Battle Spirits Shounen Gekiha Dan (Battle Spirits Clash Boy Dan) is an anime inspired by Bandai's Battle Spirits trading card game and produced by Sunrise. Despite similar concepts, it is unrelated to Battle Spirits: Shounen Toppa Bashin. It aired from September 13, 2009, to September 5, 2010, at 7:00 a.m. on TV Asahi's Sunday Morning Kids Block.
The second anime inspired by Bandai's Battle Spirits trading card game follows Battle Spirits Shonen Toppa Bashin. The series recycled certain concepts and character types from the first series but focuses on an entirely separate cast and has a much more serious storyline.
The protagonist, Dan Bashin, is a red-headed hero who uses the red attribute, just like Toppa in the first series. However, rather than going through a normal life, he's taken from Earth to the world of Grand Rolo, where he learns he's one of the chosen core soldiers. With the help of his friends and comrades, Zungurii, Magisa, Clackey, Mai, and Suzuri, he battles to stop the evil Otherworld King.
The series was followed up by another 50-episode series, Battle Spirits Brave (named after the newest type of card at the time), wherein Dan and some of his old allies travel to the future. Because it is a direct sequel with many of the same characters, tropes for Brave are included on this page.
Nine years after Brave aired, a three-episode sequel called Battle Spirits Saga Brave was announced, taking place 10 years after the end of Brave.
Following the finale of Saga Brave, a new series called Battle Spirits: Gallett's Revolution was announced. It is set in the same universe as the previous three series, albeit farther into the future, and features a new protagonist named Gallett Revolt and a new species called Mauve.
