Guardian Leviathan 160SB

Guardian Revizer 160SB (Japanese: ガーディアンリヴァイザー160SB, Gādeian Rivaizā 160SB) is a Defense-Type Beyblade, part of the Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G series. It also appears in the anime and manga series, Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G, owned by Kite Unabara. It was released as a Starter on May 19, 2012 in Japan and retails for ¥997.

Stone Face: Revizer
This Stone face depicts Revizer, a giant sea serpent known as Leviathan. The bolt itself is black with Levizer, whose tail is curled, faces left so you can only see its profile. Its tail and body are green, and its eye is a piercing yellow.

Appearance
The Revizer Chrome Wheel has a wall-like appearance with no obvious attack points, and is very smooth. Even so, it has high recoil. Saramanda would be a better defensive choice.

Performance and competitive use
Revizer can be used in attack combos thanks to its high recoil, although it is very smooth.

Customization(s)
Defense: MSF/MSF-H Reviser Revizer E230CS/RDF

Overall
Revizer actually seems to be better suited as an Attack type Chrome Wheel, thanks to its high recoil.

Appearance
Guardian is a translucent blue in color, a darker shade than the Pirates crystal wheel. It is made with the shape of a sheild carved in it. The shield depicts multiple crests and marks.

Appearance
It is a transluscent dark green in colour, and is modelled more like 230 rather than 145, unlike many other tracks.

Performance and competitive use
Paired with SB, this track can be top-tier in defense combos when it has absolute middle, but can be suicidal when not in the middle.

Customization(s)
Shinobi Saramanda 160SB

Overall
160 should always be used if you want your Chrome Wheel to stay off the stadium walls.

Appearance
It is the same color as 160, and is the opposite of BS, which has a ball-shape with a spike point rather than the sharp-shape and ball point of SB.

Performance and competitive use
This tip has a high tilt ratio, yet it has a near perfect balance counter when used with 160. The Chrome wheel will rarely scrape the wobbling stadium walls if used with the 160 track.

Customization(s)
Shinobi Saramanda 160SB

Overall
Guardian Revizer's counter balance is perfect, but Guardian should have less recoil if this would succeed as a defense type.

Trivia

 * Although this Beyblade's official name is Guardian Revizer, in the run-up to its release, it was identified as Reviser, Levizer and many other similar names by various sources, including the Beyblade.co.jp site, and the WBO's head admin, Kai-V.
 * It was released on the same day as the Zero-G Defense Type Stadium.
 * This is the first bey with the 160 Spin Track, and the SB tip.

Origin
Guardian Revizer is based on the Leviathan, shown by its name. The Leviathan is a sea monster described and appearing in the Bible. However as time passed, the term "Leviathan" became a synonym for any sea monster; one example would be the popular, Loch Ness Monster. In Modern Hebrew however, Leviathan simply means "whale".

In the Bible, the Leviathan appears as a serpentine-like sea monster, which was struck by lightning by God. Once struck, its heads broke into various pieces and then God gave the flesh of it to the people of the wilderness. It is also called the "wriggling serpent" that will be killed at the end of time.

The Leviathan also appears later in the Bible as one of the Seven Princes of Hell; representing envy and is Hell's gatekeeper; Hellmouth.

Name origin
Revizer is obviously derived by the name, Leviathan. However, because of Engrish, where Japanese tend to change the English characters of "l" to "r" because they sound identical in Japanese; it became Revizer. The "zer" part of the name is unknown where it came from at the moment.

Guardian refers to an individual who protects and defends someone from danger and harm and essentially; serves as their keeper. This fits with the Beyblade, because Guardian Revizer is a Defense-Type.
