BEYBLADE: Metal Saga/Shogun Steel/BeyRaiderz/Cyborg

Yo, YTV, what the hell ... Another restart of the first season ? If the cable had not somehow already changed and removed YTV from its channels, I would just abandon it right now.

Then the United States will get the new episodes soon, Australia too, Europe, and months after that, perhaps Canada, but no, we will get another rerun.
I guarantee that Canada will get them first. Just because their will be reruns, don't mean they won't skip them when necessary. I guarantee July 2011 for Canada. Also, Nelvana needs time to dub additional episodes. They probably have dubbed 26 episodes in their studio already. It's not just YTV's decision. Nelvana has probably told YTV around the time they could start airing it.
Given that YTV will likely only be airing 1 episode a week again, Nelvana would've already long since recorded the end of Metal Masters by the time they'd hit 26.
Like I said, YTV will most likely be airing Metal Masters in July, regardless of where they are in reruns.
I have almost no doubt that Canada will get them first but then I think they might start airing them at the same time in all countries as last year wherever the new episodes aired it was on youtube not long after for all to see, maybe Nelvana doesn't want the same to happen again this year :\

The only other thing I can think of is that maybe Nelvana want to build excitement and anticipation for Metal Masters. I do think that they may do a Sneak peek in Canada around July-ish

I don't think it is to do with how many episodes have been dubbed as we got the very first season of Beyblade late May/early June 2002 in the UK (the first 10 or so episodes anyway with the other episodes upto 39 airing from July onwards), though I do wonder how long does it take to dub a season of Beyblade. My guess is around 8/9 months.

EDIT: found this link saying a M. Christian Heywood (Labrat in Grossology) will be Zeo in Metal Masters not only that but they have changed voice directors since Metal Fusion http://www.milkchoco.ca/

He sounds like a kind that they would accept for a character.But i just hope they change ryuga his voice actor really sucked in the metal fusion
Look what I found. I think this is a french dub of Metal Masters episode 1:

and I can confirm that Masamune's name is still Masamune not the rumored "James".

Also, a torrent of the first ep of Metal Masters in French is available. Here's the upload from MU:

After that, repeats. No new episodes airing as of yet.
Nelvana renamed Julius Caesar to Julian Konzern. What the hell. What is wrong with a name that everybody knows anyway ? Who does not know who Julius Caesar is ?

Dora is now Lera too ...

Puten is Anton, a name which seems far too American for a Russian ...
Looks like they want to eliminate any kind of connection with reality, but really, a name like that does not represent at all Ceasar's personality. And is Konzern a last name or first name at all?
"Konzern" is his dub last name.

Flosal was more asking whether Konzern is a real name or not (personally I have not heard of it before). Changing the last name was not so bad but changing Julius to Julian was a step too far.

I have to admit these name changes are quite moronic, for Puten and Julius I guess it is like Flosal said they are cutting connections to reality and as for Dora to Lera maybe they don't want the viewers to confuse her with Dora the Explorer (though having said that Lera is a nicer name anyway).

The French dub is airing but no word on the English dub, aren't Nelvana gonna try and make people excited for it like letting Canada have a sneak peek? Seeing Canada get their sneak peeks for G-Rev made me more excited for G-Rev to air but they are doing no such thing for Metal Masters it seems.

I still think they will air the dub at the same time in all English speaking countries tbh
This means that "Faust" will almost assuredly be changed too ..­.

Konzern seems to only be a German word. Yo, Nelvana, he is clearly from Italy, what were you thinking ...
Considering the implications the "Faust" name change is almost inevitble.

Hmmm I dunno what they are thinking but I thought the point of being co-producers was to make the new Beyblade a more faithful adaptation no?
Also, to anyone who says they want to cut all ties to reality : Voltaire ? Souichiru was a fine name, yet they changed it to the name of a sarcastic French philosopher. However, I doubt anybody complained about that name, just the fact that it was changed ... Actually, using that name made some people research its origins and made them learn more about this great philosopher.
Uhhhhh....Why rename their great names to something that doesn't even fit their race?(/ethincy/whatever) Their names are fine, <off topic and they also screwed up the beys names. Twisted Tempo?

Woah forgot about Voltaire there but it did make a good villain's name and I am not sure if I would have understood Souichiru as it looks hard to prounounce, hmm you could say it is a difference of dubbing standards I mean that was way back in 2002 and it is 2011 now and rules may have changed about how to dub and whatnot also different people dubbing and writing is another factor.

Though having said that this fact has just made the name changes in Metal Masters go from moronic to downright pointless.

Twisted Tempo sounds like some rythmn music or dance XD

Are you sure it's "Anton" and not "Antoine"? I think that would make more sense.

I thought Julius Caesar was a book? Wait, it is a book. But wasn't he also a philosopher?

Dora being changed to Lera, I can understand. It's probably because every time the character's name would be said, people probably would have thought of Dora The Explorer...

I hope Faust doesn't get a name change... Faust has a cool name. Joyful_2

EDIT: According to the Wall Street Journal, Beyblade: Metal Masters will air this fall in the U.S. In my opinion, that's a pretty long wait, but it gives me time to save up money for the season 2 Beyblades. Tongue_out

Also, wow! That's a lazy Dub theme. Tongue_out

No, it is really "Anton". The French know how to write "Antoine", but that is not what they wrote. "Anton" is really, to me, one of the worst names ever created.

Are you serious ? I really hope you are not ...

Using a more 'existing' and similar name like "Nora" would have made a lot more sense.

Faust will definitely be changed, we are talking about Nelvana ...

Hmm... Maybe the person just didn't know how to write Antoine? Oh well. In my opinion, that name should have been left alone. But since it wasn't, it better be announced the way I think it is. (Anne-Ton)

I'm completely serious. I used to know who he was. But I have long since forgot. If I am correct, he was a man with power in government. I guess I better google it.

As long as it's not Dora, I'm fine with the name. (Unless it sounds dumb) But Nora would have probably been a better choice.

That sucks. They're killing such an epic name! Unhappy

i HATE that song for some reason

Same. I was hoping for something more awesome for the new season. Metal Fight Explosion's opening was epic, and I was hoping for something at least half as good. UnhappyUnhappyUnhappy is all I can say to this.
I wish that metal masters would come as fast as it did in the usa
Not the USA I meant France cause I live in the US and I want to see all of the characters
I have been told that Cartoon Network Australia will be hosting the world premiere of Beyblade: Metal Masters starting July 25 as the series airs Mon-Fri.
Quite interesting! I want to see how this will work.

Thanks, To!
