Plot
A very gifted and infamous Bakugan player, known as Masquerade, has been taking Bakugan from kids all over the world using his Reaper. Among his victims includes Runo Misaki, one of Dan's friends. When he 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!
During the battle, Masquerade reveals his secret weapon—the Doom Card, which sends its opponent's Bakugan to the Doom Dimension. Masquerade gains the upper-hand, sending two of Dan's Bakugan to the Doom Dimension, and it's only Drago's immense power boost destroying the battlefield that draws the battle to a tie. Afterwards, Masquerade leaves Dan alone with the gravity of his new discovery.
Featured Brawls
Battle at the Playground
- Runo VS Masquerade
The 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. *]
Dan throws out Drago onto an empty Gate Card. (Power: 340 Gs)
Dan activates Fire Wall.
Shuji throws out Ventus Falconeer against Pyrus Serpenoid. (Power: 300 Gs)
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.
