The Victory Tornado (勝利竜巻) is the signature Special Move of Dragoon V, featured in the Beyblade manga and anime series, as well as various video games.
Overview
It was first used on Daryl's Darylanzer.
The Victory Tornado first debuted in manga chapter 1 of "Bakuten Shoot Beyblade", when Tyson battles Ozuma and his Flash Leopard for position of the Bit-Beast, Wolborg, that had been captured moments before from Tala's Wolborg 2. In the ensuing Beybattle, Tyson draws upon Dragoon's power and unleashes the Victory Tornado, handily defeating Ozuma.
Description
The anime depict the Victory Tornado as a rapidly rotating vortex cloaking the Beyblade whilst rushing the enemy Beyblade.
The manga depicts the Beyblade generating a multiple-vortex tornado from high-speed rotation, enabling it to fend off multiple opponents.
The PlayStation game "Bakuten Shoot Beyblade 2002 - Beybattle Tournament 2" depicts the move similarly to the manga iteration, with the Beyblade generating a tornado that contains several subvortices rotating around, inside of, and as part of the main vortex.
Etymology
Though the Katakana "ビクトリートルネード" was used as the syllabary for the reading of the Special Move Kanji, using the proper Hiragana gives the name an altered transliteration:
Kanji | 勝利 | 竜巻 |
---|---|---|
Hiragana | しょうり | たつまき |
Transliteration | Shōri | Tatsumaki |
Literal translation | Victory | Tornado |
