Yeah there would need to be some reshuffling. I think many suggested Barry as Pyros as it would need minimal design alterations. Though it feels... a little boring ... you know. Ace can work as Aquos if we add Lancelot theme (lol) to his bakugan evolutions. We can even play with arthurian themes. Yes, it makes Mira his Arthur and we can pull so much from this. It doesn't matter that the original may not have been that deep. Doesn't matter.

it would mean no Marucho but! I think him having screentime in Gundalions was a right call because his Ren dynamics were good. So he is still represented. Mira must stay subterra for gus parallel purposes (and salt mines). Speaking of Gus, gus as bastard theory is good so maybe it would have worked as canon.

continuation of this ask and this ask.

couldn't help myself so i drew my version of pyrus!baron and aquos!ace ashjdjsksk

some notes:

pyrus for baron works surprisingly well with his energetic attitude and canon catchphrase 「激熱!」 gekiatsu! → "let's fire this up!"

added some tails to his headband. i was gonna replace the lightning bolt with flames but i can't draw flames so 😭pyrus symbol it is rip

his overall fit is pretty nice so i didn't want to change anything. although i didn't draw the rest of him, i can imagine swapping his pants and boots for dan's since dan won't be in the resistance in this au lol

ace was lucky enough to get some of shun's gender ambiguous swag. the gloves and exposed shoulders are an obvious reference to shun's resistance fit. kept the big sleeves bc that's ace's thing™️but he will have to fight hatsune miku for the trademark tho.

the rings in his hair are actually a reference to elyon from w.i.t.c.h. for no other reason other than i thought it'd look cool. but it also works because marucho's resistance outfit has a lot of circles on it.

could be nice if there was some lady of the lake stuff sprinkled into ace's ability cards especially after percival evolves into knight percival but alas, i know nothing about the legend of king arthur so im leaving this up to you guys lmao.

and yeah, i totally agree with you. marucho is really not needed for the first half of nv so i don't mind swapping him out for runo or alice. mira of course should stay because she started the resistance and she needs to be the driving force behind the whole bakugan liberation movement. the spectra/gus and mira/ace parallels would be even more pronounced with ace acting as mira's lancelot 🫣

as for the gus theory asjhdjksask i don't mind if it's there in a possible s2 rewrite or not. i feel like that kinda plot twist would need a reason to be there so i'll think about what it could mean for gus' character arc to be zenoheld's bastard child because it would change a lot.

mylene is so interesting to me bc like. she just chucks elico out as soon as she gets a mechanical replacement with macubass. and i think she's the only villain so callous about their guardian bakugan???

most villains still care about their bakugan and usually actually share the same goals and are on the same wavelength, birds of a feather and all that. like even characters like kazarina, cruel as she is, still are fond of their guardian bakugan. and theres characters like spectra and barodius who's plans center around their guardian bakugan, and are actively encouraged by those bakugan.

even characters who's guardian bakugan dont necessarily get along with them all the time, like avior and mason's constant bickering, are still friends. meanwhile mylene just. throws elico out. and also takes brontes from volt and throws him out as well. i think whats also interesting, since the show likes to bring up spectra and mylene parallels, is how spectra uses machines to upgrade and evolve helios, while mylene outright replaces elico with a machine.

but it's not like she's shown to be like. completely heartless either. she calls volt her friend even though she threw out brontes beforehand. she stands up for hydron when zenoheld takes his anger out on him. she has some weird friendship with shadow prove.

i think she was the vehicle to show the general vestal opinion on bakugan, since mylene only sees her bakugan as weapons and when she loses she blames the loss on them. (meanwhile i think volt is supposed to show that not all vestals are THAT bad, even if they are part of the king's entourage of fucked up teenage celebrity theatre kids). and i think she's very interesting bc of that. anyways i love mylene.

#mylene farrow #bakugan new vestroia #lync and shadow prove can also be considered this to a lesser extent??? but they've never had a guardian bakugan #so the comparisons aren't as strong #they probs dont have guardian bakugan for the same reason mylene threw elico out #i think lync is more representative of nv's overarching theme of loyalty. as is shadow prove.#and obvs spectra gus and hydron too #obvs mylene and volt are too but like i dont think that's their main purpose #i think they're more supposed to represent vestal society as a whole #i feel like this went off on a slight tangent or something?? this is just how my thoughts work im adhd #interestingly i think the time when spectra is at his worst is when he steals drago #after he steals drago he kinda sorta starts ignoring helios a little?? kinda replaces helios with drago???#so he replaces one bakugan with another thats seemingly more powerful and can only follow orders. sounds familiar??#love that tbh. i love villains. they're so interesting.#also i could probably write a post even longer than this about nv's theme of loyalty regarding the vestals #but thats neither here nor there lmao. always happy to ramble #anyways also happy lesbian visibility day from ur local bakugan loving aro lesbian #also this post ended up being far longer than i expected but i have brainrot sooooo #ANYWAYS BYEEEEEEEEE might go watch nv i love that season if u cant tell

Who is spectra, I might be able to give you an idea.🖤💙💜💚

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!!

This is my boy Spectra!! I post a lot of tickle art of him already, some with his sister Mira, some with his father Clay, some with his rivals like Dan, Runo or Julie (technically Mira too lmao) and most of all, his partner Gus (who I ship him with~)

I know most of y'all don't plan on watching Bakugan, but I am just gonna say, Spoiler Warning beyond this point!

He's one of the main antagonists in season 2 of Bakugan Battle Brawlers. He's got a serious God complex. He's a power-hungry villian who will do anything to get what he wants. He plans on defeating King Zenoheld and taking the throne for himself. Then later, he plans on taking what's called "The Perfect Core Energy" from the main protagonist, Dan's Bakugan, Drago. All in an effort to turn his Bakugan, Helios, into the Ultimatw Bakugan. Gus Grav is his most trusted friend and follower. Gus just follows Spectra everywhere and does his bidding, no questions asked. (They absolutely in love). Even though he's cruel and evil, he still does the right thing from time to time! He helps the brawlers save a bunch of Bakugan from a thing called the BY System, which essentially forces the Bakugan into ball form so they can be controlled. Even though he works against Mira, he still feels a connection to her, and he even misses Gus when he's presumed dead. After Dan beats him for the last time, Spectra drops the mask and joins the resistance, going by his real name again, Keith Fermin. And he's back to his old self, caring, sweet, and really smart, too! He's close to all the brawlers, especially Dan and Mira, obviously. Then, during the final battle against King Zenoheld, he and Gus are reunited, and it's really sweet 🥺💚 GOSH I love this stupid show.

The Vexos as religious leaders... But what religion may Vestal have? A Roman-esque cult to the leader? A monotheistic one telling them to "enlighten the impure" with colonization? Do they worship the Six Warriors, or do they know about the Code Eve? Or did they worship a similar set of beings they then identified with the previous seven? Is all of that at once? 1/2

2/2 Does that mean Shadow maybe conducted sacrifices to Exedra, while Mylene believed Frosch to be the same as a water deity they worshipped back in Vestal? Does Volt think Bakugan deserve the same rights as them because they're all children of the Code Eve? Does Lync "realize" the current monarchy is unworthy of their title and decides to help Alice in the hopes then a true king deserving of worship would follow? Is Gus so enamoured with Spectra because he believes him to be a Messiah? Idk 3/2 Did Keith believe he was this figure that was promises to bring an era of enlightenment and prosperity to Vestal, and that's why he changed his appearance and name? Ok, this question and the Gus one are pretty much cannon... But idk, I think this is fic material

this got long LMAO i love talking about the connections of religion to the state and social psychology so this just got me talking. under the cut so it won't clog everyone's blogs

i def think vestal lacks any solid indication to what their religion may be, if any. the most we get is the origin of their people's name but that doesn't come from anything in-canon, it's from irl history. BUT there's also the theme of their bakugan being named after greek/roman deities - helios, vulcan, hades, brontes/bronte. altair and vega (jpn name of elico) are named after stars. from this, i'd give them a polytheistic religion, maybe one modeled after ancient greece and rome. this would inform much of their collective psychology.

also, in the rare time that i'll ever back up the wikia, here's their note on zenoheld's name which i can see happening due to the pattern of vestal referencing ancient greece and rome:

Zenoheld's name is possibly a mis-transliteration of Xenoheld. Xeno- derived from the Greek ξένος (alien, foreign) and -held, with connotation of ownership, Zenoheld's name therefore means "ruler of the cosmos/foreign lands".

here's my problem with making bakugan/the brawlers deities in any possible vestal religion - if they were deities in the vestal religion, why then do vestals enslave and colonize the bakugan? aren't they supposed to be holy beings, to be given reverence to? by all accounts, hydron turning 5/6 of the original bakugan to stone (and planning to turn shun and marucho in bronze statues) should make him and the vexos the worst heretics ever. i don't think they know of the existence of code eve, either. vestals (namely spectra and clay) only get in contact with neathia by the near end of the season, and it's through fabia's encrypted message.

also, if they worship the bakugan, they should have a longer exposure to bakugan, but the timeline shows that the bakugan only came in contact with the vestals the same time it with humans, which was three years. keep in mind that religion more often than not is the justification of monarchies throughout history - japanese emperors claimed they were descended from the celestial sun goddess amaterasu, the zhou dynasty had the mandate of heaven, sultans trace their ancestry to the prophet Muhammad, and european monarchs were always in junction with the churches. even today, the world's remaining absolute monarchies either have islam or christianity as a state religion, at least if you count the vatican. but zenoheld is an old man and is the fourth of his name. it just doesn't line up with the given timeline.

spectra and gus are interesting because spectra canonically refers to himself as a god/aims to be a god, and gus' reverence for him is honestly so much like a god and its believer. gus saying spectra showed him the "light of hope," gus saying spectra gave him a reason to live after he lost and was aimless, spectra "converting" gus in a cathedral-esque setting with a painting of helios in front of them. very much religion-like. if there's any religion or belief system in vestal, it's whatever spectra and gus have going on. gus' reverence for spectra is also what supports spectra in his bid to rule vestal and the rest of the known world - it's a version of the divine right of kings.

A List of Non-Redeemed Villains:2010–Present

I've been seeing those "let villains be villains" posts all across the board. My list is aimed at the people who think irredeemable villains have gone extinct, even though that's never been the case.

We've still gotten lots of fantastic utter bastards! And the less monstrous villains aren't any less impressive than the former!

• Bold text and demon face😈: Fully evil villains. These guys will sink however low they must in order to achieve their evil goals.

• Italicized text and⚫: Villains who are mostly terrible people, but not bad-to-the-bone material. They...

– Possess fewer (some barely) redeemable qualities than the third category

– If they have tragic backstory, it isn't focused upon that much, if at all.

– Aren't heinous enough to be fully evil villains.

– Generally remain unredeemed.

– Stayed villains to the very end.

• Normal text and🔴: Villains who have...

– More complex motivations than the previous two categories.

– A good amount of redeemable qualities

– Traumatic or tragic backstories that are addressed more in-depth by the story.

– The capacity to redeem themselves, but didn’t.

– And other reasons that disqualify them from complete villainhood — but they remain/remained villains to the very end.

🔷 Blue diamond emoji besides titles: Disney films and shows; a rebuttal against the "Disney villains are going extinct" argument.

• Older media will show up on this list if new bad guys were introduced in 2010 and beyond. Pre-2010 characters will not.

Note: An adaptation of an old character is its own thing. MCU!Thanos is a post-2010!baddie.

• Many of these properties have baddies who remained bad, so not every single one of them will show up on the list.

• This star emoji ⭐ indicates stories that contained many villains who remained bad.

• There is stuff I left out/missed due to the sheer amount of content out there, and my poor memory. Thus, this list is a work in progress.

Your suggestions are welcome!
