The Darkhelm Face Bolt depicts "Hades", the Greek god of dead and the king of the underworld. In Greek mythology, Hades is the brother of Zeus (Jupiter) and Poseidon (Neptune). The design features a helmet-like design, with flames or smoke on the top and right side of the helmet.

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.

Fusion Wheel - Fusion

The Fusion 4D Metal Wheel is a three component design with a Metal Frame, Rubber Frame, and Core. The Rubber Frame is made of rubber, which is intended to Spin Steal and absorb impacts from other Beyblades. As with other 4D Metal Wheels, Fusion features a mode change gimmick. Its Metal Frame and its Rubber Frame lock in with a simple square teeth system, and the same mechanism is used for the Core. By switching the position of the two frames, Fusion can switch between "Balance Mode" and "Defense Mode". In Defense Mode, the Rubber Frame is positioned on top, allowing more rubber contact and shock absorption. In Balance Mode, the Metal Frame is on top, with the round shape helping Fusion keep balanced.

Metal Frame

  • Weight: 27.3 grams

The Metal Frame is shaped like a circle with 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 in. There are also two angled parts on each side of the Metal Frame which complete the shape of the shields on the Hades Energy Ring.

Rubber Frame

  • Weight: 4.6 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.

Core

  • Weight: 12.2 grams

The Core is a standard shape which has rectangular protrusions 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 in both modes.

Spin Track - Armor Defense 145

Main article: Spin Track - Armor Defense 145

Armor Defense 145 (AD145) is shaped like the head of a funnel, being primarily circular with two curved protrusions that line down in order to act as "armor". There are also two smaller protrusions between it, creating gaps. Like Gravity, even though Armor Defense 145 was intended for Defense Type combinations, it was overshadowed by Spin Tracks like GB145 and 230 as it cannot absorb hits as efficiently and is too light. However, due to this, Armor Defense 145 has found use as a top-tier Spin Track for Stamina combinations because of its unique design.

Performance Tip - Sharp Wide Defense

Main article: Performance Tip - Sharp Wide Defense

Sharp Wide Defense is a Balance-oriented Performance Tip first released with Fusion Hades and is an upgraded version of Defense Sharp (DS). As its name states, SWD consists of WD fused with S. While it retains the same appearance as WD, it has a hole at it's bottom. The hole reveals the Sharp Tip protruding upwards. This is similar in manner to DS, abeit SWD's surrounding ring is wider. SWD also bears an uncanny resemblance to EWD, minus the free-spinning bearing. This release of SWD is translucent red in color.

In terms of overall performance, SWD is a rather good Performance Tip for Stamina Combinations, as it does well on combos that use Fusion Wheels such as Scythe, Phantom, and Duo, although failing on certain combos; especially against combos that use WD, as well as on combos using Performance Tips of tall-height like TH170. It is also viable to scrapes on BD145, similar to WD and EDS, but appears equal to WD on other occasions.

Trivia

  • In Roman mythology, Hades' counterpart was Pluto. This is quite fitting, as Fusion Hades' owner is named Pluto.
  • Prior to Fusion Hades' release, the Hell Metal Wheel was renamed to "Hades" in the English dub. This is likely the reason why "Hades" was renamed to "Darkhelm" in the English dub of the anime.
    • Furthermore, the word "Fusion" was used in the English name for the part category "Metal Wheel"; thus making a "Fusion" "Fusion Wheel" too confusing. The "Fusion" "4D Metal Wheel" was subsequently renamed to the "Firefuse" "Fusion Wheel".
  • Fusion Hades is one of two Beyblades (the other being Cosmic Pegasus F:D) to have a 4D Metal Wheel that is made up of three components.
  • Fusion Hades is the second Beyblade of the 4D System released with 7 total components, with Big Bang Pegasis 125SF being the first.
  • Fusion is the only 4D Metal Wheel with a Rubber Frame.
  • Fusion Hades' Spirit was never shown in the anime.
  • Unlike most Random Booster Prize Beys, this Bey does not have a printed facebolt.
