About This Part

Orso is an Energy Ring built for the Hybrid Wheel System, debuting with Rock Orso D125B in the BB-51 Extreme BeyStadium set on October 24th, 2009. Weighing 3.1 grams, it splits into four sections: two shaped like bear claws that add recoil risk if they make contact, and two sloped, hexagon-textured sections resembling the Leone line that shield only part of the ring.

In Play

Its light weight, high recoil, uneven weight distribution and weak aerodynamics leave it outclassed for defence by rings such as Leone, Leone II and Lynx; the community holds that it should not see competitive play.

  • Debuted in the BB-51 Extreme BeyStadium set on October 24th, 2009.
  • Reissued in the BB-75 Beyblade Deck Entry Set as Rock Orso ED145D.
  • Reworked by Hasbro as Hyper Orso SW145JB in the B-116 Aqua Sword Strike 2-Pack.

The Competitive View

Its claw sections add unwanted recoil, and its sloped sections only cover part of the ring, giving weak, inconsistent defense compared to rounder Energy Rings.

Verdict as the draft gives it: Outclassed for defense by Leone, Leone II and Lynx; not recommended for competitive play even as a fallback.

  • Weight: 3 grams (lighter than many Spin Tracks)
  • Four-section design: two bear-claw protrusions, two hexagon-textured sloped sections

Related parts named in the draft: Leone, Leone II, Lynx.
