Bakugan rambling

My very first bakugan, when the series was new (I was in 4th grade!) and I was just trying it out, was a Darkus Delta Dragonoid. At some point I made it an unofficial goal to get every Dragonoid variant in Darkus. There's quite a few I missed, but I got quite a few. They tended to be the variant line that Dan's Dragonoid DIDN'T evolve into in the anime, where possible. I like to imagine that like Dan's Drago, it represents the same individual evolving over time:

Generation 1, Season 1 (Battle Brawlers):

Dragonoid

Dragonoid (Pearl)

Delta Dragonoid

Spin Dragonoid

G1 S2 (New Vestroia):

Infinity Dragonoid

Neo Dragonoid (Translucent)

Pyro Dragonoid

Hyper Dragonoid (BakuCore)

G1 S3 (Gundalian Invaders)

Helix Dragonoid

Chance Dragonoid

G1 S4 (Mechtanium Surge)

Iron Dragonoid

Fusion Dragonoid (LavaStorm)

I even kind of did this for BakuTech, as best as I can considering that they typically only come in one attribute. Dragaon and it's line was clearly meant to be the equivalent to Dragonoid without BEING a Dragonoid, as draconic Pyrus bakugan partnered with the main character:

Jiba Dragaon (Kurokami)

I skipped Generation 2, having only 2 geogan and a Ventus Titanium Trox. But I've been continuing the tradition for G3. Technically G3 did away with attributes, and as such none of the G3 bakugan CAN be Darkus, but artwork clearly shows that color matches with elemental powers, which is what attribute was. So black G3 bakugan are the equivalent of Darkus:

Titanium Dragonoid

Titanium Special Attack Dragonoid (B.A.M. neon translucent and blue accents)

Leonidas’ existence continues to prove that you can take a little negative energy sprinkle powder and make an all new person. But the games are non canon...

Kind of, but not quite. The souls aren't given the negative energy ball Hal-G creates in the intro sequence, nor a sprinkle later on. More accurately, it appears they're resonating to its existence out of a combined, restless fury, culminating in one death dragon.

Leonidas was not given any negative energy by an outside source (unless you count Vladitor sacrificing himself to revive Leonidas, at which point theoretically he does, but it doesn't change him), nor was the doom dimension, beyond the natural amount an attributed bakugan appears to naturally have (unconfirmedly appears to be stronger within the ventus-subterra-darkus triad.)

Addendum 1

Amelia, daughter of Ajani and Seraphina Goldmane, stood in front of the giant holding tank in which Sheoldred, the former black Praetor of New Phyrexia, hung.

Along the praetor’s back were a series of wires and crystal electrodes that allowed them to hack into her mind and pull out various information, while at each shoulder joint and at her waist were various tubes that fed her a mixture of nutrients and a weak solution of Halo to keep her alive but subdued.

“Amy?”

She looked over her shoulder at Urabrask, now a crimson dragonoid from a process that separated everything Urabrask from Phyrexia, and raised her eyebrows.

“What is this?” He asked, holding up a bright red fruit.

“It’s an apple. Why? Is everything okay?” She asked.

He nodded, “Yes. It’s just… amazing.”

“They’re good but I wouldn’t say they’re amazing.” Amelia replied.

Urabrask rolled his eyes and stood up from the console to let her pass, “Says the person who’s eaten them all their life. Remember, this is new to me,” he took another bite, “mmmph! Cold, crunchy, sweet, juicy.” He took another bite and wiped his mouth on his sleeve, “Sorry.”

Amelia stood at the door and watched him savor every bite and sip from his lunch. Cheese, bread, an apple and milk. Simple food, and yet his meals took an hour or more to finish. He asked questions, made suggestions, wanted to know what else there was.

“Can I have some of the cheese?” she asked.

Urabrask broke off a chunk, “What did the humans call this? Cheedair?”

“Cheddar, but close enough,” she took a bite and closed her eyes; she spent a food minute just turning the flavor over on her tongue, “this is really good.”

“Right?!” he broke a piece of his apple off and handed it to her.

“I never really paid attention to it.” She said.

“I’m learning the living do that a LOT.” Urabrask said.

“Hmm?”

“Take things for granted.” Urabrask said, sitting back down, “even before I became one of you, I noticed a lot of Mirrodinians hadn’t expected this to happen or that they could fight to reclaim their world. Not sure how much is left of it at this point.”

Amelia paused mid chew; she’d taken a lot of things for granted yes, like… a flash of her father crushing her against his chest in a bone popping bear hug that squeezed any doubt he didn’t love her from her body… and she felt her body tense.

He’s safe, he’s safe, he’s… she let out a sob as tears spilled from her eyes.

“Amelia?” Urabrask said, setting his apple down and walking over to her.

“I’m alright. I just… I took my dad’s hugs for granted. I didn’t think I might lose him this soon…” she whispered.

Urabrask sighed, “No one does. I can only imagine how horrible it is to suddenly not have a loved one with you. It explains why the living fear death so much.”

Amelia shook her head, “It was worse; becoming Phyrexian, becoming a sleeper agent… everything that he was, everything he believed in and practiced was just… gone. And yet… he’s still up and around? Like it’s watching someone being raised by a necromancer, but they’re not rotting. It’s still them just… argh!” She said.

“A mockery of who they are.” Urabrask said.

Amelia nodded, and then looked into the praetor’s eyes, “You understood that. I think that’s why the process left so little of phyrexia in the other tank: most of it was you.”

Urabrask snorted, “I think there’s more to it than that but…”

“I mean you’re less like the rest of Phyrexia. Still powerful, dangerous… but the form you’re in now.” She looked him up and down, “this is what Phyrexia could have been had Yawgmoth not been psychotic.”

Urabrask blinked, “Um… not… sure how I should take that.”

Amelia laughed, “I know. It was supposed to come out as a compliment I guess? You’re what Phyrexia could become without the dogmatic oppression and suppression of free will; something better.”

Urabrask swallowed, “O-okay. Um…” Urabrask lowered his chin and she could tell his face was a darker shade of red, “Thank you Amelia.”

(a scene i thought of but cant see putting in the main story)

[morallygreyvigilante]

As some of you may already know, I’ve been a fan of Bakugan for a long time now. It was the very first anime series that I ever watched and is easily among the top 3 shows I enjoyed watching as a kid. As such, while I will admit that the show had some obvious flaws and one or two flimsy plot devices, it can be difficult for me to find anything to actively criticize about it.

One thing I have heard a few people mention in relation to the flimsy plot devices is the sheer number of times Drago evolved over the course of the series which is something I wanted to talk about, not necessarily just about Drago, but the evolution mechanic as a whole.

I don’t really have a structure for this so sorry if it’s a bit of a mess, but anyway...

Before I get into the in-universe mechanics of the whole evolution thing I wanted to start with the boring production side of things. Bakugan was (and still is with the release of the reboot, which I won’t be discussing) a merchandise-driven show. Since the show itself is aimed at younger audiences, this is to be expected, kids like toys and the Bakugan in the show were perfect to base toys off (or to advertise them, depending on how you want to view it).

So, what do you do if you want to base most (if not all) of the merchandising on creatures like the Bakugan? You create a load of them, and one good way of doing that is to use an evolution mechanic since it allows for variety without having to design another creature from scratch. And, since Drago is the main non-human character in the series, it makes sense that he would be merchandised (and, by extension, evolved) the most.

Right, with that out of the way, I can focus on the fun part. How does the evolution mechanic in the series actually work?

I have this show all the way through at least 5 times, however it has been a while since I last sat down to watch it so some parts of this might not be entirely accurate. But I’m confident enough with what I remember that most of this should line up.

Now, I should probably mention the Bakugan I will be discussing in this post. I will be talking about the Bakugan that were partnered with the original Battle Brawlers (with a particular focus on Preyas and Drago), the Resistance Bakugan as a collective, Dharak, and Helios. I won’t be discussing the mechanical Bakugan since they had no evolution process to speak of.

The various Bakugan who have served as part of the main cast over the course of the series have evolved in multiple different ways, either through (what I’m assuming to be) a natural process, or through outside interference.

In season 1, only 1 Bakugan evolved via what I assume to be the natural way, that being Drago. I won’t be discussing Drago too much at this stage since I want to talk about his evolutions as part of their own section, but from what I remember, his first evolution was - arguably - the only time Drago actually evolved without outside interference with the intention of triggering one.

Other Bakugan in season 1 evolved only after they had visited the Doom Dimension. Their evolutions were triggered by the six ancient warriors of Vestroia, after the Bakugan (and their brawling partners) had overcome certain trials that had been designed for them. Could it have been possible for them to evolve without the trials? Yes, considering Drago had managed an evolution of his own before then. Could they have evolved more times? Potentially, the evolution process was never really explained in depth so it’s unclear as to whether there actually is a limit to how many times a Bakugan can evolve.

One Bakugan evolution in season 1 that I found particularly interesting was Preyas. From what we’ve seen over the course of the show, when a Bakugan evolves, their appearance changes to match the boost in power. Preyas, however, did not. Instead, when Preyas evolved he retained his original appearance (though I can’t remember whether or not his power level changed) and instead duplicated into Preyas Angelo/Diablo. This raises some questions about his evolution process in particular. Would it be possible for Preyas to evolve a second time? Or would it be Angelo/Diablo that continues the evolution process if that is at all possible for them? And, the question that I find the most interesting, what would a third evolution look like for Preyas?

Preyas is an attribute-changer, while his default attribute is Aquos (this seems to be a common theme with attribute-changing Bakugan, barring Nemus) he can make use of the other attributes when it is deemed necessary. As such, it isn’t surprising that Angelo and Diablo also possess an affinity for a second attribute (Haos for Angelo, and Pyrus for Diablo). Would another evolution have an affinity for even more attributes? Or would it be exactly like Angelo/Diablo, except with a different attribute affinity? Something to think about.

In season 2, the six ancient warrior Bakugan are - once again - involved in the evolution process of the resistance Bakugan. Except, instead of giving the resistance Bakugan a trial to complete, the evolutions were instead triggered by the Bakugan being given the attribute energy that warriors held in an attempt to protect it. This evolution process was not natural and it follows a similar pattern to season 1 so I won’t linger on it.

One Bakugan that I found particularly interesting in season 2 was Helios. Helios is a dragonoid Bakugan just like Drago, however that’s where the similarities end. It’s fairly obvious that despite them being the same type of Bakugan, their evolutionary chains were very different. While Helios’s heavily involved outside interference, I highly doubt it would have been similar to Drago’s regardless since, again, other than both being classed as dragonoids they aren’t the same Bakugan.

Now, Helios’s evolution process in season 2 is difficult to label as an evolution process since it was largely manufactured in a similar fashion to the mechanical Bakugan, rather than an actual evolution triggered by Helios himself or another entity such as the six ancient warriors or Code Eve (which I will discuss more later). However, both of his cyborg forms were treated as such and so they deserved a mention. The part of his evolution that I particularly wanted to talk about was his evolution into Infinity Helios during season 4. His final evolution (as far as we know anyway) is the only instance where an evolution caused a Bakugan to permanently switch attributes. Other than a brief flashback, we don’t really get to see the evolution take place, but it’s interesting that his attribute changed entirely. Attribute-changers such as Preyas only ever changed their attributes temporarily during a brawl, never for very long, and they always return to their base-attribute once the brawl has ended. This makes me wonder whether there were other Bakugan in the series who had similar evolution requirements that we never got the chance to see.

In terms of evolution, the only Bakugan of season 3 (other than Drago) that I can really talk about is Dharak. Initially, Dharak seemed to be a dragonoid Bakugan similar to Drago and Helios (though his initial four-legged stance reminds me more of Hydranoid’s original form). It is later revealed that he is a descendant of the Bakugan Dharaknoid, meaning that he is not technically a dragonoid Bakugan (depending on how you choose to view the link between Dharaknoid and Genesis Dragonoid). However, his power level was supposedly meant to be equal to Drago’s and when it wasn’t, his DNA sequence was purposefully tampered with to trigger his evolution into Phantom Dharak. There isn’t really much to be said about his evolution since he had the same appearance change and power level boost as every evolved Bakugan, but it wasn’t exactly a natural evolution.

Dharak also evolved into Razenoid after a failed attempt to absorb the power of Code Eve.

All of this brings me to the final Bakugan I wanted to discuss, Drago. As I previously mentioned, Drago is the main Bakugan of the series so it’s to be expected that he would undergo a few evolutions over the course of the series. But why exactly did he evolve so many times?

Drago’s first evolution into Delta Dragonoid was arguably the only time Drago evolved naturally. The evolution itself was alluded to a few times before it actually happened, this involved seemingly random power level surges during brawls and he was noted as being hot to the touch when in ball form at least once. Now, Drago didn’t seem aware that he was evolving until it actually happened, but the concept wasn’t one that he seemed confused by. This evolution was not influenced by by external factors which begs the question, how many times would Drago have evolved without outside interference? I don’t think we’ll ever really get an answer.

His evolution into Ultimate Dragonoid followed the same conditions as the other Battle Brawlers’ Bakugan in season 1 so I’m not going to linger on it.

Drago’s third evolution into Infinity Dragonoid was triggered only after he’d absorbed the Infinity Core. This evolution allowed him to access abilities which could typically only be used by other attributes which automatically makes it one of, if not, the strongest of his evolutions in the entire series. This isn’t entirely surprising since he was holding one of the cores that were responsible for all of Vestroia. He maintained this form when he claimed the Silent Core so the power boost he gained from that is unclear.

Neo Dragonoid (while technically being his fourth evolution) was more of a downgrade which is understandable considering it involved him being seperated from the Perfect Core and its power by extension. He was still able to occasionally tap into and use the energy stored in the core, though the true extent of how much he was able to use at any one time is unclear. He was also temporarily turned into Vexos Dragonoid during this stage however that form wasn’t technically an evolution so I’m not going to discuss it.

His fifth evolution, Cross Dragonoid followed the same conditions as the other Resistance Bakugan in season 2 so I’m not going to linger on it.

Drago evolved into Helix Dragonoid after absorbing the attribute energy stored in the Bakugan Termination System. Despite absorbing the energy of all six attributes, he remained a Pyrus Bakugan and wasn’t able to use abilities of the other attributes which seems strange.

His seventh evolution into Lumino Dragonoid was triggered when he was given The Element in an attempt to protect it from the Gundalians.

He was forced to evolve again into Blitz Dragonoid after defeating Dragonoid Colossus.

His ninth evolution into Titanium Dragonoid occured after gaining the powers of Code Eve. It was this evolution that Drago seemed to struggle with the most since Dharak had been absorbed by Code Eve before he’d been granted the power which led to him experiencing multiple issues which were only really fixed when he evolved for the tenth (and final) time. It is also this evolutionary stage where Drago starts being able to call upon a Mechtagon, though that doesn’t seem to be a specific feature of his evolution considering other Bakugan are able to do the same.

Drago evolved into Fusion Dragonoid using the power of the Gate and Key during the final battle against Mag Mel and Razenoid (formerly Barodius and Dharak).

Overall, many of Drago’s evolutions were not caused naturally. How many times would he have evolved if there had been no outside interference? It’s hard to say.

Many shows, games, etc... that use evolution mechanics typically only allow creatures to evolve twice, so I imagine the same could potentially be true here. However, we never really get in-universe confirmation that a Bakugan has reached its final evolution, sure it’s hinted at occasionally, but if there is a specified limit, it’s not one that show ever tells us.

Miyoko and Shinjiro casually having a shotgun or some kind of weapon under the table whenever someone wants to harm their kid. Drago barely evolves because Dan's parents always make sure Dan gets to sleep on time and isn't busy with too many things during school days

can you imagine dan makes it all the way to ms and drago is still delta dragonoid? unreal.

[kalahannikolai]

For some reason, when reading the Enchanted Forest chronicles my brain had weird mental image habits. Like, I have a pretty vivid imagination, so one would think that imagining the characters as described would be easy. But Kazul, the dragon Cimorene befriends?

For some reason, my brain decided to imagine her like this and I could never shed it:

Yes, that’s right, my brain decided that Kazul looked like Delta Dragonoid from Bakugan and would not let me imagine her any other way. Despite the fact that I know full well that it could’ve, lol.

Just a fascinating useless piece of trivia about Kal.
