- "Burn Fireblaze's metal performance tip creates a lot of friction and resistance, giving it extra power. When Fireblaze uses Burning Firestrike, it causes a huge explosion upon impact."

Burn Fireblaze 135MS or Burn Phoenix 135MS (バーンフェニックス135MS, Bān Fenikkusu 135MS) is a Stamina Type Beyblade released as part of the Hybrid Wheel System. It was released by Takara Tomy in Japan on December 26, 2009 for 850円, and later by Hasbro in August 2010 to international audiences. It was also re-released by Hasbro in the Beyblade: Metal Masters and Beyblade Legends lines. It is owned by Phoenix / Ryusei.
Name Change[]
Hasbro modified Burn Phoenix’s name to Burn Fireblaze in its worldwide release, likely because "Burn Phoenix" was already copyrighted in North America.
Parts Overview[]
Face: Phoenix[]
- Weight: 1.7 grams
The Face depicts Phoenix, one of the 88 constellations in space. The words "Phoenix" were erased from inside the bird’s mouth on almost all of Hasbro’s Fireblaze Faces.
Clear Wheel: Phoenix[]
Wings of the phoenix generate a centrifugal force, while its mighty tail deflects attacks.
- Weight: 1.7 grams
The Face depicts Phoenix, one of the 88 constellations in space. The words "Phoenix" were erased from inside the bird’s mouth on almost all of Hasbro’s Fireblaze Faces.
Metal Wheel: Burn[]
This super stamina fusion wheel features a remarkably smooth surface.
- Weight: 31.51 grams
Burn is an almost completely circular Metal Wheel, interrupted only by two sets of wave-like ridges. The center of the Metal Wheel features a flame pattern representing the sun, which complements the Phoenix Clear Wheel. Burn's predominant characteristic is its weight distribution : the weight is concentrated on the edge of the Metal Wheel, while the center is generally hollow and light. This produces what is known as the Flywheel Effect, which is the ability for a rotating object to increase its rotational velocity with the use of its own momentum. The ridges are subject to some level of recoil, but are also capable of Smash Attack; however, the latter is not potent enough to be used effectively.
Burn was once the best Stamina Metal Wheel, along with Metal System Virgo. However, it has since been outclassed by newer Metal Wheels such as Scythe and Phantom, the latter sharing many characteristics with Burn itself.
IMPORTANT: Mold Variations[]
Burn has a total of four molds, three of them released by TAKARA-TOMY and one released by Hasbro. The TAKARA-TOMY molds have the phrase "Burn Wheel" engraved between each set of ridges while the Hasbro mold does not. Mold 1 is the lightest of the four molds and is usually the one preferred for Stamina customizations. The gaps on the underside of the Metal Wheel are lengthier on Mold 1 than on Mold 2, while Mold 3's are wider than Mold 2, but equal in length. The Hasbro mold is generally heavier because of the absence of engravings and thus preferred for Attack and Defense customizations, although those combinations have no prevalence. The Wave 3 version had "Burn Wheel" engraved on the side, while the Wave 5 version did not. Testing has shown that the Wave 3 wheel is superior.
Use in Stamina Customization[]
Although it is outclassed, Burn can still be used in decent Stamina combinations such as Burn Cancer AD145WD.
Track: 135[]
Relatively tall and ideal for smash attacks.
- Weight: 1.40 grams
135 is the only Track released at this height and features no gimmick. Due to its odd height, it is rarely considered over the taller 145 Tracks and the shorter 120 and 125 Tracks, because it is usually preferred if customizations are either tall or short, and not in between. Average height produces only average effect, a poor mix of what a Metal Wheel can do at short and tall heights.
Tip: MS (Metal Sharp)[]
Its metal axis provides remarkable stamina.
- Weight: 1.35 grams
Metal Sharp, as its name implies, is a Sharp tip made of metal, but it is also mounted on a taller base. Its small contact point produces very little friction on the surface of the Stadium floor, even less so than the average Sharp tip. While this quality is useful for Stamina-type Bottoms, Metal Sharp suffers from the same inherent faults as all Sharp Bottoms, namely the horrible balances issues, which are worsened by the taller height. As such, this part is outclassed.
It should be noted that, due to its namesake properties, Metal Sharp can be very damaging to the stadium floor, especially paired with M145, and should therefore be used with caution.
Anime[]
Beyblade: Metal Fusion[]
It first appeared in episode 33, whereit saved Gingka's beypointer from Tetsuya. After, Phoenix made Gingka battle him if he wanted his pointer back. Pegasus was defeated by Phoenix and Gingka's beypointer was destroyed.
Later, it battled Earth Eagle after rescuing Tsubasa and won.
After Gingka had developed his new special move, he used it to defeat Ryusei, who then gave him the 48,000 Beypoints that Gingka lost to him ,enough to enter Battle Bladers with a grand total of 95,000.
In episode 47, it battles Dark Wolf and seemed to be losing until Ryusei noticed the piece of Sagittario stuck in between Dark Wolf's blades. Ryusei attacked and stabbed the piece further into Dark Wolf, badly damaging it and winning the battle.
Beyblade: Metal Masters[]
It briefly appeared in episode 40 to defeat Thermal Lacerta, Rock Zurafa, Poison Virgo, Hyper Aquario, Flame Sagittario, Ray Striker, and Galaxy Pegasus all at once.
Special Attacks[]
- Burning Firestrike (Burning Explosion/Burning Tornado): Phoenix catches fire and attacks the opponent with enough heat power to melt metal.
In Combat[]
It was released in Wave 3. It is a Stamina Type Beyblade.

Overall[]
Burn Phoenix 135MS is comprised of outclassed parts. Phoenix, 135 and MS have never been particularly useful, and while Burn was once a top-tier Stamina Metal Wheel, it is obsolete in the face of the dominant Metal Wheels of today. This Beyblade should only be considered for collection purposes.
Trivia[]
- The name "Phoenix" was repurposed by Hasbro for the Synchrome System Beyblade, Thief Phoenix E230GCF.
- While the Wave 3 version had the words "Burn Wheel" engraved on the Fusion Wheel, it was absent in Wave 5.
- Its clear wheel is reminiscent to Sol Blaze's clear wheel design, noting the six dots on its solar flare design similar to Fireblaze's 6 hexagons on its wings.
- It is tied with Phantom Orion , Scythe Kronos and Earth Virgo for the highest Stamina Rating, with 16 stars.
