—Samuru firing his B-Daman's "Tornado String/Spiral Attack" super shot. | ||
Lightning Dravise (Japanese: レブ=ドラヴァイス, Rebu=Doravaisu, Rev=Dravise) is a Rapid-Fire Type Core Change System B-Daman. It was first released in Japan on October 2, 2011, and will be released internationally on August 1, 2013.
In the anime, it is owned by Samuru Shigane and is one of the five Legendary Dragons. As of Cross Fight B-Daman eS, it was upgraded to the Emblem Charge System in the form of Sonic=Dravise.
Body Set: Dravise
Head Part
With a dragon-inspired design, this Head Part appears as a dragon head wearing a helmet. The helmet extends left and right, carrying an upward slope as well. A horn sits atop the helmet, raised and curved in order to better handle one's grip to the B-Daman. Two spiked straps stick to the B-Daman's face, ending the helmet. Its dragon face offers anime-like violet eyes with a black pupil and white eye-lids. The impression of a chin is also left, slightly curved.
Arm Parts
Designed with bulky shoulder-pads featured with holes for the Stud Parts to go through, two curved blades protrude from their respective arm. The arms end with a large armoured fist and three claws on each.
Stud Parts
Lightning Dravise has solid blue Stud Parts.
Leg Parts
These feet are teeming with spikes and bumps with the addition of several curves and minor slopes. Two designated areas of this piece are translucent and the feet also feature two "toes". On the bottom of this Leg Part are two hollow spaces for a pair of rollers.
Core Part: Lightning: Rev
This Core Part has a set of four rollers in its firing mechanism, to smoothen out the shots of the rapidly-fired marbles. In addition, there are a pair of cylindrical rollers at the back of the Core Part itself, which the trigger goes between when pushed to fire the marbles.
Other Versions
- Spin=Dravise: CB-00, WBMA campaign exclusive.
- Steer=Dravise: CB-29, turquoise Body with blue and yellow stickers and clear yellow Core.
- Metal Rev=Dravise: Advertised combo by Takara Tomy.
Overall
The effect of the rollers in the Leg Part is negligible, due to the holding spaces being too narrow for them to allow movement, along with the rollers being made of plastic, resulting in friction on the playing field floor on the Takara Tomy release. However, the rollers work better on the Leg Part of Smash Dragold, though. On the American release, Dravise's rollers work well. The Rev Core, with its rollers, makes it a good choice for Rapid Fire-Type customizations.
B-Daman Crossfire (anime)
Lightning Dravise debuted in B-Daman Crossfire talking to Samuru Shigane about Riki Ryugasaki while Samuru was standing next to Riki's booth. Unknown to Riki that Lightning Dravise was the one talking, Samuru acted as if he heard nothing and walked away. Dravise and Samuru would be seen practicing in the secret WBMA facility and would release a stream of shots that would form the "Tornado String Shot" move.

- He is voiced by Ryota Takeuchi in Japanese and by Dave Mallow in English
