One of the few good things from MS was the arc of Marucho. Realising how imperfect Dan is and how dangerous is to idolize anyone

YESSSSSS EXACTLY.

I really don't think we talk enough about Marucho's growth in MS1 and how we see bits of his trial resurface amid the bleak situation with Bakugan Interspace, especially concerning Dan.

I've already talked here about the significance of Marucho's nickname and how Dan is most likely the reason why Marucho created it. Marucho outright told Dan that he was the reason why his family moved to Battle Town/Wardington. Marucho mentioned Dan by name during his trial when he talked about the people who helped him change. Season two featured a couple of moments where Marucho would rush to find Dan if he was in trouble and even showcased Marucho having trouble sleeping because he was worried about Dan unlike Shun.

The show repeatedly highlights how important Dan is to Marucho, how vital he was in Marucho’s transformation into a more confident person, as well as how much Marucho admires Dan as both a leader and a person.

And what does MS1 do? It slowly breaks down Marucho’s image of Dan.

The usually confident and transparent Dan Kuso is no more. He spends less time with his friends, sneaks around to train in secret, hides his nightmares, lashes out when questioned and puts on a brave face, pretending as if everything is alright.

As Dan and Drago keep putting the audience in danger with their uncontrollable power, the unheroic behavior of Interspace’s resident hero is brought to light, scrutinized and condemned by their fans. Even so, Marucho’s faith in Dan doesn’t waver and he actually sympathizes with what Dan must be going through, being unable to battle the way he used to when battling is such a big part of who Dan is.

Dan leaves Interspace without a word and the repercussions of his actions fall on Marucho (and Shun) to clean up. Marucho has to worry about the chaotic state of Interspace, Shun’s reckless attempt at establishing order through dominating force, Rafe and Paige’s disdain for the Brawlers, as well as Dan’s absence. And it’s at this very moment when the Brawlers are disconnected and Marucho feels more alone than ever that his father enters the scene.

This is no coincidence. I’ve already spoken about this scene here and here so all I’ll say is that it’s a brilliant way to highlight Marucho’s growth since his trial by placing him in a situation where the very group that helped Choji become Marucho is no longer present.

We see how even when Marucho wishes to step back into his old persona of the obedient son, he simply cannot forget his friends or the game they created because of the impact it had on his life. This, once again, makes Marucho reevaluate his identity and reconcile the two versions of himself that are Choji Marukura, the heir to the Marukura fortune, and Marucho Marukura, the Aquos Battle Brawler.

Dan returns to Interspace expecting a hero’s welcome, but what happens instead is that his Mechtogan goes on another rampage, (nearly killing team Anubias) the Brawlers only just learn about the existence of Mag Mel through Dan after he kept quiet about it for who knows how long, and Dan once again downplays the severity of the situation and also dismisses Marucho’s new position as team leader.

The genuine confusion on Marucho’s face when Dan expects him to hand over the title of leader so easily is quite something. As if Marucho being acknowledged as the new leader on his own merit means so little to Dan, someone Marucho looks up to.

Though he may not know this, Dan’s actions put Marucho in a position where he almost gave up Bakugan for good and now he's standing there and laughing, as if this whole situation means nothing. For the very first time, we see Marucho snap at Dan and it’s clear how angry and disappointed he is with Dan’s attitude following his return. Ultimately, Dan learned nothing from being away for so long.

There is no doubt that Marucho admired Dan greatly because of certain heroic qualities of his and became upset when Dan no longer embodied those, but his understanding and sympathy towards Dan remained even when Dan became the furthest thing from a hero unlike Noah. He just wanted Dan to trust him the way Marucho wholeheartedly trusted Dan.

Marucho felt betrayed by Dan because they were supposed to be teammates, friends, family, and Dan didn’t trust his friends to be able to help him with his problems.

Marucho felt betrayed because the very person who started the Brawlers didn’t have faith in them to have his back, didn’t even give them a chance to be there for him, and then left them behind. Marucho had to work tirelessly to bring back his team, to make their fans believe in them again, to make his teammates believe in the Brawlers again. And when Dan returns, he sees none of Marucho’s hard efforts. He only thinks of himself and fights by himself, not as part of the Brawlers. Marucho expected better from Dan and he is continuously let down.

MS1 is really good at showcasing the dangers of putting someone on a pedestal and how much it hurts when their actions no longer meet your expectations.

In particular, Marucho, Noah, Chris and Soon are the characters who learn this lesson the hardest and grow from it, strengthening the bonds between themselves and their teammates, as well as becoming more confident and self-assured individuals. I think it’s a shame how the general dislike of Mechtanium Surge (as well as the English dub) prevents most fans from being able to see Marucho’s continued growth and how far he’s come.

I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash

It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds

In no way are there any pdf’s relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast

(Edit that I’ve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link won’t work anymore!)

Saw other people doing something similar with the flowers and bones props so it sparked my own creativity.
