#He was made by several hundred bakugan. of different attributes.

Its surprising that given his popularity, the show didn't even try to adapt leonidas into the show.

Like if I'm getting my facts right here the game is supposed to take place before the doom dimension arc but also after it aswell? I'm just losing it. Like imagine, "oh the worlds gonna be destroyed but ULTIMATE BATTLERS TOURNAMENT"

Like don't get me wrong, it gives a reason on why so many brawlers were there during the final battle but at the same time, Drago not being ultimate dragonoid makes my brain go brrr.

Technically speaking, if we’re going by the game timeline... the tournaments before UBT have to have happened before the Doom arc, but the UBT must happen before Drago can evolve a second time. This also means that the Pyrus tournament must happen before Delta Dragonoid exists. This means there’s a massive chunk of time where nothing happens.

And Masquerade keeps Marduk from doing anything to the player until the UBT. This means the tournament is required to even have the chance of stopping Vladitor, who is a threat, even if he can’t do anything outside the tournament, or there’ll be consequences.

If Leonidas did appear in the anime, I’d probably have him appear after BB, because I’m pretty sure the game came out after that season, not during (not during the original broadcast time. Reruns so you could catch up aren’t counted in this case), so he’d be a NV bakugan. That would make the whole of NV2 be a little more interesting, because if Leonidas never left the Doom, then the only bakugan he ever knew would be the Legendary Soldiers.

Who died.

This essentially means that Leonidas would be desolately lonely, unless he leaves. And, if the attribute energies worked that way, he could always use them as a beacon to find the soldiers, and take out his anger on them for leaving him in the dust. Only to find that they didn’t do that on purpose.

They’re dead. They’ve been replaced. They had to be, or vestroia would be vestal’s again.

Like... nothing goes right for Leonidas, even after evolution. He’s trusted by nobody but his partnered brawler, and he’s otherwise the loneliest being in existence.

But. But, but, but, but... if Leonidas was introduced in BB, then we’d have the fun of a “canon” version of first VG protag/Rikku, and most people don’t exactly like that. Otherwise, that means there are multiple Leonidas. Multiple instances of the dead wanting to slaughter everything in sight, just to have the chance of feeling better.

Leonidas is either, however you’d want to intergrate him in;

lonely.

has a canonical partner (who’d probably have to have a different story to go with it. Preferably including being tricked by Masquerade, to Leonidas’ advantage, as Leonidas probably can fly back through the portals to the Doom caused by the doom cards, since he can escape at will.)

isn’t a unique bakugan as a result of his weird origins.

Choose your favourite, but I do like 1 for storyline purposes, 2 for lore mechanics, and 3 for the sheer power implications of bakugan (if they can collectively make multiple Leonidas while dead.)
