A bot will list this discussion on requested moves' current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil.
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.

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. Intrisit (talk) 15:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather it be at just Beyblade: Shogun Steel but there is already a page with that name. My point was that the title should not contain "List of ...... episodes" and should just be the season name like the other seasons. Also, I was originally going to go with (TV season) rather than (TV series), but I went with (TV series) because I saw Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stone (TV series) and Inazuma Eleven GO: Galaxy (TV series) which are also articles about individual seasons that use the (TV series) disambiguation.--2A01:5A8:30D:955E:A8D7:5815:93A2:C0E2 (talk) 16:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. ASUKITE 16:59, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. --2A01:5A8:30D:955E:A8D7:5815:93A2:C0E2 (talk) 17:20, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: An article with that name already exists but without the "TV series" disambiguation and this is a list of episode article so it doesn't need to moved. Someonewhoisusinginternet (talk) 18:45, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. Someonewhoisusinginternet (talk) 03:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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".--2A01:5A8:30D:955E:3C27:B37D:3CB:9DE (talk) 04:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I said an article already exists, why do you want seperate articles for manga and anime? Someonewhoisusinginternet (talk) 05:02, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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.--2A01:5A8:30D:955E:3C27:B37D:3CB:9DE (talk) 05:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already asked this, but do you actually have a source for the volume numbers restarting from Shogun Steel? Because the Beyblade Wiki lists them as Volumes 12-14, not Volumes 1-3.--2A01:5A8:30D:955E:3C27:B37D:3CB:9DE (talk) 06:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have the manga copy but just search "Beyblade Shogun Steel manga" on Google and you'll get the answer or maybe this is enough ? Someonewhoisusinginternet (talk) 08:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. Gonnym (talk) 08:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
