Layer

Layers are one of the parts that compose a Beyblade from the Burst System used in the Beyblade Burst series. They have appeared in products from B-01 to B-33.

It is the part on the top of the Beyblade that makes all the contact with opposing Beyblades. Typically, a Layer is made of a texturized transparent casing with a colored piece screwed underneath, acting as a visualization of the weight distribution. Both components are made of polycarbonate (PC) plastic, but the bottom one is softer. In some cases, the colored segment protrudes from the sides or from the top through holes in the clear cover, in order to provide a little more shock absorbtion. However, the protrusions are never as significant as the upgraded Layers, the Dual Layers.

On the colored piece of plastic that is underneath, a ring is formed in the center to be able to see the Driver's letter through the hole, but also to mold teeth that are a key element in Bursts.

Inside each Layer is an NFC chip that is hailed as a significant technological innovation by TAKARA-TOMY and news agencies in Japan. However, in reality, this chip only serves at the BeyTerminal, where it gets scanned to give players an additional chance to play and try to win one of Amaterios Aero Assault Black Ver.'s parts.

The portion of the Layer that is colored is meant to represent the mythical beast the design is based on. On top of this, the abbreviation letter associated with a Layer can always be distinguished somewhere in this design, for example: M on Minotaur.
