Description
Tithi pilots this top through the Metal Fury anime and manga as a Balance Type build in the 4D System. Takara Tomy put it on sale in Japan on October 22nd, 2011, and Hasbro brought it west in 2014 under the Beyblade Legends toyline, succeeding Quetzalcoatl 90WF. Its stack pairs a bronze Quetzalcoatl Face Bolt and matching 4D Clear Wheel with the thick, two-layer Death 4D Metal Wheel, a 125 Spin Track and a Rubber Defense Flat tip. Death's Metal Frame and Core flip relative to each other, swapping a gap-heavy Attack Mode for a sealed, grinding Defense Mode.

In play and in the story
Community assessment treats Death as one of the strongest all-round Fusion Wheels of its era, competing on Attack, Defense and Stamina depending on mode, while RDF blends a wide rubber tip with a flat plastic edge for defensive grip and occasional aggressive bursts.

Community testing, Feb. 19, 2012 — summarised
The competitive view
Documents the 4D-system Beyblade Death Quetzalcoatl 125RDF: a Quetzalcoatl-themed Face and Clear Wheel, the mode-changing Death Metal Wheel (Metal Frame + Core), a mid-height 125 Track, and the hybrid rubber/plastic RDF Bottom, with commentary on why Death's Defense Mode became a top defensive choice of its era.
In Defense Mode, Death's smoother, sloped design gives it very low recoil, letting it grind down opponents' spin rather than absorb hits like Basalt; RDF combines a flat rubber contact with wide plastic support for both defensive stability and decent stamina, outperforming the older RS bottom it replaced.
Verdict as the draft gives it: Death in Defense Mode is rated a top-tier Defense Metal Wheel, arguably rivaling or besting Basalt on recoil alone; the article recommends every competitive blader own one, mainly for Death and RDF rather than Quetzalcoatl or 125.
- Clear Wheel: Quetzalcoatl - 2.6 grams, pale gold
- Metal Wheel: Death - 43.6 grams, one of the heaviest 4D Metal Wheels, no PC Frame (all-metal)
- Death Metal Frame flips between Attack Mode and Defense Mode; Core weight not listed
- Track: 125 - 1.0 gram
- Bottom: Rubber Defense Flat (RDF) - 1.1 grams
