BakuTech! Bakugan (爆TECH! 爆丸, Bakūtekku! Bakugan?) is a Japanese action adventure anime television series and a spin-off of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers series. It is based on the manga series BakuTech! Bakugan.

After Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders aired in Japan, a decision was made not to air Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge, which had been poorly received in the west. Instead, the BakuTech! anime was aired, each episode running 6 minutes long. It was followed by a sequel titled BakuTech! Bakugan Gachi.

Plot[edit]

The TV anime adaptation of the BakuTech! manga series follows the daily lives of Harubaru Hinode, Raichi Kuronashi, and Tatsuma as students of Master Shimo's Bakugan Dojo. Each six-minute episode features different BakuTech play styles and fast-paced brawling action.
