Plot[edit]

One day, Dan prepares for a brawl against Akira, at the park. However, he arrives only to find that Shuji, Akira's older brother, is his challenger. During their second battle, a Pyrus Dragonoid appears. A battle ensues and during the course of the battle, Dan has a vision of the Dragonoid struggling against a Darkus Fear Ripper. The battle continues and Dan is victorious. The Dragonoid starts to explain what's behind the scenes of Bakugan, and from that point onwards, the Battle Brawlers realize that Bakugan is more than just a game, and must save Earth and Vestroia from destruction at the hands of the tyrannical Naga.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Japanese version, this episode is named after Hideaki Tokunaga's song of the same name.
  • The Korean title for this episode follows the Japanese version and is called "용의 전사" (The Dragon Warrior).
  • At the beginning of the episode, as Dan is taking out Bakugan from his collection, he pulls out a Serpenoid while calling it a Saurus. The Bakugan he takes out before the Serpenoid, however, is a Saurus.

Deleted Scenes[edit]

  • Because of time constraints, a scene in the introduction where a woman found a Gate Card in her purse was edited out of the English version.
