Katana Muramasa M7 Quacchu-Q Mobius-Q+Rise-10' is a Defense and Stamina Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Katana Muramasa M7 and Vanish Cobra C7 Dual Pack for USD$16.99 in the United States.
Drive Chip - Muramasa M7
- Main article: Drive Chip - Muramasa M7
Hasbro's Muramasa M7 is a right-spin Drive Chip that features the side profile of a helmeted face representing the Drive Chip's namesake, the legendary Japanese swordsmith Muramasa. On the side of the helmet is a stylized letter "M". Muramasa M7 has an average weight for Drive Chips and below average Burst Resistance.
Blade - Katana
- Main article: Blade - Katana
Hasbro's Katana is a round right-spin Stamina Type QD Blade featuring a design with two hands holding Muramasa katana swords. The round shape of Katana creates decent Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), however its light weight and sloped sides make it outclassed by other Energy Layers for Stamina Combinations. Like other QD Blades, Katana can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).
Despite its Stamina Type classification and round shape, Katana is thin with a hollow underside, making it lighter than other Stamina Type Blades. Its perimeter is also slightly sloped, and its weight distribution is unimpressive due to the hollow underside. Katana is consequently outclassed by thicker and heavier Stamina Type Blades such as Gambit and Whirl.
Gravity Ring - 10'
- Main article: Gravity Ring - 10'
Hasbro's 10' is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 10 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 10, with minor design alterations. In theory, 10' has its weight distributed evenly at ten points to enhance stability. In practice however, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they are all around the same weight and offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. As any differences in the weight distribution of a Combination are negligible, it is difficult to suggest using a particular Gravity Ring over another. Furthermore, most QuadDrive Layers are lightweight and thus outclassed by heavier Layers.
Forge Disc - Quacchu-Q
- Main article: Forge Disc - Quacchu-Q
Hasbro's Quacchu-Q is a circular QD Disc with four large gaps along the edge. These gaps are intended to increase Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), boosting Stamina while the circular perimeter increases Life-After-Death (LAD). The design has a downward sloping conical shape similar to Tapered-Q and features textures resembling samurai armor. Compared to Tapered-Q, Quacchu-Q is strictly inferior, weighing less and having a higher scrape risk due to its lower hanging conical segments. If Quacchu-Q is used in combinations with the Greatest Armor Gravity Ring, the conical segments will push against the Gravity Ring to the point of heavy plastic stress, greatly increasing Burst Resistance.
Performance Tip - Mobius-Q
- Main article: Performance Tip - Mobius-Q
Mobius-Q is Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to the Defense Type Driver, Mobius. Despite its name, it bears little resemblance to Mobius. While Mobius featured a free spinning, conical sharp tip, Mobius-Q features a static cylindrical shape with a flat tip protruding from the center. Mobius-Q also suffers from low Burst Resistance, with a spring lock that is noticeably much weaker than other QuadDrive Drivers. Although classified as a "Defense Type" Driver, Mobius-Q acts as an Attack Type Driver due to the plastic flat tip.
Like all QuadDrive Drivers, Mobius-Q has two attachment points that can be used to attach an Armor Tip, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Mobius-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Driver.
Armor Tip - Rise
- Main article: Armor Tip - Rise
Hasbro's Rise is an Armor Tip version of the Rise Driver. Like other Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Drivers via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Driver, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Driver as the main contact point with the Beystadium. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Driver.
The Rise Armor Tip retains the same general shape of its Driver counterpart, featuring a sharp tip surrounded by a plate. Unlike the Driver, the Rise Armor Tip does not have a downward facing plate, and the sharp tip protrudes further.

Trivia
- This Beyblade's name and design is a reference to the distinctive Muramasa (村正) katana swords wielded by samurai. Muramasa katana swords were forged by swordsmiths belonging to the Muramasa school, which was founded by Sengo Muramasa (千子村正).
- During this Beyblade's development, it was referred to as Murasame (村雨) rather than Muramasa. The Katana Blade was also colored red rather than gold.
- Although the finalized development design depicts the Drive Chip with red eyes, the final product released by Hasbro has blue eyes instead.
- Katana Muramasa M7 is the third Beyblade to be samurai-themed, the first being the Hard Metal System Beyblade Samurai Changer MS from the Original Series, and the second being the Synchrome System Beyblade Samurai Ifrit W145CF from the Metal Series.
