Not to be confused with another yo-yo in the line of the same name, which had an auto-return and light-up feature.
The Super Dragon Ball (超速龍球), also known as the Super Dragon Deluxe, is a roller-bearing yo-yo produced for the Super Yo-Yo line of yo-yos. It is among the Professional level yo-yos in that line, and is also released as a Limited Edition along with the Super Aqua Dragon and Super Fire Dragon. It shares the same characteristics as the Super Fire Dragon.
It is a clone of the Yomega Hyper Warp, which features a flat modified shape, and a metal roller bearing for longer spin time.
Variations[]
Professional (Non-metallic Sticker)[]
The sticker on the front has a dark blue colored background, with a picture of Shunichi Domoto. The sticker on the back is colored blue, and has the word "超速龍球" written on it, along with the words "SUPER YO-YO" and "MAXIMUM SPIN". Both stickers are protected with clear plastic lens. It includes a small size K (4 x 8 x 3mm) bearing with spacers similar to those of the Yomega Hyper Warp. However, the body of the yo-yo is only loosely based on the Yomega Hyper Warp (the biggest giveaway being the presence of clear plastic lens, which the Hyper Warp didn't have, as well as the lack of screws inside the yo-yo), and is much, much lighter.
It is packaged already assembled in a typical early 2000's Yomega-style packaging, like most yo-yos in the Super Yo-Yo line.
Special Glow-in-the-dark Editions of this yo-yo also exist.
Criticism[]
- Because the gap between the yo-yo halves is too wide, it's very difficult to control the yo-yo when doing looping tricks. The gap width couldn't be adjusted either; Using thinner spacers would only introduce play between the nuts inside the yo-yo and the yo-yo body. Thus, this variation of the yo-yo is not a very good one.
Limited Edition (Gold Sticker)[]
The sticker on the front has the same picture of Shunichi Domoto, but this time the background is a shiny gold color. The sticker on the back also has a shiny gold color, but has a face of a dragon in the middle, and has the words "SUPER YO-YO" on the top, and "超速龍球" written on the bottom (an English version that mentions "Super Dragon Ball" exists). It includes a small size K (4 x 8 x 3mm) bearing just like the Professional version, but with spacers of a different shape than those used in the Yomega Hyper Warp. This time, the body of the yo-yo more resembles the Yomega Hyper Warp, only modified inside to accomodate the different spacers, and using a different type of plastic. It is also about the same weight as the Hyper Warp.
It is packaged with the two halves of the yo-yo disassembled, probably to make the presentation resemble the packaging of the Bandai Hyper Dragon line of yo-yos.
Limited Edition (Silver Sticker)[]
The stickers have a shiny silver color, the pose of Shunichi Domoto is different, and the back has a different illustration of a dragon. Aside from the sticker design, the bearing is a larger size A bearing, and has a different set of spacers. It is packaged in similar fashion to the Gold Sticker edition.
Both Limited Edition versions gained popularity among yo-yo players in China and Southeast Asia as a yo-yo with decent performance.
Trivia[]
- It is loosely named after the Bandai Hyper Dragon, a yo-yo that was featured in Super Yo-Yo.
