Lightning L-Drago (Upper Type) (ライトニングエルドラゴ (アッパー型), Raitoningu Erudorago (Appā Gata)) is a Blade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Basic Line system. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BX-00 Random Booster Lightning L-Drago 1-60F on September 14th, 2024.
Description
"Lightning L-Drago" can refer to 2 left-spin Attack Type Blades and X-Over Project adaptations of the L-Drago I Face, L-Drago I Clear Wheel, and Lightning Metal Wheel that came with the Metal Series' Hybrid Wheel System Beyblade, Lightning L-Drago 100HF. Due to the design of the system, the Blade parts are not customizable. As a result, the "Lightning L-Drago" Blades lack the mode change gimmick of the original parts, instead separating the Upper and Rapid-Hit Modes as two separate Blades: the "Lightning L-Drago (Upper Type)" Blade and the "Lightning L-Drago (Rapid-Hit Type)" Blade. Like the original parts' Upper Mode, the Lightning L-Drago (Upper Type) Blade has three upward sloping blades that act as the main contact points, which can be used for Smash Attack.
Rulings
Official tournaments held by Beyblade Battle Base (B4) treat both "Lightning L-Drago" Blades as the same Blade.[1] As such, only 1 of the 2 "Lightning L-Drago" Blades can be used in a 3on3 Battle deck. In addition, they cannot be swapped with each other, as swapping or rearranging parts during a match is prohibited.
