Lightning L-Drago 100HF

Lightning L-Drago 100HF is an Attack-Type Beyblade that appears in Beyblade: Metal Fusion. It is also known as the "Forbidden Bey". It belongs to Ryuga and it is one of the Metal Saga beys. It is a left spinning bey. Others include L-Drago 105F, Meteo L-Drago LW105LF, Gravity Perseus AD145WD, L-Drago Destroy F:S, and Variares D:D. In the anime, it was proven to be the first left-rotation bey. By rotating the Energy Ring 180 degrees, you can change it between "Upper Attack Mode" and "Rapid Attack mode (also called Multi-Hit Mode)". Lightning L-Drago was the first Beyblade created in the world (even though it was not the first in the real world). The second was its counterpart, Storm Pegasus 105RF.

History
Lightning L-Drago was one of two meteorites that landed on Earth. The people who found the meteor wanted the power so they created the basis for L-Drago. L-Drago was known as the "Forbidden Bey". Over time people with dark hearts came into posession of the Bey. After hearing about L-Drago, the people of Koma Village created the basis of Storm Pegasus with the other meteorite. After that, the people used Pegasus to battle L-Drago. Pegasus was barely able to win. After that, they sealed L-Drago away. The people of Koma Village also used Pegasus's design for every other Beyblade, which is the reason why L-Drago is one of the only Beys that spin to the left. At first, it was thought that L-Drago was the only bey that spun to the left, but as Gingka and Co. started traveling around the world, two more emerged; Gravity Destroyer AD145WD and Variares D:D. Ryuga and Doji went and stole Lightning L-Drago from Koma Village. Ryo tried to stop Ryuga and Doji from leaving with L-Drago, but failed and was injured in the process.

Face Bolt: L-Drago I
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Draco, it is the Latin word for "dragon" and one of the 88 constellations in space. The design features a furocious Dragon looking towards the left, a reference to L-Drago's spin direction. Underneath the Dragon, you can see the words L Drago.

Energy Ring: L-Drago I
The L-Drago Energy Ring is shaped like 3 dragon heads, being based off of the constellation Draco. It is the second heaviest Energy ring. It has come in the original clear-white color, Coro-Coro's limited edition black colour, and Hasbro's special edition gold version. It is similar in positioning to the Striker energy ring. Unlike its future forms, it is the only one with no rubber; concluding that it can't absorb enemy attacks. L-Drago's unique function is mode change. Turning it 180° allows one to switch between two modes on the Fusion Wheel; Upper to Multi-Hit Mode. The Energy Ring allows this differentiation since it covers three of the six protrusions at all times.
 * Weight: 3.6 grams.


 * It has some chances of dealing Upper Attack. Due to being made of plastic, after a lot of hard battles, the three dragon heads will appear to be smashed in. This greatly reduces spin stealing. It carries a few distinct differences from most of the Hybrid Wheel System.

Attack: 5 - Defense: 2 - Stamina: 0

Fusion Wheel: Lightning
The Lightning Wheel has 2 modes (Upper Attack Mode and Multi-Hit Mode) to it, which can be alternated by rotating the Energy Ring 180 degrees. 1 mode has 3 joined little ridged blades, for a rapid Multi-hit mirage attack. It is very useful against Beyblades that are knocked off balance easily. The other mode has 3 large slopes forming a triangle, and produce an impeccable amount of Smash Attack. In the anime, Ryuga uses this mode for his Dark Move, because this mode is the better out of the two.
 * Weight: 29.7 grams

Customisations

 * MF Lightning L-Drago BD145LRF/RF (Attack) = It is an almost unstoppable Attack combo. BD145 gives more balance and power to Lightning, while simultaneously lowering the center of gravity, however this is an EXTREMELY difficult combo to use correctly, and to its full potential, it requires the absolute mastery of manipulation of the LRF and RF bottoms, as well as a mastery of the sliding shot and powerful banking.
 * MF Lightning L-Drago 90/100/CH120RF/LRF (Attack)
 * MF Lightning L-Drago ED145LF/LRF/HF (Attack)
 * MF-H Lightning L-Drago SW145/ED145/UW145MS/RS (Balance)

Attack: 6 - Defense: 0.5 - Stamina: 0.5

Spin Track: 100
100 is currently the third lowest Track available. Its low height allows Attack Wheels such as Storm (first Storm Wheel was on Storm Pegasus) to make good contact with opposing Tracks and Wheels. However, a BD145 will do a better job for better Attack.
 * Weight: 1.0 grams

Attack: 2 - Defense: 0 - Stamina: 0

Performance Tip: Hole Flat (HF)
HF has a very similar movement and speed to that of F, with the main difference being a slight Stamina improvement due to the hole in the middle of the tip. But with this comes the detriment of even less grip to the stadium floor than F, and also increased fragility. This part, therefore, is a negligible tip. However, an MF will be much better for stamina and has slightly better attack. It also seems to have slightly better stamina than LF. HF also has the ability to maintain the banking shoot pattern.
 * Weight: 0.6 grams

Attack: 4 - Defense: 0 - Stamina: 3

Special Moves

 * Dragon Emperor: Soaring Bite Strike: Ryuga's first finishing move in the anime and manga is called (竜皇翔咬撃, Ryūō Shoukougeki), it is referred to as a "Dark Spin Move" (暗黒転技, Ankoku Tengi).
 * Dragon Emperor: Soaring Destruction: Ryuga's second finishing move in the anime and manga (竜皇天翔殺, Ryūō Tenshōsatsu). Ryuga used it for the first time when he was under L-Drago's control.

Trivia

 * Many people compare Lightning L-Drago 100HF to Storm Pegasus 105RF. Storm Pegasus' RF tip has more grip, and has more defense. Stamina: The Hole-Flat of Lightning L-Drago provides more stamina than the Rubber Flat of Storm Pegasus. And on Attack, while their stats are quite equal; as stated by Madoka Amano, Lightning L-Drago has the ability to repeatingly attack its opponent after collision because of the way that it spins, unlike Storm Pegasus who must chase its foes to repeatedly attack; this gives Lightning L-Drago 100HF the overall advantage in attack. For Lightning L-Drago, It uses its collision impact from its amazing attack power to make up for its weak balance and defense. In a real match between Lightning L-Drago 100HF against Storm Pegasus 105RF, Storm Pegasus wins as it has more grip. However, Lightning L-Drago wins mostly as it has lots of Smash attack in its Fusion Wheel.
 * While many say that L-Drago was among the first Beyblades ever made, it is actually the first Beyblade ever. It was to defeat L-Drago that Koma Village created Pegasus.
 * L-Drago can use its impact to steal some of the other beys spinning power however because the energy ring is plastic it can not really absorb it would just repel.
 * In the original series Tyson has a Dragon Bey which is not an evil Bey, but in the Metal Saga L-Drago is an evil Bey.
 * If you place the Energy Ring from the Hasbro Super Vortex Battle Set Version onto the Takara Tomy Black Version Fusion Wheel, you will have a fully gold L-Drago.
 * Lightning L-Drago is the first Bey created to have a mode Change.
 * It was L-Drago who inspired the creation of Omega Dragonis and Ray Striker.
 * Lightning L-Drago doesn't have any rubber on it, unlike its evolutions, Meteo L-Drago LW105LF, L-Drago Destroyer F:S and L-Drago Guardian S130MB.
 * In the anime, Lightning L-Drago used dark power to absorb strength from other Beys, because it didn't have rubber, but Meteo L-Drago has rubber so in the anime, it uses its own power to absorb strength.
 * The Corocoro Limited Ver. appeared in the manga, unlike the other versions of L-Drago, which didn't appear in the manga or in the anime.
 * Takara-Tomy may later succeed the L-Drago Beyblades with the release of the Zero-G Beyblade Dark Knight Dragoon LW160BSF.
 * Lightning L-Drago is the only Attack-Type in Beyblade: Metal Fusion that doesn't use the Storm Wheel.
 * People think that L-Drago and Dragoon are related. But in chinese terms, Dragoon was the East Dragon and L-Drago was the West Dragon.
