B-Daman Wiki

Cobalt Sword (Japanese: コバルトソード, Kobarutosōdo) is a Power-Type DHB System B-Daman and the first-ever release in the Battle B-Daman franchise, which started in Japan on March 21st, 2002, and it sold for 880円. It also had an early release in the 2002 Winter World Hobby Fair on January 26th, 2002.

It is associated with Battle B-Daman main character Daiwa Yamato, being his first B-Daman in the Battle B-Daman manga. Cobalt sword is also referred to as the "younger brother" of Cobalt Geist, the B-Daman that Enjyu would later customize into Shred Kaiser.

Cobalt Sword was succeeded in its lineage by Cobalt Blade, Cobalt Saber, Cobalt Saber Fire, Cobalt Blaster, and finally Cobalt Blaster Drive Cannon.

Parts Overview[]

Head[]

Cobalt Sword's Head features a semi-translucent green canopy with a cyan crest with gradient yellow/orange/red flames on it, along with a large, blade-like horn extending from it. That horn is the predecessor of the Cobalt Power Blade.

Armor[]

The Armor is blue with a white sticker and a smaller red one at the front, in addition with even smaller white stickers along with flame stickers on the sides.

Arms[]

Each Arm is blue with a small white sticker on the forehand, along with a flat head screw design on the elbow. Also, the shoulder area is spiking backwards, as well.

Bottom[]

The Bottom parts consist of two blue legs with mechanical-looking designs with prominent feet.

Trigger[]

Cobalt Sword has a red Trigger with a blue base that has two wings pointing downwards.

Core Part[]

The Core Part is basic at best, featuring two Hold Parts, much like the skeletons in the later Zero System. It has a red ejection port, over which you can attach a DHB Attack Point.

Legend Stone[]

Cobalt Blade's Legend Stone features the green, cartoonish cat logo seen on Yamato's vest against a yellow background.

Battle B-Daman (Manga)[]

Yamato owned Cobalt Sword prior to the plot in the Manga. It was shown that it was taken away by a gigantic bird right at the beginning, before he took it back.

Cobalt Sword lasted until past the quarterfinals of the Winners Tournament. It was broken due to Yamato exerting too much force onto it while trying to do a squeeze attack against a mind-controlled Liena to save her. It was then succeeded by Cobalt Blade for the remaining matches.

Trivia[]

  • Chuang Yi's translations made a mistake right at the beginning of the series, calling this B-Daman Cobalt Blade instead due to the fact most of the country outside Japan were only exposed to the tv-animation version. Unlike Japan, the manga were released by Shogakukan in CoroCoro Magazine along with Takara already had the production of Cobalt Sword to the Battle B-Daman toyline before it's gain popularity to the tv-animation ver.
  • Most of the early Takara Battle B-Daman toyline like Cobalt Sword had small SHOPRO decal on their packaging due to licensing and merchandising properties owned by Shogakukan.Inc. The copyright to Battle B-Daman at that time is Inuki Eiji, Shogakukan, and finally Takara.
  • The core body design of the DHB system is directly based on the last Super B-Daman System, the E-Unit System. Some of Takara catalogs reference the DHB System B-Daman under the name "Battle Unit".
