Face: Ifraid (イフレイド)
The Face depicts an Ifrit, as Samurai Ifraid is based on the Ifrit, it showcases the face of an Ifrit looking to the right in a scorching, red outline. With it's devil-like horns sprouting with a white reptile-like eye and opening its mouth with a fang, on its upper side. Designed in a brick-like red with white highlights whilst on a blue Face.

Appearance
Ifraid is a silver with various cuts, curves, and edges all around it. Ifraid has fire designs on two sides, with them curving around the top of Ifraid with their long, elongated, and curved shapes. Near the flames, is a circular hole; the hole is for the crystal from the Crystal Wheel to fit into. While at the bottom of Ifraid, there is a detailed face of an Ifrit. Glaring front-and-centre with its jaw open. Next to the Ifrit head are the spiked protrusions and curves Ifraid contains. This is so due to one of the focuses of Zero-G being, asymmetrical designs. Another probable cause for the chaotic shape of Ifraid is due to it being an Attack-Type.

Performance and competitive use
Ifraid can be placed either above or beneath Samurai.

Appearance
Samurai is a semi-translucent dark red and carries a circular design, though with some cuts and gaps as well. Samurai features various square-like designs around and as with all, Samurai has a crystal. This crystal, while in a circular shape, is designed to fit into the hole of the Ifraid Chrome Wheel.

Appearance
Circle Flat (CF), is the very first, new Track of Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G. With this, it is designed in a manner that is meant to work with the new Beystadiums of the new series.

Performance and competitive use
CF's purpose comes from its ring. The ring is designed so that it will scrape or do something similar in a Zero-G Beystadium, as to prevent it from becoming knocked out of the Beystadium and help it, grip, to the Beystadium floor.

Trivia

 * This is the second Beyblade to have "Samurai" in its name. The first being Samurai Changer MS from HMS.
 * The design of Samurai Ifraid's motif is reminiscent to the Bit Protector motifs from HMS.
 * Additionally, there appears to be what seems like an illusion of a bird on the Face, which looks to the right while flapping its wing up at the top of the Ifrit.
 * Originally, the English Beyblade fanbase thought Ifraid was spelled "Ifreid".

Origin
Samurai Ifraid is based on the Ifrit, as evident by it's name. Ifrits were supernatural creatures of Arabic and Islamic cultures. Ifrits were enormous, winged creatures associated with fire that were usually depicted as being evil; though not all were. Its design is influenced by Ifrits, seeing as it is shown on Samurai Ifraid's motif as well as its face on its silver "body section". Its owner, Zero Kurogane, even has a fiery highlight on his hair, as a reference to Ifrits having to do with fire.
