Sprint Boost

Sprint Boost, called Runaway Shot in Japan, is a launch style Valt Aoi uses across several Beyblades and which manga character Lui Shirosagi also performs with his Lost Lúinor Nine Spiral. The Blader backs away from the stadium, hops forward with each number of a spoken countdown, and plants their feet at the stadium's edge for a running launch with added speed and power. When Valt closes his eyes while doing it, the anime labels the variant Blind Sprint Boost.
