Line 7:
* [[Big in Japan|Big In America]]: Was quite the flop in Japan, while a huge hit in America and is the current [[Popcultural Osmosis|go-to boy thing]] in South Africa.
** Very popular in Hungary of all places.
* [[Cliché Storm]]: Bakugan is a series about [[Mon|monsters]] [[Pokémon
* [[Complete Monster]]: All the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] have been different degrees of this trope. Thankfully they all get their karmic payback in the end (so far)
** Naga's entire scheme resolved around murdering his own sister to gain power and his actions result in the pointless deaths and/or [[Fate Worse Than Death]] of a great many Bakugan. He also brainwashed at least two people to be his [[The Dragon|Dragons]]. He never once shows remorse. {{spoiler|His thirst for power did him in when Drago and the other Guardian Bakugan feed him more power than he can absorb, causing him to explode.}}
** Zenoheld's plan started out as enslaving an entire race for entertainment, then moved on to genocide, and finally to becoming an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] trying to destroy the entire universe. Not to mention he treats his son like a soldier who doesn't amount to anything else. {{spoiler|His own ultimate weapon explodes with him still onboard, his son deciding to go with him to make sure the madman goes down with his ship.}}
** Barodius started a war against a peaceful race simply for power and has no problem killing off or brainwashing his henchman at the drop of a hat. His Guardian Bakugan shares his personality. {{spoiler|Ultimately manages to get what he wanted, but they can't handle the power and both get banished to another dimmension by Code Eve. He then becomes Mag Mel, see below.}}
** Mag Mel hasn't even got the chance to show what he can really do but is already shaping up to be this. The reason he's [[Sealed Evil in
▲*** Coredegon and his pals one up themselves by {{spoiler|''leveling Bakugan city''. While only the Bakugan death count is mentioned, it's clear the act killed a massive amount of both Bakugan and humans. He then goes to New Vestoria and begins obliterating everyone in his path, [[Hero Killer|including pretty much all the previous hero Bakugan.]] Thankfully, all this is undone via time travel, but still, the fact he's WILLING to do this is more than enough to qualify him!}}
* [[Creator's Pet]]: [[Karma Houdini|Keith.]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Maxus Dragonoid vs Maxus Helios.
** [[MST3K Mantra|Once you get past]] the [[Fridge Logic]] and [[Ass Pull]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Ear Worm|'Bang Bang Bakugan!']], [[Hot
* [[Ending Fatigue]]: The ''New Vestroia'' arc. Okay, so the brawlers had to free the Bakugan from the Vexos. Oh wait! Now they have to stop the Vexos from destroying all the Bakugan! Oh wait! {{spoiler|Now they have to stop the Vexos from destroying ''[[Omnicidal Maniac|the whole universe]]''}}!
** Mira even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it nicely for us:
{{quote|
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The Vexos will more than likely never appear again, but after entering the second season after New Vestroia, some of the members are ''still'' getting plenty of fan art. {{spoiler|And Spectra's popularity was a contributing factor to his return in the latest arc.}}
* [[Fan Service]]: [[Token Girl|Fabia]], [[Bishonen|Ren]] and [[Mr. Fanservice|Jake]] both have many moments throughout ''Gundalian Invaders''.
* [[First Installment Wins]]: To many fans, Bakugan will never be as good as it was in the first series, no doubt thanks to [[Nelvana]] [[Retcon|changing the relationship]] between Dan and Runo from [[Official Couple]] to just friends ,later series slowly but surely losing various [[Gaming and Sports Anime And Manga]] elements and strategy until the middle of Gundailan Invaders where the show becomes about [[Kaiju]] spamming Ability Cards, and the women being treated so badly they wouldn't look out-of-place if they were in [[Naruto]].
* [[Foe Yay]]: Often overlaps with [[Ho Yay]] as well, And IT'S OFTEN! But...the [[Face Palm]]-ing [[Head Desk]] example is last battle between Dan and Masquerade in ''Battle Brawlers''. The battle was goddamn epic and...well, [[Double Entendre|Intense]], complete with collateral damage and...ClothingDamage, well, Masquerade turns to be {{spoiler|[[Proper Lady|Alice Gehabich]]}}. In universe this ain't a problem, out universe? [[Unfortunate
* [[Ho Yay]]: Spectra and Gus. Need we say more?
** Ren and Marucho
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Mag Mel. He's been one step ahead of ''everyone'' the entire season. Even when he ''loses'' he ultimately comes out on top. Part of this is being an extremely good [[Chessmaster]], the other part is [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulating]] people to play into his hand. And even though he's an [[Omnicidal Maniac]], he normally has multiple plans going at once to the same goal so if one fails, he's got several backups ready. While he himself lacks charisma to some degree, he realized this and created ''two'' extremely charismatic [[Co-Dragons]] to do this for him, to wonderful effect.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: VILANTOR! Clearly the most powerful ''thing'' on the show, with a currently perfect fighting record.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_M5UNfG_Yo It has also been] the battle cry for [[
*** [[Team Fortress 2
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: [[Easily Forgiven|Yet nobody on the show seems to remember Keith crossing it as Spectra.]]
** Mag Mel performing [[Mind Rape]] on Dan and Dragon [[For the Evulz]]. If not that, then paralyzing a boy in fear to place the Brawlers in a [[Sadistic Choice]] where they either have to kill an innocent human being or let Mag Mel's monsters continue to destroy everything in their path.
Line 40 ⟶ 38:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Mag Mel. ''Everything about him''. He's an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] who [[Emotion Eater|feeds on fear]] and has been performing [[Mind Rape]] on Dan and Drago [[For the Evulz]].
** {{spoiler|Mistress Sellon's death...}}
* [[Shipping Bed Death]]: The finale of ''Battle Brawlers'' tied up a lot of the romantic subplots. Naturally, this means there's nothing left for the female Brawlers to do and they're all either Demoted To Extras or Put On A Bus entirely in ''New Vestroia''. Three new characters join Dan, Marucho and Shun to make up the new six-element team-- and two of them are male. [[Periphery Demographic]]? What's that? We just [[Merchandise-Driven|want to sell toys]], and [[Beyblade|that]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|requires]] [[Digimon Tamers
** Wait...that ''is'' going after a [[Yaoi Guys|Periphery Demographic.]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: Julie/Dan for awhile, even though [[I Knew It!|we all knew he would end up with Runo in the end]]. Shun/Alice, and Klaus/Alice
** Dan/Alice in New Vestroia. Plus Foeyay between Masquerade (Alice) and Dan... Hmm...
** In ''New Vestroia'', Ace/Mira and Dan/Mira.
Line 49 ⟶ 47:
*** Gundalian Invaders also had some Shun/Fabia, as in the deleted scene of episode 4 where it shows Shun and Fabia talking about the war in Shun's house...''at night''. It's implied she stay in his house for the night, as she's still shown there in episode 6. Then all the teamwork between them, especially one of the last scenes of episode 34.
**** And some shipper remarked that [http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/13500000/fabia-sheen-fabia-sheen-13596827-475-341.jpg Fabia] [http://images2.fanpop.com/image/quiz/439000/439328_1278490443045_478_361.jpg resembles] Shun's [[Missing Mom|deceased]] [http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/13800000/shun-s-mom-shun-kazami-13822017-483-363.jpg mom].... this argument can be used [[Squick|against the pairing]] or [[Like Parent, Like Spouse|support it]] apparently....
* [[Ship
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Anything rendered in CG that aren't the Bakugan themselves (thanks to not using [[For the Cel of It|cel shading on those other elements]]), the pigeons also combine this with what may be the [[Uncanny Valley]].
* [[The Scrappy]]: Baron.
Line 55 ⟶ 53:
** [[Most Annoying Sound|Harpus]].
=== '''For [[Bakugan (
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: There’s an actual '''Card Game?'''
Line 62 ⟶ 60:
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Harpus is ''male''… not even the shows staff got this.
