Pyrus Avior with Explosix, Battle Sabre, Zukanator, Demolitor, deka Jetkor and deka Destrakon

It was a good day to be out and about, picked up the pyrus dan evo set.

They needed some minor repair, Dragonoid and Apollonir got new magnets, and Neo Dragonoid had a spring reset, now they function as if they're new again!

One grail down for me, now for the rest of the evo packs!

Shun only used 4 different flying Bakugan throughout Season 1. Skyress, Ravenoid, Monarus, and Falconeer. 4 different combinations where 1 is not used.

Prior to having a Guardian Bakugan Skyress. Shun only used Ravenoid, Falconeer, and Monarus as seen in the flashback episode of 12.

When Shun battle Runo and Marcuho in episode 11. He use Skyress, Falconeer, and Ravenoid.

When Shun battle Dan and turned on Masquerade in episode 13. He use Skyress, Monarus, and Falconeer. This is the last time Shun used Falconeer likely since he only had 1 that got sent to the Doom Dimension.

In Shun's next 3 battles in Episode 15, 20, and 31. He use Skyress, Monarus, and Ravenoid. I do say is the best one since Shun did perfectly defeat Komba without losing any to the Doom Dimension and made used with all 3 with the Reload Gate Card.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share Bakugan: Vestroia Chronicles, a fan game I’m working on based on New Vestroia.

It’s a pixel-art story adventure inspired by GBA-era games, with familiar characters, exploration, and battles using Gate Cards and Ability Cards. The trailer shows footage from the current build. It’s still in development, and I’d love to know whether this is something you’d want to play.

What would you like to see more of in the next video - exploration or the battle system?

You can follow development on Discord: https://discord.gg/3jQHd85zx. If you’d like to help with pixel art, animation, or playtesting, feel free to reach out.

Hi. I've been upscaling Bakugan episodes for a while and trying other ways to do that. I need to know what you think about an issue in a new method, if it's even an issue.

Method 1 is the one I'm currently using, and 2 is new. In the second one, the lines became even thinner, but it seems like they are... too dark? Like they stand out too much. Whereas in the old method, even though the lines are a bit thicker, their color is closer to the ones around them, and they don't stand out as much.

Do you think the lines are a problem, or is it just my imagination?

If you see visual artifacts in the 1st method, pretend they are not there, I'm fixing them in AE later on. Just the lines. Thank you.

Basically I am defending my ideas against a lot of the negativity surrounding Fusion Dragonoid.

We’ve all heard it. Maybe we even think it. Titanium drago was way better in its presentation. and this is true I would say. But I think due to that being such a popular bandwagon cold take, Fusion has gotten way more hate than it deserves. So let’s start here:

#1 - Design

#2 - Power/Presentation

#1: Design - Gotta address this. The stupid first picture in the thumbnail. Idk why this seems to be the only high def full body image you can find of Fusion Drago with just a quick search, but it is. And it’s fan-made. His proportions are off, he looks kinda derpy, his legs and face look and are shaped weirdly. His wings are strange and his chest piece is incorrect. What Fusion Dragonoid actually looks like is in the following pictures.

In my opinion, I always felt that the humanoid line really followed a theme. Helix looks like base Drago with a humanoid form. Lumino makes him look like a Knight. Blitz makes him look like a Level 100 Knight. Titanium makes him look like a successful and highly decorated Knight post-war. Fusion makes him look like a King. With the crown-like chest piece, and it being the only evolution to extend Drago’s golden headpiece across his whole head like a crown. As a kid, Fusion Drago’s design really screamed “King of all Bakugan“ to me.

#2 - Power / Presentation

Two main things to say about this:

1 - Fusion Dragonoid as far as we ever saw or knew, only ever used his full power against Evolved Razenoid. In that fight, Drago said “let’s show them our full power” before launching a blast we never saw again. In the Betadron fight, there’s no indication that Drago is using his full power. He actually actively doesn’t want to fight Betadron and is trying to talk him out of it for a large majority of the fight. It was also said by Dan during the fight: “what’s going on, Drago should have way more power than him.” Guntz says this is due to two things: 1. a hatred amp, and 2. Betadron and Guntz continually remark that Dan and Drago simply don’t want the win that badly. They’re both doing this out of a reluctant necessity more than anything. Drago is fighting Betadron at first with the attitude of “I don’t really see the reason for this fight” and then upon realizing Betadron is determined and bloodlusted, decides “okay fine, I’ll just have to put this guy in his place.” And they win, with Drago fine and Betadron on the floor. Drago reluctantly fought Betadron and won, unharmed afterwards, with no sign of exhaustion or battle damage. All of this to say, Evolved Razenoid is likely >>>> Betadron (even moreso considering it’s a plot point that Drago and Razenoid (mutated Dharak) are simply the two strongest Bakugan in existence.

2 - Fusion Drago’s power generally presented itself through Dragonoid Destroyer in MS2. Summoning a Mechtogan Destroyer is something no other being in the series on their own ever did. Dragonoid Destroyer is an extension of Drago (and Dan’s) power. As such, Dragonoid Destroyer was treated as MS2’s “Drago Trump Card” rather than an ability. Now, is this lame? Yeah kinda. But Drago is still the strongest bakugan in existence bar none, with nobody other than Razenoid even coming close. Mechtogan are just a different beast who happened to become the main focus of MS2.

Addressing Other Claims against Fusion I see:

“Titanium Dragonoid did better against mechtogan than Fusion.”

This is not actually true. Titanium used his higher tier abilities to take down mechtogan significantly weaker than the 4 main mechtogan from MS2. And Fusion Drago was capable of taking those guys down with his weakest abilities like Dragon Thrasher. Coredegon was only one who tanked his attacks, which Drago couldn't believe, and Coredegon replies “I’m not your average Mechtogan.” The doom dimension mechtogan were mutated and far more powerful than mechtogan of the past. Coredegon was effectively the final villain of the series and clearly intended to be essentially the strongest mechtogan in the series as well. After Drago’s attacks didn’t knock down Coredegon, before Drago even uses another move on Coredegon, him and Dan power up and summon the literal most powerful thing in the entire series, Dragonoid Destroyer, who as discussed before, is effectively just an extension/culmination of Fusion Drago’s own power and bond with Dan.

“Why did Drago have to fuse / use suits or summon even Dragonoid Destroyer to defeat some of the Nonets and their fusions?”

I don’t see why this is problematic. Drago isn’t Goku. He isn’t trying to win every fight on his own nor does he desire ultimate power. The fused nonets were a threat. Dragonoid destroyer was by far the easiest way to deal with nearly every threat efficiently and even allow others like Reptak to assist. Drago isn’t the type to ever really say “everyone step aside I’ll take him on with my own power and hold back too.” He usually says “this is a threat and we will eliminate it as efficiently as possible, whatever that entails.” All of his 1v1 fights start because he needs to protect/defend something, is forced to by circumstance, or because the villains want to be Goku and challenge the strongest guy (Drago). Regardless, Drago literally defeats Betadron, the strongest nonet, fair and square, and was fine afterward as covered already. I’m sure Drago *could* have dealt with the fused nonets, but he didn’t have to. He had friends nearby and had a mechtogan destroyer he could summon down with zero drawbacks basically whenever. 

Final Point:

At the end of MS1, Wonder Superior failed 3 times against Evolved Razenoid, and Dragon Maximum Striker did nothing as well. Drago and Dan fully accepted and mastered Code Eve’s gift (The Gate & Key), which triggered his evolution into Fusion Dragonoid, giving him full control of his power, and allowing him to defeat Razenoid with a single full power attack. After this fight, Fusion Drago was essentially never pushed that far again by any Bakugan. Not even the mechtogan could, with the exception of the mutated Coredegon and then obviously Mechtavius Destroyer. Drago and Dan immediately respond to being pushed like this by creating their own damn Mechtogan Destroyer which ended up ultimately being the strongest thing in the whole series.

Verdict: Fusion Drago is the goat, and MS2 just chose the wrong direction and focus. MS1 should have been the whole season or it should have stopped after MS1 alltogether l, with Fusion basically getting its best 3 minutes of screen time and one-shotting Razenoid as the series finale.

Recently found my old Bakugan case from when I was a kid and found my group of Oberus. This one used to be my favourite but after my haos one got stolen + some others on the playground, I put them in a closet and haven't seen them again since today!

I was able to reclaim my lost haos oberus through a kind seller and have now been wondering if there is a Pyrus version of Oberus? I vaguely remember looking for it as a kid but can't find anything online.

Reason I am sceptical about my Google searches is that a wiki also didn't list the haos version as Existing. Anyone here know if there is a Pyrus or red version of this specific Bakugan?

JIBA DECK BTD-10

Hi everyone, i'm currently looking for saint nemus 3d file. Any suggest guys? It is the only one left for me to complete the vestroia main cast.

The first season of Bakugan was genuinely well written NGL, and the characters have good development to them as well. Second season is also decent, but nowhere close to the quality of the first season.

Used to be a part of a hair tie but it fell off and I forgor to put it back on.

I decided I’d move my b1’s to a single location so that I’d find them much easier without having to go to 3-4 different containers. The only 2 not in this are my subterra centipoid and my pearl ventus skyress as those 2 hold sentimental value so they have a special box. The open space next to tigrerra is for my haos griffin which I’m doing some maintenance on. Also the subterra rubanoid isn’t a JP bakugan I just really love that rubanoid and want it secured safely.

I 3D printed a Leonidas a while back with the widely used free model from thingiverse/makerworld. However, I do not have a resin printer, so my Leonidas has a lot of flaws and won’t close correctly (used ABS). I want to redo him but not waste a bunch of time again. Any tips?

I know there isn’t a clear distinction between the two. Mostly talking about new Bakugan that follow the philosophy of the Gen 1s. Lower half of the ball stays as a sphere (or has manually moved legs/appendages). Have a simple/straightforward design, the head in the middle, with two/three big parts opening up, etc. Basically, Bakugan that continue to look like a sphere after opening up. The 2018 drago, for example, has the entire bottom being his legs opening and his tail reaching down, and I did not really like that. I feel like they put too much effort into changing how they look once transformed, as if they were transformers, and I think the point of Bakugan was them always looking like a sphere, even after opening up. I am sorry if this is confusing or too far fetched, I just want to get some Bakugan that look like the first ones. Thank you in advance!

Got ability card templates on deviantart and the gate cards from Reddit. I used an editing software and printed all of these. I know the anime makes the bakugan shadowy, but I liked having the full color :)

anyone knows how to extract the images from the .ai archives?, I'd like to have the images but I have no idea how to do it, anyone knows?

Thank you leak for giving me a beautiful New Vestroia background :)

Jack did sone tremendous work. Big props to the fella!

It was legit the go to channel to watch bakugan on and the quality was pretty good. Mannnnn......

Still cant believe the channel is gone. It's not just that the episodes are gone but the comments are gone too. Whenever watching the episodes It'd be cool to see my old comments there. The comments added history if you will to the episodes.

The channel was fine for 15 years and then they deced to shut it down smh.
