'''Masquerade Ball''' is the second episode of ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]''. It aired on April 11th, 2007 in Japan and September 4th, 2007 in North America.
==Plot==
A very gifted and infamous [[Bakugan]] player, known as [[Masquerade]], has been taking Bakugan from kids all over the world, including [[Runo]] (who blames [[Dan]] for her loss) using only his [[Reaper]] . When Dan hears about this from his friends on the web, he decides to put a stop to it and challenges Masquerade to a battle. The two meet up and the fight is on! But Masquerade has a secret called the [[Doom Card]], which sends its opponent's Bakugan to the [[Doom Dimension]]. Masquerade leaves Dan behind after the brawl is over. In doing so, Dan understands the realization that his [[Dragonoid]] and his other Bakugan could have been sent to the Doom Dimension.
==Major events==
*A masked brawler named Masquerade shows up and begins defeating kids' Bakugan and sending them to the Doom Dimension after rising to the #1 ranking in the world.
*Dan battles Shuji again and wins.
*Dan battles Masquerade for the first time and loses.
*Masquerade sends two of Dan's Bakugan to the Doom Dimension, but chooses to spare Drago.
==Featured Brawls==
===Battle at the Playground===
*'''Runo''' VS '''Masquerade'''
[* This entire brawl happens off-screen. The only things we know for sure about it are that:
*Masquerade wins, and Runo loses.
*Masquerade used his [[Darkus]] [[Reaper]] in the brawl.
*Runo loses a [[Haos]] [[Terrorclaw]] to the [[Doom Dimension]] in this brawl.
*Later in episode 5, when Runo mentions the Bakugan she lost, a Haos Falconeer and Robotallion are seen along with Terrorclaw and Juggernoid, implying she lost them in this brawl too.
===Battle Under Railroad Bridge===
*'''Dan''' VS '''Shuji'''
[* Most of this brawl also happens off-screen. We know that Dan defeats a [[Ventus]] [[Robotallion]] and [[Ventus]] [[Gargonoid]] of Shuji's. And that Shuji defeats at least one of Dan's [[Bakugan]] this brawl. *]
====Round 4 (# non-canon)====
*'''Dan's Victories:''' 2/3 ~ '''Dan's HSP:''' 600
*'''Shuji's Victories:''' 1/3 ~ '''Shuji's HSP:''' 200
[* On the battlefield is Dan's [[Pyrus]] [[Serpenoid]] (320 [[Gs]]) and 2 [[Gate Cards]] whose owner(s) are unknown at the time. *]
<u>'''Dan throws out [[Drago]] onto an empty Gate Card. (Power: 340 Gs)'''</u>
Dan activates '''Fire Wall'''.
<u>'''Shuji throws out Ventus [[Falconeer]] against Pyrus Serpenoid. (Power: 300 Gs)'''</u>
Shuji activates '''Jump Over''' to move over to Drago's card and then activates '''Correlation between Ventus and Pyrus'''. (Falconeer: 400 Gs)
Mysteriously, Drago gains the upper-hand possibly due to '''Fire Wall'''. But even with its effect active, Drago would still be 10 Gs short of victory. Drago would have needed to boost the power of '''Fire Wall''' in some way for this victory, but it is unrevealed how this is done. Nevertheless, Falconeer gets wiped out by Drago's squeezing fire wall attack.
Dan's Victories: 3/3 ~ Dan's HSP gained: ?
Dan wins this round.
====Conclusion====
*'''Dan's Victories:''' 3/3 ~ '''Dan's HSP:''' ? (at least 600)

'''Winner is Dan Kuso.'''

Masquerade counters by activating '''Dimension 4''', which cancels the opponent's Gate Card. (Reaper: 370 Gs - Serpenoid: 320 Gs). Serpenoid gets wiped out by Reaper's scythe attack and is sent to the [[Doom Dimension]]. Reaper returns to Masquerade in ball form. Dan's first Gate Card vanishes.

Masquerade wins this round.

<u>'''Dan throws out [[Pyrus]] [[Saurus]] onto his newly set Gate Card. (Power: 280 Gs)'''</u>
<u>'''Masquerade throws out Darkus Reaper against Saurus. (Power: 370 Gs)'''</u>
Dan activates '''Saurus Glow''' on Saurus, increasing his Power Level by 50 Gs. (Reaper: 370 Gs - Saurus: 330 Gs)

Drago activates '''Ultimate Boost''' on himself. (Drago: 950+ Gs - Reaper: 370 Gs). Before Reaper can get wiped out, the battle field is destroyed by Drago's immense power boost.
