Bakugan: Difference between revisions

* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Julie is unusually well-developed for her age, and her Bakugan partner Gorem is [[The Big Guy]] of the [[Five-Man Band]].

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Dr. Michael as Hal-G, it seems like everyone is getting brainwashed in ''Gundalian Invaders''

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: "Ability Card Activate! (Insert card name here)!"

** And, of course: "Gate Card, Open!!"

* [[Evil Twin]]: Naga, to Wavern. (They're ''fraternal'' twins, by the way.)

* [[Evil vs. Evil]]: {{spoiler|The evil Mechtagon vs the Nonet Bakugan and Wiseman II.}} The episode is even ''called'' "Evil Vs Evil".

** As of now, {{spoiler|Drago has evolved nine times. So far.}}

*** 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 [[Big Bad|Mag Mel]] [[Sealed Evil in A Can|out of his prison]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|''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.

** {{spoiler|"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.}}

** {{spoiler|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.}}

** Pretty much two third's of the cast are voiced by Canadian animation voice acting veterans

** Hmm, half of Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders is the [[Metal Fight Beyblade|Beyblade Metal Fusion]] show, if not all.

* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: Naga kicked off the series by absorbing too much energy from the Silent Core. {{spoiler|When he dies, it's also by absorbing too much power.}} The BT System of New Vestroia also explodes by absorbing too much power. {{spoiler|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?

** {{spoiler|Guess what! HE EXPLODED.}}

* [[Hot Shounen Mom]]: Dan's mom; Baron points out how young she looks when he meets her.

** Pretty much eveyone's mom except Runo's..... and not even then if you're [[Fetis Fuel|into that kind of stuff]].....Shun's Mom is the hottest, [[Utsuge|and is therefore]] [[Incurable Cough of Death|ill to deathbed!]] [[Ill Girl|GODDAMNED SEGA/SPINMASTER!!]]

* [[Lip Lock]]: Oh god, how this plagues the dub.

* [[Filler|Loads And Loads Of Filler]]: Feels like each arc can be condensed into ''a'' '''''third of its length'''''.

* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Spectra is {{spoiler|Mira's older brother Keith.}}

* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: Mira subverts this; she's ''already'' leading [[La Résistance]] at the start of ''New Vestroia'', and she's not an only child.

** ''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.

* [[Redemption Earns Life]]: It says something when the ''only'' survivors of the Twelve Orders were the ones who turned good.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|More or less the end result of Volt and Lync's [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]].}}

* [[Short Run in Peru]]: Sort of. ''Battle Brawlers'' episodes aired first in their country of origin, Japan. ''New Vestroia'' episodes also air in one of their countries of origin...Canada, home to North American distributor Nelvana. ''New Vestroia'' isn't airing in Japan at all.

** No, it's going to air in Japan...almost ''A WHOLE YEAR'' AFTER IT STARTED IN NORTH AMERICA!!

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Joe in terms of when he joins the show, and Alice in terms of when she starts brawling, in ''Battle Brawlers''. Shun in ''New Vestroia'', and no, that doesn't need a spoiler. The official site isn't making any attempt to deny that he'll be returning.

** What ''does'' need a spoiler is the ''other'' [[Sixth Ranger]]: {{spoiler|Spectra, a.k.a. Keith, Mira's brother}}.
