People love to shit talk myth but I once saw a myth summon a 0 pip minion and immediately next turn sacrifice it for 400 health for 1 pip. Big brain activity right there.

Here am I, shamelessly, with my RunoJulie propaganda

Julie throwing the gate card then Runo throwing the Bakugan wasn't intentional I swear–

But I love it this way. ��💖

[whiplashisthinkingaboutbakugan]

One thing I think sucks is how the Bakugan seem to have less personality as the series goes on. I’m not touching the third reboot with a ten foot poll I’m a full grown adult. I only have the patience for one reboot. I say this to say I can’t speak on that one. But I watched both Battle Brawlers and Battle Planet.

When I got to Mechtanium surge I got sad that they switched Shun and Marucho’s Bakugan again. Marucho hasn’t had a compelling Bakugan since Elphin. And while I like Elphin…Preyas was the best Bakugan personality wise in the whole series. Nobody made you have more fun on screen. Aquamos was fine. He had a distinct personality just less of one? When they actually made him pretty much only say ‘cool is the rule’ I knew it was Jover. Whoever Marucho has now, their entire personality is just being angry and I’m not a fan!!! Don’t give Bakugan just one personality trait. Preyas had it allllll ugh.

Shun and Skyress’ dynamic was special. The way she left the show was special too. She came back on occasion as well which felt more real. I remember Shun having to adjust to Ingram. Hawktor and Ingram were kind of similar to me but also yooo Ingram was transmasc? Real. Whoever Shun is with now is just his personality again which is less interesting. At least Hawktor seemed to have new opinions.

Runo, Alice, and Julie never switched Bakugan but what happened to theirs?? I await Mechtanium Surge to answer. But all of them had banger dynamics with their Bakugan.

Every new important character has some kind of dynamic with their Bakugan. That I can say. The arc with Rubinoid in Gundalian Invadors really got me. Even Anubius has a dynamic with his Bakugan if I recall correctly.

I think instead of swapping out Shun and Marucho’s Bakugan, you either give them multiple Bakugan or just do what every season does; add more characters with new Bakugan.

I liked Battle Planet. S3 or Geogan Rising was rough but I liked the other seasons for the most part. But the only Bakugan I can say that had personalities was Pharol, Nillious, Drago, and Trox on occasion. We’re going to put aside the Bakugan that were villains in the series cause they kind of don’t count for what I’m talking about. Of course Viloch and Tikko have personalities they’re the villains. But I can’t really think of an iconic villain and Bakugan duo. The reboot does a lot more Gus and Vulcan kind of pairings rather than Barodius and Dharak yknow? I can’t really think of what’s unique in the dynamic of Hydrous and reboot Shun. Or if Hydrous really had a personality. Drago in this show seems way more laid back and less…there. In the reboot they brawlers hardly spend time bonding with their Bakugan minus that one season they got new ones, and it was a little disappointing. Drago and Dan’s bond felt right because it’s always Dan and Drago. I do see them have a dynamic sometimes in the reboot but it’s so much less pronounced. Pegatrix and Lia just have the same personality and Trox is usually the same with Winton minus when they disagree. Honestly with Dan’s other friends they don’t really go past “mmm I don’t know about that,�� when their Brawlers are being a little silly. I could be wrong as I said I watched it all when each season dropped.

Magnus and Nillious Dynamic is significant because of the whole age thing. Magnus had to push to bond with Nillious to understand him. It was compelling! Pharol’s personality had always been compelling. He’s inquisitive and competitive. He guides Ajit emotionally and Ajit tells him about the world. These two are my favorite reboot characters so I am biased but I think this is at least some of the reason why. They feel like they really fit Bakugan.

The most compelling villain in the reboot that isn’t Magnus was Haavik but Haavik’s Bakugan didn’t have a personality!

The reboot got one thing right, not replacing the cast or brawlers or Bakugan. What they got wrong was not putting depth in their dynamic. I fear the worst of this trend continues.

TLDR never trade out your star of the show (Preyas.)

REAL TLDR: I love these shows most when Brawler and Bakugan share that bond of friendship that the show’s all about. Make sure I can feel it. Dan and Drago changed my life. I wanna make sure that if Bakugan can do that it does with those feelings it gave me.

THATS WHY YOU SHOULDNT TURN THEM INTO BEYBLADES. Goodnight Tri-state area.

Surge (JULIE-SU THE TENREC)

Masterpost

Given name: June-ta

Ran away; not to join the rebellion or the freedom fighters, but just to get out of the oppressiveness of the legion. She was still stubborn and brash but without any sort of passion behind it, she just kind of wanted nothing other than to get out.

Ran away before she turned 13 (on the day of her ceremony?)

Starline (works in the legion under Eggman, similar to IDW where he admires Eggman but thinks he’s smarter) found her essentially roughing it on her own; half manipulated her into joining him and half straight up kidnapped her; since she never knew what she wanted, Starline took interest in her instead of finding someone else who might be easier to brainwash (He found out she was a Legion defector, rubs this in Eggman’s face before he gets crushed by rocks or whatever the freak in IDW)

Put her in the background of EARLY early JS Legion flashbacks

Hushed murmurs about her

Her IDW plotline is merged with the continuation of archie beyond the genesis wave

She doesn't join the resistance per se, but works with them on occasion, mostly for her own gain.

She works most closely with Julie-su, who she gets along with best (she's easily antagonized by the goodie-two-shoes aura of the rest of the resistance), develops a crush on her that goes nowhere beyond Surge trying to impress her and Julie-su not picking up on it at all

She goes with Julie-su to an old Legion base to try and find information on her past, then find files about Mara-ta that say she died

Julie-su, heartbroken but trying not to let on, takes Surge to where she remembers Mara-ta's house being.

Its decrepit and mostly ransacked but they find a photo album under the floorboards (among other things she was trying to hide)

JS feels guilty for her death because she thinks she and Espio inspired her to try to rebel, also just mourns her because JS was attached to her (she feels really silly about this though, she barely knew Mara-ta and won’t really explain to Surge why the whole thing is making her so irritable (sad))
