Okay so Ace Dragon looks really cool, and there seems to be three outer layered parts for it, what's that about? And St is the disk? Well it's about time double letters were used for disks too. Ch is probably Change if I had to speculate.

Valkyrie looks nice but admittedly it feels a bit too sameish now. Bl, again same at my thoughts about St. Pw, no doubt it will be Power.

Like I said earlier, that's pretty much the one and only picture of the box with me right now. But I'm pretty sure his name is Dan or something like that. Why? Because Takara Tomy already confirmed in one of their earlier posts about Beyblade burst GT/Gachi that there's gonna be this new main character "Ban" (according to google translate lol so just replace the "b" with a "d" I guess??) with his Dragon beyblade. And also, I've also noticed that there's a Japanese symbol right next to Valkyrie's new "Pw" driver too. I don't know much about this mostly because this is something new what Takara Tomy is trying to do here and I've never seen them do like this (add a Japanese symbol next to the driver's names) especially when you look at their previous entry sets. Maybe there's gonna be some kind of old engine gear inside the driver which is why they possibly use this symbol in order to prevent confusion when it comes to old normal drivers?? That's just my guess but who knows? Anything could happen in this world, y'know!

(Don't get me banned for piracy here, I never wanted to leak it in the first place but since there's some other Japanese guy who already got it leaked before any of my friends or even me, I thought it'd be nice to show it to all of you just in case.)

What about 6? What about 1? What about if we get something with something other than hexagons? There's a bit of possibility here if they grasp it. Even then I feel like the heaviest balanced layer weight is gonna be the one that eventually falls into favor.

It brings into question what parts will be limited in the deck finals though. I can see limiting layer bases and layer chips to avoid duplicates, but that doesn't quite work with only 2 known types of layer weight. We'd need a 3rd kind of layer weight to make that work out.

We have seen a third, its the 天 LW thats on Cosmo Valkyrie (which appears 4-studded btw). I think its possible that 天 will come with Bushin Asura, since 天 is not advertised as new on the RB15 box, and neither Ace Dragon nor Slash Valkyrie come with it. So I don't think there will need to worry about deck format, the usual "don't repeat parts" ruling should apply to the GT Layers just like it does everywhere else.

I wasn't aware of that 4-studded one existing, probably because I haven't taken a look back at that random booster in a while or thought about that. Still thinking that this 4-stud one is the go-to right now just on principle of likely being heavier than the 2-studded one (which is the one we got from Driger Fang) and the 3 studded one (which is also probably gonna be off-balance).

Now we just wait for Hades' successor so we can get our 6-studded Hexaweight layer weight and rule over all the others.
