New Bakugan Episode – Gundalian Invaders Episode 37: Broken Spell

This episode had Kazarina's fate written all over it. She's the mistress of casting spells and brainwashing techniques, after all. Question: How do we break a spell when it is tied to the master's life? Answer: Destroy the master. In this episode, this is exactly what was done to Mistress Kazarina of the Twelve Orders.

Normally, it is usually the hero or the protagonist who kills the enemy. In Kazarina's case, she was killed by her own teammate. But given how much betrayal and scheming goes around the Twelve Orders, is it any wonder she backstabbed by one of their own? What is so sad about her death is Lumagrowl now has lost his partner. Personally, I think Lumagrowl could find a better partner than Kazarina. He even turned against her just to battle Aranaut on his own. The part where Lumagrowl walks off slowly was really sad.

On a brighter note, we get to see Lene, Zenet, and Jesse back in their normal selves! Barodius now only has Gill, Stoica, and Airzel on his side. Looking at the preview for the next episode, however, maybe the Gundalians still have the upper hand because of Dharak's enormous power.

New Bakugan Episode – Gundalian Invaders Episode 36: Gundalian Showdown

EDIT: Apologies again because off the delay of this post. The tv show really took a long vacation over the holidays that I almost forgot that the 36th episode was already out!

So let's cut to the chase. We only get snips of the battle between the brawlers and the Gundalians, and basically Drago was the only one not really hurt. While the other brawlers had a hard time bringing down even just one of the Gundalians, it was like Drago didn't even break a sweat as he took down ALL of them. After taking them down, Dragonoid Colossus took them through the portal to Neathia, while Stoica and Airzel went after them. Throughout this entire time, Kazarina and Fabia are battling each other. Their battle is actually the highlight of the episode. Just as Aranaut was about to lose, help comes in the form of Mason, and --- lo and behold! --- Nurzak. Seriously, just how many times does this guy have to be presumed dead and then turn up alive and well in the future?

Watch the first episode of the year here:
Bakugan Gundalian Invaders Episode 36: Gundalian Invaders

Oh! Also look forward to the new partnership of Linus and Rubanoid! This shouldn't have been surprising, as they're both Pyrus brawlers and they both lost partners, and we couldn't expect Ren to handle two Bakugan. But I was surprised, nonetheless. Hurray for these two! It was great seeing Linus and Rubanoid brawling again.

Bakugan Movie Now Has a Director

Last year, Spinmaster and Universal started plans on making a Bakugan movie. And just last month it was announced that Universal Pictures has finally chosen a director to make the anticipated movie.

The director attached to the project will be Harald Zwart, the director of the remake of The Karate Kid. Now while The Karate Kid was indeed a success, there may be some reservations with the Bakugan film among fans. The Karate Kid involved real human beings and a real life situation. Bakugan, however, involves balls that transform into huge monsters with great powers. When it comes to storylines involving big monsters with awesome powers, the movie project becomes worrying. Just think, Dragonball Evolution... that movie turned out disappointing fans of the Dragonball series. But I guess we should give Harald Zwart the chance to make a good movie out of Bakugan.
