New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 17: Gundalia Under Fire

Dan's BakuNano Sonicanon

Last week's episode showed us Paige getting the distress signal from her home planet and the brawlers coming to help. Dan comes along, too, taking his place in the lead even though Shun and Marucho are still unsure of his well-being. How could they exactly be happy with Dan after everything that's happened?

So off we go to Gundalia, where we meet up with familiar faces from the past season. Ren welcomes the brawlers first and he's now a commander of the Gundalian forces. We're not surprised, just as we're not surprised that Nurzak became the Prime Minister. But I was surprised that Fabia is now Queen. Turns out that former Queen Serena became an ambassador between the two empires, and Fabia had to step up. I honestly thought it would be the other way around, Queen Serena staying as Queen and Fabia becoming the ambassador. Oh well.. politics can be complicated.

Anyway, it turns out that Dan and Mag Mel have this kind of link where one can read the mind of another and get headaches as the price. Just think Harry Potter and Voldemort and you'll understand what I mean. Dan didn't think that Mag Mel could read his mind, too, however. He thought that the mind-reading thing and the visions were one-way, just like he thought that friendship and trust is also one-way, with him abandoning his friends then thinking they'll just take him back like he's done nothing wrong... okay, back to the story, please.

With Mag Mel reading Dan's mind, he was able to counter the brawlers' plan of ambush. The Gundalians and the brawlers were losing, even when Dan and Drago summoned Zenthon. And of course, with a Mechtogan on one side, we get a Mechtogan on the other side: Dreadeon makes his formal appearance as Mag Mel and Razenoid's fearsome Mechtogan!

Chaos, pain, and destruction are what I crave!

Luckily, before Mag Mel gets to Dan, reinforcements arrive! Hooray for Gundalian-Neathian relations! Neathian Castle Knights arrive to save the day, with Captain Elright leading with Aranaut! I guess Queens don't do battle anymore so Aranaut is now partnered with the captain of the Castle Knights.

Next week, friendship is tested! Dan is considered as a liability due to his link with Mag Mel but he just won't stop and take a break. He's even getting physical with Shun and Marucho! This is not good when there's a bigger enemy about to destroy worlds. And just when is Spectra coming back?! Watch out for it at Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 16: A Hero Returns

"You're not the same guy who brought me out of my darkness." - Spectra to Dan

I'm going to risk the bashing I may receive from Dan-and-Drago fans and say out loud that if ever there was an episode where a person can purely hate Dan, it is this. Even the brawlers are hating him. I've never seen Marucho frown so angrily. Shun could barely hide his anger and frustration. Rafe and Paige are stunned and think so low of him, and even Spectra is disappointed in Dan. I hope Spectra returns quick. His exit was kinda dramatic in a sense that he won't appear for a while.

Well, to sum up the recap of this episode, it was a disaster for the brawlers... and Dan (I'm not including him in the team until he apologizes). Dan arrives with an engine full of smug arrogance and announces that he'll take care of all the Chaos Bakugan by himself. See first paragraph for the brawlers' expressions. He eventually calls for Zenthon, but loses control when he feels Mag Mel. Zenthon goes into a rampage and destroys just about anything, including the brawlers' Bakugan, until he goes off again. Sellon and Anubias then call forth all the BakuNano they possess for all their Bakugan and defeat Drago... And after all the destruction, Dan still hasn't learned his lesson.

Marucho eventually destroys that area of Bakugan Interspace to destroy all the remaining Chaos Bakugan. Then it's on to a Dan-bashing session. Rafe and Paige certainly didn't go easy on him. Marucho was holding back, but there really was a lot of anger in his outburst. Shun was still calm --- on the outside. Inside, he was itching to punch something, and I was wishing it would be Dan's nose.

Dan's display of crazy and power in one gave Mag Mel and Razenoid the needed energy to finally break free! And it's like Mag Mel never runs out of Chaos Bakugan because once he got settled in Gundalia, his entire army was ready to attack.

Can we say that this episode was correctly titled? Because I don't think anyone saw Dan as a hero here. In the end, the area was still destroyed, Dan still has no complete control over his Mechtogan, and Mag Mel and Razenoid are free!

Next week, the team is out on Gundalia to fight against Mag Mel and the Chaos Bakugan. Plus, we get to see Fabia and Ren again! And Linehalt and Aranaut! It would be interesting if Hawktor, Sabator, and Akwimos, and Linus and Rubanoid would appear as well, and the Gundalian gang, too. But we shouldn't get our hopes up. Let's just see whose familiar faces we will get to see next week. Watch out for it at Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 15: Interspace Under Siege

Look into my eye and tell me why you post this episode so late?!

I'm sure you guys have already seen this episode via CN or Teletoon or Youtube. Hence, I'll just touch on what's new and what's hot in the episode, rather than dive into a recap/summary like I usually do.

First and foremost, there is the ultimate grand entrance of probably the most loved brawler right now --- Spectra! Now as a Darkus brawler, he's come to help the brawlers and complete the team of 6. Also with him, of course, is the ever loyal and evolved Darkus Infinity Helios. The duo is still at it with their new body improvements and mechanical evolutions.

New Bakunanos were also shown in this episode. Trister's Crosstriker and Taylean's Hammermor were given by Rafe. Paige also brought out Boulderon's Slingpike in their battle against the many Chaos Bakugan.

We've also just found out in this episode that Anubias' team members have no involvement in Anubias and Sellon's work for Mag Mel. Iwonder how they'll react when they discover what their team leader is really up to... and that he's Gundalian. That would be interesting. Now if they don't know this about their leader, I'm guessing Chris and Soon don't know about Sellon's allegiance to Mag Mel, too.

Dan and Drago are also back from their training in New Vestroia. They got back in time, but the brawlers may not be as welcoming as he would think. We'll have to wait and see the next episode how the reunion turns out! Watch out for it, as well as the other episodes, at Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 14: Triple Threat

Triple Threat, courtesy of Mag Mel

In this week's episode, we get not one, not two, but three new Mechtogans! They're on the evil side, however, and as members of the team fighting against Dan and Drago and Zenthon, they could only lose. They still gave our Pyrus protagonists a hard time though, and that should be enough to allow them an introduction:

Pyrus Deezall, Subterra Rockfist, and Haos Mizerak

One thing is certain: for all that Sellon promotes grace, beauty, and honor in battle, she sure is unfair in this episode as she brings out 3 Chaos Iron Dragonoids, then all six Chaos Flash Ingrams, and then the three above-mentioned Mechtogan. But then we all know that Interspace Sellon has always been an act. Neathian Sellon is the real evil thing. You just had to take one look at her in Neathian appearance (that hair!) and listen to that awkward cover voice.

Why did her voice change, anyway? Anubias' voice didn't change like that when he changed into a Gundalian.

Thanks to Dan and Drago's training, they were able to summon Zenthon for help. Now that they're in sync, they are able to communicate with each other, with Zenthon branding Dan and Drago as his creator and battler respectively. When the three of them weren't enough to beat the 3 Mechtogans that Sellon called forth, they were able to pool in their powers and summon Zenthon Titan!

The First Mechtogan Titan on the Show: Zenthon Titan

Back at Bakugan Interspace, Shun, Marucho, Paige, and Rafe have been rising up the ranks as they battle as a team. They are currently battling against Team Anubias as hundreds of Chaos Bakugan sweep in and attack Interspace!

Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 14: Triple Threat

And the time has come, guys! Spectra is definitely back! Next week, he comes to Bakugan Interspace to help the brawlers and complete the team. We are sure that he will blow us away as a Darkus brawler (we're not even going to pay much attention to Dan, I wager). Watch out for the next episodes, as well as the previous ones, at Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 13: Re-connection

The title speaks for itself. In this episode, Dan and Drago go back through their memories, with Wayvern guiding them through whatever crucial detail they may have missed. Back in Interspace, Marucho tries to bring Shun back to the spirit of teamwork and getting the Battle Brawlers back together (minus Dan, of course). In the end, all of them got what they wanted: re-connection. Oh, we also get to see Sellon re-connecting with her real appearance as a Neathian (no one is surprised that she's a Neathian, right?):

Neathia has a face of evil --- Sellon

In New Vestroia, Dan and Drago go back to the time when they first saw Code Eve. From there, they went through every memory they had of Code Eve, and was able to find a clue as to why they couldn't control their new powers! Back in Interspace, the fight for the title of Interspace champion results to a face off between Shun and Marucho. Who won? The correct answer would be the both of them. While Shun won the battle, Marucho's main goal was to make Shun realize that he wasn't the only one who was hurt when Dan disappeared, that they were a team and they should brave it all together. And Shun did realize this. In a way, Marucho also won. The Battle Brawlers have come together again! Well, minus Dan.. and minus a certain Darkus brawler that should have been already in the show episodes ago.

We were hoping that Spectra would finally come out on the next episode next week. Many of us are itching to finally see him, yet we're still kept waiting! Gues all we can do is wait for his great comeback. Watch out for the next episodes, as well as the previous ones, at Bakugan Tv Show.
