Mad Gasher CH120 SF

Mad Cancer CH120FS (マッドキャンサーCH120FS, Maddo Kyansā CH120FS) is a Balance Type Beyblade that appears in the Beyblade: Metal Fusion anime. It is owned by Tetsuya Watarigani. It is later further customized into Dark Gasher CH120FS. It was released by Takara Tomy as the prize Beyblade of the BB-31 Random Booster Light Vol. 1.

Facebolt: Gasher
The Face Bolt depicts "Cancer", the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Cancer is one of the 88 constellations in space, and is depicted as a crab. The word "cancer" is displayed above the crab motif.

Cancer was renamed to "Gasher" by Hasbro for its releases. Accordingly, the word "cancer" was removed from the design, and the crab motif enlarged. Several spheres were also added to the background.

Clear Wheel: Gasher
Gasher (or Cancer) is a round Energy Ring with a design representing crab claws. The slopes of the Energy Ring, and its heavy weight, give Gasher use in Defense Type combinations.

Lightwheel: Mad
Mad is the Light Wheel version of the Dark Fusion Wheel. The design is similar, but unlike Dark, which has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction, the twelve protrusions of Mad are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in a round shape. Such a shape hinders the Light Wheel in two ways: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient Smash Attack, while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient Stamina. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area.

Like other Light Wheels, Mad uses plastic instead of metal, reducing its weight significantly. As such, Mad is prone to breakage when used in battles and should be considered as a collector's item only.

Track: CH120 (Change Height)
Change Height 120 (CH120), as the name suggests, is a Spin Track with a height change gimmick. The height can be switched between 120 (12.0mm) and 145 (14.5mm) by pulling/pushing the central part out/in, and then rotating the bottom portion back to lock the height. Importantly, this can be done between each round of a match, as it does not involve any part-swapping.

The most obvious advantage is allowing the Blader to change the height of their Beyblade between rounds; this means that the Blader can adapt their strategy to counter their opponents during a match. In addition, Change Height 120 is the only Spin Track with the 120 height, which is useful in Attack Type combinations.

Tip: FS (Flat Spike)
Flat Spike (FS) or Flat Sharp, features a flat tip with a smaller, sharper spike tip in the center. As a result, when launched at a straight angle, the Beyblade spins on this spike tip, with very little movement. However, when the Beyblade is tilted, either from contact with an opposing Beyblade or from the launch, the Performance Tip moves in an offensive pattern. However, it suffers from the same problems as other Balance Type Performance Tips, in that the two qualities are compromised, resulting in mediocre performance in both fields.

Anime
Its debut was episode 5, where Benkei discovered Tetsuya, who was holding Gasher and petting some crabs. It was later used to destroy some unnamed beyblades, as well as Osamu's Wind Wolf. it defeated Flame Sagittario when Tetsuya threw a rock at it and knocked it down. In order to free Madoka, Gingka and Pegasus defeated it.

In episode 7, it battled Dark Bull and was defeated.

In episode 9, it battled Rock Leone and lost to Kyoya's new special move.

In episode 28, Tetsuya followed Yu back to the Dark Nebula's base, where later he joined the Dark Nebula. Doji used a special machine to evolve Mad Gasher into Dark Gasher.

In Battle Combat
It is unknown whether it will be released or not. It seems to have the same Spin Track and Performance Tip as Dark Gasher in the anime. Notable versions


 * Dark Gasher CH120FS - Hasbro release
 * Dark Cancer CH120SF - Takara Tomy Booster release with Semi-Flat instead of Flat-Spike

Overall
Mad Cancer CH120SF 's defining part is CH120, an exceptionally useful Track which can be used in a whole host of customization possibilities. While Mad and SF are relatively useless parts, CH120 makes this a more than worthwhile purchase. Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.
