Boriates appears physically in ''[[Brontes' Betrayal]]'', fittingly under the usage of Volt for the first time on-screen. Its battle was with [[Gus Grav]], using a newly evolved [[Alto Brontes]], who had been seemingly brainwashed by a [[Forbidden Ability Cards|Forbidden Ability Card]]. Boriates was forced to hold back for the majority of the brawl, which meant it could not display most of its brute force and instead resorted to most of its lesser abilities. As a result, it suffered a crippling defeat in both rounds without attaining any victories (barring its successful "win" against [[Hexados]]).

In ''[[Samurai Showdown]]'', Boriates faces [[Master Ingram|Ingram]] and, later in a second round, [[Saint Nemus|Nemus]]. Despite being severely outnumbered (Boriates only had [[Dynamo]] and later [[Hexstar]] as supports; Nemus and Ingram had their [[Hylash|respective]] [[Piercian|Bakugan Traps]] as well as [[Shadow Wing]]) Boriates held its own in a close first round and won with less than a 100 G advantage over Ingram and Hylash. After an attempt to use the same strategy again, Baron and Nemus join the battle and turn the odds back into their favor, successfully pulling out a victory in the second round. The final round sees the debut of [[Hexstar]], whom Boriates rides in a final clash with Ingram and Nemus. This results in their defeat and failure to acquire the Ventus Attribute Energy.
; Ability Cards
* '''Odin Shield''': Nullifies all of the opponent's abilities and prevents them from activating any more abilities.
* '''Prometheus Cannon''': Transfers 300 [[G -Power|Gs]] from the opponent to Boriates.
* '''Tempest Arrow''': Transfers 300 Gs from the opponent to Boriates.
* '''Firebolt Axe''': Transfers 300 Gs from the opponent to Boriates.
* A select few of the abilities Boriates has used refer to Greek Mythology ('''Prometheus Cannon''' and '''Olympus Cannon''') as well as Norse Mythology ('''Odin Shield''').
* The [[Gauntlet]]'s scans of Boriates and Dryoid are in nearly identical poses.
* Boriate Boriates is the only Mechanical Bakugan that fought Dryoid, and wasn't destroyed by the latter, as it actually won due to the Custom Battle Ability.* Boriates is the only Bakugan to have an Ability activated by a method other than Ability Card or willful activation by the Bakugan itself: the Custom Battle Ability is activated through the [[Gauntlet]] of the user.** It's also the only Ability to alter the base power level of a Bakugan, implying it's a form of limiter release that allows Boriates to tap into more power than normal.
