Roar Bahamut Karma Metal Drift-6 (ロアバハムート・カルマ・メタルドリフト-6, Roa Bahamūto Karuma Metaru Dorifuto-6) is a Defense Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It was released as apart of the Beyblade Dynamite Battle All-in-One Set in Japan in October 2nd, 2021 for 6050円.

DB Core - Bahamut

Main article: DB Core - Bahamut

Takara Tomy's Bahamut is a left-spin DB Core that features a dragonic head representing the DB Core's namesake, Bahamut, a monster from Arabic folklore. Bahamut has high Burst Resistance due to its gimmick: Bahamut features a slope instead of Locks, akin to Hasbro Layers, and a "Rubber Lock". The Rubber Lock gimmick consists of two rubber protrusions on either side, as well as in the center of the DB Core. The friction caused by the rubber protrusions creates resistance, making it more difficult for a Bahamut combination to Burst. Although Bahamut does not have the "BU Lock" gimmick, the rubber protrusions interact with the raised protrusions on the Disc tabs of the two BU Lock compatible DB Discs, Xanthus and Moon. This results in increased Burst Resistance that makes a Bahamut combination very difficult to Burst.

As Bahamut has the highest Burst Resistance of all left-spin DB Cores, it is recommended in any left-spin combination, alongside the Longinus DB Core. Bahamut should be used when Burst Resistance is being prioritized over the weight that Longinus provides.

Blade - Roar

Main article: Blade - Roar (Takara Tomy)

Takara Tomy's Roar is a left-spin Defense Type Blade with a gimmick similar to its predecessors in the "Bahamut" Layer line. As the Roar combination begins to lose "clicks" and progresses through the Lock towards Bursting, two protrusions are pushed outwards, changing Roar's initial elliptical shape into a rounder circular shape. In practice, the useful circular shape cannot be consistently used. Despite its Defense Type classification, Roar does not perform particularly well in Defense combinations, instead being used in Stamina combinations. Roar has generally worse Same-Spin Stamina than Vanish, with moderate Opposite-Spin Stamina performance. Roar is best used on wide Opposite-Spin Stamina Drivers such as Drift.

Armor - 6

Main article: Armor - 6
The 6 Armor disperses the Beyblade's center of gravity outwards and evenly at six points, strengthening the Beyblade's centrifugal force.
— Official Description

Takara Tomy's 6 is an Armor with six square protrusions and small nubs between each. The design has an even weight distribution at six points to increase Stamina.

Forge Disc - Karma

Main article: Forge Disc - Karma

Karma is a DB Disc with ten upward sloping blades along its perimeter, meant to create Upper Force in left-spin and Down Force in right-spin. It is essentially the DB Disc version of Nine. In theory, the blades increase the grip of the Beyblade on the Stadium floor with Down Force and decrease the friction between the Beyblade and the Stadium floor with Upper Force. In practice however, the effect is negligible and the blades reduce the Life-After-Death (LAD) of Karma. Due to its shape and weight distribution, Karma works best in Attack combinations.

Performance Tip - Metal Drift

Main article: Performance Tip - Metal Drift

Metal Drift is a wide, round Performance Tip with an octagonal shape and a low angled, free spinning, conical sharp tip. It is the Metal Lock Driver version of the Drift Performance Tip, featuring a Metal Lock and a stronger spring, increasing weight and Burst Resistance. The Metal Lock has shorter tabs than standard and Dash Locks, resulting in lower Burst Resistance, despite the stronger spring.

The sharp tip of Metal Drift creates low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina and Burst Defense. In addition, the wide diameter of the free spinning sharp tip helps maintain stability. These factors, combined with the overall round shape of Metal Drift, creates high Life-After-Death (LAD), and works particularly well against Opposite-Spin opponents.
