==Plot==
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==
*In the Japanese version, this episode is named after [[wikipedia:Hideaki Tokunaga|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===*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.
