Also what is the dragoon evolution line at the moment? is it neo evolves via synchronization into nova then something happens and it becomes Raijin?
does nova shatter and Raijin replace it?

With Vis, after the team tournament Zac got an offer as a beyblade scientist by the organization that the snake pit resides under. The catch, Vis has to agree to be the topic of the project. Vis went up against a snake pit blader who turned out to be Pilito and Iris Sonar shattered. That is where Muted Sonar comes into play.

Rykos doesn't lose his strength, its fragmented...or rather, his mind is. His actual persona still remains, but he's unstable sometimes and switches. This could potentially open rifts between him and his friends...which would be interesting, as they'd have no clue whatsoever.

To answer your question, Rykos claims he was going to the Arctic to reignite Nova, but on the way he tries to take an opportunity by testing his willpower. He fails to do so, but the end result works in Snake Pit's favor. Neo Dragoon is left over, while Raijin Dragoon is created to take its place. In doing this, Dragoon's "beast" is also fragmented, with both of the new personalities being one entity effectively to form "Draco."

Kind of a "I'm Spriggan" thing that Shu does in the manga (and what we glimpse in the anime recently), except a bit more severe due to the somewhat insane mindset the persona possesses. (Scratch that, Shu's gone nuts too, thinking about it)

Or...a more interesting thing IMO...Neo Dragoon evolves into Nova (as intended, where Rykos reaches the Arctic and successfully reignites the bey) but instead, Snake Pit interrupts the process to trigger a darker half of Dragoon to emerge. Along with Rykos' strong bond with Dragoon, it infects him as well, but the tie they have makes an entity with their worst traits combined. Neo is left as a husk while Raijin descends into "Draco"'s hands. The same bonds make the bey very in tune with its half-owner/owner.

idk...thinking about this makes it really interesting...lol

Repost of Rykos' profile, now updated.
Name: Rykos Azuki

- Rykos does use a string launcher when a tournament/format battle requires a "standard launch."

Layer: Nova Dragoon

An enhanced and original version of Neo Dragoon, Nova Dragoon is unlocked when Rykos fully masters Synchronization with Dragoon on a journey in the Arctic Circle. The layer is now filled with metal underneath the layer, but is only filled under the main contact points. The teeth are also barely taller now. The layer now has better slopes for destabilization, and becomes slightly more aggressive, having sharper points on the slopes.

Disk: 7

Frame: Inferno

A light, but nonetheless metal frame with an aggressive Meteor style design. Adds decent weight and is rounded for LAD.

Driver: Nova

The driver is now a R2F and also has a gear shaped "acceleration ridge" now. This allows for even greater acceleration, to the point where it nearly nullifies free-spinning techniques like Gripping Counter if fast enough, not always bursting or clicking them, but having a greater chance of KOing them.

Note: To counter the increased mass, longer increase in acceleration time, and launcher breakage, some techniques have been altered (Ex. Nova Storm can still accelerate at same rate via Nebula driver) and the launcher has been upgraded to a Neo Light Launcher by Iris and Oraiyun (thanks @[MWF] for the concept), having a longer ripcord, and bigger gear teeth to withstand the pressure applied to the launcher, but still provide great amounts of speed and launch strength. The launcher is also fused into a short, rotating grip, and allows for left or right handed launches, as well as having a beylogger integrated into the grip. This variant is known as the Neo Wing Launcher variant, and still uses the long winder equivalent of a ripcord. Alongside this, a weight can be moved from the launcher "grip" to the "head" of the launcher itself for stability or power respectively. The grip also has rubber on it to help with maintaining a proper grip during launches. Fyleon uses a similar variant in a verdant green and gunmetal grey color scheme that has scythes encircling the "launch countdown gem" and a string launcher setup rather than a ripcord set-up. Fyleon's variant is called the Neo Titan Launcher, and also has a weight shift, but with metal weighted grips instead of a rubber grip.

Techniques:
- Burst Impact: Rykos launches using his left hand to pull the ripcord, and with the greater strengh of his right arm, pulls the launcher body. The direction of the stadium allows Dragoon to swiftly begin its acceleration process, in contrast to right handed launches where it has to be launched a bit more precisely. This can also be used to trigger other technique, and is specifically a left-handed launch. He uses this technique in his second match against Vis, as he realizes the importance of a quicker acceleration that Dragoon needs to defeat opponents. He still uses a normal launch alongside the above launches, however, as this launch can be vulnerable to left-spinning beys.

Rykos also possesses another bey during his time as "Draco" in Project Draco (Snake Pit stuff because why not). In this state, his mental condition is worsened by a new persona forming within him (due to extreme training), as well as the fact that it possesses the worst traits of himself and Dragoon. As "Draco," Rykos owns Raijin Dragoon 9U. Zn (Zenith)
