Man, it sure was nice of not!Char to ask for the protagonists to give up Drago. It's like my dad always said, you won't know for sure unless you ask. And given how Ace has acted so far... as we sure the Vexos are the bad guys? They clearly have superior fashion sense and manners.

So is there any real reason that Drago's supposed to be so special, aside from being the protagonist's bakugan? It just seems like if all bakugans are alive and Keith still cannot believe the big anime villain is named loving Keith has a bigger, stronger dragon, then Drago should be pretty irrelevant to their dumbass planet-killing plan.

So at the end of season 1, Drago absorbed the two Bakugan planet cores into his body in order to unite them into the Perfect Core, which restored balance to Vestroia and brought the six attribute worlds together. At the start of season 2, Drago has to separate from the core in order to help fight against the Vexos, but there's still plenty of the core energy left in him so he's considered highly valuable. Spectra wants to use this energy (and also the entire Earth's core) to make his Bakugan, Helios, the strongest Bakugan in the universe.

Technically the big anime villain is Spectra Phantom. Keith is just his real name.

From checking the enemy Vexos are Spectra Phantom, Shadow Prove, Mylene Pharaoh, Volt Luster, Lync Volan, and Gus Grav.

Today, it's time to start the final push for the Resistance! We've tracked down the Vexos headquarters to America, where they've set up the origin Crystal almost completed their path to the Core. Even without Drago, we can't give up the fight! There's no time to waste; let's brawl!

We think about maybe leaving the game for our proper universe for 5-10 seconds and silver hair guy takes it as proof that he was right all along and lectures us for ages. Mira actually goes through and betrays everyone, potentially dooming the planet, and all he says is she's "as reckless as ever".

As someone who lived in New York for most of their life, I can confirm that roadside collisions and a hostile alien takeover would be taken in stride.

I know, right? I get that Bakugan is one of those "power of friendship" buddy anime so everybody's gonna be friends again anyway but everyone seems way too chill with Mira.

If I remember right Mira backstabbed the good guys like twice in the actual series.

Today, it's time for the final push against the Vexos! In the heart of New York, the Resistance has discovered where the Vexos base is located, as well as the origin point for all of the world's Vexos Crystals! Now that they're far into enemy turf, will our heroes be able to infiltrate the base and save the core in time? Find out on the penultimate episode of Let's Play Bakugan: Defenders of the Core!

Turns out Ace just hates foreigners. He made a huge stink about having humans in the Bakugan Resistance in the show.

Man gently caress the crystals your guys really need to focus on figuring out this teleportation technology and/or stopping these assholes from just leaving every time you beat one.


Also I don't know if the VA for Shadow is having a great time being doing such a wildly over the top voice or just hates this.

Shadow is my favorite. He's like the one having fun with this whole thing, he's like Palpatine in the prequels.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


Oh poo poo! I watched the poo poo out of bakugan back in the day. I watched all of the series. Bakugan is so stupid I love it.

drat, if I can ever join as a guest I’d love to talk bakugan. gently caress!

I also do appreciate that all of the Vexos have dumb edgy names but their leader is actually just Keith.

Well he goes by Spectra when leading the Vexos, the real weirdo is Gus.

:siren: FINAL UPDATE TIME! :siren:



It's time for the grand finale! We've finally entered the Vexos base, and the only thing standing in the way of the core is Spectra and his wily schemes. Can we fight back in this last confrontation to save Abyss and stop the Vexos, or will the core crumble in Spectra's bid for power, dooming the Earth and asserting the dominance of the Vexos? It's an all-out brawl to the end!

Thanks for watching! The next LP probably won't start for another month or so since my weekends are kinda packed, but look forward to the next project soon! Until next time, keep on brawling!

Baron, Ace and Mira all come from the planet Vexos. They are effectively equivalent but still distinct from humans.

Oh for gently caress's sake, why are the rest of the Bakugan only talk at the last part of the game? And only one line for that matter!

Thanks for the LP of this game, it reminded me of a lot of rather mediocre titles I got back when Blockbuster was a thing.

So they don't tell you that in the game's main plot? Guess you probably have to read it in the item descriptions. This game is basically just Dark Souls when you think about it.

I'm guessing most people who would buy this game are fans of Bakugan and thus would know about it already.
