Barricade (バリケード, Barikēdo) is a BU Blade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System and the Burst Ultimate Layer Series. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-206 Booster, Barricade Lucifer Illegal Bearing Mobius-10, on December 10th, 2022.
Description
Takara Tomy's Barricade is a right-spin Defense Type BU Blade with a circular shape and four "barrier blades". Like its predecessor, the Variant Ring, Barricade has barrier blades that deploy when the Beyblade is launched. The centrifugal force of the Beyblade's spin causes the barrier blades to deploy horizontally, and is intended to protect the Beyblade from the initial attacks of an opponent's Attack combination. Later in battle, these barrier blades retract, increasing Stamina performance. The barrier blades work best against left-spin Attack combinations, such as those using the Guilty Blade.
As the final release in Takara Tomy's Beyblade Burst toyline, Barricade features an Easter egg: the words "Thank" and "You" are written on the underside of the BU Blade.
Overall
Barricade has a specific use against left-spin Attackers such as the Guilty Blade, which is popular in the format. However, Barricade is less effective against right-spin Attackers, and has very poor Same-Spin Stamina against Stamina combinations.
As such, Barricade is not a must-have, but a welcome addition for the WBO's Burst format.
Barricade is not legal in the WBO's Burst GT format.
Barricade is not legal in the WBO's Burst Limited format.
Barricade is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic format.
