Blazing Teens is a Chinese show that was created in 2006. The show focuses on high schools that hold yo-yo contests. Blazing Teens was released outside of China and was translated into Latin, English, Urdu, Arabic, and Hindi. It aired on Pogo in India, Cartoon Network in Pakistan, Nickelodeon, MinikaGO, and Kidz TV in Turkey. The schools construct teams and participate in competitions to win against other schools. Each team has their own issues that they solve. Each yo-yo has a name that reflects the toy's design. The show makes use of minor special effects in order to portray "magic" and the speed of the yo-yo. These magic spells are 'battling' and the person whose magic remains, wins.
In 2015, Hasbro acquired the North American rights to the franchise and has co-produced a Chinese-American animated series with Guangdong Alpha Animation & Culture Co. called Blazing Team: Masters of Yo Kwon Do. On October 21, 2015, Hasbro Studios uploaded a trailer for the series. The series started airing on Discovery Family on November 13, 2015.
The main characters are Leon, Mini, Mark and Michael. Leon is the protagonist and Michael is the rival. Some of the yo-yo tricks are common, like the Forward Pass, Loop-the-Loop, Three-Leaf-Clover, Trapeze, Double or Nothing, Gravity Pull, etc. The show also has some tricks of its own created by the producers (most of the tricks are for professionals) like the White Buddha, Buddha's Revenge and the Cold Fusion (hardest trick of Season One).
Leon lost to Michael in the yo-yo contest of California and in taunt, Michael said that Leon can never beat him if his Eastern techniques can't beat his own Western speed. So to learn more and train the power of the Eastern yo-yo power, Leon returns to China and stops a robbery on his trip, which catches the eye of a school coach who had been given the work of starting a yo-yo team for JiangHai school. The school doesn't have the required money to get a training spot and uniforms, and the coach must find a way to solve this problem. By trying to use his own cash, the coach stood on the work of making the team by taking the school's yo-yo players in a trick show.
