This could’ve never been possible without his help….!!! Anywho I’ve been dreaming about a capped yo-yo with anime inspired engravings on it, since I feel like there’s a lack of anime in yo-yos 🥲 So I thought why don’t I make something instead of waiting for someone to make it instead. So for specs 55mm Diameter 54mm Width 4.6mm gap 10mm axle 7068 Body and Cap Grade 2 to rims Definitely bigger but who cares right?? I have Kaiga Marine working the graphic that’s going to be on the caps! Here’s a rough sketch ![Untitled1428_20231024151918](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/9/1/e916668611214fefe0c6505f31eb180d2744624c.jpeg) Anywho please do leave any thoughts you have! ---

This is just for the first one, I’m planning that later yo-yos will have a more general anime design or refernce other anime Reason I went with Genshin is, well it’s something I wanted to see happen and thought it would be funny 😁 ---
