There are lucky draws, and then there are kuji — the Japanese store-front lotteries where every ticket is a winner. Beyblade X's second outing with DMM, "BEYBLADE X DMM Kuji Vol. 2", opened at Japanese retail stores on Friday, October 23, 2026. At the heart of it sits a bey with no other way into Japan: UX-00 Booster BisonValor DB in a DMM original cyan-and-white colorway.
The format is where the charm starts. Each draw costs 770 yen, prizes run from A down to G, and because every ticket wins something, nobody leaves empty-handed. Then the two wildcard prizes do the real work. The LAST CHANCE prize is the collector's nightmare in the best way: the person who buys the final ticket of a store's run takes home UX-00 Booster BisonValor DB Metal Coat White, the cyan-and-blue metallic finish. One store, one last ticket, one winner. In a hobby built on luck, that is a finish line you can physically stand at.
The W CHANCE works slower and quieter. Every ticket carries a serial code; enter it online and you're in a draw where 30 winners receive both colorways as a set. The entry period closes January 31, 2027.
The bey deserves the fuss. BisonValor DB (バイソンバロー, roughly "Bison Valor") is a Stamina-type, right-spin beyblade with the product code UX-00 in the Unique Line. It runs on the Expand Blade gimmick: blade and ratchet are fused into one ratchet-integrated part, so there is no separate ratchet to swap. Its bit is DB, the Disk Ball stamina piece that debuted March 30, 2024 on WizardRod 5-70DB (UX-03): a ball tip with a wide floor-contact area that parks the bey in the center of the stadium, produces long spin times, and uses a lower ring to right itself after a knock-over. Stamina with a safety net.
Western fans already know the mold, just dressed differently. Hasbro released it as Valor Bison FB, product G3497, a Stamina-type right-spin Infinity Starter at 14.99 USD — Canada on May 12, 2026, Australia on June 24, 2026 — carrying the Free Ball bit instead of DB. The DMM version is the fuller configuration of the mold: the Disk Ball build, in Japan, in a colorway nobody else has. For a parts-first community, that is the whole point.
The rest of the lineup keeps the warm chaos of a good kuji: a green string launcher as the B prize, a tote bag, a slide storage case, custom rubber bands, clear files bundled with a bey battle pass sheet, and acrylic keychain-plus-sticker sets at the lower end.
Then there is the market. Import-store pre-orders priced the A-prize BisonValor near 80 USD and the Metal Coat White last-chance variant near 200 USD — against a 770 yen ticket, the gap between what you pay and what you chase is enormous. That gap is the Beyblade X prize economy in miniature. With four generations of Beyblade past 560 million units shipped in more than 80 countries, and Beyblade X alone past 40 million units as of September 2025, the premium side of the hobby — exclusive colorways, metal coats, one-of-a-kind finishes — was always going to grow. Kuji is where that energy gets physical.
If you spot the A prize on an import shop's pre-order list, it will age well. But the Metal Coat White? That is the one you tell stories about.
