A bit of a side note but I did NOT expect Percival to be shorter than Drago-
A few of my NV bakugan, but badly drawn.
Well I've finished up Bakugan New Vestroia
In many ways it was basically like Sonic Adventure 2 where it improved basically everything over its predecessor (also I did notice some parallels between the two...). In other words: absolute peak
I begin Gundalian Invaders tomorrow.
Watched all three Egypt missions without stopping to make posts, so;
Ep 11- Egypt's Worst Battle
Ace is prophetic about the vexos- they do want more than just Drago
Dan and Baron share a braincell, and it complains that they can't see Abyss (they want to see her too!!)
Egypt is real pretty
Robo paradise (why is there so much robot--), also robot bby form appears
Hidden Codes, but they're not hidden in the slightest
Invisible guards make an appearance
Baron is a Dumbass(tm)
Baron sounds pained even though he's not brawling
Elfin won a desert battle.
Mira confirms Ace's prophecy of the Vexos wanting more, and then immediately looks suspicious
Twin moons are good, but uh... This is Earth??? Shouldn't it have 1 while Vestroia has 2?
Ep 12 - Dragone / Mira backstabs and immediately regrets it
Ace calls Mira out to the player for being suspicious. He's gonna have a fit when he finds out he was right.
HELLO SPECTRA-- D-Dan, at least he asked in case first; he is going to inevitably take Drago, but at least he's polite!!
Drago-only battle, but only so a cutscene makes sense.
Night battle, but with no mission attached... Sad.
No crystals- the objective is just to deal with Helios
Hyper Dragonoid's Burning Aura- sounds like a buff, but it's actually an 18-ish hit combo starter, for some reason...
We win! Until Maxus Ex Machina says no.
DOTCmc recognises Maxus Helios before he fully forms, and gulps in response.
Drago almost crushes DOTCmc
Mira is both a backstabber and the leader... She's the imposter in a game of among us
Screams of Anguish (now Mira flavoured)
Mira is so upset she goes to run off and yell at Gus
Ace doesn't blame Mira at all for her actions... Yey /s.
Ingram evolved because of popular demand.
Ep 13 - Find Mira, part 16
"Spectra! I'll never forgive you!" Ace, Mira is also responsible, not just Spectra.
"By herself? I can imagine Dan behaving that recklessly, but not Mira!" Ok, Mr Sabotage-Mission-for-My-Own-Ego, I don't think you're allowed to comment on recklessness.
Dan pretends he's Shun, and fools no one.
Marucho's walk animation is a waddle...
DOTCmc has Doubts(tm), bc he lost Drago of Mira's volition
Beat the Vexos, using Vexos Passes...
"If I was MC, I would've kicked that guy down!" Serena/Shaymin, he's on treads... How would you even go about that?
The guards' FOV makes everything you do in front of them funnier
Invisible Guards can't see Invisible MC
Mira expects them to fork Drago back over, like a dumbass.
DOTCmc only now figures out what his "Reason to fight" is, even though Shun told him to find one seven missions ago. It was Friendship, obviously.
Gus wants you to please shut up about togetherness/power of friendship (mood), but then implies that togetherness requires Gus' Authorisation for it to be ok... what.
Popular demand evolving Ingram made the Mission's battle harder, bc Serena/Shaymin hasn't evolved Nemus yet, which is hilarious.
"HYUHHN!" I agree, Percy.
Baliton reminds me of a puppy
Mira's reaction to your holograms going down makes it sound like pointing it out is painful for her
"AUUUAGH!" I agree, Vulcan
How does Percival not wound anything? He uses his sword in melee so often
"EX... CALIIBUURR!!" DOTCmc sounds crazed, which is Good- really highlights the "Get out of my way or face my wrath" vibes!
Swordboy and Punchyman have a close battle, both at 10% or less health
Percy does a mini pirouette in his victory animation!
DOTCmc, Mira, why would Gus have Drago?
"You may have won the battle, but we've won the war!" Gloating a little early there, Gus
Abyss is the Resistance's Satnav to Shun and the portal to the core.
Ep 17- The shortest auxiliary mission / Magical girl throws down with a dragon
Time to get Drago back, baby!!
“Finally! We’re about to hit the Vexos where it really hurts. You’re not thinking of backing out now, are you?” Ace, I trusted you! How dare you betray me by still not trusting me at all!!
Crystals gone, but you’re still unable to brawl- Fun!! /s
“Spectra’s gonna go all out in this next battle. You can win, just don’t forget what I’ve taught you!” But... What did you teach me, Shun? DOTCmc learnt to brawl off of Dan, not you, and you’ve only been around full time for the last three missions!
There are only three guards in this longass hallway. If you want to Core energy farm, do so here. It’s the easiest auxiliary mission.
Stealth tool your way through. Or sneak, because the robot guards rotate.
I’ve never realised until now how weird it is to have figurines of bakugan laying around. For the love of Abyss, the Battle Brawler bakugan that aren’t Drago are still statues in DOTC; can you imagine showing the Resistance a statuette of one of their bakugan?
Core Energy galore. Woo!
Ok, so; Energy farming. How you do it is, you save the mission once, then return to Marucho’s plane. Then start the mission again and get all the core energy. Return to Marucho’s plane, and repeat from there until you’ve farmed as much core energy as you want. It works on any auxiliary mission. Easy way to upgrade to your hearts content!
You can save in between returns to Marucho’s plane, btw, if you want.
The theme for the area is makes the area look like an insult- epic music, but it’s a long corridor.
“Well, Well. Look who it is. Drago, aren’t you happy to see him?” Colossal roar
He’s so gonna try to murder us. That’s what happens after a lot of crystal exposure, I guess? He stomps towards you, anyway.
Elfin time!
Ok, so the electrostasis bubbles are in fact in three battles.
DOTCmc is now in the “I’m doing whatever I must, and no one can stop me” mood. It only took him 15 missions to get him here, which is more time than it took BBBmc to get there. Murderous tone is here too!
“Drago... he’s like the awesomest Bakugan ever. Don’t let him get ya from above and... try not to hurt him!” Dan, please stop tearing my heartstrings out.
Dan goes from Sad to Hyped within 5 seconds. Good to know.
That was a quick brawl... Although I do wonder how Drago lands flat on his back with the massive spine spike he has.
“And that’s how you win a brawl!” According to Elfin’s teachings... Douse the dragon in enough water and you can beat it.
“If I had more power, I’d’ve won easily...” Spectra then promptly goes wormhole jumping. Into the core of the Earth. How he doesn’t land in the lava is beyond me.
Ok, so they can actually understand their bakugan, they just can’t use them in battle.
“Dan!!” Drago is happy to see you too.
Dan is the only Resistance member to pick up his bakugan before you do. Everyone else takes theirs momentarily from you, and then gives them back (besides Shun)
He says Spectra used the perfect core remnants in his reborn body (From Neo Dragonoid onwards) to get to Abyss, but I’m still sure he needed some of Abyss’ energy to truly locate her, which is why I feel Hyper Dragonoid is a much bigger threat in the Vexos’ hands than just Neo Dragonoid- Abyss hasn’t evolved him yet.
“I’ve found the last bakugan trap to make Maxus Drago! He’s going to be unstoppable!” Marucho, your optimism is cute, but DOTCmc started the game by beating Maxus Drago using an unupgraded Neo Dragonoid. I don’t think unstoppable is true. Also, he gets Spitarm last.
Shock! Horror! It’s... Something we’ve seen before. Why is it shocking to see Maxus Helios?? Is it because he’s in front of Abyss’ crystal?
“Spectra, stop!” Mira, that’s not going to work.
Mira looks so defeated when saying “Show him what it means to fight for something you believe in!” because she’s slouching backwards a bit, and looks dazed... Or that may be because her eyes look a little dead on account of being a Vestal.
Angry boys, but then there’s forever smiling Marucho.
Maxus fight in the core time!!
Maxus bakugan are so bulky...
Ep 17 - Goodbye Abyss.
Maxus Helios has 150% health.
51 combo can be achieved on Maxus Drago.
Abyss has a really nice speaking portrait.
“Please, destroy me. It’s the only way!” The only time the must be willing to destroy something to protect it phrase has ever made sense to me. Defenders of the Core? Destroyers of the Core.
Abyss’ crystal genuinely looks like a heart, which is accurate for the life blood energy of the Earth.
Goodbye, Abyss... Why is your crystal still there?
Helios can be defeated now. Good!
Quick battle, after Abyss dies, at least.
“No! My plans! Ruined! No!!” Spectra is a mood.
Abyss rebirths herself, and reverses the crystal curse as a result. Now you can brawl.
“Good to have you back, Baron!” Aww... Nemus is a sweetheart.
“It was tough, but we made it! Let’s not go through this again, ok?” Percival is gonna lose his shit when he finds out about newgame+ (aka, Maxus Helios playthrough)
“Mira! It’s nice to see you smiling for once!” Wh... What was that, Wilda?
(Doing two lines here, bc my heart--) “Ingram!! I’ll never lose you again!” “You did everything you could; don’t blame yourself.”
“Yup! Did you miss me?” Elfin is as Elfin as ever.
“The feeling is mutual, old friend.” Drago’s happy to be able to brawl with Dan, basically.
Mira tries to convince Spectra to stop being Spectra here, but I know damn well he’s gonna betray her again.
The Core’s collapsing, because Abyss’ crystal is gone.
Baron is crying, and I think Ace is smiling because we’re leaving. At least he says thanks for the help??
“Now that we can brawl again, it’ll be a cinch to free the other brawlers and send the rest of the Vexos packing!” Dan I don’t like what you just implied. Let me help you free themmmmm.
“Most importantly, I learnt what it means to fight for something I really believe in.” DOTCmc finally figured out that fighting for the sake of his existence not being in permanent danger is a good idea.
“Don’t forget about us!” 1, no one in the fandom did, 2, DOTCmc basically lives with his Resistance; he can’t.
“Hahahahahahahah!” “What’s so funny?! Do you know how worried we were?!” “Well, he appears to be fine.” “So, what was the problem?” “There were no problems with the installation!” “I think it was just a freak incident; let’s battle one more time, Dan!” “Say what? You sure you didn’t hit your head?” “Maybe he’s not ok after all... I’ll run some tests!”
TIL, DOTCmc disliked brawling so much that, apparently, him wanting to brawl is very worrying.
andddd~ End! That was the whole thing. I could do the Maxus Helios one, but it’s nigh the same.
Given that they never appeared in the anime (with exception of Hyper Dragonoid), I’m tempted to redesign the Abyss evolved Resistance bakugan... Since they appear as their Attribute Energy evolved versions during battle.
(also excluding Cosmic Ingram, but that’s because I already gave her a design)
