- Battle Planet happened. Distribution was a mess. So they rebooted it again? Now we have Bakugan with a whole new coat of paint. Is it an upgrade? No, it's not. You won't even recognize it anymore.

Let Dan rest for the love of god
Love ur pfp and user
He’s rebooting twice while Ash is having more Pokémon Anime Seasons.
@@Lemuel928 Ash' story ended like a year ago dude
Who else they’re gonna put in the front lines they’re not gonna replace dan
@@BurashiP3 yeah and he's been around like 97 his story should've been ended
What i loved about the original is that while Bakugan was made to a game by humans (and also Vestals later) it was NOT a game at all. It was serious business, heck in the third season Gundalian Invaders there was a straight up WAR for gods sake
To be fair to me season 3 is where it got a bit messy. Like it stops feeling like bakugan past season 2, but it's nothing compared to the remake
The OG S1 Bakugan forever
But S2 was nice
S3&5 no
S4 was good I loved the disgn for the Bakugan
Today business they think children can't handle complex stuff....
When I was a child or teenager I perfer some complex and darker stuff. Look at anime they been pushing that like it a regular basics not brain dead children show. Look at the famous children show bluey even adults love watching the show since it not dumb down brain dead baby levels.
Humans love things that is consistent of interesting stuff not repeat of fart jokes lead to nowhere
@@TheDragonfriday leads to brain rot
@@daviddimitrov3696Not really, at no point does it ever stop feeling like Bakugon. As the concept itself never changes.
The powers and how they’re portrayed do, but that’s expected as time goes on…you’re going to figure out more stuff, better stuff. Use logic.
All the seasons made sense and added up correctly.
Whether or not you wanted it to be simple is the factor, and that’s where it started to get a little bit more complex in nature in some sense. Which people didn’t like.
as a kid i loved the semi realistic designs of the bakugan, sad that they went more in a cartoony artstyle. even as a kis i never played with the cards just collected the bakugan
I didn’t even know it was a card game until this year when I skipped around the episodes for Carmen Melville’s debut in Season 1, Ren Krawler’s debut in the final episode of New Vestroia (which, apparently Bakugan turned into Voltron and Zexal idk why), then his next appearance on episode 8 or 9 of Gundalian Invaders (which, apparently he has a Ryuga-esque backstory and Ryuto appearance (Ren also looks like the leader of Team Desert Blaze from Beyblade Metal Masters), AND they already went through the deception arc in less than 10 episodes. I have no idea why Ren’s VA changed from Kyoya to Tsubasa then back to Kyoya). I thought it was just like Pokémon but with different balls, but apparently they have magic spell cards too and can Fusion Summon Digivolve too ig (idk, I only watched like 10 episodes of the OG Digimon)
The look like a furries. Specifically scalies and Bara. Like how did he develop abs and then question breathing fire as a dragon.
@@pastelx7 fr they look to much like furrys
I knew of the card game but had no one willing ot play with me so I only bought the toys ;-;
Wild thumb nail to see how much anime artistic sensibilities have changed.
for the worse unfortunately 😭
It seem like a chinese “anime” with a toy line
(IDK if the animation studio behind the current bakugan is a chinese one or not)
@@minhnguyenquoc8509 It's TMS.
@@reallyradrabbit
The worse?
@@Signerdragon123 oh really thanks, I thought it was a chinese studio bcs I used to watch alot of chinese animated show in which it's sole existence wast to sold the to even down to the style as in the art style
MY least favorite part about this whole system, is there will be zero "Playground bakugan" with this version. Its something beyblade failed at during the burst series, but luckily the shape of school chairs makes it work. But the BIG part of these games for the kids is "Can i play this with my friends at school?" Because getting to your friends' house isnt as easy to do but you see them everyday at school.
This is what made old bakugan, yugioh, pokemon, beyblade, super popular. Your parents could get you 1 10-15 dollar product, and now your kid is occupied every lunch period, and they have something to do with their friends. Packing a beyblade or a ygo deck, or 1-2 bakugan and some field cards was SUPER easy. It took up a very small amount of space, and was extremely portable, while not taking anything AWAY from the experience. Beyblade the least so, but even then because the rules were so utterly simple, it was also really easy to *come up with your own way to play!* You could make a stadium out of dirt on the playground, or do it on the basketball court. Maybe you launch it down the slide, see how far it goes or whose bey reaches the bottom the fastest. Plus, most school chairs are roughly stadium shaped. With bakugan as long as you had the field cards and your bakugan itself, you could play literally anywhere that was a roughly flat surface. Desks, tables, the ground, didnt matter. However, with the new system, if you wanna use the spinning bits, you would need to use something roughly shaped like a stadium, but you also need the cards in the middle and that wont work on anything OTHER than the designed stadium, and aint no kid fitting that in their backpack and pulling it out at lunch.
The ability to play the game practically anywhere massively affects how many return customers a product like this gets, and as-is their not gonna get a ton of those. Kids cant take these to school and play with them, cause the new field cards wont stick together unless they are held together, and so it just becomes a mess in the backback or on whatever surface you decide to use. The rules are too specific to be able to make up new ways to play, and the design of the toys is extremely rigid. these are not good playground toys, and thats not good.
So, I have to admit that I'm confused why the most contemporary iteration of the series looks more like the 2009-2012 era of animation akin to Huntik, Dinofroz, and D.I.C.E. than the adjacent series of our modern zeitgeist like the Yu-Gi-Oh Rush franchise like the prior take of the franchise.
I feel like the Yu-gi-oh sevens and Go Rush anime look more colorful than 2023 reboot of Bakugan.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 I was saying that Bakugan 2019 looks like YuGiOh Rush while Bakugan 2023 looks like 2012 generic action game series.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 Even though I'm not a big fan of the new style I do agree with that statement.
@@tomforge614 facts to both
GREAT VIDEO.
G1 Bakugan will always be my favorite. Hands down.👍👍
All I remember from the first series, like he ends a dimensional war and uses up some cosmic wish for eternal friendship which awakens something with in his Bakugan but the raw power literally hurts him and is uncontrollable and he loses the fight to some Newbie
?
wtf you on
I've watched the whole series and I'm confused. To be fair season 4 was kind of a mess
Generally that’s what I remember I could be splicing various plot lines as 1 but it was a long time ago
I think they are failing to understand their target demographic by trying to understand their target demographic
They are trying to fix something that was never broken.
For real the reboot was perfect from gamplay standpoint. They failed at pricing, tv show and welcoming the new players due to failing to deal with secondery market.
I loved how in the orignal, the bakugan were in ball form, or in their open toy form. So if you had one on your desk, or shoulder, it would be the same as in the show. The giant monsters only show up while battling which just is awesome and show you imagine it as a kid
Yea, OG bakugan has two sides, cute when in toy form and awesome in monster form... But now making bakugan always in monster form only made it looks generic and boring
Personally, I like the original Bakugan series more in aspects of both anime and toys.
I'll admit that the reboots are trying and I respect the cast and crew for all their effort.
However, the reboots seem to diverge more and more away from what made Bakugan, well, Bakugan.
For example, the toys' play aspects tends to replicate that of Beyblade and overcomplicates it a little.
The attributes seem more Pokemon like than the unique aspects of the Bakugan attributes.
As for the characters personalities now, I'm not even sure how to describe how I feel about them to be honest.
I understand that they need to evolve, change, keep up and appeal to new generations as well as their likes and dislikes but they need to do that without overly changing Bakugan's signature identity.
I'm gonna still give new concepts a chance but I can't say that my like for the new concepts will hold even close to half the weight of love I have for the Original Series.
I agree. Plus i think the G1 anime did a good job setting up a believable universe for the toys. Like it wasn't just, "hey, here's some kids using the toys you can buy irl in a cool story!" The series had some weight to it
@@stardrive9171 It like what vanguard did with cray, you can feel the connection between the planets
it should take inspiration from more tcg like yugioh
@@chidaluokoro9104
TCG?
@@masterace9543
What who did with who?
When I was a kid I had the toys and literally just played them like they were dolls. They had names and dated each other and killed each other. Card game whomst
The true essence of childhood. Toys either kiss or fight, regardless of what their "intended" purpose was
based on the thumbnail, it keeps regresing just like ben 10
Exept that ben 10 Just regressed once and It wasn't even that bad
@@microcelltechnicalassistencethe character regressed often
@microcelltechnicalassistence As a massive ben 10 fan, disagree. Ominverse was a regression (not major but still) that was good in the end but was still a regression, and then so was the reboot (which again also had some cool stuff but was very much a regression).
@@samuelturner6076 well tecnically yes, though i think that Omniverse made more than enough to deserve to not be Called a refression even If It was
@@microcelltechnicalassistence I still have to disagree. Sure by the end Omniverse was doing some cool stuff it still had the regression of the earlier stuff and was for a more younger audience in tone all throughout.
I don’t hate Ominiverse or anything but it definitely doesn’t match up to AF or even UA.
I haven't seen Bakugan since its original series and I didn't even know of the prior reboot, it's been THAT long.
Trust me you haven't missed out on anything
@@smasher3261
Say what?
@@dylansharp8471 aside from the first reboot taking out subterra and changing all the icons I don't really care about the reboot
@@smasher3261 They are taking away elements? Wtf nah i'm not gonna consider the reboots canon then at all and i didn't like the reboots to begin with. This adds another reason as to why
@whitedragonzerureusu4480 I started hating the reboot the moment they took subterra away. I have no regrets. They did made a Leonidas toy, so there's my only positive about the first reboot
11:16 I see, the Yu-gi-oh Arc V approach
Did....did Bakugan learn nothing about gimmicks from the failure of Mechtanium Surge?? I have no confidence this reboot will work out
Bakugan G3 feels more like a preschool show than an older kid's show.
Well anime is usually target teenagers, that what original anime goal with serious plot make things more interesting.
I never understood when company learn kids want a consistency interesting show.... not baby dumb down. Like bluey a children show that even adults have fun watching it too even dogs since the color choice they pick make it easier dogs able to see since they're color blind.
@@TheDragonfriday Yep kid me would see the new bakugan then look for the very first og series where it all began. Then be disappointed when they watch the new reboots. The rebooted characters are boring, drago has become more like a gary sue oc. The new reboot Bakugan designs are not as interesting as the old ones. It's the same as beyblade they just don't look like cool mythical japanese creatures anymore. Just water-downed generic plain animals
Honestly, the G3 Bakugan series reminds me of both Transformers Generation 2 in terms of the toy line and Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Arc 2 in terms of the cartoon.
G2 was mostly part-G1 reissues in EXTERME 90’s colours plus BIG GUMS and some new figures including the then-revolutionary Cyberjets.
@@rayvenkman2087 I meant that with transformers G2, Hasbro had more or less rebooted the franchise quickly and prematurely which spin master has done with Bakugan
G3 performed so badly that the second season has been cancelled. All season 2 products produced have been ordered to be destroyed by the factories. So, uhm, yeah.
Oh damn...
Thank God for that
I will be forever salty about Alice's final brawl.
Why?
fr
@@dylansharp8471 If I'm remembering correctly, her last duel was against Shadow Prove (and his Hydranoid rip-off) and she lost. The strongest bakugan of the original main 6 lost to a robot...
@@starstruck8862 I think Hydranoid was weaker when used by Alice and she didn't use him effectively. She just doesn't have the nature and same determination and strategic mindset Masquerade had. She also just lacked that cunning that hydranoid was good with. I think the battle would have gone a different direction if he came back and partnered up with Hydranoid again. But alas he got a good character growth and they let him go :/ Still my favourite Bakugan antagonist. I liked Spectra as a bad guy too and he was a good rival to Dan. The one thing i didn't like the most in that season was Lync's fate. I really liked the change he was going through with his interactions with Alice, then they just had to kill him off like that :/ I wish he got to survive... Have Alice come in and save him... Alice is a sweet girl but she was pretty useless compared to Masquarade. I don't see many people comment about what happened to Lync so i'm not sure how many people care about it like i do. I'm also annoyed how easily Alice just forgot about him. Like he disappeared and she did nothing about it. Why didn't she try to find him? Sure he was the enemy and she didn't like him but at the same time it was foolish of her to not try to find him BECAUSE he was the enemy and she should of kept an eye on him and if she did that and kept interacting with Lync like she was already i think she would eventually see Lync's new behaviour and his character growth. I think he would of changed and not have been their enemy anymore and it looked like he might of developed a crush on her too which i thought was cute (I like the enemy to lovers or to friends trope okay ^^)
Dan and Drago Are forever the main faces of the franchise
I think you'd enjoy talking about the Buddyfight anime as it has some attributes of alien monsters having to integrate with human society.
In a funny way, Buddyfight is the bakugan reboot if it made sense
11:27 So basically those duels from Yu-Gi-Oh Arc v
Oh god no.
Nah arc v duels rocked.
Action Duels were considerably more complicated than that because it was basically just regular duels with action cards and every action card had a different effect, including trap cards with negative effects. Course later into the anime most duels just disregarded this aspect of the game in spite of the continued use of action fields.
Maybe it's because of the red outfit but it suddenly popped into my head that you'd be a KILLER Spectra cosplay
Late comment but that would be interesting and cool to see if he does that
Is that Failboat's great arch nemesis, JettKuso?!
Nah, it's KettJuso
This is dumb, if it’s going to happen, it should happen with the original show, but with different characters, maybe it could be with the POV of the original Dan's friends, , maybe Shun can be the main character, I would love to see that.
13:13 20:05I hope it’s a joke, it doesn’t have to do with racism.
It’s like if Konami choose to reboot yugioh dm and gave yugi a generic blonde haircut and turned the pharaoh into the surfer bro they turned him into for the Singapore dub.
Literally, no one has bought bakugan in my state and city besides myself
Which sucks for me
@@Laval2400 I can't find any groups that play the new Digimon TCG so i know how that feels ;-;
If you haven't played Shadowverse on Nintendo Switch, that's the right way to make a video game in the way of a Saturday morning anime. I'd love to see a Bakugan, Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon card game show like that.
Btw, Shadowverse is also available on mobile(and the REAL cards are sold as well)
@@sonicanvaspost6867 Ah, thanks but I'm only really interested in the video game. Does the app have a story mode?
@@sirmel11 yes! It does have a story mode :3
And I think they also introduced a new deck class? I remember there is one nonsense called Portalcraft
Man i played shadowverse when it launched on pc literal years ago like i was in high school. Such good memories im glad they are still supporting the game
@@aleisterknight2190 There's an anime one!
I remember in 2018 I tried to get into the card game but couldn't find any cards, now I know why.
I've been seeing the split ones at work, I always assumed it was for a fusion mechanic like in the last two seasons of the OG show. I didn't even realise they were from a reboot series. I hope this seris is good for the new generation of watcher's.
The fact that the attributes were removed makes me incredibly annoyed. In ways I cannot begin to comprehend.
Honestly, a Bakugan × Transformers collab would be lit
It probably would be great
As someone who started watching you more recently, the "keep playing" sign off makes so much more sense now.
seeing several yugitubers such as mr alex cimo and paul from team aps in this is crazy
Hehehe they turned Drago into Agumon. 😂 I also love that the whole mood here is "It's not good, it's just for kids. 🤷♂️"
Have you thought about doing Monsuno??? I remember that the opening was a banger
I don't get how none on the production team or the higher ups get that kids just want to be cool if you make your game cool instead of goofy then people will play it
I was an optimist about it at first, and then I lost interest in gen 3
It feels so strange too see someone else exprrss exactly how I feel about the Gen 3 Game compared to the TV Series. Like the show is dope but the physical game is very lackluster. Hopefully in the end it will work out for the absolute best but only time will tell. Also side note I love your hair 😊
TC lookin like he joined Organization 13.
I really wish they actually did something with the splitting gimmick cause we basically got the Bind System for a affordable price.
Come again?
@@dylansharp8471 Gen 3 gave us the Bind System from Bakutech but for an affordable price. They also ain’t Japanese exclusive.
Totally loves the owl house mic.... The reboot of Bakugan is my worst nightmare cuz of my brother cuz he replied the same ep everyday
V in a nutshell: "Bakugan killed my parents, okay!?"
unfortunate timing, considering we got news that G3 is dead just the other day...
So are they gonna reboot again?like gen 4?
Oh shit!!! Cimoooooo and team aps are we sure this wasn't the Yu-gi-oh
Seriously you’re such a legend! Thank you for making such great content throughout the years!!!
Insane collab! loved the vid
Beyblade is so so good. I freaking loved Beyblade Burst. I'm guessing it did well enough since they're bringing X over to America this year.
Can they just buy the rights from sega and go with that one? These last two have been atrocious
im grateful for the og with a great anime and great toys(for the first 2 seasons) and the reboot for amazing toys and gameplay but an alright cartoon but the new reboot fails in both aspects imo. compared to beyblade with hasbro cooking bakugan should just rest at this point
I'd like to think this is like the Hot Wheels Shows Reboots!
4:01 I mean, the second reboot lasted five seasons, one more than the original (not counting the anime adaptation of the Baku Tech! manga) so they must have done _something_ right.
No idea what it was though, considering everything that they did wrong...
Well made video and pretty much summed up. Bakugan is very interesting place.
Obviously I love and miss the original Bakugan show and character designs but I really loved the designs from the 2018 show. It had a lot of character to the designs and the style was more distinct than both the original and new versions.
21:11 - There's a SOUP!? WHY ARE YOU AT SOUP!? 🤣
Is it me or does TC's brother sound like they're doing an impression of Ken Ichijouji?
This was great. Explains exactly how most of us feel regarding the new reboot. I wish I was excited about Bakugan again. I didn't even stick around for the end of the first reboot. The community was strong but the support from Spin Master was lacking. I hope they can turn it around but I'm doubtful.
why are rhe new bakugan designs look like it was designed by a furry bara artist???? 😭😭😭 i like them but why???
I kinda like the second half of the anime, yeah there's a LOT that can be done good and I just wish it was more like a new generation rather than just rebooting everything and reusing characters
What they should have done with the anime is instead of rebooting it, they should have done what (yugioh/somewhat bayblade) did, and basically do spinoff sequel. That way the universe still feels connected you can have references here and there for nostalgia but also have a new cast and add new rules or whatever, and simply call it an evolution. instead of what they did with Dan & Drago. Like most of the new characters in G2 were neat (except knockoff masquerade #3) but the new Dan should have been a new protag. He genuinely annoyed me and made me wish for old Dan.
But thats just my thoughts as someone who grew up with G1 bakugan as a younger kid
I loved the bakugan gen 2-3 tv shows tbh . Haven't played it but it's not for oldies only 😅😅😅
Omg having Jet Kuso is so great! Didn’t expect it, what a pleasant surprise
Yo thanks for your review on the anime! I think your point at 10:59 regarding the dissonance was exactly what I was feeling when watching the anime! There was this huge weird feel to it because of that.
I really don't like the new attribute system. So, take transformers for example. Dinobot would be in the Dino clan and Waspinator would be in the Insect clan. But what about something like Godzilla, such as Deathsaurus? Would Godzilla and Deathsaurus be in the Dino Clan or Dragon Clan?
And don't get me started on something humanoid like Taylean or Cyndeous
@krimsonklaww611 I feel like any bakugan that don't fit in the Dragon, Insect, Mammal, Dino, Aquatic, or Avian clans would fit in the Misfit clan but even then it doesn't feel right. In my honest opinion I wish they would had both
I watched the new vestroya series in my childhood. But all I remember is cool bakugan designs and some sexy male antagonists 😄
Can we just let Bakugan rest in peace. Listen these new bakugan can’t beat the original
Yeah
Bakugan G1-Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, Bakugan: Battle Brawlers New Vestroia, Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders, and Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge
Bakugan G1.5-Baku Tech! Bakugan and Baku Tech! Bakugan Gachi
Bakugan G2-Bakugan: Battle Planet, Bakugan: Armored Alliance, Bakugan: Geogan Rising, Bakugan: Evolutions, and Bakugan: Generations
Bakugan G3-Bakugan (2023)
Oh my god it’s reboot squared
This is a funny video to watch after walking home from the mall after digimon tcg locals, lol
I remember watching the Bakugan show as i kid, liked it quite a lot. Re-watched a lot of stuff years later on youtube as well.
seeing the new series has given me a thought/idea for the series, but I seriously doubt it would be done properly given how companies are more profit motivated these days if they attempted it.
The idea is a kind of remaster of the original series. using it as a template, everything will be refined without changing its core elements. So it would largely be the same story and characters. But with this small things can be added and changed to enhance the story over all. Later sessions can be foreshadowed better with more consistent elements. They could find ways to make better use of characters that were not used much originally either (never liked how they ditched half the main cast after the original season). over all we should get more of what we originally loved rather than loosing anything.
they could even use the change to make the game mechanics a bit more complicated, adding to what as originally there so there can be more actual strategy to the game.
(latter seasons would probably be change more because of the domino affect)
there are probably a lot of things that could be added if i thought about it deeply, but yeah, i doubt any of this will every happen. As i said before, if they did it would probably get interfered with and ruined by corporate.
They should have just made a show about Alice and how she is her living life
2007 Will forever be THE Bakugan
Collab from negative legend
12:20 Destroians gain superpowers when paired with humans, Superman gains powers in proximity of a yellow sun
Where is Negative Legend’s computer wallpaper from ?
As long as it keeps being uk alive then im cool with it.
Plus i just wanna get my hands on some og bakugan for me to collect
The new toys are way too desperate to eat Beyblade’s lunch. Just let Bakugan be Bakugan!
I literally don't remember Bakagun having a sorta reboot because I'm not familar with the anime.
You should do a video on Buddy Fight. It’s so good. It’s on CZcams
still waiting for spinmaster to remember tenkai knights exist
There was a Bakugan reboot? Also, there's another reboot?! Is it a reboot of the reboot?
I still have hope there’s a second season and hope for the franchise
They called along the line of Misfit or something similar, right? (Asking because my adventure group in D&D called Mist Fits, and I hope they don't called the same, and I'm also curious now.)
I can see what they were trying to do with Bakugan but it didn't work as well as they wanted. It's trying too hard to be Beyblade and all of the toys are expensive so parents aren't going to buy them for their kids.
I swear if I was rich I would sue this company so so sooo hard THEY DESTROYED BAKUGAN FOREVER all you had to do is copy beyblade and make new cast of characters and replace Dan with someone new. I swear it just got ugly to worse because the classic was 2d not 3d
After finishing this video I have to say I hope it sells well with the kids because I want to see more bakugan in general! I do not like the toys that much, but I'll still be collecting the few I do love.
Dang... Didn't know that they even rebooted. Now I'm hearing it's their second time. And hearing possibly why is a bit sad.
Look at how they massacred my boy...
i loved the 1st gen also because i think they explained how the work and its rules so when you as a kid or teen played the game you basically already knew whats going on, also there was no arena just magnetic cards and the bakugan itself and i thnk it was WAY cheapper then this one ( i love when a show about games actually explains the game rules)
Im curious now, are you planning on making a video for beyblade X? Would love to see it
I miss Dan’s brown eyes… there is so few anime characters with dark eyes and I just miss it so much-
If they wanna sell just make a line of og bakugan for new rules
The OG Bakugan toys and series are still the best ones in my opinion
Remeber when bakugan recreated Amuro vs Char right down to the swordfight
11:29 um yugioh arc V anybody with the arena
Damn it,I have to go to work so,I'll watch when I return home.
Wonder what’s gonna happen if he managed to even bring back the previous 2 series for G1 they would probably do an upgrade for kind like X-Men 97 or G2 well that could’ve been something else
to this day I think the best game adaptation was the PS2 one
Gosh that arena would’ve be *so clean* in the OG era
Honestly, and i belive i'm not the only one, i used to buy backugan toys only because of the cartoon, I never knew how to play
