Firefuse Darkhelm AD145 SWD

Fusion Hades AD145SWD (フュージョンハーデスAD145SWD, Fyūjon Hādesu AD145SWD) is a Balance Type Beyblade that appears in the Beyblade: Metal Fury anime. It was released in Random Booster Vol. 9 Fusion Hades on December 28, 2011 in Japan. It is owned by Pluto.

Face: Hades
The Hades Face Bolt depicts "Pluto", the Roman counterpart of Hades for which this Face Bolt is named after. In Roman Mythology, Pluto (Hades) was one of the twelve Olympians, specifically the God of The Underworld and eldest of his siblings, Jupiter (Zeus) and Neptune (Poseidon). The design of the Face Bolt features a blue, helmet-like design akin to Variares, although there are two sides, the one to the left in which the face of the helmet appears normal, and the one to the right, which appears damaged with cracks in it. There are also various purple flames around Hades' head, along with red eyes printed on a red background.

4D Clear Wheel

 * Weight: 3.20 grams

This Clear Wheel has generic long curves. Its main design trait is the two white shields on each side of the Face, and links made of armour separate each of them, as well as blue ribbons. There are also two big blue dots in the middle of each link. The Hades 4D Energy Ring is light purple, almost clear in color. It is a completely round Energy Ring and also contains iron fillings inside it, meant to increase its weight. It has various designs of Hades on it. It slightly resembles Hasbro's Pegasus III Energy Ring.

4D Metal Wheel: Fusion

 * Weight: 44.00 grams

Fusion is the first 4D Metal Wheel to include a full rubber part. Its Metal Frame and its Rubber Frame lock in with a simple square teeth system, and the same mechanism is used for the Core.

Metal Frame

 * Weight: 27.31 grams

It is shaped like a circle with only a few reliefs in the form of bumps on the circumference. In its center ridge, there are four rectangles cut into it, which allows the Metal Frame to slide into the Core and lock well without rattling. There are also two slightly angled parts on each side of the Metal Frame which seem to complete the shape of the shields on the Hades Clear Wheel.

Rubber Frame

 * Weight: 4.58 grams

Fusion's Rubber Frame has essentially the same shape as its Metal Frame. Its bumps slightly protrude from in between the Metal Frame's though.

In Defense Mode, the Rubber Frame is on top of the Metal Frame, which helps absorb the impacts from other Beyblades.

When in Balance Mode, the combination of the Rubber and Metal Frames is flipped to show the metal part on top. Its roundness helps keep balance, hence the name of the mode.

Core

 * Weight: 12.11 grams

Its Core is of a regular shape which has rectangular forms to help lock the Metal Frame and Rubber Frame onto it. This part is the only one from the Fusion 4D Metal Wheel that remains in the same position for the mode changes.

Track: AD145 (Armour Defense)

 * Weight: 2.8 grams

AD145 is shaped like the head of a funnel, completely round with ridges lining the sides all the way around. In fact, its shape is intended to resemble that of an armor, hence its name. Despite what the latter part of its name might suggest though, Tracks such as 230 and GB145 outclass AD145 as a defensive Track due to its relatively light weight in comparison to GB145 and its diminutive stature when compared to 230, which makes it unable it to absorb hits as 230 does. With the introduction of BD145, this Track has definitely been surpassed in Defense. However, AD145 has actually proved to be better suited for Stamina in certain cases, due to the outward weight distribution it has compared to other top tier Stamina Tracks, thus making it top-tier in this area. It is also the Track of choice for comparative Stamina testing.

Use in Stamina Customizations
AD145 can be used in the combo Phantom Aquario AD145WD/SD to create a top-tier Stamina-type Beyblade.

Tip: SWD (Sharp Wide Defense)

 * Weight: 0.82 grams

SWD has an odd shape: it's basically a small sharp tip encased in a straight, circular frame of plastic, leaving a hole between the tip and the frame. From the side, SWD looks like a large FS with a smaller tip.

Anime
It will appear in Beyblade: Metal Fury and battle Flash Sagittario.

In Combat
Fusion Hades will be released in Wave 9. It is a Balance Type.

Trivia

 * It is highly likely that its name will be changed, because Hades has already been used as the English name for the Hell wheel, and it would be confusing to have a Fusion Wheel called Fusion.
 * Fusion Hades has the most parts of any Beyblade, with seven.
 * Just him and Big Bang Pegasus have the fusion wheel made by three parts.
 * In Roman mythology, Hades' counterpart was Pluto. This is quite fitting, as Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm' owner is named Pluto.
 * The flames surrounding Hades/Darkhelm's Face Bolt motif bear somewhat of a resemblance to the flames at the top of Orion's motif.
 * The evil-like design of Hades/Darkhelm's motif may be a reference to the popular belief that in Greek mythology, Hades was an evil-like figure. In reality, even though Pluto was God of the Dead; he was not evil.
 * Also, Hades/Darkhelm's motif is possibly meant to emulate Hades' Helm of Darkness, a helmet that was given to Hades by the Cyclops to battle The Titans with. Its purpose was to make the wearer invisible. Hades later gave the helm to Perseus, which oddly is the Bey that Hades has the spintrack of.
 * Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm is the second Bey to have the AD145 Track, following Gravity Destroyer AD145WD.
 * Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm is one of two Beyblades (the other being Cosmic Pegasus F:D) in which it's 4D Fusion Wheel is made up of three parts.
 * Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm is actually the second 4D Beyblade released with 7 parts. Big Bang Pegasis 125SF Blue Wing Ver. is in fact the first.
 * Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm is the only 4D System Bey with a Rubber Frame.
 * Many 4D prize beyblades have printed faces, but Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm is one of the only that doesn't.
 * It is used by Pluto to hold off Dynamis and his Jade Jupiter from stopping Proto Nemesis' evolution in that episode. but since then it never appeared after Diablo Nemesis X:D was created. It then appeared again to hold off Flash Saggitario from creating Zeus's Barrier with the other Beyblades of the Four Seasons.
 * Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm's beast was never shown in the anime.
 * Fusion Hades/Firefuse Darkhelm is the first right-spin beyblade with rubber on the metal wheel.
 * Unlike most Random Booster Prize Beys, this Bey does not have a printed facebolt.
 * It is unknown if Hasbro will make a hyperblade version of Fusion Hades
 * In balance mode if you look good at the clear wheel and fusion wheel it resembles Hades with a crown.
