Bakugan Battle Brawlers is the story of six children who find Bakugan, which are these spherical toy-like things that transform into Mons, and must save the Bakugan's world, Vestroia. Some of these have their own spirits and are able to speak—all of the main characters, and most of the supporting cast, have one of these.All and all, Bakugan could be seen as a combination of many different popular series. It is in varying parts reminiscent of Digimon (the whole "save both worlds" thing— it probably skews closest to Tamers in concept if not in tone), Yu-Gi-Oh! (the sentient Bakugan are somewhat like the spirit monsters in GX, and the game is played with cards), Pokémon (in that Pokémon was one of the first "mon" series and this series features battling monsters contained in spherical devices), and Beyblade (Merchandise-Driven). There is one notable difference from these series, and that is that the non-human characters are able to talk while in ball form. (Go ahead, there's no instance where a Pokémon ever talks to its trainer while inside a Poké Ball.)The rules are hard to pin point, since they were never fully explained and change whenever necessary, similar to the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Best to just leave it alone.Was followed by a sequel series, Bakugan: New Vestroia set a few years after the end of Battle Brawlers, followed by a third series, Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders, which was then followed by Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge, which ended its broadcast in Canada and the United States. Additionally, there are three video games available on all seventh generation consoles.A Reboot based on the Manga titled Baku Tech! Bakugan has started airing on TV Tokyo and animated by Xebec as part of Oha Coro. However, this one is received poorly by the fans. It also spawned a sister series, Zoobles which is aimed more for the girly crowd.Spin Master first made reference to a Western reboot of the franchise in their 2015 Q3 financial report,note which also featured a blurry, tentative concept for the lead and a Bakugan then later went mum for a good couple of years before a trademark was filed late in 2017. Bakugan: Battle Planet is the name for the seemingly more straightforward Bakugan reboot.note See the page's references for details. According to a couple more recent financial reports, Battle Planet will be in the currently vogue style of 2 Quarter Hour Shorts and that they're aiming for a tentative release date for the show and its toys in 2019. Said reports also alluded to the possibility of a movie in the discussion phase, and a 2017 business report also has a couple of shots of the new cast and the Pyrus-using lead (a redesign of Dan Kuso), which have been clipped for convenient viewing here and here.Not to be confused with Bakuman。. Or Byakugan. Or even Bakuon!!* which, coincidentally, is also a TMS Entertainment property.

Darker and Edgier: Part 2 of New Vestroia made battling more lethal, with a body count consisting of both Bakugan and brawlers. Gundalian Invaders involves an actual war. Permanent character death is a common sight. Mechtanium Surge's first Big Bad, Mag Mel, was imprisoned for genocide and seeks to destroy the entire universe! The second Big Bad outdoes him by leveling an entire city and killing off all the Bakugan! To clarify, there's no attempt to cover up that destroying the city killed millions of people. In fact, it's very heavily implied that it did. Thank goodness the Brawlers Set Right What Once Went Wrong.

Continuity Porn: Mechtanium Surge has been this so far. Characters from all seasons have been making reappearances in important roles, including Spectra and Preyas (well, half of him, Preyas Angelo/Diablo is nowhere to be seen), Gundelia and Vestoria have been revisited for multi-episode arcs,and Mag Mel is the previous season's Big Bad, Emperor Barodius. And the season isn't even halfway over yet! Also a case of Tropes Are Not Bad, as this is one of the best things the season has going for it so far. The episode 'Blast from the Past' in the second half of the season is a glaring example. It brought back both Preyas forms, Minx Elfin, Skyress, Gorem, Ingram, the list goes on, but it's basically every partner Bakugan except Drago from previous seasons. It's a shame they were just there to get beaten though...

Defeat Means Friendship: Zenthon, a Mechtogan spawned from Drago's out of control power, was a rampaging beast until finally, Drago managed to best him in battle, resulting in him coming under Drago's control. Though in this case, it was described as "breaking a wild horse" and showing it whose the master.

Aborted Arc
 Bakugan / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: In New Vestroia, Drago separates himself from the Perfect Core to fight against the Vexos, and because of this, he no longer has full access to its power. He can briefly tap into the Perfect Core with special Ability Cards, however (which was instrumental to victory in several brawls), with the implication that he would gradually recover his full strength. Despite its plot importance and the fact that it was the target of Spectra’s obsession before his Heel–Face Turn, the writers began to forget about Drago’s Perfect Core powers until Gundalian Invaders, where they were completely gone and were effectively replaced with the Element and later the Sacred Orb.

More Dakka
 Bakugan / int_2b706ca
comment
More Dakka: The entire premise of the Battle Gear is to load a Bakugan down with firepower. Sometimes, it involves giant mechanical Bakugan that can combine into battle armor. Helios takes it to a major extreme by implementing Vestal technology into his body to become a technorganic dragon, improving it as he and Spectra see fit. The first Battle Gear he uses (also first in the series) is the Twin Destroyer, a pair of rapid-fire, quadruple-barreled machine gun turrets. The next atep up is the Zukanator, a missile-size photon laser that can rip through tempered steel plates like tinfoil. The Vexos use mecha Bakugan as a total replacement to the living ones, believing they can craft bigger weapons of destruction than Bakugan themselves can unleash. If need be, they will force evolution or experiment to make them deadlier. King Zenoheld starts off with Farbros, a mecha dragon with immense firepower. It turns into a full-fledged battle suit when the Assail System is combined with it. But the most fearsome weapon he ever used was the Alternative, a continent-sized starship with garrisons of disposable attack bots, SAVAGE firepower that ripped a gaping hole in a moon, then vaporized said moon, and the power to wipe out planets at the flick of a wrist. Drago's constant use of Battle Gear himself, plus his unbelievably frequent evolution rate powers him up time and time again. Dragonoid Colossus had Battle Gear he could summon to use on his back like battleship guns. He passes one of these, Axator, to Drago. If Colossus didn't get destroyed, we might have seen more of his Battle Gear used by Drago. Mechtogan are summoned in response to the need for more power to defeat a foe, starting with Zenthon- but he's stuck in an Unstoppable Rage until put under proper control. When that isn't enough, immense willpower and the complete synchronization of Brawler, Bakugan and Mechtogan can cause a Mechtogan Titan to appear. When a Brawler's will reaches its peak, the strongest Mechtogan can be summoned- ones that can combine. The strongest of these is Dragonoid Destroyer. Bakugan can fuse with other Bakugan to combine powers and abilities, or absorb objects of power to grow stronger and harness their might. Kazarina splices ancestral DNA into Dharak for the sole purpose of his evolution to be on par with Drago. Cordegon, Slycerack, Exostriker, and Mandiblor act as minions to the Nonets to use their power while they recuperate. Emphasis on the "act".These Mechtogan combine into the terrifying Mechtavius Destroyer when united, capable of sucking in the power of defeated Bakugan. In response to this, Chromopod's ability to strip these Mechtogan from Cordegon's control allows for the fusion of Quatrogan. The strongest power of Bakugan is the ability to resonate with the willpower and courage of other Bakugan and humans to tap into their greatest and most decisive powers, often the result being evolution. In Drago's case, anytime a foe causes both him and Dan to force themselves to new heights, their wills fire up, and almost certainly, it leads to another evolution. They get tested so much by powerful forces and battle challenging evils so frequently, transformations are Drago's instinctive response to finding more strength: he and Dan will it into existence.

Continuing from above, Runo suspects in one episode that Alice is Masquerade's spy, with Dan reluctantly admitting that the evidence isn't in Alice's favor. Alice is genuinely saddened that her friends think she could be a spy and works hard to prove herself. It's not until Alice helps them in a battle that all doubts about her loyalty are erased. This both serves as foreshadowing and a false reassurance. Alice's loyalty to the team is genuine, but at the same time she doesn't know that she's Masquerade.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil: While mostly completely unconnected, each season's Big Bad is a great deal stronger than the previous one.

Power Levels
 Bakugan / int_324e2fcf
comment
Power Levels: Have been escalating. Brawlers can now take their opponent's Bakugan if their Bakugan's power level exceeds the opponent's by 500, and this happens regularly—as do power levels nearing 2000. Also, in episode 9 of New Vestroia, Lync says that a Bakugan can't move if its power level drops below 300. In Battle Brawlers, Bakugan with a natural power level below 300 were commonplace. Magic A Is Magic A: In episode 15, this new "rule" is violated. Repeatedly. Heck, the power levels in the actual game have been increasing as well, though at a slower pace. 450 to 500 Gs used to be powerful, but now we have Bakugan with 1000 Gs. Luckily enough, 1000 is as far as it goes...for now. The highest so far has been Drago with 3150 Gs. Granted, this was seen as far too much in-universe, and he was in danger of exploding, but... Power levels vanished about halfway through Gundalian Invaders and haven't returned in Mechtanium Surge.

Mira partially subverts this; she's already leading La Résistance at the start of New Vestroia, and she's not an only child. She is however the literal daughter of a Mad Scientist and is quite attractive.

Vocal Dissonance: Dan ages 6 years over 4 seasons, but his voice remains that of a preteen in the Japanese version. Averted in the dub, where Dan is voiced by a male actor who lowers his voice each season. Baron has a higher voice than his younger sister. To be fair, his VA was a child actor.

As of now, Drago has evolved nine times and gone through ten forms, adding in one backslide in power after separating from the Perfect Core. So far, if the show is truly over with. The gimmick's been beaten like a dead horse and serves as the prime excuse to make Drago tougher than the resident villains of each season on the fly (and sell an assload of new toy variants of the main character Bakugan that kids will easily recognize if he's their favorite, thus making their parents shell out money time and time again). Season 4 is Deconstructing this rather hard. Drago's latest evolution is way too much for him to control and is causing a lot of problems. It's created an unstoppable engine of destruction that's kicking everyone's butts, threatening to set Mag Mel out of his prison, and ''completely ruining''' Dan and Drago's reputation with their in-universe fanbase because they're fighting poorly due to needing to focus on controlling their power. Then, he evolves AGAIN to solve the problems this new evolution caused, but for the last time. Basically, the people behind the series didn't really care how much they abused the evolution gimmick. Actually, by the time Drago evolved for the final time, he had overcome the issues caused by his evolution.

Elemental Powers
 Bakugan / int_42846e90
comment
Elemental Powers: Pyrus (fire), Aquos (water), Ventus (air), Subterra (earth), Haos (light), and Darkus (darkness). These powers are drawn from Infinity (positive energy), which allows Bakugan to use all elements, and Silence (negative energy), which amplifies dark power to extreme heights. When combined, they form Perfect energy, and a Bakugan can use any element to its fullest, or even bend space and time.

Paper-Thin Disguise: Used to incredible extremes. Spectra and Gus make a grand arrival on Earth walking out of a Ferris Wheel. A few days later, Gus is able to walk around unnoticed by the Brawlers simply by taking his coat off. Later on, he sneaks into the throne room, wearing a cocktail dress and a ponytail. Talkng of Spectra, Mira doesn't recognise him as her brother until he takes his mask off, despite them having the same voice and face. No-one recognises Anubias and Sellon's alien forms until they transform right in front of them. Invoked by Wiseman, who models his human form off Gunz Lazar in a spandex costume to frame him, but many viewers can tell them apart from their hair colour. The top Brawlers in season 1 went to the same shop selling black cloaks as Yugi Oh GX. Julie knows two of them personally, but doesn't recognise them until the take the cloaks off.

Fantastic Racism: It is strongly implied that white Bakugan, those that have no element and therefore are powerless, are discriminated against in Vestroia, which explains why Naga is so driven to become powerful. It is also implied that the reason Wavern fell in love with Drago is because he treated her as a normal person and took her into the other realms of Vestroia, something she could never do under her own power.

Chest Blaster
 Bakugan / int_595a20c9
comment
The MK 2 upgrade gives Helios a lot more toys to play with: besides retaining the wing cannons, he gets a Chest Blaster (a reference to the Sazabi), a new right hand with finger lasers that can also work as a Rocket Punch (a reference to the Zeong) that covers an Arm Cannon that can be used once fists-a-fly on top of that. MK 2 further improves on the FARBAS repair system by giving Helios three more versions: EM which allows him to survive simultaneous attacks, RX which lets him nullify gate cards and all ability cards for a limited time, and D2 which lets him nullify all ability cards once they've been activated during D2's activation period. And he retains the compatibility with the Maxus traps AND gains the ability to use not one, but TWO different sets of Battle Gear (the only Bakugan in the anime ever shown to do this): one that is a pair of shoulder Gatling cannons and another one being a big-effin-cannon that is a reference to the Hyaku Shiki's Mega Beam Launcher. Whew.

So Last Season: In keeping with the Merchandise-Driven nature of the show, each season of Bakugan had a gimmick/gadget prominently used by the cast in battle that was unceremoniously and inexplicably dumped when the next season aired: Battle Brawlers had launchers and Baku Pods. Both were gone in New Vestroia. New Vestroia had Trap Bakugan and Gauntlets. Both were gone in Gundalian Invaders. Gundalian Invaders had Battle Gear. They were gone by Mechtanium Surge.

Heroic Sacrifice: Drago has to merge with the Perfect Core at the end of Battle Brawlers, losing his physical form. He gets better at the start of New Vestroia. Elico sacrifices his life in battle with Farbros to protect Gus. Soon, Hexados follows suit and leaps in front of a lethal blast to save Vulcan. Prince Hydron makes sure his father goes down with the quickly collapsing ship at the end of New Vestroia. As for Professor Clay, he chooses to stay behind in the Alternative when he gets trapped, rather than have Mira and Keith risk their lives to save him. "Surge": Kodokor lets himself be slain so that a combined Spatterix and Stronk can take down Mechtavius Destroyer in the havoc of his explosive death, and likewise, the latter two buy time for Betadron and Gunz to escape harm. Also in "Surge", Worton and Betadron stay behind in the time stream to let the Brawlers travel back to the past, knowing they might perish.

Mechtogan are summoned in response to the need for more power to defeat a foe, starting with Zenthon- but he's stuck in an Unstoppable Rage until put under proper control. When that isn't enough, immense willpower and the complete synchronization of Brawler, Bakugan and Mechtogan can cause a Mechtogan Titan to appear. When a Brawler's will reaches its peak, the strongest Mechtogan can be summoned- ones that can combine. The strongest of these is Dragonoid Destroyer.

Farbros, the main antagonist Bakugan, has a base form with beam cannons in the claws which can also electroshock, a beam cannon in it's mouth (after all it's a mecha dragon), some missile launchers and flamethrowers in the knees.

The difference is that Billy and Julie are known to have been friends for quite some time, while Runo met Dan only once when they were playing in the park and didn't realise the boy who was annoying her that day was actually Dan.

Put on a Bus
 Bakugan / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: Joe in New Vestroia, while played with in Gundalian Invaders as Dan and Julie took a bus away from Runo and Alice. The official website has also removed most of the content regarding Battle Brawlers in favor of New Vestroia material...Not exactly sure how they're going to bring the suspense about Shun's return, which hasn't actually aired in the US yet... Also Preyas Angelo/Preyas Diablo. He disappears until Mechtavius Destroyer wages an attack on New Vestroia... and gets a painfully brief cameo before he has a Disney Death. By how the website's now been Gundalian-ified, things aren't looking too good for the New Vestroia characters...Mira, Ace, and Baron are replaced by Jake, Ren, and Fabia, respectively by Bakugan type. So far in Gundalia, this seems to have happened to Preyas, Elfin, and Ingram. In short, if your Brawler or Bakugan is Darkus, Subterra or Haos, you're screwed. All of the Trap Bakugan. The Bus Came Back for most of them in the fourth season, including Preyas (who is training an apprentice in Vestoria) and most of the Gundalian Invaders characters due to Marucho sending out a Gondor Calls for Aid and Gundalia being Mag Mel's first target after being freed. Many other Bakugan make a return in "Mechtanium Surge," Tigerra showing up once, and then a large number making last stand against Mechtavius Destroyer in the Bad Future, including Gorem, Preyas Angelo/Diablo, Skyress, Ingram, Taylean, Hydranoid, Tristar, Tigerra (again), Preyas, and Elfin. The Vestal-native Bakugan do not return.

Not in Front of the Kid: When Drago and Wavern reunite, Wavern reveals her and Drago's relationship by calling him the pet name she gave him. When the brawlers learn that the two are in a romantic relationship, Wavern proceeds to flirt openly with Drago, who acknowledges the relationship, but asks Wavern not to do it in front of the kids. Wavern just keeps flirting, much to Drago's annoyance, and Dan's uncomfortableness.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Bakugan / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Code Eve, the creator of the Bakugan, gave Drago an upgrade as a reward for defeating season three's Big Bad. This ends up being too much for him to handle, resulting in Drago creating a Zenthon. This also links Dan and Dragon to Mag Mel, allowing him to absorb energy and begin to escape his prison. Yeah, real nice job there! Thanks to Mag Mel, nearly everything the Brawlers do in Mechtanium Surge turns out to be this. Not really their fault though, Mag Mel is just that good at Xanatos Speed Chess. Drago's decision in New Vestroia to try to take Dan without telling the Brawlers why he only needs Dan and instead preferring to be incredibly secretive causes a huge rift between Dan and Runo, and causes a huge amount of problems for the Resistance later on in the season, which makes the first arc much more harder than it should have been. His reasoning does not work either, as his claim that he can only count on Dan, along with his desire to not put the others in harm's way, falls completely flat given that he knows the other brawlers are very capable, and the brawlers literally risked their lives to save him.

Satanic Archetype
 Bakugan / int_803e3201
comment
Satanic Archetype: Naga very much fits the role of the devil here. He is a powerless white Bakugan who desires power, and has no problem rebelling against the law of Vestroia in order to do so. He similarly corrupts Alice into Masquerade, causing her to commit multiple atrocities under his command, and through Masquerade, he offers many players limitless power and skill in exchange for defeating the Brawlers, even though he has no intention of living up to that agreement. In the final battle, his appearance is incredibly demonic, and many of the Bakugan he leads are corrupted abominations. He also shows a strong fratricidal instinct towards his own sister when he meets her on Earth.

Karmic Death: All of the Big Bads (sans Mechtavius Destroyer) have been done in by their own doing. Naga's own energy absorbing powers were used to overload him, causing him to explode. Zenoheld's own ultimate weapon exploded with him inside it while his son who he treated like crap keeps him inside it. Barodius met his end when the object he spent the entire season trying to get proved far too much for him to handle and seemingly vaporized him and his Guardian Bakugan. Instead, they turned into Mag Mel and Razenoid, but then were finally beaten for good and destroyed entirely... again, by Mag Mel's suicidal attempt to take Dan down with him by launching all his hi-jacked energy at him... only to fail.

He has three cybernetic forms (two in New Vestroia and one in Mechtanium Surge): Cyborg Helios MK 1 is the Flawed Prototype form, marginally stronger than his (organic) Viper form, with most of the upgrades being a new set of wings with built in cannons, the FARBAS damage repair system and the ability to combine with the Maxus Traps mentioned below. The MK 2 upgrade gives Helios a lot more toys to play with: besides retaining the wing cannons, he gets a Chest Blaster (a reference to the Sazabi), a new right hand with finger lasers that can also work as a Rocket Punch (a reference to the Zeong) that covers an Arm Cannon that can be used once fists-a-fly on top of that. MK 2 further improves on the FARBAS repair system by giving Helios three more versions: EM which allows him to survive simultaneous attacks, RX which lets him nullify gate cards and all ability cards for a limited time, and D2 which lets him nullify all ability cards once they've been activated during D2's activation period. And he retains the compatibility with the Maxus traps AND gains the ability to use not one, but TWO different sets of Battle Gear (the only Bakugan in the anime ever shown to do this): one that is a pair of shoulder Gatling cannons and another one being a big-effin-cannon that is a reference to the Hyaku Shiki's Mega Beam Launcher. Whew. Infinity Helios from Mechtanium Surge is a streamlined, Darkus version of Cyborg Helios MK 2 that ditches a lot of the tacked-on mecha-reference weapons, so he only retains the Chest Blaster and FARBAS system (which has been upgraded even further to FARBAS Infinity). He also completely ditches the wings for a Jet Pack that contains a plethora of lasers that robotech towards their targets, but retains the ability to combine with a BakuNano (essentially miniaturized and significantly improved Battle Gear), his being a set of big-effin beam guns. Helios loves his dakka.

Evil Counterpart: Dan and Masquerade both have a dragon-based partner who evolves by getting stronger and are the first two characters shown with talking Bakugan. Dan and Spectra in the second season for, again, having dragon-like partners and a similar end goal of defeating Zenoheld, though their means to an end significantly differ. Well, until Keith decides to drop the mask and join the Brawlers, that is. Baron and Volt both live with several young children and prefer Haos-attributed Bakugan.

 Bakugan / int_9d12bbc1

Foreshadowing: The first season drops hints to Masquerade's identity as Alice like there's no tomorrow. Not once are Alice and Masquerade ever seen together in the same scene (not counting Masquerade's battle with Exedra and an illusory Alice listed below). The Battle Brawlers have six members each that wield Bakugan of a specific attribute, except for Darkus. Alice is the only who doesn't initially brawl, while Masquerade is the main Darkus brawler. While this may have been because Darkus was initially seen as an "evil attribute", once Alice accepts that Masquerade is a part of herself, she becomes the Darkus brawler, inheriting Masquerade's Hydranoid as her own Bakugan. While Alice didn't intially battle, she knew the rules of Bakugan and was a skilled strategist. She likely could have been the top Brawler if she did battle. Masquerade was the top Brawler because he had Alice's knowledge and strategic mind, and also knew Alice's friends personally. Masquerade was one of the servants of Naga alongside Hal-G, the evil alter-ego of Alice's grandfather Michael. Masquerade was also shown in the background of a video recording just after Michael was corrupted into Hal-G. It turns out Alice was visiting her grandfather at the time when he made the recording and was transformed by the negative energy Naga unleashed into the lab into Masquerade. No matter where the Brawlers go, Masquerade and his minions always knew where to find them. Everyone suspects that there is an inside man on the team, though this suspicion doesn't do them any good. When they assume at first that the leaker is their website’s web master, Masquerade’s cronies continue to follow them, regardless of whether they post online. This indicates that the Web Master is a Red Herring. Continuing from above, Runo suspects in one episode that Alice is Masquerade's spy, with Dan reluctantly admitting that the evidence isn't in Alice's favor. Alice is genuinely saddened that her friends think she could be a spy and works hard to prove herself. It's not until Alice helps them in a battle that all doubts about her loyalty are erased. This both serves as foreshadowing and a false reassurance. Alice's loyalty to the team is genuine, but at the same time she doesn't know that she's Masquerade. Alice never goes to the Doom Dimension with her friends because she's not a Brawler, but when her friends return, she is mysteriously absent. At the same time, Masquerade is visiting the Doom Dimension... The biggest hint has to be when Masquerade faces an illusory Alice brawling with Excedra. As mentioned above, Alice and Masquerade have never interacted once onscreen before, so Alice being "what Masquerade must overcome" wouldn't make any sense unless there was some connection between the two. When Joe mentions Wavern, Drago immediately identifies her as Naga's twin sister, something that indicates he knows Naga and Wavern quite well, and foreshadowing their relationship with each other. New Vestroia spends the last few episodes setting up Gundalian Invaders with Bakugan Interspace, the phantom data, the Bakugan generated by said phantom data and the introduction of battle gear. The second episode of Gundalian Invaders has the first Eyecatch in the Teletoon broadcast have Ren saying “Everything’s going to plan, Linehalt.”. Now why would someone on the Brawlers’ side say such a stock bad guy line to what is supposedly another digital clone? The answer comes three episodes later, with the reveal that Ren is The Mole and that Linehalt is a real Bakugan. In Mechtanium Surge, Razenoid's head heavily resembles Dharak's. This sets up the reveal that Razenoid IS Dharak and Mag Mel is Barodius. In at least one episode set on Gundalia, Dan even suggests that he (Mag Mel) has been there before due to his familiarity with the terrain. Of course the former Emperor would know the terrain of his planet. In the second half of Mechtanium Surge, Wiseman and Cordegon are never in the same scene together (just like how Masquerade and Alice are never seen together), not even when Cordegon is summoned into battle by the Nonet Bakugan. When Wiseman reveals himself to be Cordegon, Shun even mentions how Wiseman and Cordegon were never in the same place at once.

Adaptational Jerkass: Shun's grandfather in the dub. Originally, when Shiori was in the hospital, he would tell Shun that her condition was getting worse, and when she passed away, he told Shun the situation with her and Skyress, explaining that Shiori wanted to give Skyress to him for his birthday. In the dub however, along with keeping Shiori alive (Albeit in a coma), Shun's grandfather is changed to a Fantasy Forbidding Grandfather, as he instead calls Shun to tell him he's taking over his life, and mere seconds after Shiori slips into a coma, he tells Shun he's going to force him to focus on his ninja training and that he won't be playing Bakugan anymore.

"No Peeking!"

Marucho figures it out and jumps into the portal as well, while Runo and Julie are angry they were left behind.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Zenoheld’s plan to wipe out the Bakugan would’ve succeeded if he didn’t include a “return the Bakugan to normal size so the Brawlers have to see them die horribly” function. That just gives Drago and Helios (the only Bakugan left on New Vestroia and two of the most powerful in the show) a chance to destroy it, which they gladly take.

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: In the first season, Runo and Julie, two of the three female brawlers in the main cast, wear crop tops, while Alice and the boys don't. The more feminine and emotional Julie continues to wear crop tops in the following two seasons, while the more tomboyish Runo doesn't continue the trend. On one occasion, Julie mentions that she is proud of doing this.

Hero Ball

Hero Ball: The second arc of New Vestroia is rife with this. First, King Zenoheld threatens to destroy all Bakugan unless the Six Legendary Soldiers defeat him. Except, he can't destroy the Bakugan unless he takes the attribute energies from the soldiers. What do the soldiers do? Fight him anyway, putting all Bakugan at risk even though they are ostensibly trying to protect them. Next, the Brawlers are trusted with protecting the attribute energies. Whenever the Vexos show up to take the energies, the Brawlers always accept the challenge. However, defeating the Vexos only means they will challenge them another day, while losing to the Vexos means all Bakugan die. The heroes lose nothing by refusing to battle, but always accept the challenge anyway, for no reason.

Demoted to Extra: Julie, Runo and Alice in New Vestroia. Okay, maybe more like demoted to second tier, but until they regain the ability to brawl, the trope still applies. By the time of Gundalian Invaders, Runo and Alice don't even appear. Runo's mentioned in a picture, but that's about it. Then, Runo returns as a (fairly) main character in the second half of Mechtanium Surge, but she's still retired from battling. Mira also comes back, but she's more or less Mission Control now. There's also Julie, who like Runo is still retired from battling and now works as a news reporter.

Transformation Is a Free Action
 Bakugan / int_b9616deb
comment
Transformation Is a Free Action: Played with the second arc of Mechtanium Surge. Wiseman had a tendency to not let the good guys' Bakugan combine, and would just respond to this attempt with an attack, though in "Jump to Victory" that attack took awhile to rear up so it really didn't make as much sense. In "Enemy Allies", Mechtavius Destroyer attacks Dan as he is getting ready to bring out Dragonoid Destroyer, and in "Evil Arrival" he attacks Gunz before he gets to finish saying "Bakugan Brawl". Most notably, in "Evil vs. Evil", he doesn't let Betadron, Kodokor, and Mutabrid combine, and keeps slapping Mutabrid around, but no matter how much, he insists on combining and eventually dies. That said, Talking Is a Free Action is still in play. There actually was one time that Talking Is a Free Action was not in play, during the final battle, when Dan was confused as to why Dragonoid Destroyer was only using 90% of his power. This was done for surprise effect later on.

Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: Mira partially subverts this; she's already leading La Résistance at the start of New Vestroia, and she's not an only child. She is however the literal daughter of a Mad Scientist and is quite attractive. Alice, a Mad Scientist's Beautiful Granddaughter, plays this straight. Well, sort of. Her grandfather, Michael, was taken over by negative energy after an accident with a dimensional transporter and became the evil Hal-G, and she tried to defend him, and was herself being used by him, first by being turned into Masquerade and then by being tricked into believing that Michael was in there somewhere.

comment
Serial Escalation: The anime is shamelessly guilty of this trope: In Season 1, a power level of 450 was considered to be horrifyingly strong, yet by the second half of Season 2, it’d be too weak to seriously contend with any Bakugan. Also in Season 2 was the introduction of Ability and Gate Cards that added/deducted such exorbitant amounts of Gs that they would be straight-up instant-win cards back in Season 1. (With some being literal instant-win cards!) Season 1 had no special gimmicks. Season 2 had Trap Bakugan to provide support for main Bakugan. Season 3 had Battle Gear that could cause major destruction to everything in its user’s radius. Season 4 had Gundam-sized Mechtogan with power that would put the likes of the Megazord and Voltron to shame. Which were later one-upped by Mechtogan Titans, which were double their size.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Naga kicked off the series by absorbing too much energy from the Silent Core. When he dies, it's also by absorbing too much power. The BT System of New Vestroia also explodes by absorbing too much power. Phantom Darak and Barodius also explode from, guess what, absorbing too much power. Now, in Mechtanium Surge there is a creepy guy who is demanding power from the main characters. Any bets on what'll happen to him next? Guess what! HE EXPLODED.

Invocation: "Gate Card, Set!", "Bakugan Brawl!", "Ability Activate!"... During New Vestroia, "Ability Activate!" makes up 80% of the dialogue. And no, that is not an overstatement, it really does.

Our Dragons Are Different: This anime loves this. In no specific order: [Dragonoid◊, Helios◊, Rubanoid◊ Plitheon◊ Avior◊ Dharak◊ Wavern◊ Naga◊ oh gosh Naga◊ Dragaon◊. The list will go on forever at this rate. Just covering a few missed ones. There's Farbros◊ a mehanical dragon, then there's Krakenoid◊, Percival◊, Hydranoid◊ (all three of his forms and his mechanical counterpart Hades) and Apollonir◊, the video game gives us Leonidas◊.

Evolution Power-Up
 Bakugan / int_d9917a4a
comment
Evolution Powerup: All of the main Bakugan evolve at least once, and Drago and Hydranoid evolve twice. Then, Drago succumbs to something we could deem Spontaneous Evolution Syndrome, and hits an absurd level of transformations to the point it gets cheap to know he's just gonna keep evolving like crazy each season. As of now, Drago has evolved nine times and gone through ten forms, adding in one backslide in power after separating from the Perfect Core. So far, if the show is truly over with. The gimmick's been beaten like a dead horse and serves as the prime excuse to make Drago tougher than the resident villains of each season on the fly (and sell an assload of new toy variants of the main character Bakugan that kids will easily recognize if he's their favorite, thus making their parents shell out money time and time again). Season 4 is Deconstructing this rather hard. Drago's latest evolution is way too much for him to control and is causing a lot of problems. It's created an unstoppable engine of destruction that's kicking everyone's butts, threatening to set Mag Mel out of his prison, and ''completely ruining''' Dan and Drago's reputation with their in-universe fanbase because they're fighting poorly due to needing to focus on controlling their power. Then, he evolves AGAIN to solve the problems this new evolution caused, but for the last time. Basically, the people behind the series didn't really care how much they abused the evolution gimmick. Actually, by the time Drago evolved for the final time, he had overcome the issues caused by his evolution.

Spin-Off
 Bakugan / int_d9ee7048
comment
Spin-Off: TMS decided not to release the original dub of Mechtanium Surge in Japanese and instead, do an anime adaptation of the Bakutech! Bakugan Manga, starting again from scratch and rebooting the whole franchise. This however, displeases a lot of Japanese fans. Though this is not counted, Zoobles is also considered a Spin-off to the Bakugan Toyline since they both got similar concepts of Spherical Toys transforming into figures, except that Zoobles transform using magnetic holders called Happitats, much like the Gate Cards. But when is Bakugan is a Tabletop Game, Zoobles are more of toys for girls. It gets even more Hilarious in Hindsight when the Zooble toys can be activated using Magnetic Recipe cards, more of a Shout-Out to the Bakugan's way of activating a Bakugan using a Magnetic Gate Card. Of course, both toys were distributed in Japan by the same company, Sega Toys.

comment
No matter where the Brawlers go, Masquerade and his minions always knew where to find them. Everyone suspects that there is an inside man on the team, though this suspicion doesn't do them any good. When they assume at first that the leaker is their website’s web master, Masquerade’s cronies continue to follow them, regardless of whether they post online. This indicates that the Web Master is a Red Herring.

Art Evolution: Gundalian Invaders finally stopped with all the Off-Model-ness, but the Lip Lock is still heavily present. Battle Planet also exhibits this with radically new designs and more consistent animation quality for both 2D and 3D animation compared to the earlier seasons. This is likely due to Nelvana and Spin Master having more involvement this time around.

Combination Attack
 Bakugan / int_e69e12b2
comment
Combination Attack: Various special attacks can be used to boost the power level of your Bakugan if you're attacking with two Bakugan of elements next to each other on the elemental wheel...or across from each other on the wheel...or with the three that make up a triangle on that wheel. So there's a pretty good chance that any time two of the Brawlers are dueling together, they'll be able to use a combo attack. Hell, seeing as how regular (normally Aquos) Preyas can change his element at will and his evolution manifested in the form of a second Bakugan, Haos Preyas Angelo/Pyrus Preyas Diablo, Marucho is able to pull off the Aquos/Pyrus/Haos triangle attack all by himself—or would be, if any of the non-sentient Bakugan appeared at all during New Vestroia. The Fusion Abilities in New Vestroia and onward are a type of this, as they significantly boost the attack of a Bakugan and can only be activated after activating a basic Ability.

 Bakugan / int_e8b0f099
comment
The Battle Brawlers have six members each that wield Bakugan of a specific attribute, except for Darkus. Alice is the only who doesn't initially brawl, while Masquerade is the main Darkus brawler. While this may have been because Darkus was initially seen as an "evil attribute", once Alice accepts that Masquerade is a part of herself, she becomes the Darkus brawler, inheriting Masquerade's Hydranoid as her own Bakugan.

Darkest Hour
 Bakugan / int_f91d1d4f
comment
Darkest Hour: All of the seasons tend to have their moments. In the first season, Naga has managed to cross to Earth and immediately races towards the Infinity Core and Wavern while the Brawlers are stuck in Vestroia, and even when children are able to release their Bakugan to fight Naga's army, they are only able to slow them down. The tide only turns when Drago is forced to kill Wavern to ensure Naga cannot get the Infinity Core. The second season has two of them. The first one is early on when Tigrerra is captured by the Vexals, at which point the Resistance is on the verge of collapse. This prompts the Six Soldiers of Vestroia to send Drago to Earth to summon aid. The second one is when Drago is captured and brainwashed putting the Resistance at a severe psychological disadvantage.
