Jade Jupiter S130RB

Jade Jupiter S130RB is a Defense-Type Beyblade that was released in Random Booster Vol. 8 Jade Jupiter on August 6, 2011 in Japan. It represents the planet Jupiter, and is owned by the Legendary Blader, Dunamis.

Jade Jupiter features a Gravity Ball gimmick in it's 4D Fusion Wheel, Jade. Where it can have fixed metal balls in Defense Mode, or mobile ones for Stamina Mode. Jade Jupiter also contains the Rubber Ball (RB) Performance Tip, a Ball Tip made of rubber. While Jade is not a good part suited for Defense, RB is; even becoming one of the best.

Face Bolt: Jupiter

 * Weight: 1.2 grams

The Face Bolt depicts "Jupiter". In Roman mythology, Jupiter was the King of the Gods and the God of the Sky and Thunder. He was also the brother of Neptune (Poseidon) and Pluto (Hades), as well as the counterpart to the Greek God, Zeus, from Greek mythology. The design features the head of Jupiter fused with an illusion of Aquila, Jupiter's eagle while printed on a black Face Bolt.

4D Energy Ring: Jupiter
Jupiter is a translucent violet in colour and is primarily four-sided, with each side being designed with various spikes, wings and beaks of Aquila. Just like all other 4D Energy Rings, Jupiter has a power-like substance used to increase weight. Due to it's weight, 3.11 grams, it is amongst the heaviest Energy Rings such as Pegasus II, Aquario, Bull, Kerbecs and is suitable for Defense customs.

4D Fusion Wheel: Jade

 * Weight: 39.15 grams

Metal Frame

 * Weight: 22.28 grams

Jade's Metal Frame has a four-sided design, that appears to go in a left-ward movement. It's design gives it a homage to Wheels like Leone and Rock. Each side on Jade's Core, features an oval-like hole with a metal ball encased inside of it. Since Jade's features a Gravity Ball gimmick, the metal balls allow it to do so. During spinning, the metal balls will travel to the outside of Jade, but when spin rotation starts to decrease, the balls will come back to the inside. The balls are used for spin-retaining force, to help stabilize the Bey, and take hits more efficiently. Jade's Core also features four other oval-like holes around it; in these holes, appear to reveal a purple PC Frame-like object inside of it.

Core

 * Weight: 16.87 grams

Jade's Core is a circular Core with four protrusions sprouting out from it, at four different sides. And if one was to looks closely, they would see that Jade's Core has a sun-like design to it, but just in the inside of it. There are also many holes between the sun-like design, with a thin circle lining around the Core to give it, it's circular look.

Jade has a Gravity Ball gimmick in which it can have fixed balls that stay inside the Jade for "Defense Mode" or mobile balls that move around the Wheel for "Stamina Mode"; this focuses the weight of Jade to it's outside in order to better conserve and improve Stamina. The Modes can be changed just by sliding Jade's Metal Frame across Jade's Core.

Jade was a very anticipated Fusion Wheel, due to it's Gravity Ball gimmick, giving Bladers potential that Jade would be a great Defense-Type Wheel. Despite this, Bladers were very disappointed when Jade was tested. Although Jade had shown some potential for Defense, it was still defeated by Fusion Wheels like Twisted, Variares, Blitz, and Phantom. Thus, it could not hold it's ground well enough for Defense, as well as Stamina.

A reason why Jade might have failed, may be because of Jade's total weight, 39.15 grams, whereas top-tier Defense Wheels like Duo and Death, reach into the 40 grams mark. Another reason might be the various holes, that Jade creates while in Defense Mode, on it's sides.

Spin Track: Shield 130 (S130)

 * Weight: 3.34 grams

Shield 130 (S130) is a special Spin Track with a ring around the Track's core, this was designed originally to be the largest Track in width so it could absorb hits, to reduce recoil, however BD145 is wider and absorbs hits more effectively. However, Boost Mode is exclusive to BD145 in conjunction with Hades. Made only of plastic, S130 has a horizontal disk attached to its centre. This disk actually consists of eight arms linked by some relatively round webs of plastic, which overall forms an imperfect circle. S130 is a rare height, as there are only a few Tracks with the same height: WA130 and 130, but this height is relatively pointless, and does not offer many advantages except Balance. This Track can be used in a useful combos such as MF Gravity Destroyer S130 RF/LF/MF/LRF/R2F, which with the multi-rotation of Gravity, and the over hanging of the Metal Wheel, this combo can take out most low-attacking Beys, as well as the S130 height taking out higher Beys. If it comes into contact with a low-height Attack combo, S130 should be able to reduce the recoil.



Performance Tip: Rubber Ball (RB)

 * Weight: 0.82 grams

Rubber Ball (RB), as it's name suggests, is a Ball Performance Tip, made of rubber. Interesting about it though, is that it is very wide; the widest out of any Rubber-based Performance Tip to date; possibly on par with RDF. It is a translucent black with purple rubber.

Performance-wise, RB accels in Defense; comparable to that of RS and RDF. While it contains somewhat of an RF-like movement, it still maintains a Ball-based movement as well. It's rubber allows it to have better grip on the Stadium floor, and thus take powerful hits from Attack-Types.

While obtaining great results for Defense, it has failed on certain ones, due to it's large surface area, which while creating more friction, reduces Stamina and thus, makes it easier to KO than that of RS. It also, is not suited for Attack-based combos and is terrible in Stamina, just like many other Rubber Tips.

Overall, RB has proven to be a successful Performance Tip for Defense. Even though, it's large surface area can make it easier to KO than RS, it has proven itself enough that RB, is one of the greatest Performance Tips in terms of Defense.

Attack: 2 - Defense: 5 - Stamina: 0

Trivia

 * Originally, it was thought that Jade Jupiter's parts would include GD145EF.
 * It is the only Beyblade in Random Booster Vol. 8 that has a printed/tattooed Face Bolt.
 * Jade Jupiter is one of three Beys that come with the S130 Track, the others being Poison Giraffe S130MB from the Beyblade Deck Attack and Defense Set and L-Drago Guardian S130MB from the Beyblade Ultimate DX Set.
 * Despite its name, its color is not Jade, instead it is purple.
 * This is the first Bey to feature purple (instead of red) rubber for it's Performance Tip.
 * Jade Jupiter's Face Bolt is the second printed Face Bolt out of the Legendary Beyblades, the first was Mercury Anubis 85XF.
 * Ironically, RB is a Defense-Tip, but moves more like an Attack-Type. This is also the same case with RSF as it moves more defensively than offensively even as an Attack-Tip.
 * A trick to finding Jade Jupiter in the Random Booster Pack, is to shake the box. If it rattles, one should get Jade Jupiter. What's causing the rattling, are the four metal balls in Jade. This does not happen all the time though, due to Takara Tomy adding cardboard and fixing the metal balls, so one cannot hear it.
