Got to Episode 59 of Jordan’s Mianite series and found this moment to be absolutely hilarious.
how long have you been in the bakugan community?
since it was released in America back in like 2007-2010. i never saw the full thing since it stopped being promoted after season two, like no trailers or nothing. but that was also when i started watching beyblade and yu-gi-oh, digimon, etc. so i wasn't really paying attention to bakugan anymore. but it was definitely the reason i love animes where the play some sort of game.
Favorite MFB Friendships: Yu Tendo & Tsubasa Otori
“Your name’s Yu, isn’t it?” “Huh? You know about me? That’s so cool!” “Yeah, yeah I do. You’re the little boy who won the Survival Battle, and got the WBBA to agree to hold the Battle Bladers tournament. Isn’t that right?” “What? Little boy?!” “Though I hear your beyskills are, well, pretty good.” “Pretty good?! Who are you calling pretty good?!”
Bonus:
ALL right your perky! why is masquerade your boy(did I make Christmas come early)?
(Yes, you did!)
I don’t really know why I like Masquerade so much. There’s not much we learn about him in the show aside from the fact that he’s a genius at Bakugan strategy, wants to take over the world, is cyclical, and is the alter ego of Alice. But for some reason I really really liked him. Both him and Alice don’t get that much screen time after Season 1–and a lacking amount in Season 2– but they were definitely more interesting than the others. Like how does the sweetest girl in the world end up with such a twisted personality? Why is Masquerade fully human while Hal-G is a monster? Why does it seem like Alice and Masquerade are on two opposite spectrums of the gender binary, and why does that create such different persons? Why couldn’t they be separated? How come Masquerade never came to the conclusion that he was Naga’s chess piece, and he’d be thrown out like trash after the worlds combined?
It was a very confusing thing. And despite barely being seven years old when I first met Masquerade, his character stuck with me for years. I had so many unanswered questions. But after a while, I realized that he’s just a normal kid. Sure, he was born of evil. But if you were told your whole life who you’ll become, would you do anything to try and stop it?
So yeah, I just felt like Masquerade deserved more. He deserved having a friend. And Alice could have been that one friend. But I guess we’ll never know
the masquerade and dan moments are getting more intense the more i write. i love it here!

Bakugan fans, I delivered on my promise. I wrote the story where Alice and Masquerade are separate people after BBB and now they're living their lives as "adopted" siblings. This is just the first chapter of at least twenty.
