any contact could give its opponents some way to defeat it post-first-burst.

yes, in absolute terms.

however in practical terms, smaller and fewer contact points means less burst risk and high defense 

just because it’s not a perfect circle doesn’t mean the sub-layer defense is not extremely high

it still looks very round and whatever contact points it has look very small, but that’s just my ***wild*** speculation

So is Friction confirmed to be POM surrounded by Rubber?

Yes, it is. It has been confirmed by the description given by CoroCoro...

My thoughts on it is that the rubber is practically useless due to the fact that it is not going to touch the stadium a lot...

They will release Revive Phoenix Silver wing Ver. and Launcher Grip Phoenix Color Ver. at WHF.

Phoenix Blader name is Phai

Its kind of like the normal rP is a phoenix whereas the silver one is the dark phoenix

my tame speculation is the rubber surround is to aid in knock out resistance.  at first look a round POM tip with a rubber surround is extremely interesting.  i love the current POM drivers but in super-z they are more risky.

Gold wing Ver.

Dmn that bey...Dmn that blader Phai...he seems to be more intimidating...more that shou...

Phoenix Blader name is Phai

Okay.. I did not see this coming. No way I thought that Phai will be the owner of rP. But I am glad it went this way! Gotta see how it goes with this character, with rP, he has gotta be an OP character.

Why was Shu happy?

Spoiler (Click to View)

Because Wakiya 4 glaive (forgave) him.

Interesting, so he is the Phoenix owner? Probably shouldn't be surprised considering he took a good chunk of the poster.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.

I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again

Am I the only one who already expected Phai to be the owner of rP? Haha

Eh, I will think of something to put here...

... later ;)

I think think you used the same source as me.

What I meant was that even before it was revealed, I was already guessing Phai might be the owner of rP.

It doesn't mean I already knew it was going to be him, it means I was already expecting it to be him.

That's the same with me. I had a dream of this guy with Revive Phoenix. (in the anime)

Count me in too.

 THE   Beyblader   from   ODISHA 

Mark my words, this guy will be the new most OP character.

well,rP is the july starter afterall (July starters are always the Semi-Boss of the season,e.g: Xeno Xcalibur and Legend Spriggan)

That rP silver recolour is gorgeous! They're not holding anything back in regards to this bey. I'm happy, but my wallet will be weeping between all the excellent June and July releases, pfft.

I'd say he'd probably be the strongest character that isn't any of the Veteran bladers like Valt or Lui to date. I see this kind of like how Xeno Xcalibur is incredibly strong, but it weaker than Shu and Storm Spriggan for example. Or how Legend Spriggan was really strong but weaker than Free with Drain Fafnir. I see Phai being stronger than most of the other Super Z characters, but not Lui or Valt.

I don't know why, But I have a feeling that he will be stronger that Valt and Lui, It's just something about him.

I'd expect that Valt be unbeatable throughout the series until Aiga gets to him first, then again there was Free.
