Description
Dravise is the name of the B-Daman partner belonging to the skilled B-Shot Samuru Shigami in the anime B-Daman Fireblast. Specifically, Samuru wields the advanced model Sonic Dravise, which is the rapid-fire type successor and evolution of his previous B-Daman, Lightning Dravise. The B-Daman itself is depicted as a sentient partner with its own distinct mannerisms.
Dravise's background is intertwined with Samuru's journey as a top-tier competitor. Samuru, known as the top B-Shot in the West Block, initially possessed Lightning Dravise before upgrading to the more powerful Sonic Dravise form to face new challenges in the Fireblast series. The Sonic Dravise unit is part of the Emblem Charge System, a new type of B-Daman technology introduced in this season.
The personality of Dravise contrasts sharply with its human partner. While Samuru is characterized as cool, reserved, proud, and sharp-minded, Dravise is notably more talkative and expressive. This dynamic often leads to Samuru silencing his B-Daman's chatter, highlighting a comedic yet deeply bonded partnership. Despite Samuru's aloof exterior, he loves B-Daman in his heart, which reflects his genuine care for Dravise.
The primary motivation for both Samuru and Dravise is to test their strength against worthy rivals and to prove their abilities as the best B-Daman team. Samuru initially senses a unique power in the protagonist Kamon Godai, and while he thinks little of him at first, he eventually comes to consider Kamon a serious rival. The team's power is demonstrated early in Fireblast when Samuru uses Sonic Dravise to easily defeat the challenger Mitsuru Hachisuka shortly after debuting the new B-Daman.
In the story of B-Daman Fireblast, Samuru and Dravise serve as major supporting characters and powerful allies. Samuru returns as an established champion whose new B-Daman, Sonic Dravise, is showcased from the very first episode. He functions as a measuring stick for the new generation of B-Shots, representing the high level of skill that characters like Kamon aspire to reach. Samuru’s backstory reveals that his family moved frequently due to his father's work as an archaeologist, which prevented him from making long-term friends and explains his initially standoffish demeanor. However, through his relationships with the other main characters, his personality becomes more friendly and he begins to smile more often as the series progresses.
Key relationships include his bond with his B-Daman partner, Dravise, which is one of mutual reliance in battle. His most significant human relationship is his rivalry with Kamon Godai. While Samuru is initially impressed by Kakeru Ryugasaki (the protagonist of the previous series, B-Daman CrossFire) for similar reasons, his focus shifts to Kamon as a rival in Fireblast.
A notable ability of Sonic Dravise is its specialized Emblem Charge Shot, a powerful technique called the "Speed of Sound Hurricane," which Samuru uses to demonstrate his overwhelming power early in the series. The B-Daman is a Rapid-Fire Type, designed for high-speed shooting similar to a machine gun. To control this naturally low accuracy, the Head Part can be pushed forward to activate "Sonic Mode," which allows for more precise aiming and prevents the B-Daman from going out of control during rapid-fire sequences. Furthermore, its Leg Parts are designed to accommodate B-Dama that act as rollers, giving the B-Daman enhanced mobility to slide side-to-side, forward, and backward.
