Grand Capricorne 145 D

Grand Capricorne is Klaus' beyblade. The beast inside of it is a goat.

Anime
It first was seen battling Chi-Yun's Thermal Lacereta and winning thanks to its defensive power, winning the match for Team Excalibur.

In episode 26, it was used in a practice match against the Grand Cetus but lost.

In preperation for the first match with Gan Gan Galaxy, Klaus lifted weights to power up his launching power, and it also seemed to give Capricorne more strength. In the next battle with Masamune and Striker, it appeared to be defeated when Striker's Lightning Sword Flash broke through its Steel Darkness, but it powered up and won the battle, although both Beyblade and Blader used up all of their strength.

In episode 38, it battled Evil Befall, but its powerful attacks could not affect Befall's Balance and Stamina. Befall's UW145 Spin Track caved into Capricorne's Fusion Wheel, making horizontal attack's useless. Befall was also able to stop aerial attacks. Klaus was eventuallt pushed past his limit, and Capricorne returned to full power, attacking with Steel Darkness, but was destroyed by Befall's Beautiful Death.

Game
It was released in Wave 6 in the Team Excalibur Set. It is a Defense type.

Face Bolt: Capricorne
Instead of being purple like the original Capricorn face, this version is black. It still features the same design as before however.

Energy Ring: Capricorne
This version of Capricorn is solid red, with the design of two goats' heads going in a circle. The goats no longer have the golden horns of the original Capricorn ring.

Fusion Wheel: Grand
Grand is a bigger, but lighter verison of Twisted. It features 6 blades that form a wall to defend against attackers. It is less effective then Twisted as a Defense and Stamina wheel, and is outclassed by Duo and Twisted.

Spin Track: 145
145 is the third tallest Spin Track, along with its counterparts C145, M145, etc. It was once useful in stamina customizations, but is outclassed by many other Spin Tracks, such as DF145 and AD145.

Performance Tip: Defense
Defense is the basic defensive Performance Tip. It is wider then SD, which makes it hard to knock down, but WD is better suited for this purpose. It provides little Stamina compared to SD and WD and usually seen as the worst of the three. However, D has found some competitive use with TH170 and 230 combinations, because it provides a longer wobble time then WD.

Trivia
