* GenreSavvy: Thunder Dracyan [[spoiler:especially about Novu]] and Riki when it comes to ancient temples & mysteries.
** DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Samuru is the only B-Shot to suspect [[spoiler:Novu for trying to rule the B-Daman Organization.

And as a added bonus, when Riki and Yuki fight against Derek and Novu’s B-Daman’s Fusion, he jumps in, providing enough of a distraction for Rory and [[BigGood Grandpa Takakura]] to arrive]].

* BigBadassBirdOfPrey: Yuki's B-Daman.

B-Daman Crossfire is an anime series about Riki Ryugasaki who became a the holder of a rare B-Daman & joins a group of B-Daman champions. This is B-Daman's second chance in America since [[Anime/BattleBDaman the other series that made it to the states]] [[{{Hatedom}} did very poorly there]].

!! The show has the following tropes

** BrokenAce: Samuru’s is an IneffectualLoner who couldn’t make friends since his dad had to travel all the time-Riki being the only person he could be “friends” with. [[spoiler: On the other hand, Novu is so perfect that he wants to rule the WBMA with an iron fist.]]
* AmbiguouslyGay[=/=]AmbiguouslyBi: Simon Sumiya. He’s a gynophobic with signs of being only slightly interested in girls.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: As it turns out, Novu]].

* DarkIsEvil: Basara and [[spoiler: Double Drazeros.]]

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]: Non-romantic example, Samuru towards Riki.
* DuelingShows: Currently with [[Anime/BeybladeZeroG Beyblade: Shogun Steel]].

* FatBestFriend: Grizz. Unlike most [[TheBigGuy big guys]], he’s [[GeniusBruiser smart at most times]].
* FaceHeelTurn: After Reggie confronts [[spoiler: Novu and Derek, Novu]] beats him and uses a BreakingSpeech to convince him to join his side, which results in Reggie becoming stronger through ThePowerOfHate.

* FinishingMove: Every B Shot and their B Daman have a Super Shot, where the B Daman's AnimalMotifs comes out for a super strong final attack, like a Special Move.
* FiveManBand: The East Block B-Shots form one.
** TheHero: Riki Ryugasaki is the main character, and even though he’s the NaiveNewcomer of the group, but he is quickly established in the group as a MagneticHero, having almost everyone either like him, respect him, or see him as a powerful rival.
** TheSmartGuy[=/=]TheLancer: Yuki Washimura. Even though he’s the East B-Shots most intelligent member and knows the most about Crossfire, he plays more of the best friend role to Riki, has a lot of {{Badass}} & BigDamnHeroes moments, is incredibly skilled, hardly every loses, and he’s the top B-Shot in the block aside from Riki.
** TheBigGuy: Grizz Sukino is a combination of Class 2 and Class 5. He’s physically the strongest in the group, his B-Daman can shoot down statues that would take a lot of rapid-fire shots to destroy, and [[TrainingFromHell goes under serious training]] usually seen in manga like Manga/Naruto.
** TheLancer[=/=]TheSmartGuy: Kaito Samejima. He’s a perfect {{Foil}} to Riki and has a reckless personality and a unique style when it comes to Crossfire. He also has a lot of smart and creative ideas and in the second part of the series [[spoiler: he single-handedly came up with a new gear to tie with the black dragon B-Shot]].
** TheChick[=/=]TheHeart: Simon Sumiya. He’s a gynophobic with a ItsAllAboutMe complex, but he turns out as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a shy personality.
** [[TagalongKid Tagalong Girl]]: Sumi Inaba. She’s Riki close friend and introduced him to the world of B-Daman, but is locked out of the loop when it comes to Crossfire. [[spoiler: Once Crossfire is revealed to the public, she immediately wants a piece of the action and a talking B-Daman.]]
** SixthRanger[=/=][[spoiler: SixthRangerTraitor]][=/=][[spoiler: TokenEvilTeammate]]: Novu Moru. He transferred to from the South block to the East block and he’s famous of being close with the WBMA, [[spoiler: though he is the BigBad and sides with the East Block so he can take control from within.]]
* GenreSavvy: Thunder Dracyan [[spoiler: especially when it came down to Novu]] and Riki when it comes to ancient temples & mysteries.
** DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Samuru was the only B-Shot to suspect [[spoiler: Novu for trying to rule the B-Daman Organization. [[SpannerInTheWorks He didn’t participate in any of the tournaments while Novu was around, kept a close on him, and when Novu was almost exposed, he showed up with recorded evidence against him. And as a added bonus, when Riki and Yuki fought against Derek and Novu’s B-Daman’s FusionDance, he jumped in, providing enough of a distraction for Rory and]] [[BigGood Grandpa Takakura]] [[SpannerInTheWorks to arrive]]]].

* HotBlooded: Kaito is this, which is [[{{Irony}} Ironic]] since his B Daman is [[MakingASplash Lightning Fin]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[NiceGuy Reggie]], [[spoiler: [[TheDragon Derek]]]], and Hugo, though the latter was a UnwittingPawn.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Riki, Samuru, Novu, Basara, and [[spoiler: Rudy]] B-Damans are those. According to Yuki and Takakura, they are strongest and oldest types of B-Daman.

* MagicSkirt: One part of the first episode, Sumi's skirt breifly became hoopy as [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Amy Rose's dress]].

* TheRival: Samuru starts to acknowledge Riki as one.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: In the final Crossfire event of season 1, [[spoiler: Riki and Dracyan invoked this when the power of the B-Cyrstal responded to their determination to beat Samuru and Dravise]].
** Yuki tried to invoke this on Reggie to convince him to stop following [[spoiler: Novu]]. [[Awesome/BDamanCrossfire It worked awesomely, even if he did lose]].

* ShipTease: Riki and Rory, as well as Riki and Sumi and Simon and Sumi, which lead to…
** ShipToShipCombat: Its [=RikixRory=] vs. [=RikixSumi=] or [=SimonxSumi=] vs. [=RikixSumi=].
* TheSmartGuy: Yuki
* TournamentArc: Every Crossfire event is one, but the notable ones are the East vs. West Block Battle, the battle to crown the overall champion of Crossfire at the end of the first half of the series, and currently the East GP.

* UnskilledButStrong: Basara is this trope. He’s so physically strong that every time he’d tried to use a B-Daman, it couldn’t handle his strength. When he gets Double Drazeros, he has no understanding of the rules, so he easily gets school but Kaito [[spoiler: and nearly lost for it to]]. Riki was also this in the beginning.
* TheWorfEffect: Kaito lost to Hugo twice, and was [[CurbStompBattle easily beaten by Asuka Kami]].

* YouTalkTooMuch: Samuru says this about Lightning Dravise.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did it Have to Be Girls]]: He has gynophobia, so when Simon first encountered Sumi, he was scared. Though he may have a secret crush on her. [[spoiler: In the second series, we now know why. His sisters used to force him to dress up like a girl.]]
* ZettaiRyouiki: Rory wears this with short shorts.

* * TheAce: Samuru, Novu, Yuki, and eventually Riki.

** BrokenAce: Samuru’s is an IneffectualLoner who couldn’t make friends since his dad had to travel all the time-Riki being the only person he could be “friends”\ with. [[spoiler: On the other hand, Novu is so perfect that he wants to rule the WBMA with an iron fist.]]

** DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Samuru was the only B-Shot to suspect [[spoiler: Novu for trying to rule the B-Daman Organization. [[SpannerInTheWorks He didn’t participate in any of the tournaments while Novu was around, kept a close on him, and when Novu was almost exposed, he showed up with recorded evidence against him. And as a added bonus, when Riki and Yuki fought against Derek and Novu’s B-Daman’s FusionDance, he jumped in, providing enough of a distraction for Rory and [[BigGood Grandpa Takakura]] to arrive]].
