New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 5: Tri-Twister Take Down

Dan's out of brawling.. at least for this episode. After a fight with Shun and Marucho, he goes lone wolf mode but he does see the wisdom of Shun and Marucho's suggestion to stop brawling for a while. Now if only they could just talk again and patch things up. Their friendship is a little wobbly at this stage.

While I'm not happy with the results of the latest battle in the episode, I still think it was impressive. There was the downside that the brawlers are losing fans while Sellon and Anubius get more points. But hey, look at these incredible new Bakugan:

While the brawlers' dilemma about Drago's power and Dan not playing is the emotional focus of this episode, it is not exactly the highlight. There's still Mag Mel and his plans, of course. We see the force of Mag Mel introducing the Cyclone Percival Bakugan (Haos, Pyrus, and Darkus) to two brainwashed brawlers and using them to challenge the brawlers! There's also Sellon, still trying to recruit Shun, and then there's Anubius, still trying mind games on Dan. I think Anubius might mean well, but I saw the preview to the next episode and I saw... well, just watch the episode plus the preview to next week's episode.

Here's this week's episode:
Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 5: Tri-Twister Take Down

Let's tune in next week to see if Dan finally gets to know about Mag Mel. It looked like he was having visions again in the preview. You can watch the previous episodes and seasons, as well as look out for the new episodes in the future, at Bakugan Tv Show.

Updates on Main Site, BD, and Gameplay FAQs

This news is a little late in sharing. I'm sure a lot of you have already come across these changes and updates.

EDITED: The main site of Bakugan, Bakugan.com, has finally been updated back in the beginning of March. The background is that of Zenthon and Dredeon (I thought it was Venexus) facing off each other. We also get to have a good look at the new Mechtanium Surge Bakugan that can be found in the Collection of the site.

Not everything in Bakugan.com has been updated, however. While the background, the Bakugan collection, the Cards, and the Gameplay have been updated with new information and pictures, it seems the Bakugan.com Universe is not. The Gundalians plus Julie, Jake, Ren, and Fabia are still on the Characters database, and Dan, Shun, and Marucho are still sporting their season 3 outfits. With all the secrecy regarding the Mechtanium Surge season, maybe Spinmaster isn't ready yet to give any more spoilers.

Bakugan Dimensions has also been updated, and there's this quick update in case not everyone has read it:

Travel between Earth and Interspace

To travel to Interspace, use the Internet Terminal to "Log in to Interspace." The Internet Terminal is located next to the DNA console in front of the School.

To travel back to Earth, use the Internet Terminal in the Interspace Plaza to "Log out of Interspace." The internet terminal is located near NPC Jason Willis. Please note this will not log you out of Dimensions.

Travel between Earth and Neathia

To travel to Neathia, walk through the starburst Portal located in the Downtown plaza. The portal is located just west of the fountain.

To travel back to Earth, walk through the starburst Portal located in the Neathia plaza, which is the same portal that brought you to Neathia.

Please note the World Map will display only the areas of the world you are in. If you are on Earth then your World Map will show the area maps on Earth. If you are in Interspace, then your World Map will show the Interspace area maps. And if you in Neathia, your World Map will display the Neathia area maps.

There were also updates on the Gameplay FAQ, which are mostly about the use of the Mechtogan, Mechtogan Titans, and BakuNanos in brawling.

In your set up to start brawling, you may have up to two (2) support pieces in any combination. Support pieces include Mechtogan, Mechtogan T.itans, Battle Gear, Mobile Assaults and Traps.

During a battle on a Gate Card you may only play up to one (1) support piece. This has changed from the previous rule of being able to play all your support pieces during battle on a Gate Card.

You may have up to three (3) BakuNano in addition to your support pieces and you may play all 3 BakuNano during battle on a Gate Card.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 4: Fall From Grace

I was first confused with whom the title was meant for, whether it meant the brawlers or Sellon and her cronies. There was a chance that it may not be the brawlers falling from grace, because Dan and Shun in a tag team would NEVER lose! But then I guess there was another meaning to it all, that it's not just about winning a brawl but also winning the fans and their admiration.

In this latest episode, we finally get to see Shun in action! We also get to see him (although in a tag team) battle it out with Sellon, who is also a Ventus brawler. There's also his quality of being a very very very patient friend to Dan, who just doesn't seem to think things through more clearly. He still goes in for a battle, and goes on to full power with Drago even when it's not advisable in Drago's condition. Drago managed to control his power in the end, but at a huge price.

It really looks as if it's Sellon who is working for Mag Mel. Shun has noticed that she's got something planned, but all he has for now are suspicions. And the nerve of Sellon, trying to poach Shun into her team. NEVER!

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 3: Disconnect

Well, this episode brings to light what I call "fan politics" in stardom, where the star Bakugan players try to either maintain or increase their popularity among the fans by adding more to their fanbase. Team Anubius and Team Sellon are certainly not against this practice. Dan, however... Drago's safety comes first, of course!

Given Drago's situation, I think Dan made the right choice in holding back in the battle against Anubius. He could have made a better choice by not agreeing to the battle in the first place, but Dan is Dan and he'll always say yes to a challenge. Another thing I find frustrating is why Dan just won't come clean with Shun and Marucho. They're friends and they're there to help. Dan shouldn't keep the problem to himself especially if it involves a Mechtogan who is so hard to defeat.

Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 3: Disconnect

I hope Dan won't keep on turning the others away with his problem. Next episode, Shun will lead on getting to the bottom of the problem while Sellon takes her turn in challenging Dan.

Site Updates.. and Marvel Bakugan?

A new season and new Bakugan would naturally mean additions to the site. And there are definitely lots of new stuff from Mechtanium Surge. We will be a little reserved on what to share here for a while, however, as Spinmaster hasn't really officially confirmed anything other than the previews and the newly released first wave of Mechtanium Surge Bakugan.

Well, you guys have already heard and seen lots of new Mechtanium Surge Bakugan making the rounds in the Internet, I'm sure. You already know of the Mechtogan, the Mechtogan Titans, the BakuNano, and the upcoming-unknown-for-now Bakugan of the next waves. So I'm sure you also know about the Marvel Bakugan, specifically Wolverine and Iron Man Bakugan...

... which are amusing additions to the Bakugan line. I honestly don't know what to think of them other than that they are really amusing. Who would've thought Marvel heroes could be made into Bakugan balls?

As stated above, there is no word from Spinmaster about the Marvel Bakugan yet. Even Bakugan.com hasn't been updated yet to show the new Mechtanium Surge Bakugan, so we're all still in the dark about what Spinmaster has for us concerning the fourth season.
