BAKUGAN BUZZ

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 20: True Colors

Behind Blue.. uhm, Shades

With the end of Bakugan Dimensions last week, we're hoping that this episode lifted some of the downed spirits of Bakugan fans. It certainly gave answers to the questions we've asked before about the fourth season, questions like "Who is this Dylan guy?" and "When will the others find out about Sellon's and Anubias' real personalities?" Well, as is implied by the title of this episode, everyone is showing their true colors at last!

The war in Gundalia ends as Mag Mel backs off after his defeat to the brawlers. The victory party was cut short, however, because there came another distress signal, this time coming from the Bakugan Interspace! The five brawlers make their way to Interspace (Spectra's gone again), and find it in ruins, with the Chaos Bakugan on a destructive spree. Teams Anubias and Sellon (without the leaders, of course) are still running around seeking sanctuary with other brawlers. The brawlers arrive just in time to save Team Anubias from a Chaos Bakugan.

The first "true colors" we get to see in the episode is Dylan, who turns out to be the computerized manifestation of Bakugan Interspace! It's like I, Robot and Eagle's Eye where the computer becomes as intelligent as man, with horrifying results. Bakugan Interspace apparently had a program to keep the brawlers challenged in their battles, and Dylan did just that with the BakuNano and other upgrades. Seriously, couldn't they have made Dylan a little less creepy? He represents the system of Bakugan Interspace, after all.

Matrix in my eyes...

The brawlers are trapped in Interspace, and with the help of ever loyal Kato they find one access point where they can get out of the system. En route to the access point, however, Anubias and Sellon appear and finally show their true colors --- evil Gundalian and Neathian servants of Mag Mel --- much to the shock of their fanatical members. Chris and Soon are in denial. But Team Anubias seem to be taking it well enough, with the exception of Noah who was disappointed yet again in his choice for an idol.

And hell hath known no fury like the fury of Shun scorned! Once it was clear that Sellon was just using the brawlers, Shun in particular, for their evil deeds, Shun was bent on battling her with all he's got. So we've got Anubias obsessed with defeating Dan, and Shun intent on defeating Sellon. How awesome is that!

Watch how the episode ends here:

The brawlers are still trapped in Interspace. Next week, we'll find out if they can get out of there while figuring out Sellon's real agenda in getting back together with her team. Watch out for the next episodes, or watch the previous ones, on Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 19: Unlocking the Gate

This guy just doesn't have enough screen time.

And the war in Gundalia continues! This episode seems to be fast-forwarding a bit because we finally get a showdown here between the brawlers and the season villains. Of course, it's still not the last we've seen of the antagonists. We're still on the 19th episode, after all.

Dan finally has his head straight, and he finally gets why the others are always on his case. Finally! Was it really that hard to recognize that your head was getting too big, even with your friends already saying it to your face?.. Ah well, at least this phase in their friendship is over, and Dan's back to being the leader of the Battle Brawlers!

And it's good that they're all united once again, because they needed to be in order to defeat Mag Mel and his two sidekicks. We really need to get a story about how Anubias and Sellon got to work for Mag Mel. It's curious how a Neathian can be so sly and cruel and how a very competitive Gundalian doesn't complain all that much when he's at the bottom of the command chain.

The evil trio calls down all their forces (meaning all six Mechtogans from before + Dreadeon) and unleashes them unto the brawlers. The brawlers were helpless, and so Dan and Drago decided to share their powers, resulting in an additional outpour of Mechtogans from the sky. And so we welcome the brawlers' Mechtogans! We've already seen Shun's Silent Strike. Marucho has Accelerak, Paige has Vexfist, and Rafe has Swift Sweep.

It was still not a fair fight, with the brawlers short one Mechtogan and in power. Luckily, our favorite brawler of the season came! Spectra! They really should give him more screen time. He doesn't have a Mechtogan (yet, maybe) but he's got to have one of the most powerful BakuNanos if he could clean up just like that.

This episode also has Mag Mel talking about the Gate and the Key that he so desperately wants. He and Razenoid has half of it, while Dan and Drago has the other half. At the end of the battle, Mag Mel may have lost but he certainly got the Gate from Drago. What does this mean for the future?

Watch this week's episode:
Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 19: Unlocking the Gate

It should be recognized just how cool it was to see a brawler use a Launcher like Rafe did. Next week, we go back to Bakugan Interspace as trouble brews over there. Watch out for the next episodes, or watch the previous ones, on Bakugan Tv Show.

New Bakugan Episode – Mechtanium Surge Episode 18: Battle Lines

Who looks better riding the Bakugan Mobile Assault?

The site hasn't been feeling well the past days, with the site down for a short while and the forums down for a longer while. It's also been some time since we've had some news from Spinmaster or Bakugan.com. There hasn't been much news lately. No bakugan balls on the July previews, the Bakugan Dimensions are closing, and just NOTHING NEW AT ALL!!!

But we always have the animated series to keep us company during these, uhh.. quiet times. Let's take a look at the latest episode of Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge.

Encore, Jesse and Plitheon! Looking villain-y, Mason and Avior!

Well, Jesse is still at his book and drama, and Mason is still at his most villainous moment beating up Chaos Bakugan. If there's one thing that won't change with Gundalians, it's that they are straightforward warriors and naturals at war and power battles. Paige could hardly sit still while Gundalia continues to be a war zone.

Dan continues to be headstrong about being on the frontlines of the battle. Surprisingly he listens to Marucho and stays in the command center while the others go to battle... for a short while, at least. Those visions from Mag Mel only provokes Dan, and he finds out that what Mag Mel really wants is the "gate" and the "key." And so, he dismisses his friends' advise (or admonition) and goes on his own way to fight Mag Mel on his own.

Being his childhood friend, Shun read Dan so easily and knew he wouldn't just stay out of the battle lines. He manages to catch up to Dan and gives him a piece of his mind. And just as I was sure Dan got his point and as Shun was reaching out to make amends, Dan backtracks into his original decision to fight Mag Mel alone. Well then, he'll have to go through his best friend first, it seems.

Look who came to interrupt the Battle of BFFs.. It's the other pair of BFFs!

The representative of evil from Gundalia arrives along with his new Bakugan and 3 Mechtogans. Naturally, the representative of evil from Neathia also had to join in the fight, with her new Bakugan and her own 3 Mechtogans! Villains really don't play fair. It's a good thing Drago is the most evolved of the Bakugan and has the Core and Code Eve inside him. If it wasn't for his great powers, and Zenthon and Zenthon Titan, he and Dan and Shun and Taylean would be goners.

It's raining Mechtogans: Mizerak, Venexus, Smasheon, Rockfist, Braxion, and Deezall

I wish Shun called upon his Silent Strike Mechtogan, too, even if it was just by accident like last time. I wonder how Dan would react to that, knowing he wasn't the only Battle Brawler with a Mechtogan. Instead of more Mechtogan, we get another genius invention from Marucho --- the Cannongear, which can strike out a Mechtogan in a shot or two!

The episode ended with a cliffhanger. We're also wondering if Spectra is coming back. I mean, no Darkus brawler for the majority of the season just can't be! Watch out for the next episodes, or watch the previous ones, on Bakugan Tv Show.

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.

Watch this week's episode here:
Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 17: Gundalia Under Fire

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.
