About This Part
Genbu, or Genbull, sits atop a strongly circular base but is mostly hexagonal in outline, with two straight edges running down each side in a shape that recalls the Libra Wheel; at the very top a mostly flat edge holds the Crystal Wheel's orb, while a small turtle-head detail barely breaks the circular profile at the bottom. Its distal centre of gravity, above-average weight and fairly even distribution give it a smooth, rounded, well-balanced shape for a Warrior Wheel.
In Play
Genbu has built a strong competitive record in Stamina builds within the BB-10 Attack Type Beystadium as well as the ZeroG Attack Type Stadium, especially paired with a TB or CS Bottom running a TH170 or SR200 Track, and it holds up well in tall or mid-height Defense setups too, at times outperforming Reviser. Doubling it up as Genbu Genbu, or pairing it with Killerken or Reviser, pushes its Stamina and Defense further still, and against ZeroG-format Attack types its weight and shape make it a strong counter as either the top or bottom Synchrome wheel. As the bottom wheel it also anchors several top-tier Dragoon spin-equalizer combinations, though heavy recoil from below keeps it out of E230-based Defense builds.
