One day when cards came falling out of the sky Dan and his friends invented a
cool new game, Bakugan. Little did they
know they had incredible powers and they now must save both human and Bakugan
world, with the Infinity Core found, the source of life for Vestoria. The Bakugan Battle Brawlers take the next step
in stopping Masquerade and saving their worlds, they must evolve their Bakugan
to the next level and form the Ultimate Bakugan.
Based on a strategic game, Bakugan involves a game using spherical figures with
various characters/creatures/stats that are powered and supported by different
gate, field and ability cards. Gate
cards set conditions which boost or take away condition to characters on the
field, Field cards set the terrain on which the character is played giving
advantages base on character element attributes, Ability cards are personal
cards giving special talents/abilities to each character. In this chapter of Bakugan, the players evolve
to the next level and gain new powerful characters with new
abilities, and finally they unmask Masquerade and learn the truth of the
Bakugan world!
