#bakugan and imperialism

Ngl, I'm truly interested in your thoughts about how Imperialism/Imperialist was handled in Bakugan series (i think not so good)
i think you're going to have to be specific on which aspects you'd like a deep dive focus on because there is... a lot lol. and i do think generally it's done in a very shallow way.
i've talked a bit here on the way bakugan's capitalist inceptions impacts the way viewers are intended to see the bakugan (an oppressed class) and how their oppression and subsequent liberation is written. because of the background of the show, bakugan are never able to just exist by themselves, there always has to be a humanoid partner that the audience can self-insert into and imagine that they're the ones with fantastic monsters in order to sell toys. season 1 is only a bit more forgivable in this sense because the finale ends not with the brawlers dictating the attacks of the bakugan but with the major bakugan characters making attacks on their own, and with the bakugan being free of needing human control. it's not perfect, but it's the best in that regard especially compared to new vestroia.
in general i think new vestroia is the worst when dealing with the topic of imperialism in a way that liberates the oppressed class. it puts too much focus on the resistance vestals and the vexos to focus on the bakugan. the bakugan are relegated as mere background characters to the story of their own liberation. it fails to put the focus on the bakugan in a story where their freedom is what's being highlighted. the most you get is some parts with drago, maybe a few with elfin, and that one scene with ingram which was misogynistic towards skyress anyway. percival and nemus are never talked about outside of ace and baron's own personal struggles, and wilda (in the japanese dub especially) hardly has any personality and only exists to enable mira.
while i do like the s2 villains and how they can easily be interpreted as manifestations of the rot inside the imperialist vestal monarchy (incestuous subtext between spectra and mira included. i am fermincest truther and yes its execution was ridiculous but i like a critical gothic reading of it), the fact that this takes up so much of s2 while the bakugan get next to nothing on their own is frustrating.
s3 also falls into this trap with the neathians and the gundalians which i've touched a bit on here. it makes it so people usually fall into the trap of "umm neathians shouldve helped them maybe they wouldnt have gotten invaded if they did" which is also equally frustrating lol

Helios fandragon time! I'm much preferring Dusties for them than Imperials!
Next is possibly a normal Drago? I don't know which evolution to go off of though. Possibly Helix Dragonoid because Gundalian Invaders was my favorite season as a kid, and my first Bakugan in general.
Or Leonidas!

A general look before Japanese sojourning
Considered as a very safe country to travel, Japan “ranks in the top 10 in the Global Peace Index, and it has no active travel warnings or alerts issued by the U.S. Department of State” ("How safe"). However, to prepare for any sojourning plan, a general look at all aspects is a critical step such as geography, history, politics, media and especially features of society like religions, types of communication, gender roles, cultural characteristics. Learn about cuisine and places of tourism also play a major role in the journey.
Japan is an island nation in East Asia, which situated in the Pacific Ocean, it sits on the eastern edge of the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, China, the Korean Peninsula and the Far East Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and islands, and Taiwan to the south. The official name of Japan is Nihon-koku (日本国) meaning "the root of the Sun," and people refer to call Japan as the "Sun Land.” Japan consists 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Japan’s capital is Tokyo; the major port is Yokohama in Honshu. Besides, many beautiful cities are popular tourist destinations, such as Sapporo-popular with winter sports, the ancient capital of Kyoto, Osaka with plenty choices of food, and Hyogo with impressive Himeji Castle. (“Japan.”)
Japanese history passed through many important historical movements, which navigated Japan’s development. The first significant event happened in 1854, Japan and the United States concluded the Treaty of Peace and Amity, ending Japan's seclusion. Next, on 1 August 1984, First Sino-Japanese War started and was completed on 17 April 1895, resulting in Treaty of Shimonoseki. Also, Second Sino-Japanese War lasted from July 7, 1937, to September 9, 1945, led to Nanking massacre in China.World War II, lasted from 1939 to 1945, affected many countries in war zones and warring nations; Japan suffered heavy losses after the war. Specifically, Atomic bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki occurred on Aug 9, 1945; that event destroyed the two big cities of Japan, led to the failure of Japan in World War II. 3 May 1947 is a special day, marks Japan Independence. In 1956, Japan became a member of the United Nations, opened economic growth proceeds. Be a country usually suffering the natural disasters, Japan’s society and economy have been strongly affected by each catastrophe. For example, Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, Major tsunami in the Indian Ocean, and Niigata-Chuetsu Earthquake both occurred in 2004, and Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 causing the radiation effects in Fukushima.(“Explore”)
Japanese people speaks their own language, called Nihongo (日本語). The Japanese writing system includes three sets of character: Kanji (Chinese characters), Hiragana and Katakana (together called Kana). Nearly 99 percents Japanese speak Nihongo; the remaining 1% includes minority languages (Ainu, Bonin English, Nivkh, Russian), main immigrant languages (Korean, Portuguese, and Chinese), and main foreign languages (English, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish), and sign languages. (“The Languages”)
There are two major religions in Japan- Shinto and Buddhism. While Shinto is “as old as the Japanese culture,” Buddhism introduced into Japan from the 6th century. Besides two main religions, there are some other religions and philosophies -Confucianism, Christianity, basics for Muslim Travelers- coexisting in Japan society. Religions play the main role in Japanese daily life and particularly in Japanese festival or ceremonies like birth, weddings or funerals (“Religion”). Religions have a great influence on all aspects of Japan, even politics. Soka Gakkai, a Buddhism-based organization, is a truly large group of parishioners began as a movement of educational reform in the 1930s and developed in the postwar decades into the most active religious participants in Japanese history. Its influence spreads to politics when members of Soka Gakkai participated in electoral politics since 1955 (Shipman). This movement led to a wave of strong protest, accusing accuse Soka Gakkai of violating Japan’s constitutionally guaranteed separation of religion and politics. Although there is no clear link, religions shape the beliefs and lifestyles of the people, resulting in a great impact on Japanese politics.
The Japanese government is a constitutional monarchy, in which the Emperor's power is limited and lowered primarily by ritualistic obligations. The government in some states consists the executive branch, the legislative branch, and judicial branch. The Bakugan Taipei was a feudal political system in the Edo period of Japan. Baku is an acronym for Baku, meaning "military government" - that is, Shogun. Japan gradually became a democracy after the end of World War II in 1945 (Shipman). It took six years of occupation and a new constitution in 1946 to bring the changes.
Japan social hierarchy includes Upper Class, Middle Class and Lower Class (the labor class). Upper Class includes the royal family and Bussiness class; the class keeps utmost power and monetary freedom in the Japan society. Middle class includes Low Scale business men and Service men, who are laymen, common men work on the salary basis in companies or firms. The lower class is also called the labor class, includes people working every day working to earn their livelihood. (“Japan Social Hierarchy.”)
Gender roles in Japan have changed through every different period. Confucian ideas imported from China shaped the gender roles under Confucius system- loyal and courage (Kincaid). When men were expected to be loyal to their lords, women were loyal to their family and husband. Through World War II, gender roles gradually changed based on the harsh demands of patriotism. While men were educated in absolute loyalty to the imperial and nation, women's main duties were taking care of family and ‘childbirth,’ or poor women became "comfort women,” who were forced for sexually service military soldiers. In modern society, the notion that “men make money for their families” has still existed (Kincaid). However, the number of women involved in the economic, political and educational fields is increasing, that upgrades the position of women in society and helps them to expand their influence. However, loyalty remains a top priority; the loyalty to both the company and the family is equally shared between men and women. There are many literary works about gender roles. If Patriotism of Yukio Mishima, through the ritualistic suicide of Lieutenant and his young wife, expresses the absolute loyalty of men to the Emperor and the unit and of women to their husband, Spring Storm of Mori Yoko opens a social gap when the roles of men and women change places, the woman becomes the main source of income, that will lead to the breakup of marriage.
Two big news agencies in Japan are Kyodo-a cooperative sixty-three newspapers and Jiji- delivery of news to corporations, businesses, and government agencies ( “Japan Press”). The most prominent newspapers in Japan is Asahi Shimbun established in 1888, with two languages Japanese and English, Yomiuri Shimbun 1874; The Japan Times 1897 in English (“Top Newspapers”). Some famous television agencies in Japan are NHK general TV and educational TV, Tokyo Nippon Television Headquarters. Top three radio stations include NHK Broadcasting Center TV, AFN Tokyo, and FM Fuji: Independent ( “Japan Press”). Japanese media frequently update information of weather forecasts and natural disasters, which is an advantage for travelers. Although the filmmaking industry does not grow so strong in Japan, the animation industry has many achievements over the world. Japanese animations variety of genre, new content, form, especially no limit in the audience’s generations. Some famous Japanese films are Spirited Away- a story about a girl fighting in an imagine world to save her family, Nobody Knows- real story about Sugamo child abandonment case, "Love and Honor"-love and honor of the couple due to the husband's revenge against the high samurai, the recent anime movie “Your name”-A teenage boy and girl embark on a meeting to meet for the first time after they exchange the body miraculously.
The yen is the official Japanese currency, the third currency traded on the foreign exchange market after the US dollar and the euro. Bills are worth 1000 yen, 2,000 yen (very rare), 5,000 yen and 10,000 yen. Coins are available in 1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen, 50 yen, 100 yen and 500 yen denominations. Foreign currency is generally not accepted outside major international airports. Japan has a reputation as a cash- based society, but the trend has gradually changed, and there has been a significant increase in acceptance of other payment methods Credit or Debit Card, IC Card. (“Money")
Japan has a distinct national cultural identity; however, Japanese culture has been a combination of the traditional value and import of foreign culture. One of the country influencing to Japan is China. The Japan written language is believed adopting from Chinese script to make the communication between empires during the interference of two cultures more convenient. However, the development of Japanese and Chinese writing styles through centuries made them unique. An important aspect affecting the Japanese culture is religion. Although the origin of Buddhism is in India, Japanese Buddhism is the result of the spread of Chinese Buddhism, became one in two major religions of Japan besides Shinto. (“The influence”). The widespread of Buddhism lead to the birth of series of architectural works that combine Japanese traditional culture and religious culture; for example Butsuden at Myōshin-ji in Kyoto, Pagoda of Ichijō-ji in Kasai and Kōmyō-ji's Main Hall in Kamakura (Blair). If China made an obvious impact on Japanese writing and religion, Korean culture has left its footprint on many aspects of the culture such as music and dance, silk weaving, jewelry, sculpture, sewing. To observe the combination between two cultures, the travelers can visit Tamamushi Shrine of Hōryū-ji temple complex and the main hall of Asuka-dera Temple in Nara, or the "Crown-Coiffed Maitreya” Koryu-ji Temple in Kyoto (Blair). A clear example of Western influence on Japan is that Japan combines the traditional new year and western new year, celebrates the official New Year on January 1 of each year by the Gregorian calendar.
The traditional Japanese food is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes; There is an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Side dishes usually include fish, salads, vegetables cooked in soup. Seafood is popular, usually grilled, but also serves ingredients such as sashimi or sushi. A “Japanese meal” usually includes white rice, miso soup, and tsukemono, pickles. Soba and udon noodles, Yakiniku-grilled meat, Ramen-low-cost Chinese-noodle dish, Okonomiyaki-pancakelike dish (“Japanese Food”). Japanese cuisine spread throughout the world. In particular, Japanese food is often sophisticated regarding processing, presentation, style, and Japanese restaurants often have unique characteristics of decoration and costumes. Thus, the development of cuisine serves as a springboard for the expansion of Japanese culture. To Japan, visitors can not ignore the street dining experience with attractive and colorful dishes such as Okonomiyaki-Japanese pancakes, Watame-American carnival classics, Yaki Imo-baked sweet potatoes, Crepes, Taiyaki-fish shaped cakes, and Ikayaki-grilled squid (Spacey).
Because Japanese culture is more formal, going through rituals is another important way to show respect. The Japanese greet each other by bowing and saying "Ohayō gozaimasu," "Konnichiwa" or "Konbanwa" depending on the time of day. In casual and informal case, the bow is a small nod of the head, and become a deep bend at the waist to indicate respect. Japanese welcome every single person, even if they are in a group. Today it is quite common to use short greetings, such as "yā" and "yō." However, it is more common to say nothing between close friends. (“Japanese Greetings.”)
"Japan is considered as one of the highest context cultures in the world" (Frost). The Japanese appreciate the group, team working, even in businesses or social activities. There is the big distinction between those in the inner and outside cycle. One result if high context culture the is relying on non-verbal indications like the tone of voice and facial expressions than words (Frost). Japanese people prefer the indirect style of communication over a direct style so that they usually imply what they mean through volume, word choice, facial expressions, the tone of voice and gesture (Seifi). For example, the Japanese say “yes” usually meaning “I hear you,” not “I agree with you,” which causes the misunderstanding when interaction with the Western company. Japan is also an extremely time-conscious culture (“Time”). It is contradicting when Japanese use the polychronic time for each other, but strict monochronic time to work with foreigners and technology (Frost). A characteristic of the polychronic time when the Japanese spend most of the time socializing with colleagues; they combine the work time and free time to improve the co-worker relationships (Frost). Type of communication in Japan inclines to neutral style, which means that thoughts are more important than emotion (“Affective/Neutral.”). The Japanese rarely express the excessive feelings, they usually keep an impassive expression in front of other people, especially in non-closed relationships.
Traditional clothing in Japan is Kimono, which is still used in ceremonies and special events. In daily life, the Japanese’s clothing follows the western fashion. Nonverbal communication is important in Japan when the Japanese consider silence as ‘golden.' If eye contact is appropriate in US or UK, it becomes aggression in Japan. Eye contact can make the listeners uncomfortable, and be considered as rude or even sexually intrusive. Instead of pointing, the Japanese prefer to use an open hand to indicating something or somebody. The action that lets the wrist go limp and flop the fingers at the person means waving goodbye to someone; it may cause confusion for foreigners when this action seems like ‘come here’ in other culture. Posture shows attitude in Japan. Sitting with the arm or leg out is a serious sin in Japan - means taking up space; it is also a sign of confidence, which many Japanese people explain is too confident or arrogant (Seifi). An interesting thing in Japan is that slurping noodles while eating shows enjoying the food. The Japanese prefer standing at arms lengths from one another; the distance can increase when meeting a stranger (“JAPAN.”). In conversing, there is almost no touching between each other. However, the distances can be restricted in public places, such as pushing up in the subway; it is interesting that someone falls asleep with his or her head in other’s shoulder is common practice, and the Japan usually just tolerate it instead of trying to put his or her head away.
The sojourning will bring great experiences and much useful knowledge. A thorough preparation before the journey is the perfect start the most favorable trip.

last thing i'm going to say about this since now he can't keep my name out of his mouth, in public no less
i've never claimed to support "fiction being fiction" or fiction being wholly separate from the views of people behind it in reality. i've posted numerous times on here about the way people in the bakugan fandom and the show itself tackles themes of imperialism and colonialism, including my experiences with westerners and this topic in the eight years i've been on here. one of my most popular posts across platforms is literally the bakugan misogyny essay. ares, you've reblogged and agreed with these said posts. now you're going "wahh it's just a hobbyani!!" when i bring up how i think your interpreration of it sucks?
i've provided a space for discussion on "dark topics" like rape, grooming, abuse, pedophilia etc in my server because i believe that good storytelling doesn't necessarily mean the exclusion of these topics. i've also explained numerous times in group discussions (with you in them) that i like them specifically within the context of using them for institutional and societal critique. so no, i do not think "fiction is fiction" or whatever you seem to insinuate by that.
also, "my opinions about shit do not indicate how i feel about real world problems" - it may not provide a 1:1 correlation but it does say something about the shallowness of your understanding of them. like i'm not going to proclaim that you're a genocidal pro-israel cunt (even though you might want to look up that person in your discord display name and their opinions on that state) but the way you've approached discussing fictional narratives surrounding war is more telling about the shallowness of your understanding about how imperialism works. you've constantly brought up your religious and conservative upbringing for being part of why you dislike certain narratives, but when i bring them up to highlight how it's affected your understanding on larger scale problems, i'm full of shit? lol. lmao, even.
"my life experiences have shaped me to have certain preferences" - yeah, not just overt obvious ones, but also tendencies you haven't thought to think twice about.
anyway, i haven't blocked you anywhere. if you want to actually fix this, my dms are open. but if you really don't want to talk it over, at least talk shit about me and my friends behind a locked account like our mutual friends have told you to do.

every time i see bakugan tumblr people's takes on imperialism in the show it always gives off the vibes of some pussy defending usamericans joining the usa military within no mention of like, the people who were killed and countries destroyed by the us military. and this has been a trend for the eight years i've been here. you'd think some people would finally pick up a book on how imperialism works but i guess that's too much for a fandom that's predominantly made up of people who almost exclusively watch only kids' shows and need everything spoonfed to them
#and almost all of them are white westerners defending said imperialism in the show lmao! fucking tracks!#thank fucking god some poc actually joined in the past few years. i cannot stand the smell of white people on here especially usamericans

i wish we got to see more vestroian bakugan and neathians angry.
the bakugan had their physical forms altered against their will, made to fight each other for colonizer vestal and human entertainment, had their home colonized, was on the receiving end of an attempted genocide. and yet they are almost never portrayed rightfully angry except for a few key moments. i want to see more of them be hostile to vestals, maybe even humans as well, because of those experiences. the bakugan had to make themselves presentable and nice so that the people literally mistreating them would stop and think that hey, maybe this is bad.
it's handled a bit better with the neathians, where fabia is shown to be rightfully angry at gundalians. but even then the narrative chooses to focus a bit more on "not all gundalians" instead of the fact that neathia is on the receiving end of a genocide and invasion. i want more neathian characters who are openly hostile to gundalians. more who refuse to work with gundalians because of what the war has cost them. more of those that can't find it in themselves to so easily forgive and aren't completely demonized for it.
#maybe its just me being me but bakugan being a japanese show makes me think So Much of their portrayal of imperialism and colonisation#its also not lost to me how barodius - a gundalian - makes his most loyal servant sellon a ''corrupted'' neathian woman#not that its exactly a bad thing but its certainly a choice#bakugan

Handing out free reviews
Okay, so I feel like I owe a debt to past fanfiction writers who I never dropped a review for and as a writer now I can see how much it'd make people's day.
So I dont have the most diverse taste but I like to think that I can help out my fair share so I'm listing stuff I have good knowledge of:
The 100
Naruto
Supergirl
Dead To Me
The Flash
Dragonball Z/GT/Super
Bakugan(is this one even alive?)
Total Drama Island and its sequels
Ben 10
Pokemon
Riverdale
The Good Place
Euphoria
Avatar and Legend of Korra
If your fandom is not on the list, but is romance (F/F or F/M) then I can swing it too so long as it's fandom blind.
I'm sorry if your fic doesn't fall on this list, but that is the extreme extent of my taste in fics lol.
Length doesn't really matter to me and I think limiting it two longfics per person or five one shots seems about fair.

A Protagonist who is actually Evil
As mentioned, I am looking for a Male Protagonist who is actually evil and not a goody-two-shoes who either just sticks with the original protagonist to help him or save his fav character. If he just kills the original protag, then it will be the icing on the cake.
The Fanfics I am most looking forward to are One-Piece, Marvel/DC & Harry Potter. NO BL Please.
No Worm & RWBY Fanfics, please.
Also, I have already read all Sir Lucifer Morningstar, The Dark Wolf Shiro & Cambrian Beckett has to offer. Again, I don't want someone who has any strings of morality tying them back. For example (SPOILER) in Twelve-step program to omnipotence by Bakugan, the SI suddenly has a bottom line to not kill children when he was plundering Wakanda which was really disappointing. EVIL means actual evil and not someone who would help anyone out by giving shitty logic. If he helps, it has to have something to do with his plan, if he saves, he has to do it because he plans on doing something with them. Don't Forgive, Don't Forget. Cunning and Ruthless.
I am fine with untranslated fanfics as well, I am used to MTLs.
By the way, I have read all the previous threads concerning this topic and I have already checked them all out.

Just Started writing my first ever Bakugan Fanfiction
So far the first chapter has been posted and Chapter 2 is currently being written. I've added in a few things and the story of my OCs, Leonidas, Skyress, and Tigrerra will diverge the farther we get. I might write a prequel fic explaining how Leonidas became King of the DD, who Apophis is, and how he got Tig and Sky as mates, though I won't start writing that until I'm sure I'm ready to do that. Please gives thoughts, opinions, etc, etc.
Here's the link to it if ya'll are interested : https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13440486/1/Bakugan-New-Vestroia-With-Extra-Help and, if you feel like it, tell me which Half-sibling you like most so far. And if possible, please give me some valid criticism. I really would appreciate it as it might help me get better. Thank you.
