The Accel Origin (Japanese: アクセルオリジン) is a yo-yo released in Japan by Bandai in July 2024 as a launch product of the new Hyper Yo-Yo Accel line.
Features[]
The Accel Origin has a body shape similar to that of a Russell yo-yo from the '80s and '90s. It features a unique side cap bearing system called the "Accel System", which uses two large side caps called "Accel disks" that can rotate independently from the body of the yo-yo. Because of the large side caps, it is very easy to hold the yoyo horizontally on one of the side caps without having to balance it with your finger. It is also advertised as "the easiest yo-yo to perform the DNA trick with".
The yo-yo could spin for a long time thanks to its included three metal ball bearings. However, the thin gap between the yo-yo halves meant that looping and string tricks are very difficult to do (unless you replace the string with a thinner one), and the yo-yo is actually meant for children and beginners trying to learn how to do basic tricks or do the kinds of tricks that utilize the side cap bearings.
