==Information==
Dan Kouzo is a member of the [[Awesome Ones]], a group of kids living in [[Los Volmos]] who make videos for the video site ViewTube. The other members include [[Wynton Styles]], [[Lia Venegas]], and [[Lightning]] the dog. Twelve years after the [[Great Collision]], the Awesome Ones sneak into a restricted area of [[Pinpoint Park]], in order to film a video for their ViewTube channel on the twelve-year anniversary of the Great Collision, in a crater caused by the Collision. While the group throws a surprise announcement for Dan's birthday, the second Great Collision occurs, causing the group to experience the [[Hide Matrix]] for the first time. Dan meets [[Dragonoid (Battle Planet)|Drago]], his new Bakugan partner.<ref>''[[Origin of Species Part 1]]''</ref>
Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones and their newfound Bakugan spend their time filming videos for their ViewTube channel. This is comprised of Dan, Wyton, Lia, and Lightning, and their Bakugan Drago, [[Trox (Battle Planet)|Trox]], [[Gorthion]], and [[Howlkor (Battle Planet)|Howlkor]] respectively, training and experimenting with BakuCores. Through this experimentation, Dan and Drago discover the abilities possible with BakuCores. The Awesome Ones share this discovery with the viewers on their ViewTube channel.<ref>''[[Origin of Species Part 2]]''</ref>
The Awesome Ones continue training with their Bakugan, to the point of exhaustion. As the other rest, Dan is persuaded by Drago to pick up food for the team at a local [[Burger Joint]]. He and Drago debate brawling possibilities when they encounter a mysterious Bakugan and its brawler robbing the Burger Joint. These turn out to be [[Aay]] and his [[Ventus (Reboot)|Ventus]] [[Mantonoid]]. By starting a brawl with this brawler to defend the Burger Joint, Dan discovers the [[Drome]]. Using a move that Wynton and Trox used earlier, Dan and Drago defeat Aay, receiving their meals for free in compensation. The two return to the [[Studio D]], where they collapse, exhausted from the brawl.<ref>''[[Burger Run]]''</ref>
After another intensive day of training, Dan and Drago are confronted by Wynton and Lia about the damage they caused while training. This scolding frustrates Dan, who takes Drago goes walking around Los Volmos. They encounter three [[Skorporos]]es and their brawlers the [[Rowdy Reds]]: [[Mac]], [[Max]], and [[Maggie]]. Dan sees that these three young children, while playing in the park with their Bakugan, are also causing a large amount of destruction. Dan attempts to teach the Rowdy Reds how to safely use their Bakugan, and later meets up with Wynton and Lia at the Burger Joint. Dan apologies for the destruction he caused, and tells them about how he taught the Rowdy Reds about safely using their Bakugan. However, it is revealed on a television broadcast by [[Veronica Venegas]] that the lesson had no effect on the Rowdy Reds, and the team is causing destruction with there Bakugan in a new area called [[Costero Canyada]]. Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones head to Costero Canyada, where he challenges all three of the Rowdy Reds to a brawl by himself. The brawl ends after Drago incapacitates the Rowdy Reds' Skorporos, and the Awesome Ones convince them that brawling further will only bring more destruction. After explaining to the Rowdy Reds that the Drome reverses the damage that was done inside of it after it falls, Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones help rebuild Costero Canyada.<ref>''[[Monkey See, Monkey Don't]]''</ref>
While this is occurring, [[Benton Dusk]] watches, and decides to cause a weather satellite to plummet towards Los Volmos. Back in their clubhouse, the Awesome Ones watch [[Veronica Venegas]] as she reports on the incoming satellite. While Wynton and Lia scramble to grab what they can before evacuate, Dan formulates a plan: if they could get their Bakugan back, they could destroy the satellite and repair Los Volmos' perceptions towards Bakugan. The team stops Kravitz on her way out of Los Volmos, demanding their Bakugan back. Kravitz declines, but as she walks past the Awesome Ones, her device that forces Bakugan out of their ball forms is knocked from her person, falling and activating the Bakugan in the cases. The Bakugan break free, and Kravitz escapes. Drago breaks the device, and the group begins to help civilians around the city, with Dan and Drago destroying the satellite using [[Twisting Inferno]]. After seeing this, the citizens of Los Volmos, including Dan's parents, tear up their anti-Bakugan fliers, and return to accepting Bakugan.<ref>''[[Local Heroes]]''</ref>
Dan helps Lia test out her new drone technology, when she notices something in the background of her videos. Lia goes off to investigate, and when Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones catch up to her, they find that she has discovered a new Bakugan, [[Pegatrix (Battle Planet)|Pegatrix]]. Pegatrix exerts her influence to calm Dan and the Awesome Ones. The Awesome Ones return to their clubhouse, where they find [[Jenkins]] with a brawl offer from [[China Riot]] for Lia. Lia immediately agrees and signs the accompanying contract. After Jenkins leaves, Lia realizes that the contract has a clause in it that the requires the loser of the brawl to give their Bakugan to the winner.
Later, the team is driven to the location of the brawl: a giant stone room in the middle of a desert, and are greeted by China and Jenkins. After seeing Lia loses Gorthion to China, Dan and Wynton step up to challenge China, offering their own Bakugan up in return for Gorthion. Despite their best efforts, Drago and Trox are still surprised by the movable arena. However, with the help of Lia and Pegatrix, they are able to locate BakuCores. With the combined effort of Drago, Trox, and Pegatrix, the Awesome Ones easily beat Maxotaur, and Gorthion is returned to Lia. However, China refuses to hand over Maxotaur, and escapes with Jenkins on a helicopter.<ref>''[[Pegatrix (episode)|Pegatrix]]''</ref>
After [[Aay]]'s attack on a local shopping mall, Dan notices the aptitudes of [[Magnus Black]] (in disguise) and [[Shun Kazami (Battle PlanetReboot)|Shun Kazami]]. He invites both of them to try out for the Awesome Ones, though after seeing Magnus' reckless behavior, the group chooses to induct Shun.<ref>''[[Frenemies]]''</ref>
Dan is approached by [[Bobby]] in order to help track down his missing Bakugan, [[Bear]]. The Awesome Ones discover that Bear has been stolen and brainwashed by [[Strata the Hunter]]. Dan and the rest of the Awesome ones manage to destroy the device controlling Bear, freeing him.<ref>''[[Strata's Fear]]''</ref> After [[Lightning]] discovers [[Artulean]], [[Magnus]] approaches Dan in disguise, claiming to be a Bakugan counselor. Dan buys the disguise, and refers Lightning and Artulean to him in hopes that he helps then get along. After seeing that Magnus was just trying to trick them, he attempts to brawl him with Drago, only to hold back so that he doesn't hurt the brainwashed Artulean.<ref>''[[Dog Daze]]''</ref> [[Veronica Venegas]] approaches the Awesome Ones, asking if they could do a story about their Bakugan. Dan agrees, but each of the attempts to cover something is botched by [[Strata]] in order to make Dan look good. Because of this, the other members of the Awesome Ones become annoyed with Dan. This hubris causes Dan and the other AO to become distracted during a brawl with the [[Exit Team]]. In the aftermath of the brawl, Hydorous is captured by Strata, but is later freed by Dan and Drago after the Awesome Ones reconcile.<ref>''[[In Focus]]''</ref> ===[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]===After defeating [[Tiko]] and saving both Earth and [[Vestroia]], Bakugan explodes in popularity. Dan and the rest of the now renamed [[Awesome Brawlers]] are treated as celebrities, constantly hounded for their attention and for Bakugan brawls. This culminates in the [[Bakugan Celebration Day]], where the Awesome Brawlers are given medals and compete in a [[Bakugan Battle Challenge Matches|tournament]] against other brawlers.
