I still have that game

Ok but how do you win that last lv

@@Aaron-wq3jz miss the first throw. He will land on the card and then throw. This way he won't take away your points

Esteban Maysonet that game was the best

Man that fight frustrated me to no end as a kid.

WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS!?

i'm so mad thats so cute i wish i had of thought of doing that when i was a kid :(

Thats advanced oh my god

I took my mom’s mp3 holder and just stuck them inside and clipped it to my belt 😂

I loved doing that! Those were the days.

@Drive Check. yep

@Drive Check. I liked the dub in the first season but I liked the sub for 2nd season.

how the fuck can you enjoy that ? Dan was both the creater of the rules for something that he didn't make. Something that kept on falling from the sky. He also was the CLUELESS ANIME PROTAG WHO HAD TO GET EVERYTHING EXPLAINED TO HIM. How can you create something you have no control over while also being clueless about everything ? I understand that you liked the concept, like a game dev not being a great gamer. But the execution was horrible.

It's a crime how little he was used after season 1

@Yann Dylan “Hydranoid is underused.” Reaper: Am I a joke to you?

And that scream when he was played on the field damn

Alpha hydranoid is the most chad bakugan. Just for the chainsaw belly alone

i have the bakugan, it pretty cool. it has a nice weight to it cause of the metal strip

Oof! Cancer strikes again

Cancer the ultimate plot device

Ibrahim Abukar It's true

Nitwit's World Ikr

ArtistAnthony9 same. Back then it was so sad and it still is. You can find it on KZfaq just type in Shun's mom death or something like that

and they're literally balls

World building wise Monsuno and Bakugan are pretty neat, gameplay wise Monsuno is absolute garbage and the Bakugan reboot Battle Planet is [Magic: The Cloning].

Not so cringy that the new Bakugan.

Dan and rest of the characters weren't that different from Beyblade V-Force/G-Revolution.

I loved bakugan back then. Wish I could say the same with the reboot

But how is Bakugan an anime? It was made in the US/Canada. That'd be like calling Last Airbender an anime

@@B0K0691 It was originally produced in Japan and the first season originally aired in Japan and its after this first season that I started watching anime. It was my gateway anime.

Pretty original by the time that a female member of the Protagonist gang was the villain all this time. It shocked me when i watch that it was Alice.

@@Juanjose-tm4qp Ngl i speculated that Alice is in some sort connected to Masquerade. My friends didnt believe me since she was a girl and the antagonist was a boy, it also didnt helped since we were young and was still taking sex-ed (we were still 13 at the time) so some of my friends ruled my speculation out. Tbh my hunch came from two things, the first was my gut feeling. Ive been watching anime, playing games and reading manga and comic books since i was 4 years old so some sort of potential plot twist detector has been ingrained into me at a young age. The second was from promotions that you can see Dan and the gang each with a partner bakugan with their respective element but one stood out the most, Alice who was said lorewise to have made the game along side the other five but didnt have a partner much less played. Add to it that Masquerade was a darkus user and the only element Dan and his friends didnt have was said element which would potentially be Alice's element if she played bakugan like the rest of the gang.

@@edboy5418 "was said lorewise to have made the game along side the other five but didnt have a partner much less played" I think the actual story proved that to be a load of bunk. I mean Dan hadn't even heard of Sub-Terra in the first episode, which is also incredibly odd because he personally knows Julie but the fact of the matter is he was far too incompetent to have been one of the ones who made the game... Also Alice didn't even play the game, that always struck me as very strange. How can she be a battle brawler without doing either of those things? How could have she been one of the ones who made the game yet have no bakugan at all?

@@mattwo7 Thats the thing. Why were the six of them called that while Alice was the only one not playing. It struct to me as odd and by what i said i should have clarified it with them being the ones who made the rules for the game.

Was pretty good she was like the strongest female ever unfortunately her good side is weaker

oh yeah i hated that too. it kinda made sense in season 2. but after it was just "did your previous partner mean nothing to you?"

@@ghoulchan7525 exactly. And "why does this new partner mean SO MUCH to you??"

@@joelbrich2538 and Dan kept draco but Draco looked a bit different each time.

@@ceshmate1953 Metamorphosis does that to you.

2nd season made sense of it, and Marucho still used Preyas in the end, but 3rd and 4th seasons? Yeah, they fxxked up

They dated? First I’ve ever heard of that one

Mustache D. Luffy Yes it was at the very end of the first season. There is a small scene in which Dan picks up Runo for a date. It’s really cute. However, the only down side is that they don’t explore their relationship in future seasons outside of a few one off moments in episodes.

Matt Murray I remember that! My stupid fangirl heart ate that up. It frankly pissed me off when she didn’t even show up in season 3 and was only in seasons 2 and 4 as background noise

They were? I remember watching it but I don't remember them becoming older

@@guythat779 they get older each series

I was the kid waiting for Dan and runo to become a thing, but nothing happened

Yeah. I believe Dan is 12 in battle brawlers and 15 in new vestoria

i don't think he aged after that tho. or they didn't mention it. cuz in mectanium surge he woulda been something like 17 or older and he didn't look or act like he had aged between new vestroia and then.

Great movie subtitle

That singer did not need to go that hard for a children's anime about throwing sentient marbles around, but goddamn am I glad he did.

Bruhhh ik season 2 hurt me hard man they didnt deserve to go there

Epic Fury_101 Lync especially because he was SECONDS away from joining Alice and the Brawlers and that killed me. I was definitely rooting for him in that battle!

Chamber I was rooting for Lynx because I knew he had a thing for Alice. And then what does he do? Homeboy dies on her.

Well, Volt actually won his fight with Hydron, Hydron was just a sore loser and dragged him into whatever it was anyway.

Rob Macher Youre right, I forgot about that. That made me even more angry

I was in ELEMENTARY. This shit was my life! I remember going to school with my bakugan all the time. Not so much to play the game but to collect and trade.

Super Booster Boy I remember watching this show before going to ELEMENTARY, at 6:30 and God damn it was worth it! It was an awesome show.

Midnight 49 Why the hell were you up so early? What time does school start were you are?

Jack Vornwald I was in kindergarten

@@midnight4956 me too

100%. the main villain was part of the Brawlers with a hella powerful bakugan and she somehow gets sidelined?

@@cyborgcuttlefish6326they sidelined half the main cast from Season 1, notably all the girls. It was a real shame because part of the appeal of the first season was the dynamics between the characters. Writing out half of them sucked out a lot of what made the show special.

bakugan was weird XD billiam

The virgin Battle Brawlers Vs The Chad Jojo bizarre adventure

Diamondbolt wants to know your location

Bakugan is just Pokemon

@@SpectrumAssociates not really, the video it self explaied that you known...

it died to suddenly! i remember in like 2010 they released an online game and it shut down in 2011 after only a year

Bakugan was a lot cooler and more mature (for a kids toy tv show) which helped it gain popularity when Pokémon was dying out of fashion Like after 10 years or so of the original games release (mid 2000s or so) people were getting sick of Pokémon and growing up out of it, only now do we see a Pokémon Renaissance and shows Like bakugan/beybalde were a lot more appealing in my eyes compared to Pokémon

@@MustacheDLuffy Pokémon never died as a franchise though it's literally the highest grossing media franchise of all time.

@@PeterGriffin11 Pokemon had a dark age in between poke-fever and Pokémon go. If you were a fan during that time you’d realize how uncool it was to like Pokémon at the time. Games still sold well but the hype died down

I think one of the big reasons that Bakugan hit it big quickly and then died off is because the anime was more structured than Pokémon’s. Its story was more exciting and thought-provoking than Pokémon’s, but it had a natural end point. Pokémon has a more open story and world to play around in, so it has more staying power. It’s the same reason Digimon was super popular for a while but ended after a few years.

Same

he was too, this guy was 4

saaaame here, loved it!

I fuckin loved it, my elementary school banned them and we had to start a "black market bakugan trading ring"

Sam Hobart bro SAME.

I was pretty sure you were a girl solely because shun was the fangirl character of the show Bullying? How and why did you get bullied for liking bakugan? (I still have my Baku-merch tho)

Mustache D. Luffy I’m pretty sure I just lived in an unaccepting community, and other kids didn’t like me that much to begin with.

That sucks. Bakugan was huge when it first came out, like everyone had those toys and I remember having bakugan fights with other people (my brother is still upset I lost the exedra and centipoid characters that we received, I am too D:), but I didn’t get bullied for it but was rather encouraged

This show was good when it came out. This did better than Blue Dragon in my opinion.

Power100 If you're talking about popularity, Blue Dragon did not take off at all. I didn't hear about it till 2010-ish and most casual anime watchers in the west won't really know about it

That's one thing I loved about it. Dan lost bunch of times. And each time the loss was pretty heavy. He did not have heavy plot armor unlike a lot of anime protags

X Scythe 4 kids I know you’re hiding

Yup even as a kid I knew something was off

Well they covered it an about 7 different autotune programs which is ugggggggh killl me

& he HATED his role & didn’t get the original, imagine what he thinks of the reboot?

@@Barakon if he hated it so much why didn't he quit?

​@@ghoulchan7525probably good pay,

@@ghoulchan7525He needed a job to pay bills.

The logic behind this in the show is essentially the same as in the actual card game. Notice that Kaiba isn't surprised because Exodia is super rare, he says (paraphrasing) "Impossible! No one has been able to *summon* him!" That's because it's super impractical to have your one win condition be drawing into 5 specific cards with no support to help get them out. You'd have to go out of your way to make a deck dedicated to stalling your opponent and drawing cards, which likely wouldn't go well against most well structured decks. And that's why no one really runs Exodia, both in the show and in real life.

@@Jason_Ultimate ok but pot of greed is legal in the anime so your point is invalid check mate

@@justanothercommenterwithan9089 It's really not. Even with 3 Pot of Greeds, with a 30+ card deck you're not that likely to find all 5 pieces very quickly. There are still other cards besides Pot of Greed that let you draw as well. They could just run Heart of the Underdog. Plus there's also the matter of hand destruction effects that would screw with it on top of that.

@@Jason_Ultimate that's not even mentioning shit like mill decks or plays done with maxx c

I had a Darkus Fear Ripper with 450g's as my very first Bakugan ever. I was so stoked I found one that strong. I legit felt like Masquerade with Hydranoid. Course it helps that me and my friends completely ignored the official rules of the game and played by the show's rules and with the show's ability cards. I watched every episode repeatedly, recorded all the names and effects of each ability I saw, and we played using those instead of the boring shit the company put out.

Joel Gawne I feel so pathetic thinking how I was back then. Nobody followed the rules ever they became action figures 😂

My first one was actually a Ventus Fear Ripper! And I think had about the same amount of g's as well!

@@StarboyXL9 That is so incredibly cool. None of my friends were into bakugan and i was too dumb of a kid to play properly so i never learned the rules until i was 12 or older

He starts winning more and more in seasons 2 and 3... and then goes back to losing in season 4.

@@aminadabbrulle8252 pretty much

@@aminadabbrulle8252 Not because he gets weaker, his enemies get stronger.

He ends becoming the best anyways.

@@gavinsmith9871 In my humble opinion, it's because the game itself matters less and less the further into the plot we are. Like, for example, Ren losing to Fabia in season 3 episode 26 should not happen, if one does count the numbers that are convieniently not displayed on the screen.

i had to beg my parents to let me watch the show since they also thought it was too violent, the agreement was that it was the only show like this i was able to watch (i wasnt even allowed to watch pokemon)

@@drazzie22 really? I would have thought pokemon would be easier to convince them it wasn't violent since a lot of them are cuter and cuddly-er...

@@insertclevernamehere1186 probably, but since bakugan was much more popular and new at the time, i was more interested in that one

@@drazzie22 fair enough

Ah, the classic over-protectiveness. One of the best ways to get your childhood screwed up is by having over-protective parents who also have no idea of what the hell they're doing. I remember watching it at the time when my life wasn't a nightmare.

Yellow Charmander My younger brother had a bakugan bed sheet but it's torn now

I think she died of cancer, which is literally the worst plot device

@@B0K0691 maybe in different scenarios, but how is it important in this case. The point in this case wasn't what she died from, but rather that shun didn't visit her in the last minutes before her death because he was playing bakugan. Btw. Didn't think i'd find an Inazuma11 fan out in the wild

@@infinitezero7457 oh word, have you checked out my vid? How do you know I am one?

Pushea up glasses. Actually shun was playing bakugan in the vain attempt to slow down his mothers death.

@@fightingmedialounge519 K.

Is it on fanfiction.net?

My 450g Fear Ripper might have something to say about that lol

Joel Gawne *OH CHRIST* xD I was never lucky enough to pull Hydranoid, especially since my parents were picky on what I could buy.

I really do miss leonidas

Kazuma DoubleIce leonidas was the best. Wish the game that came after was a sequel to that.

@@karystmania5509 Yeah I did as well to bad that it wasent,

I love that game! Hell I still have it! I just can't find anyone IRL to play it with. If they made it an online game with multiplayer pvp that would be awesome, so long as it was the original game and they didn't change the rules/mechanics or something. Dammit now I gave myself nostalgia

As a person who still owns and regularly plays the game, if they remade it for the Switch I would just DIE of joy.

I did but I barely had any. Least the new version made the cards far more relevant.

Wait, there were cards?

Exactly literally threw it and bakugaun brawl

We played with all the cards and even used the color coordination rules too

We did but we allowed as many as you wanted on the field so the field would just be a mass of cards

Matti -Bonne I think it's because they have to play it safe. They're probably wasn't a lot of funding and with today's over sensitive parents they probably couldn't get away with actual consequences of characters actions or real stakes.

Dan has a overly cringey voice but DRAGOs & Helios Eng VA is god tier. Just stop at s2

Which bakugan game?

I still have it on PS3. Wanna come over and play?

well you can buy new ones too! Not to mention Ultras are very highly detailed, but are extremely hard to close without practice. My goal is to buy Darkus Draganoid Ultra, which may not be in shops yet, but I did saw a character card of him.

how did Drago died tho?

@@D-PauloYT Drago restored Vestroia since his body contained the new core, thus became the center by sacrificing himself. To avoid heartbreak, Drago didn't tell Dan what he was going to do when the Bakugan were leaving. During the Epilogue, Dan thought he saw Drago for a moment, and heard his voice wishing him well, and thought nothing of it.

Realistic, not wierd. Having created the game only gives monster knowledge, and that can only go so far.

Seriously, Darkus Leonidas easily top 5 best bakugans

Best child show I watched. Probably on par with Ben 10. Bakugan S1 and 2 were incredible.

@@HM-wn2in The second half of season 2 sucked though
