The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Listed to decide whether this should be moved as requested or whether another move is needed. Key discussion points are whether the series or the manga are the
primary topic, whether the manga should be named as-is or if there is a better title we should use for that. I don't have an opinion myself.
See below for a recap of the discussion on
WP:RM/TR:
Extended content
If I may ask, despite the different regional titling or titles, why add a disambiguator for "consistency"? If anything at all, I'd rather go for a merge into
Beyblade: Shogun Steel in case that article ain't big or fleshy enough.

Another consideration is whether the manga or the series is the
primary topic, and whichever that is should be at the root (not disambiguated) title. In this case, the
pageviews are almost the same for both so the primary topic may be unclear. In that case disambiguation would be preferable with the root
Beyblade: Shogun Steel being a disambiguation page (or just two hatnotes), but that's often a matter for discussion. The current title avoids this issue entirely because it has a different scope, but changing the title might demand that we evaluate this as well.

The manga is not even called Beyblade: Shogun Steel, only the anime season is. Though renaming it to the manga name would be inconsistent with
Beyblade: Metal Fusion where only the first season of the anime is called Beyblade: Metal Fusion while the manga series is called Metal Fight Beyblade. Tbh, I am not sure why Beyblade: Shogun Steel even warrants a separate page from Beyblade: Metal Fusion as it is in the same universe and it still has "Metal Fight Beyblade" and the manga for Seasons 2 and 3 also have their own subtitles, "Metal Fight Beyblade: Baku" and "Metal Fight Beyblade: 4D" and although it features a different cast of characters, so do most of the
Beyblade Burst series. But apparently it is considered a "separate manga" according to
this user. I do not know much about the manga, only the anime, so I have no idea if it being a "separate manga" is true or not, but whether it should be separate or not is a topic for another discussion. --

Shogun Steel is the adaption of a different manga and Metal Saga's seasons is adaptation of a different manga. Shogun Steel doesn't have multiple seasons like Metal Saga so it's fine like this.

Except we are not talking about the manga here, we are talking about the anime. Shogun Steel is just a Season 4 of the same show, not a sequel show. An article about a TV season should be called by the season's name, not "List of ..... episodes".--

Again, this page is more than just a "list of episodes", it is essentially a season page as it has a season infobox, the Beyblade seasons category, and it is the page that it is linked to in the next parameter in the infobox for
Beyblade: Metal Fury. As such, it should follow the proper naming convention for TV seasons.--

I feel like it would be too weird/inconsistent for this to be the only Metal Saga season that shares its page with its source material while the others have their own pages. Yes, I know, the Metal Saga manga was adapted as three seasons while the Shogun Steel one was adapted as a single season but still.--

Support. TV series articles, regardless if they are anime or not, are first created at the base title and only when they need to be split, are split into seasons, episodes, lists, etc.
