To most fans, Valkyrie is the face of Beyblade Burst: the red-and-gold attacker that anchored Valt's story from day one. In Beyblade X, its life has been far weirder. For more than a year, the only way to own a metal Valkyrie was to win the app lottery — a 0.7% roll in the Rare Bey Get Battle. No character in the anime or manga actually runs one, and its only on-screen moment so far is a hologram prototype (plus a nod in a manga preview). On November 5, Takara Tomy finally does something about that.
The bey in question is ValkyrieVolt S4-70V, an Attack-type Custom Line combo priced in nostalgia. The Volt main blade is a three-sided smasher shaped after Burst's original Valkyrie layer. The Lock Chip is the metal Valkerion — 5.6 grams, about four grams heavier than a standard chip and the heaviest in the line, which is why tournaments limit it to one per deck. Around those sit a Slash assist blade, a 4-70 ratchet and the spiked Vortex bit, a flat tip that loves to chase the Xtreme Line. Altogether it is 49.9 grams of right-spin aggression built to land hard and often.
ValkyrieVolt debuted on July 17, 2025 as a Metal Coat: Gold prize in the Rare Bey Get Battle, the gacha inside Takara Tomy's official Beyblade X app. A roll costs 1,000 points, the exchange ticket drops 0.7% of the time, and the bey itself carries no cash price — you paid in patience. Japan and a handful of other Asian markets got it that way. Everyone else just watched, and the gold is still in the prize rotation as of this writing if you fancy a near-certain miss.
Valkyrie has been climbing toward a normal release ever since. Before ValkyrieVolt, the closest thing to a retail option was the X-Over VictoryValkyrie 2-60RA remake — but that one only shipped inside the ¥11,000 25th Anniversary Set. The real step forward came on July 11, 2026, when Valkyrie graduated: GloryValkyrie LF (UX-20) hit shelves as a full retail Starter for the first time.
Now the encore. The Gunmetal Version, announced in mid-October, keeps the metal lock chip and smash-heavy Volt blade under a darker colorway, and goes on sale November 5 for ¥1,800 — the same price as its app-limited stablemates — with Premium X members, Takara Tomy's ¥550 membership, getting first access. It is still a limited booster rather than a shelf staple. But it is the cheapest, most realistic way yet to own a Valkyrie in Beyblade X, and its Western name, Valkerion, was itself unveiled at the Beyblade X World Championship 2025 livestream. The line's most-wanted mascot is slowly turning into an ordinary product.
It is a funny thing to get excited about: a recolor of a lottery bey. But ValkyrieVolt's story says something real about where Beyblade X sits in 2026. The line is healthy enough to keep its rare releases genuinely rare — 0.7% odds and all — while still steering its icons toward actual shelves. The gap between "Rare Bey" and "regular bey" has never been smaller. If you have been waiting to own a Valkyrie without winning a digital raffle, November 5 is your day. Bring your points balance.
