Judgement Valkyrie Zenith Quake' Gou (ジャッジメントヴァルキリー・ゼニス・クエイク・轟, Jajjimento Varukirī Zenisu Kueiku Gou) is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Gatinko Layer System. It was released as a CoroCoro Exclusive Booster in Japan.
Gatinko Chip - Valkyrie
- Main article: Gatinko Chip - Valkyrie
Valkyrie is a right-spin Gatinko Chip that features an armored face with a stylized V adorning the helmet, intended to represent the Gatinko Chip's namesake, Odin's handmaidens in Norse mythology, Valkyrie. Valkyrie has a standard weight for Gatinko Chips and high Burst Resistance. Valkyrie features two hard Locks, giving it high Burst Resistance, even when a Dash Driver is not used. When paired with the Goku Layer Weight, Valkyrie is an excellent Gatinko Chip to use in right-spin Combinations.
Hasbro's Valtryek is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Valkyrie, but manufactured with weaker materials.
Layer Weight - Gou

In-depth information for the Gou Layer Weight will be placed here once drafting has been completed for it. Please be patient.
Layer Base - Judgement
- Main article: Layer Base - Judgement
Takara Tomy's Judgement is a right-spin Attack Type Base with an elliptical shape, and two large rubber blades as the primary points of contact. The elliptical shape and rubber blades create powerful Smash Attack, in turn providing high Knock-Out (KO) and Burst Attack potential. Due to its powerful Smash Attack, Judgement is the stongest Attack Type Base, and is best used with rubber flat tips, which have high speeds. To control its significant recoil, Drivers such as Xtreme' and Quick' are recommended, as they have controllable movement patterns.
Forge Disc - Zenith
- Main article: Forge Disc - Zenith
Zenith, like Magnum, Jerk and Polish, is a Forge Disc made up of a metal core and plastic perimeter making up the gimmick of the Disc. Unlike the aforementioned Discs however, Zenith uses a different metal core with three blades in the shape of "Z"s.
For Zenith's gimmick, the plastic houses rubber sections, meant to increase recoil and increase Attack potential during Disc-to-Layer contact. However, due to most Burst Performance Tips being of similar heights, such contact is rare. Furthermore, if such contact does occur, the rubber is liable to act as brakes, slowing the Zenith Combination down. Additionally, because the rubber extends to the underside of the Disc, which when combined with Zenith's rough perimeter, any Life-After-Death potential is nullified.
Despite the non-functioning gimmick, Zenith's metal core is significantly heavier than that of Magnum, Jerk and Polish, with weight comparable to commonly used Core Discs with Frames. Furthermore, the triangular design of the metal synergizes with the Valkyrie series of Layers, significantly increasing their Attack potential without negatively affecting balance.
Performance Tip - Quake'
- Main article: Performance Tip - Quake'
Quake' features an elliptical shaped flat tip that is off center of the Performance Tip, meant to make the Beyblade that it is connected to jump around the stadium akin to Quake in Metal Fight Beyblade. However, due to how shallow the tip's angle is as well as how little it is off center, the effect is not consistent and must rely on a lightweight and off balance Combination as well as a heavily angled launch. The hopping gimmick is meant to create Disc-to-Layer contact and Burst the opponent, however the aforementioned lack of consistency in the effect makes such an attack method not recommended for competitive play. Furthermore, the offset and slanted tip means that Quake' is incapable of maintaining a Banking Pattern and will grind against the Tornado Ridge, making Quake' ill-suited for Mobile Attack and Tornado Staller Combinations in general.
Like other Dash Performance Tips, Quake' features a stronger spring lock, increasing the Performance Tip's Burst Resistance.
