The A-131 Dranzer-Metal Spiral is a Balance-type Beyblade and the fifth Beyblade implementing the Hard Metal System. It is also the last Beyblade labeled with the "A" product code. It was introduced during Beyblade G-Revolution in the series' BEGA arc and during chapter 1 of the manga series' 13th volume as the Beyblade of Kai Hiwatari, before being upgraded to the Dranzer MF.

Bit Protector: Dranzer Emblem

The Bit Protector is constructed entirely of blue ABS caul plastic and comes complete with two sticker decor options:

• Dranzer Emblem: A circular sticker featuring a stylized tattoo of Dranzer's head, with the words "DRANZER" and "Heavy/Hard Metal System" (in smaller font), all in white, labeled beneath it, sitting against a green background.

• Dranzer: A circular sticker featuring a dynamic, full-colored rendition of the Bit-Beast, Dranzer against a yellow background.

The RC is probably one of the best features of this Beyblade because of its ability to switch from attack mode to Endurance mode. The RC of this Blade is different in Hasbro than in Takara and have few differences. The Takara version suffers from balance issues at lower spin velocities, whereas the Hasbro version attempted to address this issue by giving it a Semi-Flat tip, but while improved the balance problem, its performance suffered in the stamina category. Either don’t make much movement unless placed on attack mode which has an overpowering speed causing the blade to fly out of the stadium constantly. In Endurance mode most movement is made in the center of the Bey-stadium which can be good or bad depending on the opponent.

Overall Review

The Dranzer-MS Beyblade features a manual switch gimmick in its (SC) that enables the player to adapt to different situations without resorting to customization. This Manual Change Core allows Dranzer-MS to switch between attack and stamina modes after each round. This gimmick was seen in an earlier model of Dranzer Beyblade: the Dranzer-Spiral. Overall, the Dranzer-MS performs decently, but the height of the Manual Change Core compromises the effectiveness of the Spiral Upper (AR).
