Happy New Year!

... Not to make an Ajit appreciation post or anything but-

Okay so you know how Geogan isn't really the best so far?? Well I'm just gonna say it. All the small Ajit moments really just really make up for it imo.

They're all really small moments but I just feel like they add a lot? And they all make me smile so much whenever I see them :)

Like just look at this.

Throughout a scene in episode four part one, Ajit's just chilling with Pincitaur on his head.

Then in episode 11 there's these two small moments where Ajit says stuff. One of them is a reference to something Ajit said in AA, while the other shows how well he knows his Bakugan.

Then there's this other small moment in another episode where Ajit says something, just a small comment that can be overlooked and laughed at (because it is pretty funny) but if you pay it a little more attention it can make you remember something about him that can sometimes be easy to forget.

Also in episode three (A former thief and a laid back dude) there's a small scene of Ajit silently laughing to himself while Wynton, Lia and Dan are talking. Probably about Pincitaur going small and sitting on the bench off screen.

Honestly while most of these small moments mean nothing to the plot they're all just so good to see??

Ajit's been through a lot in the past (abandoned by his parents, lived in an orphanage then ran away, got taken in by a thief, became an apprentice thief, chose what he wanted to do for himself and got abandoned again because of it) so you gotta figure sometimes it can be really difficult for him and he's extremely likely to have abandonment issues. So these small moments that show just how happy Ajit is now he's with the AB because he can just chill, be himself, occasionally play pranks, Bakugan battle and everything with people who will never abandon him just really make me so happy :)

Geogan might not be very good compared to the other seasons of BBP but it's giving these moments to Ajit and I really like it for that.

Can we just talk about Armored Alliance episode 47?

About how Magnus went from "Stay out of this, this is my battle." to actually wanting to team up with Ajit??

About why Ajit followed and helped Magnus??

About the friendship/relationship between Magnus and Ajit and what eachother's actions have meant to eachother??

I never used to shut up about this on discord but I haven't talked about it in a while and feel the need to mention it again

Magnus has only asked to team up with one person before (Dan) and that shows how rarely he'll ask for help. (Dan is also the only person to see Magnus show weakness and actually see and understand what he's really like before everyone else.) Then in the middle of a battle he stops and waits for Ajit to get his Bakucores before using his.

I think that kinda shows how he changed his mind in that episode, at the beginning he told Ajit "Stay out of this, this is my battle." Then in the actual battle he waited for Ajit, showing he'd accepted it to be their battle. Not just his anymore.

I really think by the end of episode 11 of AA they already had a certain amount of respect for eachother. Magnus saw Ajit isn't just some thief, he's a good brawler and he probably saw himself a little in Ajit. Ajit thought Magnus's strategies for getting around his strategies were amazing and he even compared his battle with Magnus to his battle against Dan which was the main thing that led him to choosing to become a Brawler. So I really like how their mutual respect is shown again in this episode.

At the time of episode 47 the most recent time Ajit had seen Magnus was when he saved Dan, before Ajit knew Dan was being controlled Dan was rude to him and shoved him away. Ajit definitely has abandonment issues from getting abandoned twice in his life so Dan shoving him away like that must've really hurt him and made him feel that Dan had started to hate him and was going to leave him. Even after Ajit found out Dan was being controlled by Haavik he was probably still really scared that there'd be no way to get Dan back. Then Magnus turned up and got Dan back to being himself and all Ajit's worries about Dan leaving him must've been put to rest.

This also adds more explaination and reason as to why Ajit decided to follow Magnus and help him out in episode 47, not just because he wanted to stop Haavik but also because Magnus was the one who brought Dan back and Ajit probably felt like he had to try and help him as a way to thank Magnus for saving Dan and putting Ajit's worries to rest back then.

Now I don't think Magnus realised that. He probably barely registered Ajit was there when he was trying to save Dan because he was so focused on his goal (breaking Dan out of Haavik's control) so he'd have no idea Ajit was greatful to him. Not to mention Magnus probably wouldn't have asked Ajit "What are you doing here?" If he actually had an idea as to why Ajit had followed him, if he knew he'd likely have said something more along the lines of "When did you get here?" or "I guessed you'd follow me.."

I'm unsure if Magnus ever figured this out (likely not) but I doubt Ajit feels like he made it up to Magnus. He lost in the battle against Haavik, Haavik ran away before Magnus could finish the battle, he probably felt really powerless after his Bakugan lost and Haavik pretty much threatened to kill Ajit, Magnus and both of their Bakugan, Ajit would've felt powerless and like a burden now he had no way to help Magnus.

It was probably lucky Haavik ran away or Ajit and Magnus woulda had multiple more problems on their hands or woulda had to retreat themselves which might've caused Haavik to destroy something or someone else, it could've ended up a lot worse. Not even mentioning the whole mental toll it would've taken on Ajit and Magnus, the two of them would've been so stressed and angry at themselves for loosing/letting the other down/putting more people in danger than nescesary. Which could make for a great angsty fanfic btw

Honestly I gotta say episode 47 is just amazing in so many ways. The Magnus and Ajit friendship we see in it, the struggles the two go through and overcome and the changes in Magnus's charcter.

Ajit: Hey I gotta admit soemthing... I lied earlier when I said I was sad about a fanfic, I was actually sad because of what happened in the group chat.

Dan: Yeah, I remember but I'm not sure what you mean-

Noah: It's basically just me being pure evil, I'm annoying Julia so it's worth it.

Noah: Say the f-word around me and I will fucking scream, f-word = formalities.

Ajit: If you're going to "Yeet me off a bridge" at least yeet me off a different bridge to the one you yeet them from.

Noah: Hhhhh I hate having to learn an instrument. My parents are always yelling at me to practice it, I asked to quit like four years ago, but they never listen because apparently I'll regret quitting it in the future if I give up like B R U H-

Noah: To be honest I just ran away from the teacher trying to put me in detention. Bitch I was two minutes late I'm not doing a twenty five minute detention for that.

Noah: Lmao I just passed people who look like they're from a posh school, while I'm just in my Danganronpa hoodie and shorts. They're in a grey blazer with a red and blue striped tie, ugh formal.

Dan: Ok I'll just walk up to some random dude and ask for help finding the pastry.

Dan: SHISNDKMSJS YEAH WALKING INTO WALLS IS MY SPECIALTY!

Noah: Setting fire to the food tech kitchen? *points at him, Julia, Paul and Felix* Yeah we'd do that.

Dan: Idk at least that's what the homework website says, I wasn't paying attention to the teacher in class.

Ajit: The place where a needle was viciously stabbed into my flesh hurts like hell.

Dan: I sAID I'M SORRY OKAY-

Noah: Wake up? Me? Nah I think I'll just stay asleep.

Ajit, Dan or Noah: HELL YEAH! LET'S ACTUALLY DO THAT SOMETIME! COMMIT ARSON!

Noah: Oh yeah Julia I said I'd send an image of Paul half yeeted into a pool right-?

Dan: Not typically a question I like to know the answer to on a Sunday night but I'll check.

Ajit: Listening to music can help?

Ajit: BRICK COLOUR-!

Noah: Paul stop rickrolling me.

Noah: Your braincell? Ah well sorry but it's my target for assassination, it's gonna have to die.

Dan: I might do that in a minute but I'm raiding the kitchen.

Noah: Sitting in the kitchen with a hot chocolate trying not to punch my dad.

Noah: We just got a spam call lmfao. They were all like "We understand you're the CEO of the Schmidt corporation" I told them no and they just- "Well thank you for your time-"

Noah: I'm gonna shut up about people getting posessed now-

Noah: Youtube just asked me if the video is "made for kids" it has people getting posessed in it what do you think youtube?

Ajit: I know it's not me she meant because I'm not called Dan and I actully helped clear up and I helped remove things from the ovens.

Ajit: This is why we let me get things out of the oven. Otherwise the cookies end up on the floor like Dan's did.

Dan or Ajit: DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN CALL ME OUT ON IT? WHO GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO FIND OUT AND EXPOSE THAT?!

Ajit: Just casually pirates TPN online, it's free unless viruses come with a price.

Noah: Why the fuck is the headteacher such a control freak though-

Ajit, Dan or Noah: Note to self, do not drink boiling water at midnight. It results in burnt tounge.

Noah: Lol yeah Shun is cute.

Ajit or Noah: Holy hell is it two am already? My insomnia prevented me from realising.

Okay so in Bakugan Geogan Rising there are more than a few plot inconsistencies. However I really feel the need to talk about two of them that are linked in multiple ways and both revolve around one character. Personally I don't think these inconsistencies are just mistakes and they could have a larger meaning behind them.

I'll start with episode four, part two: Magnus returns.

For a quick summary of the episode; The Awesome Are leaving school when they see Emily Black being carried and taken away by a Cubbo. The Awesome Brawlers follow Cubbo and end up at Everett Ray's Bakugan battle arena where Everett and Strata are trying to get Emily to battle Strata so Everett can get more views on his channel. Dan faces Strata in battle instead until Magnus shows up and takes over the battle, destroying all the cameras and defeating Strata in battle. Magnus then has a short conversation with the Awesome Brawlers and his sister before leaving and the episode ends with Dan saying "That's Magnus.. Good to see he's back."

Now all this may seem normal and you're probably thinking "So what's the inconsistency? Magnus shows up to save his sister, tells Dan that they will battle again sometime in the near future and then he leaves, seems normal enough?" Except that'd be wrong.

Because how did Magnus know what had happened to Emily or where to find her?

While the explanation might be as simple as he just saw the livestream online. I feel like there's more to it… Back in the episode Magnus PI, Magnus sees a video about the Bakugan battle league but switches it off and says how it has nothing to do with him. So what are the chances that he randomly sees Everett's live stream and decides to tune in? The only channel other than the news that Magnus is known to watch is the Awesome Brawlers' channel (This is seen in episode thirty, part one: Two sides of the coin). So unless the live stream's name mentioned Emily in it he'd have probably just ignored it.

So how did he find out? Well I think someone told him, likely over text. The only other thing it could've been is he randomly saw the battle while flying overhead, but the chances of that are even lower than him seeing the livestream, not to mention he appeared in a way that makes it obvious that he knew what was going on.

Now who could've told him? Well any of the following could be a possibility because they're the ones most likely to have contact with Magnus or they have a reason they'd want to tell him.

Dan

Wynton

Lia

Shun

Ajit

Riot

Emily

AAAnimus

Everett

However we can quite quickly narrow this down.

Emily wouldn't have had an opportunity to contact Magnus. Saying it was Riot would be too much of a stretch as there's no proof she knew what happened. AAAnimus can be removed from that list too because even if they knew what was going on they likely wouldn't bother contacting Magnus about it.

Now the remaining six.

The chances of it being Everett are so low I'm almost not sure why I put him on the list, however I do have a reason for that. Everything Everett did in this episode was for ratings and views on his channel. At the end of the episode he even says "Nillious battling did earn me a bit of a rating spike, while it lasted." It's because of this I put him on the list of potential people who could've contacted Magnus, if he wanted views and thought that Magnus battling with Nillious would earn him views then it'd make sense for him to want Magnus to go there and battle. It could've been his plan all along, bring Emily to the battle arena then force her to battle Strata in the hopes that Magnus would show up and take him down, earning him views in the process. It's even confirmed in this episode that he knew Emily and Magnus are siblings before Magnus showed up. However, it's seriously unlikely that he'd have been able to contact Magnus (and Everett isn't involved in the second inconsistency I noticed which I think is linked to this one) so we can take him off the list too.

That leaves Dan, Wynton, Lia, Shun and Ajit.

Dan was battling so he wouldn't have had a chance to contact anyone. Because they were standing either side of Emily, Wynton and Shun are seen throughout the course of the battle. So it likely wasn't them. We don't really see Lia but because of her reaction to Dan battling with Drago when there's a chance of him disappearing, it's really likely that she was just watching the battle hoping for the best.

However we can't exactly rule them out as they could have contacted him before they reached the battle arena. (The chances of them having Magnus's contact aren't high but they're not zero due to Magnus teaming up with them at the end of Battle Planet.)

That just leaves Ajit. We don't see him onscreen at all during the battle and as of episode forty-seven part two: Follow Haavik of Armored Alliance, it's known that Magnus and Ajit get along. Due to that I think it'd make the most sense if Ajit was the one who'd contacted Magnus. He had the opportunity to contact him and there's a chance he has contact with him because they get along.

(Proof that they get along? Ajit is actually the only person Magnus has ever been shown to talk casually, calmly and honestly with, without it being an act. Magnus respected Ajit and signaled that he accepted him as a teammate in their battle against Haavik. Ajit had flashbacks to his battle against Magnus when he was deciding whether he chooses to be a thief or a brawler, Ajit joked around a bit with Magnus in episode 47 and he followed him to help him out with following Haavik. They get along)

Okay, I've been talking about episode four for a while now. Let's move on to episode eight, part one: Magnus of the wild.

To summarize the episode, The Awesome Brawlers are discussing the events that'd taken place the day before when Magnus shows up at Studio D, he gives a backstory explaining where he's been then challenges Dan to a battle. Playing dumb and claiming to not believe the AB when they tell him Dan isn't there. Lia and Ajit offer to battle in Dan's place and Magnus much to everyone's surprise accepts their challenge. Magnus reveals Nillious's new form and the battle of Magnus Vs Ajit, Lia and Lightning begins. After attacking once Pincitaur falls asleep leaving just Fennica and Ferascal to battle Nillious. A geocore appears and Magnus uses it to summon a Geogan and defeat Ajit, Lia and Lighting. After Hyenix disappears and Nillious returns, Wynton and Shun take on Magnus. Seconds before he's wiped out, Nillious uses shadow breath to destroy the drome. Magnus and Nillious lose but it's revealed that it was all part of their plan and Magnus had never intended to win. In fact he was planning to lose so he could go to Vestroia and find Dan.

Notice the inconsistency? Once again Magnus knew something he shouldn't have. The Awesome Brawlers never tell him that Dan's gone to Vestroia and the closest they get to saying anything about that is Shun saying "We need to figure out a way to save Dan and Drago." and that's after Magnus has started his act so he must've known beforehand. He'd even started his act before the AB told him Dan wasn't there and that they don't know where he is. And since it's revealed in the end that he was acting so he could purposefully lose and go find Dan in Vestroia. The exact quote being "You got that right. I know Dan grabbed Drago's Bakuball and disappeared along with him. And I'm doing the same thing to find them. Now I'm on my way to Vestroia."

The Awesome Brawlers wouldn't have posted the video online and they couldn't have, at the beginning of the episode Wynton had only just finished editing all the footage together and also according to Wynton, it's only been a day since Dan disappeared into Vestroia so news of Dan being missing couldn't have spread to Magnus through the media.

So someone must've told him.

Since no one other than the AB (and maybe Dan's parents) know what happened, it must've been one of them who told Magnus. Once again I think this could've been Ajit. 

Assuming Magnus and Ajit exchanged numbers or some form of contact, it'd make a lot of sense for Ajit who likely has abandonment issues from losing his parents then losing the person who was like a father to him to reach out to someone after his closest friend has gone missing. Dan and Ajit are literally roommates and close friends, Dan was Ajit's first friend, imagine how badly Ajit must've gone through it after Dan disappeared, people leaving him is probably his biggest fear and the person closest to him just disappeared!

Going off on that Ajit would've probably been so filled with anxiety and dread that Dan's gone forever he wouldn't have been able to sleep and normally when he feels like that he'd be able to look over to where Dan is snoring and remember that no matter what has happened in his past he still has Dan and the AB, but if Dan was gone… He'd probably be too nervous to message anyone else in the AB because if Dan's gone who's to say they won't disappear too. So he probably confides in the only person he can trust, Magnus. He'd probably feel safe confiding in Magnus because they both know what it's like to be abandoned and Ajit knows that while Magnus isn't always there, he's a reliable person who's always there when it's needed. (For example, how Magnus appears in dangerous situations like when Dan was under Haavik's control but he doesn't stick around for long after or the more recent time when Magnus appeared to fight the ones who had literally kidnapped his sister).

So Ajit likely confided in Magnus over text and together they came up with the plan for Magnus to pretend to want to battle Dan then lose on purpose and go to Vestroia to find him. Magnus would help Ajit because he respects both him and Dan (As seen in all the times he saved Dan, the time he didn't stop Ajit from stealing because he'd rather battle him and the times he's teamed up with both of them).

Then Magnus and Ajit would act like it wasn't all planned out during the events of episode eight, part one.

Although I've already explained my theory on why I think it would be Ajit, I'll also explain why I don't think Wynton, Shun or Lia would've been the ones to tell Magnus.

Wynton and Shun have each other to talk to. (As seen in part two of episode eight.) They'll talk to each other about how worried they are and comfort each other. While Lia is a lot more likely to keep things to herself or talk to her Bakugan about it than confide her worries to someone she barely knows.

Ajit is the only member of the AB other than Dan who actually knows Magnus, there was one moment at the end of Battle Planet when Wynton seemed to be seeing Magnus for who he really is but that was the only time, while Dan has risked his life for and has had his life in the hands of Magnus. And as mentioned earlier, Ajit can understand Magnus and his battle against Magnus was one of the reasons he decided to become a Brawler and to quit being a thief. And since Dan was in Vestroia he can't have been the one who told Magnus.

So there we have it. That's my theory, sure it's pretty far fetched and in some places it devolves entirely into headcanon territory there it is. Ajit is the reason Magnus knew what was happening those two times in Geogan Rising. While this is probably, most likely, wrong. At least consider the idea. The two were getting along really well in episode forty-seven of Armored Alliance but since then there's been no mention of their friendship or that they know each other at all. Which just doesn't make sense to me as they made a seriously powerful team in battle and got along so well and there's just been no mention of it since?!? Not to mention how if someone didn't tell Magnus what happened both of these times then how else could he have possibly known about Dan going to Vestroia? The chances of him seeing the livestream are small but there for episode four, but in episode eight? There's really no explanation other than a plothole or Magnus just overhearing the AB's conversation when he went to Studio D to battle Dan.

So yeah that was my theory. I had to rewatch episode four part two, two times and rewatch episode eight part one, three times to help me gather all the evidence to support my theory. Worth it though, those episodes are great and I managed to notice something in episode eight I wouldn't have noticed otherwise and I got this theory from it sndjndjdnsjs
