Bakugan & Name Meanings | GI

Fabia & Serena Sheen: "Sheen" is from the English word meaning "radiance, shininess". "Serena" means, well, "serene". In the Japanese dub, the name is for some reason changed to Celine, which is ultimately from a Latin word meaning "heaven". Fabia, on the other hand, comes from a Latin word meaning "bean", specifically the fava bean. Yyyeah, I guess we all know who was the favorite daughter. Fabia is also the name of a Byzantine empress, Fabia Eudokia.

Jin: from a Japanese word meaning "compassion, benevolence". Adorbs.

Elright: probably from "elf" and "bright".

Linus Claude: "Linus" is from an Ancient Greek word meaning "flax", while "Claude" comes from a Latin word meaning "lame" or "crippled".

Ren Krawler: "Ren" can mean either "love" (as in, specifically romantic love), "lotus", or "clean, honest" depending on the kanji. Unfortunately, it's written all in katakana so I have no idea which one it is. I think it's probably one of the latter two, since the first one is more commonly a girls' name. If you're keeping track, this means both his and Fabia's names have something to do with plants. His last name was most likely chosen for the term "web crawler" in reference to his programming skills, as well as the fact that in katakana it's spelled out "Kurora" and "kuro" in Japanese means "black", referencing his Darkus attribute.

Mason Brown: self-explanatory. In the Japanese version he's named Bruce Brown for some odd reason. Yeah, I think I like Mason better. Anyway, "Bruce" comes from the name of the town of Brix in northern France.

Jesse Glenn: "Jesse" ultimately comes from a Hebrew name meaning either "gift" or "existence", while "Glenn" is a Scottish name meaning "valley". In the Japanese version his first name is Ethan, which is Hebrew in origin and means "solid, enduring", and would've honestly been a better name for a Subterra brawler.

Zenet Surrow: I have no idea where "Zenet" comes from. It could be from Hungarian "zene", meaning "music". Alternatively, it could also be either the Greek name "Zenaida", which is in turn derived from "Zeus", or the Turkish name Ziynet, which is in turn from a Persian name meaning "ornament". As for Surrow, it's probably from the Slavic surname Surov, which is of unknown meaning. In various Slavic languages, "surov" is also a word meaning "raw, undercooked", which is hilarious. In the Japanese version it's changed to Sirone, which is one letter off from the Finnish surname Sironen, which is derived from either a word meaning "delicate" or the Germanic name Sigfrid, meaning "peaceful victory".

Sid Arkale: "Sid" is a short form of "Sydney", which means "wide island". As for Arkale, no idea. It's similar to Italian "arcale", meaning the arch of a door or a window. It's also vaguely similar to the name of Italian film director Franco Arcalli, who collaborated with the Italian resistance movement during WW2. Make of that what you will, I s'pose.

Lena Isis: "Isis" is definitely from the name of the goddess, which itself probably comes from an Ancient Egyptian word meaning "throne". As for Lena, it's a short form of various names that end with that letter sequence, like Magdalena or Helena.

Hi there, sweetie!! 💫❤️

I've seen you make random hcs about bakugan characters.

Can you do for Linus, Rafe and Paige? Pretty Please 💖🥺

AAAAAA Hello!!! <3 I will do my best but I haven’t watched thru season 4 so idk much ab Paige and Rafe ;-; so I’m sorry if I miss the mark completely w/ them lmfaooo

Linus:

Sexuality: tbh I could see him being ace but either pan or homoromantic, he needs a handsome prince to sweep him off his feet 😌

Gender headcanon: once again, I think Neathians have a different view of gender, but in terms of human gender hes probs a little more masculine leaning

A ship I have: ok hear me out,,, Sid- HEAR ME OUTTTT. I think the way they’re connected in loss fuels this ship mainly also I’m thinking a sort of beauty and the beast type thing with Linus and Sid omgggggg you guys LET ME COOK ;-; I actually kind of like him with Fabia too, mainly bc Zelda has converted me to the badass Princess and her most trusted knight agenda.

BROTP: honestly… rubanoid. I think once again through their losses they’re able to become very close partners together. I also like the idea of Elright being like someone he looks up to/a mentor figure

NOTP: AJAJSJSSH I honestly can’t think of anything just bc there’s so much of nothing for this character I’m willing to listen to anything

Random hc: I love the idea of him being from a small town/modest life (again, like Link) but he ends up being hand picked for knighthood. I’m sure he had to be amazed by the Neathian capital

General opinion: I feel similar to him the way I feel ab fabia,,, held back by the writing. I always felt like he’s just like the typical good knight character who they don’t really delve more into as a person, other than the backstory/moments of him and Neo. Both him and Fabia are characters I’ve had to force myself to see more into bc upon first and second viewing I just really did not care much for them. I’d say I have a bit more appreciation for them now tho

Rafe:

Sexuality hc: pan, wants a hot goth partner to step on him

Gender: what we would consider gender nonconforming for sureee

A ship I have: going off the goth thing what if him and Sellon 👀👀👀👀 (once again I know almost nothing ab these characters I’m just going solely based on first impression lmfao) also him and Linus could be cute 😳

BROTP: Marucho?? I was gonna say either him and Shun would get along well or they would butt heads idk

NOTP: Paige lmfao

A random hc: I’m honestly surprised he’s not related to Fabia in some way I could see him being a cousin or something

General opinion: he looks like a pathetic twink (very affectionate)

Paige:

Sexuality hc: BUTCH LESBIANNN WBK

Gender hc: definitely masc, a he/him lesbian for sure

A ship I have: hear me out,,, Paige and Julie would be cute 😳 Subterra coupleeee

BROTP: if Sid lived they would be besties for sure. I think she’d get along with Mason and Ren pretty well

NOTP: I have not seen her shipped with anyone honestly maybe Dan lmfao 💀

Random hc: Shes an oldest sibling, definitely comes from a big family that we’re probably hella traditional but she ended up being the cool lesbian sister

General opinion: I know almost nothing about her but I love her 10/10

“So, uh, out of curiosity... How did Ren become part of the group before he turned traitor? From the stories you’ve told me about the brawlers over the past year, it just sounds like he--”

“Appeared out of thin air by hacking his way into the Interspace, when it was completely private, with damn good security, and Marucho let him in, purely because that’d definitely be a good idea. No joke.” 

“... Ah.” Linus looked bewilderedly at Shun, “So you were already suspicious, even before the princess came along, because he hacked his way into something he shouldn’t have had any ability to get into... And none of you knew him before hand?”

“Mhm. Total stranger to all of us. That was the day that I realised that while Marucho is smart, he’s not very wise... Which has, as you can see, caused problems.”
