'''Masquerade Ball''' is the second episode of ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]''. It aired on April 11, 2007 in Japan and September 4, 2007 in North America.

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 Kuso|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.
