New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 28: Wiseman Cometh

You can call me.. Wiseman.

We had some down time yesterday so we weren't able to put this up. I also wasn't exactly thrilled with the new villain's name enough to make me speed up with this post. I mean, Wiseman? Seriously?

Well, anyway, did I mention in my post last week that this second part of the fourth season feels like a separate new season entirely? We now have a brand new foe in the name of, well, Wiseman. He may or may not be the missing Gunz, who may or may not have been struck with some evil entity like Alice was back in season 1 to become Masquerade. Basically, we have another villain who is hiding behind a mask (just what is it with villains and masks, anyway?).

After the defeat of Mechtogans Coredegon, Slycerak, Mandibor, and Exostriker, Wiseman recruited the Bakugan he released from the Doom Dimension to wreak havoc on Earth and challenge the Battle Brawlers. These Bakugan are known as the Nonet Bakugan, who were banished to suffer in the Doom Dimension by Drago's ancestor.

The Battle Brawlers rose up to the challenge, of course, with Julie reporting from the sidelines and Mira providing support from their HQ. Reptak also helped, and Dan accepted his help when they used the Dragonoid Destroyer again. Wiseman had called upon the four Mechtogan from last time to battle the brawlers again. It was like a repeat of Mechtavius Destroyer versus Dragonoid Destroyer (with Reptak and Jaakor adding some power). Marucho and Radizen also had Blasterate as a Battle Suit to assist in the battle.

The battle ended with the Brawlers winning, and Wiseman completely depleted of energy. He vanished before Dan could get to him , and we are left with the thought that Wiseman could really be Gunz.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 27: Evil Arrival

Go Subterra!

The second part of the Mechtanium Surge season feels like another season entirely. Sure, the main 3 are still the kings in Bakugan brawling, but there have been many changes as well. No sign of fan-fave Spectra and the duo of Rafe and Paige. No mention of Gundalia and Neathia. Now it's Vestals and Earth and the Doom Dimension (for a short while). But hey, Mira and Julie are back!

There are additions as well, many of them , in fact. It really does feel like a brand new season of Bakugan with the amount of new stuff in here. Dan, Shun, and Marucho even got new clothes; Dan kind of adopted Naruto's penchant for a long-sleeved jacket, Shun's got longer hair, and Marucho.. well, actually Marucho didn't change that much. He also still prefers Bakugan who talk a lot.

Perhaps the most significant addition is the new Haos brawler, Gunz Lazar, and his Bakugan, Haos Reptak. He thinks of himself as Dan's greatest rival, and is certainly as obsessed in beating Dan as Anubias was.

Dan still has Fusion Dragonoid, but Shun and Marucho have new Bakugan! There's no explanation on what happened to Taylean and Trister. It's like any connection to Gundalia and Neathia is being taken out for this episode. Anyways, Shun is now with Ventus Jaakor, who is said to be a ninja Bakugan and partners Shun perfectly in battle. Marucho has Aquos Radizen as his Bakugan. Radizen is not as talkative as Marucho's previous Bakugan, but this is still the first episode where he's appeared so we'll see.

Back to the story. Apparently, all the Bakugan in New Vestroia went to Earth and became part of the lives of humans. It was like everyone on Earth had their own Bakugan now. Meanwhile, at the Doom Dimension, four rebel Mechtogans fought against the Bakugan there that wanted to stop them from leaving the dimension. The Mechtogans wanted to create the new age of the Mechtogans, where they would not be subject to a Bakugan or a brawler. They found out about all the Bakugan living on Earth and decided to go there to fight for domination.

They arrived just when Dan and Gunz were brawling, and it was there that they wreaked havoc on the arena. The Mechtogans proved to be powerful, defeating Shun, Marucho, and Gunz. Even Dan and Drago were having a hard time. The Mechtogans even combined to form Mechtavius Destroyer, and Dan and Drago had to summon Dragonoid Destroyer to defeat them. It was like Power Rangers and Gundam combined, and Gundam won.

Mechtavius Destroyer and Dragonoid Destroyer

Where did Dragonoid Destroyer come from anyway, and how did he come to be? Were Zenthon and Zenthon Titan really destroyed back when they battled Mag Mel? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, because this episode is fast-paced and leaves a lot of wholes to the storyline.

Go to the Bakugan Tv Show to watch the previous episodes if you want. Some of our questions will hopefully be answered in the next episode, like who this guy Wiseman is and his purpose.

Friend or Foe?

Battle Tactic #19: Guest Brawler Strategy #2 – August 2011

This month's Battle Tactic strategy is shared by My.Bakugan.com member haosmaster001, and uses the following Bakugan and cards:

Bakugan
Baku Sky Raider: Haos Jaakor 910 G-Power
Baku Sky Raider: Haos Skytruss 900 G-Power
Mechtogan: Haos Venexus 170 G-Power

Bakunano
Gold Hyper Pulsor +70 G-Power
Silver CrosStriker +70 G-Power
Copper Bombaplode +80 G-Power

Gate Cards
Gold Waterlogged
Silver The Spires
Copper Tri-Color Boot

Ability Cards
Blue Late Sunrise
Green Sun-Power Boost
Red Try Again

Here's how this Battle Tactic goes:

Start by Setting Waterlogged. Stand Skytruss on your Gate, and your opponent will almost automatically win, because they gain the bonus two more times. Let your opponent win, so that their Bakugan lose 100 Gs.

Then, set The Spires. Haos has the second highest Attribute Bonus, (at 110) having a Bonus at least 40 G-Power higher then the other bonus, except Ventus, which is 40 Gs higher. Stand Jaakor. With a weakened opponent, you'll probably win. If you are losing, try to use Sun-Power Boost to win. If that won't work, try Activating Venexus and equipping with CrosStriker, for a total of (910 + 110 + 300 OR 910 + 110 + 170 + 70) 1,320 OR 1,260 G-Power!

Finally, Set Tri-Color Boot and Stand either Bakugan. If your opponent also Stands on that Gate, brawl, and you'll have at least 1,150 Gs, because the Haos Attribute Bonus is 250 G-Power. If you rolled all your Bakugan into the Used Pile, then all of them should come back, including your Mechtogan. Use Venexus and equip with Bombaplode for 250 more G-Power. If you stood Jaakor, then you should have 1,410 G-Power, and win.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 26: The Final Takedown

Open wide!

It's finally here: the final battle between Dan and Drago versus Mag Mel and Razenoid. It's also a challenge for the rest of the brawlers to defend Earth and obliterate all the Chaos Bakuagn and Mechtogan. The enemies are proving to be numerous and hard to take down, so what is it going to take for Dan and Drago to destroy Mag Mel and Razenoid and stop the destruction of Earth and other worlds?

Everyone is certainly going all out. Spectra and Gus are back in battle mode with a tag team. Shun has summoned Silent Strike Titan for more power, and Marucho is roaring for the other brawlers not to give up. Paige and Rafe are certainly determined to stop the menace that will turn to Gundalia and Neathia if it succeeds on destroying Earth. Chris and Soon are finally showing some spunk in here! There's only two of them fighting in the area, compared to Team Anubias who has four members, and they're not complaining and just fight head on! That's girl power there.

But the boys are doing well, too, if we exclude the part where they got disheartened there or a while before Marucho set them straight. Noah also takes some inspiration from the ghost of Anubias. This kid is really stepping it up, it's like he's even taking the leadership position of the team sometimes. And then there's also the Team Anubias victory pose (which kind of reminds me of the poses Gohan of DragonBallz makes as the Saiyan man):

Meanwhile, Dan and Drago is hit hard by a powerful Mag Mel and monstrous Razenoid. Their Mechtogan and Titans eventually destroyed each other to protect their masters. Still, Mag Mel and Razenoid seem to have the upper hand... until Dan and Drago uses the power of the Gate and Key and Drago evolves again! He is now Fusion Dragonoid, with the latest difference to his appearance very visible on his wings.

Fusion Dragonoid

Dan and Fusion Dragonoid eventually defeated Mag Mel and Razenoid. Mag Mel made an effort to bring Dan and Drago down with him to the death when all the energy from Bakugan Interspace burst out of him. But, hey, you can't kill the main protagonist this easily! Come on.. no one is going to fall for this even if the other brawlers think Dan and Drago may have sacrificed themselves. Right? *wink*

When Mag Mel and Razenoid were destroyed, so were the Chaos Bakugan and Mechtogan on Earth. The planet and the people also came back to normal, and the Dark Moon was crumbling, with Dan and Drago carried down in a circle of light. It would've been a great ending.. if only it didn't make me think of why a cyber apparition named Dylan is on Earth.

So is this the end? Ha! We'll see. Watch all episodes of Bakugan on Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 25: Dark Moon

These guys are hard to kill!

We are nearing the end of the series, which means it's all-out war and fighting here on out. Last week episode left a cliffhanger, where the brawlers managed to get out to the real world (minus Spectra and Helios), and found a dark moon floating in the sky. Turns out this is still Mag Mel's work and he continued to use his powers by transporting all humans except the brawlers to an inverted dark dimension of Earth.

And how would there be war without Mag Mel's Chaos Bakugan and Mechtogans? These were unleashed once again as the beginning of Mag Mel's plan to annihilate Earth, then Gundalia, Neathia, New Vestroia, and Vestal! He has also dispatched Mechtogan Titans to drill into the Earth's core to destroy the Earth. Naturally the brawlers weren't just going to let this happen. So war it is!

The brawlers were doing well at first, but the Chaos Bakugan were endless. Shun had to call Silent Strike for reinforcements. When it wasn't enough, he called on their Mechtogan Titan, Faser Titan. Shun is definitely second to Spectra in bringing a lot of action in this episode.

Even when Spectra and Helios came through their portal to help, in the end, Mag Mel and Razenoid still emerged powerful. This is not to say that the brawlers were losing badly. This are the Bakugan Battle Brawlers! They'll make it hard for the villain to win!

Spectra was able to help with a lot of the battles, that's for sure. For one, it was his idea to morph three Bakugan: Drago, Helios, and Taylean! And so we get Drago with not so many changes, Taylean with Drago's wings, and Helios with the stick legs.

Oh! And let's not forget Gus! Gus --- who has always been and is apparently still Spectra's most loyal servant-friend-sidekick-whatever, who is unknowingly Chris' and Soon's model in fanatic idolizing, and who we can guess have just been inside the ship all these times that Spectra and Helios appeared. He's in command of the ship while Spectra's on the ground battling.

Spectra and Gus have created another Bakugan booster called the Battle Suit. Spectra has Helios using the Doomtronic, while Shun was given the Blasterate. Dan might get his someday, but for now he'll have to satisfied with his Mobile Assualt Rapilator.

Watch how this week's episode ends:
Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 25: Dark Moon

Next week, Dan and Drago are going to fight it out with Mag Mel and Razenoid. The others will have to do their best to stop the Chaos Bakugan on Earth, as well as those five Mechtogan Titans drilling into the core. Plus, Gus gets to get out of the ship and into the action! Watch out for the next episodes, or watch the previous ones, on Bakugan Tv Show.
