Yoyorecreation seems to be putting most of their energy into their Rebellion budget line these days with plenty of releases and videos to promote. Check out their latest run of promo videos, featuring Kento Muraoka.
Yoyo used is the Rebellion Gazer.
Invaders Must Die ft. Tatsuya Fujisaka
Yoyorecreation has announced a second bimetal yoyo for their “Rebellion” budget line, this one called “Invaders Must Die”. Seems like between “Start The Riot” and now this, the names for the Rebellion line are getting weirder and more awesome! And hey, another bimetal from Yoyorecreation doesn’t sound like a bad thing at all. Check it out in the hands of the always amazing Tatsuya Fujisaka.

Yusuke Otsuka – Start The Riot Test
Rebellion, the budget yoyo line from YoYoRecreation, has it’s first bi-metal yoyo releasing soon! Yusuke Otsuka runs it through a hella clean prelim run in this quick video. Yusuke took 5th Place at last year’s World YoYo Contest, so I think it’s safe to say that he knows a thing or two about making a yoyo look good.
No word on price or release date yet, but considering the pricing of the Rebellion line I think it’s safe to say we can expect this to come in under $100. Sweet!
YoYo Spotlight – Rebellion Butcher
Rebellion Butcher Specs:
Diameter: 55.03 mm
Width: 42.98 mm
Gap: 4.50 mm
Weight: 68 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pads
Bearing: Konkave Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
The Butcher is part of the first wave of releases from Rebellion, a budget line of yoyos created by Kengo Kido and Piotrek Smietana of YoYoRecreation.
PLAY
The Butcher is a budget-friendly aluminum yoyo, based slightly on the design of the YoYoRecreation Mr. Butcher. Featuring a slimmer profile than the rest of the Rebellion line, the Butcher is ideal for ultra-complicated 1A play that requires fast movement through a lot of string segments, or 3A play which is always helped by a slightly narrower yoyo. Fast, stable, and long spinning, the Butcher is also dead smooth, to the point that it’s hard to admit it’s a “budget” model. Considered among plays to be one of the best all-around players of the Rebellion line so far, the Butcher can handle all your tricks and more.
LOOKS
The fit and finish on all of the Rebellion models are excellent for a line of budget yoyos. Available in solid colors only, the Rebellion line is meant to be a solid value with a simple aesthetic. Packed in a stamped cardboard box, the Rebellion line features only a simple engraving with its name and the brand’s flag icon.. Simple and straightforward, this model is meant for players.
VALUE
The Rebellion Butcher retails for just $56, making it an amazing value for the serious player on a budget. With high quality manufacturing and great play value, the Butcher is unbelievably good and meets or exceeds the value of most other yoyos in this price range. The Butcher looks, plays, and holds up like a far more expensive yoyo, and should serve you well.

YoYo Spotlight – Rebellion Acro
Rebellion Acro Specs:
Diameter: 55.50 mm
Width: 45.17 mm
Gap: 4.50 mm
Weight: 67 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pads
Bearing: Konkave Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
The Acro is part of the first wave of releases from Rebellion, a new budget line of yoyos created by Kengo Kido and Piotrek Smietana of YoYoRecreation.
PLAY
The Acro is a budget-friendly aluminum yoyo, based slightly on the design of the YoYoRecreation Acrophobia. When you think of a budget model, “dead smooth” isn’t the first thing that comes to mind but the Rebellion Acro brings a smoothness that will leave you wondering just how they are able to sell this for such a low price. The full-sized body and wide profile make it easy to hit anything you’re trying on this yoyo, and it throws smooth and binds tight. It has a solid, quality feel and plays like a yoyo twice its price, and the inclusion of a Konkave bearing will make plenty of players happy. Fast on the string and long-spinning, the Acro is sure to become a contest favorite for players looking to get the most for their money. Excellent for 1A or 5A, although it may be too wide for most 3A players tastes.
LOOKS
The fit and finish on the Rebellion Acro light are excellent for a budget yoyo. Available in solid colors only, the Acro is meant to be a solid value with a simple aesthetic.

Rebellion by YoYoRecreation
We just got word that high-end Japanese yoyo brand YoYoRecreation has a new line of budget-friendly yoyos coming soon under the sub-brand, “Rebellion”. We contacted YoYoRecreation team member Piotrek Smietana for details and he had this to say:
Rebellion is a new brand powered by Yoyorecreation, in a reply for the needs of the market. A lot of people want to have Yoyorecreation yoyos but they simply can’t afford it, and thats where Rebellion comes in.
3 brand new yoyos will be released during JN – Acro, Butcher and Golyat. It will be a brand on which I will be working together with Kengo, combining his experience in Japan and mine in Europe.
Photos of the three models and the official statement from YoYoRecreation are below…once we get our samples we’ll post full specs and details. This is a huge step forward for YoYoRecreation…we’re looking forward to trying them out!
Butcher
6,480 JPY ($54 USD)
The unique rim shape of the Butcher provides excellent weight distribution and superb performance. This model is aimed at players who prefer an organic feel, and have a balanced play-style which demands all-round performance.
The first run will be available in matte green and matte black.
ACRO
5,980 JPY ($50 USD)
Despite its wide shape, the Acro is a very stable yo-yo. It really shines through when performing tricks such as hops which are aided by its width.
This first run will be available in red and black.
Golyat
5,480 JPY ($46 USD)
The Golyat has an over-sized shape, machined out of polyacetal resin. The resin has a naturally smooth texture, and the yo-yo plays exceptionally nimbly.
The first fun will be available in blue and black.
