Bakugan Battle Brawlers is an anime series about the lives of creatures called Bakugan and the battle brawlers who have the deep power to wield them. Bakugan ("blast circular") is a strategic card game played with magnetic, spring-loaded marbles that flip up to form Bakugan action figures created by Sega Toys and Spin Master.[1] The series debuted in Japan on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2007. The show had its North American debut in July 2007; 2007 on Teletoon in Canada. The show had its USA debut on Cartoon Network on February 24, 2008. "Bakugan" airs on Fried Dynamite's Dynamite Action Squad Saturday mornings at 11:00.[2] The show is a co-production from Nelvana Limited, Spin Master, Sega toys, Sega Corporation, TMS Entertainment, and Japan Vistec, the last two of which provide the show's animation.[3]
The program also airs in Australia on Network Ten's Toasted TV and in the United Kingdom on the Cartoon Network.
Main Characters
- Dan Kuso: Dan is a 12 year old boy who loves Bakugan. His greatest ambition is to be the number 1 battle brawler in the world. He is a Pyrus battler. He is very quick to temper and he is in love with Runo, but he doesn't want to admit it(neither does Runo). His guardian Bakugan is the Pyrus-attribute Dragonoid(nicknamed Drago).
- Runo Mizaki: At the age of 12, Runo is not your typical pre-teen girl. Runo is a tomboy who loves playing Bakugan with people that have skills to show off. Runo is a Haos battler. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Haos-attribute Tigrerra, who is very obedient to her master and powerful in battle. Runo hates when people think that just because she is a girl, they can beat her. At the end of the series she and Dan are seen on a movie date.
- Marucho Marukuros: He is a wealthy, 11 year old who is very generous and smart. He is what you could call a walking encyclopedia. He loves to play Bakugan and he also likes to work on strategies. He used to be extremely obedient to his parents just because he wanted to please them, but that changed when he met the Brawlers. He now has no regrets for the past, realizing that he only wanted to make his parents happy. He is an Aquos battler. His Guardian Bakugan are the Aquos-attribute Preyas and the Haos Angelo/Pyrus Diablo Preyas. Preyas was sent to the Doom Dimension in Marucho's battle with Klaus Von Hertzon. Later Klaus shows up with Preyus. Dan and Runo find a way to get Preyas back through defeating him in battle. Preyas evolves into a two-sided Bakugan called Preyas Angelo (Haos) and Preyas Diablo (Pyrus). Unlike the other Bakugan however, Preyas multiplies when he evolves, so Marucho got to keep the old Preyas. He is short and small. Preyas also has a move called "Change of Attribute" with that he can take advantage of the opponents gate card.
- Julie: She's 12 years old and tries to stay happy even when the worst has happened (for example, when Billy ended up under the control of Masquerade), her acting happy after something terrible happened is generally just to cover up her real feelings. Julie forgets things easily, proving that she is a little scatterbrained at times. She is always up and happy with a positive attitude. She is a Subterra battler. At the beginning of the series, she is shown to have a crush on Dan (which led to some arguments with a jealous Runo), but later, she likes Billy and accepts a date offer from him and they start going out. Julie has a sister named Daisy who has bested her in everything since she was a child. Her Guardian Bakugan is Subterra-attribute Gorem.
- Shun Kazami: He is a very strong, silent, cool type 14-year-old. He is the former 1st ranked Bakugan player who later moves down to sixth position. He is a master of Bakugan, and is also Dan's childhood friend. Shun is a loner, a boy of very few words, yet is willing to help his friends at every turn almost. He is a Ventus battler. He approaches Bakugan like a ninja. He lives with his grandfather (who used to be a famous ninja warrior) who once expected Shun to follow in his footsteps instead of playing Bakugan. His Guardian Bakugan is the Ventus-attribute Skyress whom Shun received from his comatose mother in the hospital.
- Alice Gehabich: She is a 14-year-old-girl and, the princess of Bakugan from Moscow who doesn't play Bakugan. Michael Gehabich is her grandfather, but after learning that her grandfather became Hal-G and works with Naga, she constantly worried about him. Alice usually just gives advice to the brawlers, instead of battling. Alice and Marucho are the 2 brawlers who mostly use strategy. Although unlike Marucho, Alice gives her strategies to the brawlers. During season 2 she left the Brawlers after finding out that she was Masquerade out of intense guilt over what she did as him, but later returns in time to save Dan and Drago.
- Masquerade: He used to be the number 1 Bakugan player before he left Alice's body. His goal is to send all Bakugan to the Doom Dimension with his Doom Card, so he can evolve his Hydranoid and have the Ultimate Bakugan. He is a Darkus battler. He is revealed to be Alice in episode 38 and 39. Masquerade came to being when negative energy changed Alice. (Who doesn't know she is Masqurade or what happens when she becomes him.) Alice's Grandfather was also affected by the negative energy and he was changed into Hal-G.(A man working with Naga to destroy Earth and Vestroia.) He battles with Dan in episode 38 and loses. He is actually Alice, but Masquerade disappears from her body.
- Joe Brown: Also known as Webmaster Joe. He lived in a hospital with his mother. The Brawlers used to think he was working for Masquerade, but he actually sent a message to the Brawlers to warn them that Masquerade was plotting against them. When he met Dan, he said he would only tell him if he was working for Masquerade if Dan beat him in a battle. In the middle of the battle he fainted. When he woke up they asked him to be one of the Brawlers. He gladly accepted. Sometime after he moved to the Brawlers neighborhood, he found Wayvern who had the Infinity core inside her. Wayvern's attribute is Infinity which is positive energy. Wayvern is Joe's Guardian Bakugan. At the end of the last episode of Bakugan Joe and Chan Lee are seen on a bench together holding hands.Joe is the first person to beat Masquerade at Bakugan.
