The core members of the Resistance

The Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance (Japanese version Bakugan Defenders (爆丸ディフェンダー, Bakugan Difendā?)) is a group introduced in Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia. It was established by Mira Fermin to free the Bakugan and New Vestroia from the Vestals who are forcefully inhabiting it. Their enemies are the Vexos, whom they frequently encounter.

Information

The Resistance was formed by Mira Fermin after she saw Alpha Hydranoid speak after being tortured by her father Clay Fermin and her brother, Spectra Phantom. From that she learned that the Bakugan were actually living things and not toys as the Vestals had previously thought. After recruiting Baron and Ace over an unknown period of time, Dan and Marucho arrived in New Vestroia and Mira was able to add them to the Resistance's ranks.

After that, the Resistance found a clear goal, to destroy the Dimension Controllers that were restricting the Bakugan in to their ball forms. Over the course of this goal Shun eventually joined as well. After this goal was completed, the resistance split up, with Shun, Marucho, and Dan left to go back to Earth while Mira, Baron, and Ace stayed on New Vestroia just in case the Vexos came back to try anything.

The members stationed on New Vestroia later went to Vestal and went on TV to expose the Vexos and royal family and luckily, the vestal people believed them and the royal family fled and there was peace on Vestal and New Vestroia.

However, this peace did not last long, as the Vexos re-emerged with the Bakugan Termination System which required six Attribute Energies to power up, which the previous holders, the Six Legendary Soldiers of Vestroia, entrusted in the bodies of the Resistance's Partner Bakugan. In spite of the Resistance's best efforts, the Vexos eventually acquired all the Attribute Energies. With Spectra and Helios' assistance, however, Drago barely manages to stop the BT System.

Enraged by his plans' constant failures, Zenoheld decides to create the Alternative Weapon System to destroy both Vestal and Earth. However, the Vexos itself ended up fracturing in the process, slowly losing its members to internal conflict until Zenoheld had no allies remaining. With the final sacrifices of Professor Clay and Hydron, the Resistance was able to put a stop to Zenoheld and the Alternative.

However, nobody knew he was there until later in the series when he was first seen saving Marucho from losing to Mylene. He later joined the Resistance after that incident. He brawled against Lync in New Vestroia in episode 30 for the Ventus energy, but due to Master Ingram accepting his powers, they were victorious. He later brawls against Volt in a tag battle with Baron, but with their combined powers, he and Baron won.
