The Victory Magnum was one of the V-machines that are made by Dr. Tsuchiya. It was made shortly before
the Seiba brothers lost their Sabers in a race against J and his Proto-Saber JB. Like its predecessor, it was a
speed-focused machine. Unlike Magnum Saber, it can produces downforces.
In both media, Go was very reluctant to use it initially, to the point that in the manga, he and Retsu tries to
returns the V-machines to Dr. Tsuchiya.
In the manga, the Seiba brothers were forced to enter the summer cup race by Tokichi. During the race, both
the V-machines are slower due to lacks to maintenances and were blown off of the circuit by the Proto-Saber's
air cannon. As both machine are about to fall onto the sea, it reminds the Seiba brothers of how their Sabers
met their demise and decided to save the V-machines in a selfless act. Having no choice but to use the V-
machines, the Seiba brothers maintains the machines and resume the race.
In the anime, few days before the Tokichi Cup, Go's father Kaizou has to go fishing and decided to bring his
youngest son along, while also secretly brought the Victory Magnum without Go's knowledge. Kaizou tell Go
that like the chun salmons, the Victory Magnum is a child left by the Magnum Saber. Realizing this, Go
decided to takes care of the Victory Magnum. During the Tokichi Cup, Go use the badly-aged Rev-Tuned
Motor that was used in Magnum Saber's debut race until it no longer works and swap it with the new motor to
continue the race.
It was later destroyed by one of the Ogami group's machines. In the manga, shortly after the chassis was fixed
with the ZMC putty, the body of the Victory Magnum got crushed by Gen Kondo's Brocken Gigant, while in
the anime, it got completely destroyed by Rei Hijikata's Ray Stinger. Both events leds to the creation
of Cyclone Magnum.
