Anyone else realize that Leonidas is the most powerful Bakugan in the game, story-wise? Think about it; Leonidas defeated all of the Brawlers' EVOLVED Bakugan, while he was in his first form. Anyone else agree?
OH SHIT HE DID Well he was comprised of all the negative emotions of God knows how many Bakugan were sent to the Doom dimension. It makes some sense that he was this overpowered in his first form alone
The Otaku Dragon Slayer and if you consider the nonets and their mechtogon from the 2nd arc of the 4th season which very few people like it makes sense that Leonidas is op also is it me or does the new core dragonoid from the new line looks like Leonidas’s ball form
A partnership is always a two way street. Just like how the player changed Leonidas into a more mellow Bakugan, Leonidas helped the player mature and toughen up. They both grew and learned because of each other. Really interesting dynamic.
@Lacey Williams Well uh... sorry to say, but Bakugan seemed to be marketed towards boys, so the studio that made the game didn't see the need to make a female counterpart. Of course, you could probably mod the game to feature a girl model and voice.
What I loved about this game is that it felt like an actual episode of the show, I just wish they made some sequels set in the other shows (I would've loved to see Leonidas get a couple new evolutions and some Battlegear)
19:47 through 20:06 Drago: "I trust Leonidas." Leonidas: "Drago I was born in the doom dimension and until I came here I hated all bakugan. Even so you trust me?" Drago: "Regardless of the past you've proven you're on our side that is reason enough to trust you."
@Hattan AlShutaifi as he appears once again in the game and is now getting a toy. Next step is going to have to be him making it into the show as this isn't like the old Leonidas from Sega this one most likely will appear in the show. I mean he has to, he is a fan favorite and most people would like to see him in action
Imagine there being other Bakugan games like this where the protagonist continued fighting alongside the Brawlers, with it telling the events of New Vestroia, Gundalian Invaders, and Mechtanium Surge, with each time Leonidas evolving. There could be a form of yin and yang between Leo and Drago
I remember someone making a comment. Go on Deviantart and search for Abyss Leonidas. The comment talks about that in the video game Universe, Leonidas is Dharaknoid’s descendant. Yes, that means he takes Dharak/Razenoid’s place, except a good guy through and through. Gundalian Invaders is a bit different as someone mentioned in that comment since Neathia and Gundalia doesn’t exist in that version, what takes place is a Bakugan Interspace World Championship. I then made a comment than in the video game’s version of Mechtanium Surge, Mag Mel and Razenoid somehow survived from The Final Takedown, and he arrived in the Video Game universe. When he found out about the Player and Leonidas, he feels insulted and outraged that these two are the ones who took their place in this universe since Leonidas is Dharaknoid’s descendant, and disgusted that they are friends with Dan and Drago.
Both I and a friend actually have a (still in the works) fan-fiction that does that and more only the stories play out a little differently. But leonidas is even more powerful than he is in the game mostly because he’s an attribute changer like preyas only better and has more evolved forms.
ChipperStreams To be fair, the Darkus characters voice actors at least voice 5 different characters. It's so stupid when you think about it. And Bakugan is notorious for having the same voice actors. They're almost as bad as English Dragon Ball, but that's just Christopher Sabat voicing 60% of the cast. I mean, they kept like 3 of the voice actors from the original series into the reboot. Tiko is voiced by Helios.
This game was my childhood they shoulda made a proper sequel cause honestly the games went down hill after this one I loved the game play in it I wish it got a proper sequel
29:10 The 1st game was the best game because the main character had a voice actor, the legit voice actors of the battle brawlers were in it, and the main character had a main OP bakugan, and to top it all off it had one BADASS ending
It just feels like the childhood dream of every child and fan of Bakugan battle brawlers. We always want to be a part of the Bakugan universe and be a part of Battle Brawlers. The plot of the story is magnificent as well. It honestly feels like an episode straight out of the series, with us as the Sixth Battle Brawler.
I played the ds edition of this game and I never thought there'd be voice acting. I knew the wii version would be way better, but this brings out so much.
This was my childhood. I wish Leonidas and Vladitor were part of the toy production lime. The show clould really use the two since Bakugan is coming back.
Yarata well hes gate card and ability show a picture of HAOS leonidas soooo yea even way he can be every attribute just that darkus is the most using one for leonidas because he is from the doom demension...meh i just used ventus...
Same here. Its my main post-game deck right there. Gate Cards being Omega Leonidas(Gold), Haunted Night(silver), Mega Warrior(Bronze) Ability Cards being Omega Leonidas's signature card, Roulette of Fortune(the strongest version I mean) and Dimension Four.
Shun is more ninja in this than he was in all of the show. Edit: Did not realise I basically made the same comment 2 years ago. Wow. Guess that shows how much he surprises me.
Joseph Raines II I never watched the other versions of bakugan. Not new vestroia or that other one involving robots or something. I think OG bakugan is where it’s at
This is my childhood. While not the first game, Bakugan was no doubt one of the first anime’s I ever watched. And I played far too much of this game. I don't regret that at all. I was always a Pyrus Brawler. I could never be anything else. Subterra, Ventus, Aquos, Haos, even Darkus. Darkus was probably the closest attribute I had to a second option, but I was always Pyrus. As I grew up, I got smarter. I never beat the Bronze Tournament. Then, I got the game on Xbox, due to finding this video a couple years ago. (Like, 4 or something) I finally beat it, overcoming that ultimate challenge at that time for me (I think it may have just been a game crash that constantly happened, cause I feel like I did beat it, but could never battle Vladitor). I grew up, and as I battled through the other tournaments, I grew up as well. And when I beat the game, I knew that there was only one Bakugan I could ever call my partner. And that was Leonidas. Leo and I are a great team. We took down both Vladitor and Masquerade and won, and we had to figure out how to win on our own. But as we rose higher, we crushed all opposition and took first place. I still hold those battles we fought together deep within my heart. No matter how cynical I may become, I will always have my partner Leo at my side. And we won't ever give up! (secretly glad that the tournaments after the Tag Team they weren't Tag Team (I lost only twice through my total battles, both from the Tag Team Tournament because of that stupid give 300 G-Power to the Bakugan who landed first gate card combined with Level 2 Power Battle (Worst. Battle style. Ever. The AI cheats like hell, never failing, and you get hardly any G-Power, yet they get 100s in seconds while you get 50 in 5 seconds and lose 100 because it forces you not to do anything, yet they continue to get more even when they aren't allowed to)))
I think we can all appreciate how much effort they put into this game. It had a pretty good story, phenomenal voice acting, you could choose to play as any attribute, and even if the battles weren't ever too hard, they still managed to keep you on your toes. This was a game I wasn't expecting much from and it exceeded all of my expectations.
Well the lesson that your character gives to Marduk about moving on even if you lose your partner is sort of ruined when you get your bakugan back and he gets nothing other than a minor taunt from the player Edit: apparently I missed a shot of a purple ball floating off screen during the final cutscene with the character and Leonidas. Although I still believe that’s just to represent like his spirit or something. And also vladitor still being in marduk’s team during matches after story mode. Well the devs needed a strong darkus monster for Marduk
Not sure if I prefered the text-based speech and dramatically watered down cutscenes of the DS or the half-hearted voice acting and fully animated high quality cutscenes of every other console.
CaptainRed1000 Now that I am watching these cutscenes again, I am wondering the same thing. Some moments and quotes are kind of cheesy... (Nice to see you there btw)
@@the_real_idoit8166 Pretty sure they can still bring back the old game for a remaster. Just gotta talk with the companies and such to let it happen. Give something to appeal to the fans of the OG series.
Mine was originally supposed to be pyrus but I accidentally clicked on subterra instead but it’s grown on me. Besides I always affiliated darkus as an evil element when i was younger.
@@ScorchyTS To be fair, that seems to be the “canon” element according to the art on his character cards. At least, that’s the case for the DS version, idk if the art changes in the console versions.
The scene with Leonidas transformation is for me one the badass power up scene i've ever seen, plus the end with the music clearly make you feel pity for Vladitor at the end. Truly a masterpiece
I’ve only played the DS version of this game, so I had no clue the console versions were more definitive in the cutscenes as they’re fully voiced, and even have music tracks from the actual TV show, but it’s nice to know about this now.
I think that moment at 1:11 is a lot better than the one in the DS version, because this one, you can't see him, though in the DS version you can clearly see him, so this version made me a lot more excited to see what he looked like.
I feel like Leo being clearly visible in the DS version adds to the mystery in its own way, since the design is so vastly different from any other Bakugan, and you only see it for a split-second. It gives the player that sense of “Wait, what am I looking at? Is that a Bakugan? Oh he’s gone now. What just happened?” At least, that’s my take on it, having been heavily invested in the show prior to picking up the game.
I remember this game being fun as hell. Only thing is, your choice of attribute can REALLY make a difference at certain points in the game iirc, and I remember picking Haos...yeah, let's just say I more or less picked hard mode for the final boss.
i will always remember this game fondly i had such a blast playing it. It really sucks this was the only Bakugan video they made the story mode actually wasn't that bad and the Arena's were SOOO COOL!
Damn, I literally grew a friendship with Leonidas even though he is a fictional character. I really like Leonidas, he is powerful but without the help of the player, he could not defeat all of his enemies. Especially that last battle, phew, really talking about how the player and Leo bonds that made them beat Marduk and Vladator.
Bruh I'd love this because it was a like a real episode of bakugan Especially since it had the real fast members of the show plus the guy who played the main character did an awesome job
Only ever gotten to play this awesome game on the DS, and I’ve always chosen Aquos so it made me sooo excited to see these with Aquos Leonidas since most people only ever seem to choose Darkus, Haos or Pyrus in their videos, so this was such a treat for me! 🥰🙏🏻 Love the video! This makes me excited to try the game on one of the other platforms! Thanks for showing off this amazing game!
One thing i love about this game is either in every console,their gameplay and story are the same heck even some of brawl animation look the same. Basically when it comes multiple console (back in the day) they always have a different story, gameplay.
If they made sequels of the games; here is what I think they could do. Season 2 could show the Player and Leo arriving on New Vestroia and decides to help the brawlers, even freeing a Mechanical Bakugan with the brainwaves of a living Bakugan implanted within. Could show them fighting the Vexos to free the Bakugan and stop a new threat. Season 3 could show Leonidas and the player being brought to Nethia after encountering Fabia in Interspace. They agree to help but learn Leo is not known within Code Eve's database due to his origins in the Doom Dimension. They would then search for answers about his origins and fight Gundalia to receive the answers; even agreeing to take on the evolved Titanium Dragonoid to earn the truth. *Edit* Season 4: (Pt 1) could show the Player receiving Marucho's distress message and making his way to Balugan Interspace with aid from Spectra. There, the player finds he's Leonidas acting strange and eventually witnessing the birth of their Mechtogan. Leonidas and the player must fight friend and foe alike to figure out what's going on and stop the evil force known as Magmel. Season 4 (Pt2) could show the Player and Leo spending time in Bakugan City when encountering Wiseman and the Nonets by mistake. From there, Leo must aid the Brawlers in stopping the attacks from the new enemies as well as a strange spirit that has been haunting Leonidas since his first encounter with the mutant Mechtogan.
I feel like Leonidas how he takes his anger out towards others like I do but I feel like this is more touching than the Nintendo version but this game is always golden
It would be awesome if Leonidas was cannon to the actual series instead of just the game. Honestly I like old Bakugan series than the 2023 series. I do go back to watching the old Bakugan series once in awhile, the only Bakugan thats missing is Leonidas even tho he isnt cannon to the series
14:12 thought this was kinda funny, this scene is designed so that only Masquerade and Leonidas talk while the MC says nothing, bc Masquerade and the MC share the same voice actor 😂
lucky 4 u bro, he's actually a haos bakugan look at his gate card and ability card tho he can be any attribute but that's his original or natural attribute.
I also made Leonidas a Darkus type so I could be the missing type in the brawlers since it did always bug me in the original series they didn’t have Darkus for most of the first season and they always made the type the villain in every season
Fun fact the Player's name is none other than Riku So basically Leonidas' is grounded and stable thanks to Riku 26:25 to 26:27 I just realized that it was Leonidas roaring sadly to Riku😭😭😭😭😭
Ever wondered what attribute Leo would have been if he were in the anime? I'd say haos (cos of his character and ability cards) or Darkus cos if hydranoid were still evil, Leonidas could b the Darkus member of the team. Plus I used Darkus in my first ever playthough of the video game to avoid any overlap with the brawlers
@@MemesToa the Subterra one was especially difficult because it was hard to get a good launch with the terrain if you didn't have a Subterran Bakugan. I tried the story with almost every attribute and could never beat that Battle royale
The worst part of this game is the players customization choices are severely limited. The idea of Bakugan from the Doom Dimension is a neat idea but doesn’t go very far. I’m surprised the anime didn’t think about having Bakugan born specifically from the Doom Dimension. Other problems include Bakugan that are not in the game (Rattleoid, El Condor, Bee Striker, Wormquake, Mañion, Tuskor and Ravenoid).
When you're kid some battles on the tournaments and the final battle looks impossible to win, I played this game in my emulator the last week and ended in less than 12 hours, the last battle is easy and no needs to cheat with the cheap trick of G's change. But the most memorable thing of the game (alongside the fact is the only game that feels like the game in that era) is the relationship you create with Leonidas, you can feel his anger and hatred to everything, but you can see how he, after winning all the battles you face with him, calms his fury and starts to see you as his partner, this can be seen when he refuses everytime the offers of Vladitor and Mascarade, and more when your character says the fact that he trust Leonidas and he is surprised, so he started to respect you, and later when Drago says the same to him, he started to calm all the anger of the Bakugans who formed him, and started to feel respect to the others. The ending, when Vladitor says goodbye to Marduk is sad, but when your partner says goodbye to you... Damn, it hits different, personal and personally I have to hold my tears, the OST was so emotional and how the character acted mature against the immature attitude of Marduk, make you feel the same. Luckily Leonidas comes back to you, and you can see how a Darkus sphere goes away, maybe Vladitor started to think how the battles are funny, and he goes back to Marduk, for another round with his rival Leonidas. The next game for me is another universe, the character isn't a well known guy to Dan, Marucho or Shun, and he hated Bakugan, and the most important fact, Leonidas doesn't born, like in the series and the gameplay isn't lineal with the other game.

Xylox First form=Very powerful
Evolved form=Overpowered
Don’t forget about vladiator
Yeah your so right
OH SHIT HE DID
Well he was comprised of all the negative emotions of God knows how many Bakugan were sent to the Doom dimension.
It makes some sense that he was this overpowered in his first form alone
The Otaku Dragon Slayer and if you consider the nonets and their mechtogon from the 2nd arc of the 4th season which very few people like it makes sense that Leonidas is op also is it me or does the new core dragonoid from the new line looks like Leonidas’s ball form
Damn... the main character seems so mature when he loses Leonidas. He evens snaps at Mardock and goes full father figure on him.
A partnership is always a two way street. Just like how the player changed Leonidas into a more mellow Bakugan, Leonidas helped the player mature and toughen up. They both grew and learned because of each other. Really interesting dynamic.
@Lacey Williams
Well uh... sorry to say, but Bakugan seemed to be marketed towards boys, so the studio that made the game didn't see the need to make a female counterpart. Of course, you could probably mod the game to feature a girl model and voice.
Lacey Williams lucky your dream came true in the next game.

Naga being leonidas father/creator that gives me an idea.
@Zaldin Drago: So Leonidas is my son? I find with that
NAGA: SO YOU CHALLENGE ME ONCE AGAIN?!?
It does sadden me Leonidas, Vladator, Drago, and Naga are the only talking bakugan in the game.

It matches with the story

That purple glowing ball at 28:54 is vladitor...that's why marduk still has vladitor
Fun fact: the voice of dan voices leonidas and the voice of spectra voices Marduk
The voice of masquerade voices eric
It my honest opinion Marduk comes off more intimidating than Masquerade and Spector

I wish leonidas was in the bakugan series hes so awesome i like him more then drago
And also Vladitor must be in the series

In the show, the only Bakugan they use are those that are made as toys

I don't know what is about this game's graphics, but they hold up surprisingly well 13 years later
I think it's because it looks allot like the show rather than reality
Let’s be honest, this game looked fuckin gorgeous
These are better than Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon cutscenes.
But but... The protagonist smiles the whole game.
Just Monika to be fair those games were handheld
Darkus Omega Leonidas, Dual Hydranoid, and Battle ax Vladitor. Best deck no doubt.

They're the same cut scenes but with minor changes and dialogue

Also DS cut a lot of stuff from the games
This is my childhood. While not the first game, Bakugan was no doubt one of the first anime’s I ever watched. And I played far too much of this game. I don't regret that at all.
I was always a Pyrus Brawler. I could never be anything else. Subterra, Ventus, Aquos, Haos, even Darkus. Darkus was probably the closest attribute I had to a second option, but I was always Pyrus.

I prefer Leonidas as a Pyrus Bakugan. He looks more badass and he deserved to be in the original series as Vladitor.
I'd say Leo was better as Darkus cos he causes no overlap with the brawlers.

And also vladitor still being in marduk’s team during matches after story mode. Well the devs needed a strong darkus monster for Marduk
He gets him back at the same time you get yours if you look there's a purple glowing ball rolling off the screen
I think Marduk eventually gets a Reaper as his new guardian Bakugan since Vladitor is gone, I think it makes sense
Not sure if I prefered the text-based speech and dramatically watered down cutscenes of the DS or the half-hearted voice acting and fully animated high quality cutscenes of every other console.

But if you were 8 at the time you would not care
Kinda wish they would remaster this game and release it on pc and modern consoles
Can’t really do it anymore when they rebooted the show and have a different style then the original
@@the_real_idoit8166 Pretty sure they can still bring back the old game for a remaster.
Just gotta talk with the companies and such to let it happen.
Give something to appeal to the fans of the OG series.
With the entire selection of Bakugan this time and more cards.
Leonidas, Vladitor, Marduk and the custom character should be added for the anime.
regardless of the past, you've proven you are on our side. That is reason enough to trust you. good old Drago
In my the only one that thinks that the wii's graphics were better than the PS2 PS3 and Xbox 360?
+ANIMAINIAC no I agree, they were better.....
Xbox 360 > PS3 > Wii > PS2
Infinity Percival where does the Nintendo ds9 fit in
It doesn’t have any cutscenes
@@Solohunter6 it has 1 in Leonidas awakening.
The main characters ask parter with a living plastic toy ball that appered from thin air
SEEMS LEGIT
I played all elements of leonidas in the games but my favorite one is darkus its so cool
I think Pyrus is the coolest but darkus makes the most sense since he was created in the doom dimension
For me I think Haos is coolest idk why it's the element of Leonidas I chose
Mine was originally supposed to be pyrus but I accidentally clicked on subterra instead but it’s grown on me. Besides I always affiliated darkus as an evil element when i was younger.
@@ScorchyTS To be fair, that seems to be the “canon” element according to the art on his character cards. At least, that’s the case for the DS version, idk if the art changes in the console versions.
The scene with Leonidas transformation is for me one the badass power up scene i've ever seen, plus the end with the music clearly make you feel pity for Vladitor at the end. Truly a masterpiece
I’ve only played the DS version of this game, so I had no clue the console versions were more definitive in the cutscenes as they’re fully voiced, and even have music tracks from the actual TV show, but it’s nice to know about this now.
Same here!
I lowkey cried as a kid because of the ending
I think that moment at 1:11 is a lot better than the one in the DS version, because this one, you can't see him, though in the DS version you can clearly see him, so this version made me a lot more excited to see what he looked like.
I feel like Leo being clearly visible in the DS version adds to the mystery in its own way, since the design is so vastly different from any other Bakugan, and you only see it for a split-second. It gives the player that sense of “Wait, what am I looking at? Is that a Bakugan? Oh he’s gone now. What just happened?”
At least, that’s my take on it, having been heavily invested in the show prior to picking up the game.
When I Just Found Out the Player Voice Acter Sound Like The New Dan In Bakugan Battle Planet!
To bad that the show ended I used to watch it every Saturdays at 8 am
New season?
+Erica Cheow There was Bakutech, but it wasn't nearly as good.
Hunter Richard there bring it back in 2018
I remember this game being fun as hell. Only thing is, your choice of attribute can REALLY make a difference at certain points in the game iirc, and I remember picking Haos...yeah, let's just say I more or less picked hard mode for the final boss.
Luckily, you can buy other Bakugan to change up your strategy.
i will always remember this game fondly i had such a blast playing it. It really sucks this was the only Bakugan video they made the story mode actually wasn't that bad and the Arena's were SOOO COOL!
Ahhh memories.... I wish they made a game like this again... Just improve some stuff... Bt bakugan was awesome... Well atleast the first season
Damn, I literally grew a friendship with Leonidas even though he is a fictional character.
I really like Leonidas, he is powerful but without the help of the player, he could not defeat all of his enemies. Especially that last battle, phew, really talking about how the player and Leo bonds that made them beat Marduk and Vladator.
3:20 Here is the moment that began it all. Hype for Leonidas!
My leonidas, why i cant have you in real life
I had a ventus one. But i dont know if it was him. If it wasnt a leonidas i sure looked super identical
It’s because the game studio owns the rights not the toy producer
I'll say one thing.
Don't
What if Leonidas will attack humans?
Sans GD he won’t
Such profiling
But this will always be better than Defenders of the Core in my opinion
SwesomegamerX definitely they just said fuck it to that game
Ochoa great wall of Mexico Core was fun because I was itching for more Shadow Prove post Vestroia ending
Bruh I'd love this because it was a like a real episode of bakugan Especially since it had the real fast members of the show plus the guy who played the main character did an awesome job
6:09
Woah Runo you got some nerve talk like that because you lost.
Only ever gotten to play this awesome game on the DS, and I’ve always chosen Aquos so it made me sooo excited to see these with Aquos Leonidas since most people only ever seem to choose Darkus, Haos or Pyrus in their videos, so this was such a treat for me! 🥰🙏🏻 Love the video! This makes me excited to try the game on one of the other platforms! Thanks for showing off this amazing game!
This game looks more high quality then the one that’s releasing this year
6:10 that is very selfish of Runo . Player : You can’t make me My choice in what Bakugan I use not you Runo, You don’t control Me.
Leonidas……my friend, my partner…….how i miss him
Whoever voiced Runo must also voiced Louise in Max and Ruby. Cause that’s what I think when I heard her voice.
Julie Lemieux and yep she was both of them
I remember cranking leonidas stats to the max so I could just hop on enemy gate cards and win the mini games without ability card before hand
I love how the protagonist sticks up for Leonidas
It's a nice detail and honestly makes sense in story
One thing i love about this game is either in every console,their gameplay and story are the same heck even some of brawl animation look the same. Basically when it comes multiple console (back in the day) they always have a different story, gameplay.
Back when I had this game (like, 8 years ago), I had a bit of a crush on Marduk....
+Cryatora Prime :3
alice and runo
Phoenix Prime ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) this was u everytime u see hem ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Phoenix Prime I had a crush on Alice
My friend had a crush on Hatsun...runo
The one thing I didn’t like about this game is that the only Bakugan with voice lines were Leo, Drago and Vladitor.
I think canonically Darkus Leonidas is the most fitting to pick
Why? Because the brawlers have every attribute besides Darkus
A true classic and a legend
If they made sequels of the games; here is what I think they could do.
Season 2 could show the Player and Leo arriving on New Vestroia and decides to help the brawlers, even freeing a Mechanical Bakugan with the brainwaves of a living Bakugan implanted within. Could show them fighting the Vexos to free the Bakugan and stop a new threat.
Season 3 could show Leonidas and the player being brought to Nethia after encountering Fabia in Interspace. They agree to help but learn Leo is not known within Code Eve's database due to his origins in the Doom Dimension. They would then search for answers about his origins and fight Gundalia to receive the answers; even agreeing to take on the evolved Titanium Dragonoid to earn the truth.
*Edit*
Season 4: (Pt 1) could show the Player receiving Marucho's distress message and making his way to Balugan Interspace with aid from Spectra. There, the player finds he's Leonidas acting strange and eventually witnessing the birth of their Mechtogan. Leonidas and the player must fight friend and foe alike to figure out what's going on and stop the evil force known as Magmel.
Season 4 (Pt2) could show the Player and Leo spending time in Bakugan City when encountering Wiseman and the Nonets by mistake. From there, Leo must aid the Brawlers in stopping the attacks from the new enemies as well as a strange spirit that has been haunting Leonidas since his first encounter with the mutant Mechtogan.
Unfortunately that's not what we get but this could be a good fanfic plot to read
I feel like Leonidas how he takes his anger out towards others like I do but I feel like this is more touching than the Nintendo version but this game is always golden
English Sub:
5:26
"hi Leonidas nice to meet you I'm DEAD"
Yes, you are.
It would be awesome if Leonidas was cannon to the actual series instead of just the game. Honestly I like old Bakugan series than the 2023 series. I do go back to watching the old Bakugan series once in awhile, the only Bakugan thats missing is Leonidas even tho he isnt cannon to the series
14:12 thought this was kinda funny, this scene is designed so that only Masquerade and Leonidas talk while the MC says nothing, bc Masquerade and the MC share the same voice actor 😂
Never knew that. That's hilarious
14:26 this was huge bern by leo.
It would have been even greater if there was the ultimate dragonoid and alpha hydranoid
In the series, battle brawlers are positive, except Shun. But in the video game, they different. Julie acting like a badass.
like a b*tch you want to say XD
Dunno why, but this game looks better than anybody would expect.
I love Leonidas. But I am a haos user.
lucky 4 u bro, he's actually a haos bakugan look at his gate card and ability card tho he can be any attribute but that's his original or natural attribute.
Everyone wants a toy Leonidas. Meanwhile me looking for Vladiator.
I also made Leonidas a Darkus type so I could be the missing type in the brawlers since it did always bug me in the original series they didn’t have Darkus for most of the first season and they always made the type the villain in every season
Same. Lmao
10:08 - 10:11
Vegeta: It's Over 9000!!!!!!
When I was a kid I was like chill marocho didn't know this was dragon ball
Still own this game for PS3,don't play that much but just watching this now I wanna play this game all over again,I remember how fun this game was
Leonidas is one of my favorite Bakugans!
holy fuck i always thought this game was a dream i rememeber playing this as a kid holy .... im surprised i can remember most of it
LEONIDAS HAS RETURN! ! !
@hattanalshutaifi4587and that didn’t happen
Fun fact the Player's name is none other than Riku
So basically Leonidas' is grounded and stable thanks to Riku
26:25 to 26:27 I just realized that it was Leonidas roaring sadly to Riku😭😭😭😭😭
Ever wondered what attribute Leo would have been if he were in the anime? I'd say haos (cos of his character and ability cards) or Darkus cos if hydranoid were still evil, Leonidas could b the Darkus member of the team. Plus I used Darkus in my first ever playthough of the video game to avoid any overlap with the brawlers
This is Aquos right? I beat Aquos level 10 times already. Also I played the other attributes and pick Pryus as the strongest
To think Leonidas and Dan share the same voice actor...
Yet again, Lync and Helios share the same voice actor.
I never made it past that Subterra tournament when I bought the game as a kid.
Yeah, battle royales in this game are horrific. Easily the hardest part of the game regardless of element.
@@MemesToa the Subterra one was especially difficult because it was hard to get a good launch with the terrain if you didn't have a Subterran Bakugan. I tried the story with almost every attribute and could never beat that Battle royale
this game is cool and this is no easy
Anyone else want a remake or remaster of this game for modern consoles like the switch and ps4/ps5
Yeh and make it online too
@@thatrandombungeegumdude7683 okay i can see them doing that so more people can play together
I wish Leonidas was a real Bakugan. And if he was in the show, he could've been a big help to the Brawlers.
The way how Julie comes at you the first time did not make me like her for a little bit
The worst part of this game is the players customization choices are severely limited. The idea of Bakugan from the Doom Dimension is a neat idea but doesn’t go very far. I’m surprised the anime didn’t think about having Bakugan born specifically from the Doom Dimension. Other problems include Bakugan that are not in the game (Rattleoid, El Condor, Bee Striker, Wormquake, Mañion, Tuskor and Ravenoid).
I’m fairly sure there is a way to get Manion and Ravenoid in the game, somehow. But yeah, where’s my man El Condor at?
Ravenoid and Manion are available, but only in the Special Collector Editions.
Yeah! And where's my boi Alpha Hydranoid
Mantris isn't in there either
This games story did not need to go this hard and I do wish we saw more of Leo, Marduk and Vladitor. 🥶🔥🗿
One of those good games based on shows.
A real trip down memory lane. Such an amazing story in a great game, I'll definitely play it again someday.
When you're kid some battles on the tournaments and the final battle looks impossible to win, I played this game in my emulator the last week and ended in less than 12 hours, the last battle is easy and no needs to cheat with the cheap trick of G's change. But the most memorable thing of the game (alongside the fact is the only game that feels like the game in that era) is the relationship you create with Leonidas, you can feel his anger and hatred to everything, but you can see how he, after winning all the battles you face with him, calms his fury and starts to see you as his partner, this can be seen when he refuses everytime the offers of Vladitor and Mascarade, and more when your character says the fact that he trust Leonidas and he is surprised, so he started to respect you, and later when Drago says the same to him, he started to calm all the anger of the Bakugans who formed him, and started to feel respect to the others.
The ending, when Vladitor says goodbye to Marduk is sad, but when your partner says goodbye to you... Damn, it hits different, personal and personally I have to hold my tears, the OST was so emotional and how the character acted mature against the immature attitude of Marduk, make you feel the same.
Luckily Leonidas comes back to you, and you can see how a Darkus sphere goes away, maybe Vladitor started to think how the battles are funny, and he goes back to Marduk, for another round with his rival Leonidas.
The next game for me is another universe, the character isn't a well known guy to Dan, Marucho or Shun, and he hated Bakugan, and the most important fact, Leonidas doesn't born, like in the series and the gameplay isn't lineal with the other game.
nothing like a little nostalgia before bed. :)
