Ah, core memory unearthed, that was quite the test back then.
Edit: Why did I spell test instead of twist?
Rex_Lapis_2026-01-04 13:58
I mean we saw one of his eyes and its redish
Glass-Performer83892026-01-04 15:23
Nah, He was actually using contacts, and his hair isn't actually even blue, It's BROWN, Hair dye just takes longer to remove (Joke)
ItWasAlice2026-01-04 16:15
Fun fact, there were times when Alice’s eyes turned redish under the mask as well. Her eyes turn red when she’s observing the technical info about the Bakugans in the brawling field
RegretfulChoice2026-01-04 14:08
Boss when you fight him vs the same boss when he joins your party
ItWasAlice2026-01-04 16:17
Alice could absolutely throw down tho, she left Hades in shambles
TheLuiz2122026-01-04 16:25
Yeah, Alice legit had one moment of doubt, overcame it and wrecked shit up
Crimson_Raven2026-01-04 20:31
She then terrorized *the shit* out of one of the next season villains when he threatened her friends and then basically turned him good with kindness.
Alice was cool and badass
Xaldror2026-01-04 18:53
And she still kept Hydra in future seasons, iirc
GigaEel2026-01-04 21:34
Not sure if anyone here ever played Tales of Symphonies but that game was bad for it. There are THREE party members you fight before recruiting and ALL three are much stronger as bosses than party members. Some even use moves as bosses that they don't have access to as party members. The power scaling in that game makes no sense lmaoo
(Sheena, Regal, Kratos/Zelos)
mrwanton2026-01-04 22:02
Given the unique situation involved with that last one I get it
Nateash642026-01-04 14:27
Was not expecting a Bakugan reference on this side?
Khelthuzaad2026-01-04 15:04
Was not expecting to reveal Maquarade's true identity even so lmao.
The reveal fried the brain out of me as a kid.
The writers REALLY went hard to keep the secret.
The only hint was that her grandpa went missing and later was revealed he was exposed to some evil energy and became an antagonist.
No palpable evidence was towards this ESPECIALLY because of the wardrobe and voice definitely hinted it was a boy not a girl.
In still remember how they absolutely pushed the secret to the end.Before the reveal his clothes were absolutely tore up and he wore a chestplate armor.Since it was revealed it was gonna be Alice under the mask,that chestplate made a lot more sense :)
Shad_tard2026-01-04 16:40
Tbf it becomes extremely obvious as it gets closer to the final brawl between Dan and Masq, but I doubt most people would pick up on it without some kind of hint at least.
Salter_KingofBorgors2026-01-04 17:38
Only real evidence i remember is that in the one showdown she did she used Darkus bakugans.
Nateash642026-01-05 01:52
Yes. That was the battle between her and Masquerade
ZeRandomPerson22222026-01-05 02:55
> The reveal fried the brain out of me as a kid.
I mean it fried everyone who watched it. It was a crazy reveal and the fact it still gets mentioned today kind of says how iconic and memorable a moment it is.
…now I want to rewatch bakugan.
Khelthuzaad2026-01-05 08:56
The show was great.
If you want us to buy your toys,you need to give us a good story.A story so great it will stick with us decades after its over.The new bakugan series was a complete mess storywise.
Now social media is selling us labubus and other junk solely on speculation,scarcity,fomo and trends.Japan is doing an way better job promoting their shit with animation alone :))
FlameDragoon9332026-01-05 10:11
The West was no slouch either. Some literally unsold toyline in Japan got picked up by the West and it became the loved franchise called Transformers.
Khelthuzaad2026-01-05 10:20
Hasbro was actually the ones that created the animated-advertisement trope.
They would create the cartoon,then they would sneak commercials related to the show in the commercial break in the middle.
Similar approach is in youtube videos now.

guylovesleep2026-01-04 14:41
that would funny
also dam didnt think i would see a bakugan reference in this sub
Outside-Cookie43092026-01-04 14:57
You are True One who Lived their Life if You know Bakugam
Xaldror2026-01-04 18:55
Only the first season, couldn't keep up with second and on since, as a kid, release schedules were confusing, but it was fun enough for me to pick up the DS game.
Outside-Cookie43092026-01-04 20:37
U can see it online on yt and internet archives they were decent but sure after few seasons they got complicated amd lost
kaori_cicak9902026-01-04 15:05
Man the reveal hits hard
Its like imagine orihime its your first big villain
JaneDoe5002026-01-04 17:12
I mean Bleach's own villian reveal went pretty hard already.
GigaEel2026-01-04 21:35
Ash Ketchum rocks up to the Elite 4 champions room. Slowly opens the door and the first words he hears:
"hi, honey" as his mom approaches him as elite 4 champion
SkyTheLoner2026-01-04 15:05
Neat, Bakugan mention in the wild.
Katri9012026-01-04 15:13
One of my favourite childhood shows, the designers managed to hit gold with both designs
h2odragon002026-01-04 15:13
If they make Dottore playable, I hope they R63 him so I can see the community implode.
blank55022026-01-04 15:21
Yes yes pls
mrwanton2026-01-04 22:03
Dottore fans would be so pissed and can't blame them. That'd hurt
starmadeshadows2026-01-05 08:39
Only if she stays exactly the same. Same voice actor, same model, only thing that changes is the pronouns.
h2odragon002026-01-05 09:12
Does Dottore's VA have a wide range though?
starmadeshadows2026-01-05 10:03
Why would her delivery need to change?
h2odragon002026-01-05 10:56
Coz I don't know much about Dottore's VA.
I don't know what their past roles were so I can't gauge their skills as a VA.
starmadeshadows2026-01-05 10:59
Oh no he is def voiced by a dude. I'm saying he should voice fem!Dottore anyway, that'd be lit.
EntertainmentIll15672026-01-04 15:21
Sometimes it takes a real woman to be best boi
Nero_PR2026-01-04 15:31
Holy hell. A Bakugan reference!
Orangelemonyyyy2026-01-04 15:55
Oh may gah, a Bakugan reference in my Genshin??? Dang this takes me way back to 6th grade. I used to fangirl over Alice so much and shipped her with Shun LMAO.
11th_Division_Grows2026-01-04 16:15
Shows like this is what led me to my anime addiction. I love it.
OwnRepresentative9162026-01-07 15:05
All these years later and Alice/Shun is still the best
megalo-maniac5382026-01-04 16:09

BAKUGAN!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
LostAngels_42026-01-04 16:34
I remember this reveal way back in third grade. Much more innocent times
Motor-Preference74352026-01-04 17:13
No please no😭
Ammu_222026-01-04 17:19

GameBawesome12026-01-04 17:30
You just unlocked a childhood memory of mine
IamNotpolice_2026-01-04 17:35
No please no. His eyes should be long, sadistic and he should have a mischievous smile on his face
the-UrbanStyx2026-01-04 17:55
BAKUGAN MENTION IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2026?????????????????
wyverbuster2026-01-04 19:12
Bakugan reference in 2026, Alice/Masquerade you will always be famous
joseash272026-01-04 19:38
I mean that is one sure way to make dottore playable
Bane_of_Ruby2026-01-04 19:52
Bro is that a Bakugan reference?
In 2026?
Barbetra2026-01-04 20:20
Omg Bakugan mentioned!!!!!
Rosei-Pop2026-01-04 20:48
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
THE ODDS STACKED AGAINST YOU,
BACK AGAINST THE THE WALL, YOU GOTTA GIVE IT YOUR ALL!
RagnarokAeon2026-01-04 22:27
lol.
Though, those who played the event with Layla last month already know what his unmasked face looks like.
ANaanyy2026-01-04 23:11
arent his eyes red
nolxve_exe2026-01-04 23:20
I’m crying😭
A_Noelle_Main2026-01-04 23:29
Bakugan reference in 2026? 1st season at that lmao. How is your knee? Already disintegrated?
FlinsFantasticFanny2026-01-05 01:19
Jesus this is cursed
myka_v2026-01-05 01:48
Sandrone: Dottore you son of A(lice)! 🤯
Koanos2026-01-05 02:42
I do wonder why Bakugan kind of crashed and burned over time.
ZeRandomPerson22222026-01-05 02:54
This just makes me realize how cool Masquerade still is.
(Seriously you had to be there to experience the moment when Masquerade was unmasked for the first time. That was crazy back then).
thatoneguy1472942026-01-05 03:50
Bakugan mentioned 🔥🔥🔥🔥✍️ ✍️✍️
UmbralUroboros2026-01-05 06:47
Meanwhile I was thinking he looked like Relius Clover. Blazblue.
Dragonkingcc2026-01-05 07:25
