New Bakugan Episode – Gundalian Invaders Episode 31: True Evolution

So Dharak and Drago fight each other once again, and this time Drago has got a lot of support. He's evolved, he's got a lot of battle gears at his disposal, and he also has mobile assault. Plus, Dragonoid Colossus is there giving encouragement. Dharak has the Exokor but it looks like Drago can take it down. Despite all this, however, when Drago and Dharak go on a one-on-one, Dharak still manages to get the upper hand. Drago's evolution is apparently incomplete!

Watch the full battle here:

And did Dharak have a voice change again?

Titanium Dragonoid of Bakugan Season 4!

Slowly but surely; this is how we're getting to know facts about season 4 of the Bakugan series, Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge. The first we heard about the creation of the fourth season was back during the BakuCon tournaments, where one of the Bakugan designers showed his drawing of Apexeon 2.

The latest exciting news about Bakugan season 4 is the unveiling of the new Dragonoid Bakugan that will be released as one of the season's highlights. This will obviously be another big evolution for Drago.

There will be new and old Bakugan to be released in the fourth season. Some Special Attack Bakugan from the second season, for instance, is said to be among the upcoming releases of the fourth season. There are also the new creatures that will be introduced, the Mechtogan, as well as other new Bakugan. We all will just have to wait and see what the fourth season will really bring.

Bakugan Battle League – Blog Entry #6 – November 15th, 2010

On Saturday, November 13th, the Finale of the Bakugan Battle League was held at participating Toys "R" Us stores across the United States and Canada. Each of the five Bakugan Battle League dates over the course of the past several months was a sensation, making the BBL one of the most memorable brawling events to ever take place. At each event, brawlers participated in one-on-one matches and fun activities in order to complete their BBL Handbook. Completing each activity won them a vote towards the next chapter in a unique Bakugan story created exclusively for the Battle League. Additionally, each story brought about a new Ability card given out to brawlers who attended their local Toys “R” Us event.

With more battlefield experience and stories to tell than ever before, brawlers voted for the BBL Finale Chapter which has revealed a never-seen Bakugan! The Finale decision brought upon by the tallying of votes across the USA and Canada is… “All-New Season 4 Dragonoid”! Visit BakuganBattleLeague.com to view the now revealed Season 4 Bakugan.

And now, reporting in from around the US are BBL Minion Force members with their exciting coverage of their local BBL events:

- BrawlerRob brings his coverage of York, PA with amazing video footage and live interviews of the one and only Bakugan Game Designer – Luke Peterschmidt!

Going full out, Brawler Rob features a high quality YouTube video of his local BBL Finale event complete with interviews of Master Luke and several passionate brawlers.

- The Hayward, CA BBL proves to be a hit amongst locals as My.Bakugan.com Minion Force member BakuganFreedom captures high quality photos of brawlers hanging out and battling…

- bakulord elaborates on the excitement and fun of the last Bakugan Battle League at his local Toys “R” Us…

“This was the best of the Bakugan Battle League Events! The brawlers pulled out Scaboids and Longflys. The power was out of control. Brawlers came to the event, win or lose, they still had fun. The Ability at this event, “Destroy Evil”, really is a good card to counter strong Bakugan. I had a head on experience with it when my Pyrus Longfly got sent to the Used Pile. In total I won 8 brawls. I got like 16 stamps, 8 which were out of the stamp boxes. Joe, the BBL Tournament Official running it all, was very awesome. I thank him for helping out. All in all it was fun. Bakugan Brawl!”

- Minion Force member Disco provides her last BBL coverage update straight from Warner Robins, GA…

While gathering event content, Disco volunteered to be a Tournament Organizer in which she provided tournament support and assisted with handing out prize packs. She had the honor of giving a prize pack to the local Warner Robins BBL Champion, Ryan Osborne (in the picture below, on the right next to his brother Justin).

Bakugan and Spin Master would like to thank every brawler who journeyed out to their local Toys “R” Us to participate in a Bakugan Battle League! We also appreciate the BBL Tournament Officials who put in their hard work and effort into creating such a memorable event for brawlers all over the USA and Canada.

Be sure to check out BakuganBattleLeague.com for the BBL Finale vote reveal of an all-new Season 4 Dragonoid Bakugan!

Brawl on!

Cross Buster and Explosix Gear

In reading the comments of past blog posts about the Cross Buster and the Explosix Gear, it seems there are still people who are unconvinced that the two are the same. The general consensus is that they are indeed the same. But let's just take another analysis, shall we? The following images below were taken from episode 13 (Twin Evil) for the Cross Buster and episode 28 (Jake Returns) for the Explosix.

And the verdict?

Both are identical, in appearance, in ability, in G-Power.. The Cross Buster and the Explosix Gear is one and the same Bakugan Battle Gear.
