How is Nelvana's version of Beyblade different from the original Japanese version? 1. We had to cut the show to meet the North American time slot of 23 minutes. Only a few minutes though was cut from each episode. 2. Dialogue is altered slightly to reflect how North American kids speak. 3. Certain aspects of the show were changed to fit in with guidelines as set down for children's programming by the Federal Communications Commission, as well as the broadcaster's standards. North America broadcasting and programming guidelines are quite different from Japan's. 4. The storyline was pretty much kept intact with only minor alterations. 5. The character Dizzi and two hosts were added. 6. New music and sound effects were also added. How many episodes are there? Season one goes from episode 1-52.
