Ok, What's scarier.

The Hasbro techincally predicted this release by making Knife Shinobi, a defense type, with with the same color palette.

Or that MS is BACK!!!
Hasbro releasing an exclusive pre-evo to a tt bey is quite interesting. It'd be funny if we saw knife shinobi in the anime or manga, but I'm not counting on it.

As for Shinobi Shadow itself... what the hell is this bey.
The blade looks good, no complaints there. But 1-80 Metal Needle? In colors similar to Rhino Horns parts? Owned by Quinn Manju who is heavily themed around lions? Huh??
I wouldn't mind MN if it were like wedge, but nope its like MS from metal fight (a very bad tip for the stadium), so that's a bit of a yikes.
I really like the idea of ​​an unbalanced Ratchet for a defense type, but MN is scary (hope it won't scratch the stadium).
I don't know, but I feel like that Shinobi Shadow 1-80MN (Metal Needle) is a evolution or UX variant version of Knife Shinobi 4-80HN (High Needle), don't you think?

NoNotYou literally already said that... 
But ShinobiShadow looks pretty cool personally I prefer the black the most tho. Metal Needle I'm bot a fan of tho.
I admit that I'm quite disappointed that this didn't turn out to be a UX Knight evolution, but I do like the way this one looks. The blade design feels quite fluent and clean, and I've always been a huge sucker for the blueish green + purple type of colour scheme. The only thing I find a bit weird is the yellowish green bit, it should've just been a bluer green.

As for the rest, Metal Needle was something that had to happen but I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll be decent, as it doesn't seem as steep as MS from Metal Fight Beyblade. It might also help for the X stadium. I'm more surprised that this came before a Rubber Flat bit.

1-80 is weird to be honest, like Ratchet pairings haven't always been matching to be fair, but I would've rather a 9 ratchet for better synergy and because 9 is a solid ratchet.

I will likely buy this bey just to get more UX stuff, and to get the first UX defense type.

As most others have pointed out, it is funny how Hasbro sorta released a predecessor to this bey, at least judging by the colour scheme and the Beyblade type Knife Shinobi was.

"DODGING SPECIALIST: By combing a smooth Blade and a highly stable Bit, it specializes in slipping away from opposing attacks."

Oh this thing's gonna be straight cheeks, I fear.
Banned metal needle because like just burn fireblaze ruin stadium in metal fight in past
I know this is going to be hard to believe but as an English speaker who legitimately learned the Japanese language, I can tell you guys for sure that the correct pronunciation of the "Shinobi" part of Shinobi Shadow is pronounced the same as the English phrase of "she know bee". Same applies to the "Shinobi" part of Knife Shinobi.

You can also go in accordance with this video for how to pronounce the "Shinobi" part of Shinobi Shadow and therefore, also the "Shinobi" part of Knife Shinobi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2ghD6PInkY

If you still don't believe this, you can ask a native Japanese speaker if they're okay with verifying or debunking the accuracy of this reply.
You are correct i think bro

Yo Shinobi Shadow looks sick
the next bey should be like a bull that’s A balanced type and it has like a low bit lets say gear point but lower
What do you think
Don’t really think shinobi shadow will be as good as like wizard rod or hells hammer 🔨
Defence type beys are not really the best because they are mostly in the centre

Well Shinobi is straight romaji, so for there to not be a weird pronunciation(to someone that speaks English, that is.) isn't much of a surprise.
Here is a video on Shinobi Shadow 1-80MN at the near end part:

Why can’t we just forbid the user to not force the launcher downwards when competing? Instead we can allow the user to only launch low, or at the normal height. Whichever is preferred.

Well what about free play stadiums? Can’t be everywhere at once. And who says breakage only happens when it’s chucked into the stadium?

I feel like the safe option here would be to have organizers report stadium damage caused directly by MN and then determine if it should be banned or not. That way there won’t be a case of a harmless bit being banned because of a similar part, nor a bit terrorizing stadiums for who knows how long before being delt with.

I agree on the ending, but the for the beginning I’d like to say that every veteran/older format player saw that it did serious damage only when it was chucked in the stadium. Only normal launches had a slight chance to damage the stadium probably.
I guess I have two questions to ask, how does the shape of MN compare to the shape of Wedge or the stamina mode of Quatro. Were either of those two drivers banned because they damaged stadiums?

They're not very sharp, they're like D from mfb or Survive from Burst. But the stamina mode of Qauttro did leave a dent in my stadium.
I pre ordered then all and I really hope they are good!
I'm struggle-busin to find a good combo lmao
We did some playtesting with it. It seems to be a viable option against an aggressive matchup. We tried out some combos too!

hey, is it just me or does shinobi shadow has 2 flat blades and a round one?

Cause I've seen in many videos that the two "bottom blades" of Shinobi Shadow have a flat section while the "top one" is fully round.
