Soon after, Team Psykick started developing a new technology: the Cyber Bitbeasts, which are cybernetic recreations of the 4 sacred bitbeasts created to be as powerful as the original ones, so they can be captured.

In the meanwhile, Dr. Zagart reveals the truth to his son, telling him that he is not human and only the power of the 4 bitbeasts will make it possible for him to become a human being. This makes Zeo turn against Tyson and his friends.
After taking control of the most powerful bitbeast of the rock, Cerberus, he joins Gordo, another skilled player of Team Psykick and they both enter the World Championships.
There, they surprisingly defeat Ozuma and Dunga
. Then, they face Ray and Kai. Ray and Gordo’s match ends in a tie. The game between Zeo and Kai is true spectacle and the Beyblades even go out of the stadium to ride the arena.
However, Kai is defeated in the end and is unable to stop Cerberus capturing Dranzer. In the final match, Tyson defeats Gordo and Zeo captures Draciel after a hard fight.
In the beginning of the fight, Tyson’s attacks hit Zeo, whose arm is injured, revealing metal-pieces, cables and circuits under his skin. It is finally revealed that Zeo is a robot.

When the Psykicks were told they'd be fighting the Bladebreakers with artificial bit-beasts, Kane had doubts about his ability to control one, after seeing it take over his friends Jim and Goki. But after a test run, Kane feels the power of Cyber Dragoon surging through him and decides to throw his friendship with Tyson out the door.

Salima
- Salima is the Beyblader chosen to use Cyber Driger. She is very kind-hearted and truly believes in her team's goal: to learn everything they possibly can about beyblading.

Jim

He is the first to be introduced to the Cyber Bit-Beasts. The test put a physical and mental strain on Jim, and after he passed, he immediately started craving more power. He is the only Psykick to beat a Bladebreaker and capture his bit-beast, which was Max. Even though he is rather smart, he seems to have confidence issues, shown when he runs to the table crying after King and Queen destroy his beyblade. Jim is voiced by Ayaka Yamashita in the original version, and by Mary Long in the English dub.
- His beyblade is Cyber Draciel with the Sonic Radiation attack.
Goki
- Goki is the Beyblader chosen to use Cyber Dranzer. His main resolve is his raw power, although he does seem to share Kane's and Salima's values.

Jim toys with Goki, until ultimately shattering his beyblade into pieces. Goki soon realizes the power of the digital bit-beasts and starts using one himself. Like Jim, severe mental stress is put on Goki due to the Cyber Bit-beasts influence, and breaks down in tears after losing to KaiKai Hiwatariis a character from the Beyblade manga and anime series.He is the captain of the Team BBA throughout most of the anime series and the keeper of the phoenix bit-beast Dranzer, or in the original Japanese version, Suzaku, the phoenix god of the South in Chinese/Japanese legend.Kai is voiced by David...

After Leon's and Tyson's match in the manga, he goes off to live his true life with his father. In the anime his blade (before Cerberus) was called Xeronix . In G-revolution there is a short scene that shows a short-hair Zeo standing by the window.

Gordo
- This Blader was chosen by Zagart to be the teammate for Zeo. He is a skillful Beyblader, able to control a Rock Bit Beast, Orthrus.

Wyatt
- Wyatt was a student at Whitney Prep School that was one of Kai's biggest fans. He dreamed of one day being a world champion like Kai. He asks Kai to train him on multiple occasions, but is turned down. Due to this, he joins Team Psykick and uses the prototype Cyber Dranzer. His battle with Dunga puts an enormous amount of stress on him, as he was trying not to show any weakness in front of Kai. He falls to the ground, unable to handle the immense power, and dies. His death was watered down in the dub, as they don't explicitly say he is dead, but they do not say he is alive either. Kai's words about Wyatt are "he was never the same again."
Gerry
- Gerry is the very first Beyblader chosen to wield the prototype Cyber Dragoon. He uses it in a local beyblade tournament and nearly destroys the building. He collapses, falling under the pressure.
