Here are the common abilities and resistances for Bakugan. The blog is self-explanatory.


Layered Hax

Mind Manipulation


Hydranoid can refuse to use Masquerade's ability cards. Normally, a Bakugan cannot deny its owner's abilities. The same goes for Drago.

Naga can manipulate Hydranoid's mind with the Silence Core (1 Layer)

Drago gets the Silence Core from Naga. Therefore, he should also get the Mind Mp resistance, which is already in his profile. Drago (1 Layer Mind Manipulation & Resistance)

Kazarina can manipulate Drago's mind (2 Layer)

Dharak can also manipulate Drago's mind (2 Layer)

Madness Manipulation

Dharak also drives Drago mad. Drago's madness mp resistance is in his profile. (1 Layer)

Power Nullification

Dharak, Sabator and Lumagrowl can deal damage to Mobile Assaults even without Mobile Assault. They overcome the resistances that Mobile Assaults have, so they should have Layered Power Nullfication and Invulnerability Negation. There are explanations in the Mobile Assault section of the blog. (1 Layer)

Existence Erasure


Helios wasn't erased despite being subjected to the Bakugan Interspace erasure process. Therefore, he has resistance to being erased from existence. Even Drago escaped from this area to avoid being erased. Since he was powerful enough to erase even Drago, Helios' resistance must be one level greater than Drago's. Drago's resistance to being erased from existence is acknowledged in this CRT. Both have a resistance to being erased from existence in their profiles. (1 Layer Existence Erasure Resistance)

Alright, I am looking into this. (Going top down, what I am not commenting on can be assumed I am fine with if I have not mentioned something below

Standard abilities

This is not aca 4, since it's about it breaking the laws of nature, not functioning on a different casualty system.

Enhanced Senses: (Bakugan can sense Negative Energy
This is extraordinary perception, not enhanced senses.


Time Manipulation: (Bakugan and Bakugan users can move in environments where time is frozen, such as the Bakugan arena. They can move and fight even in the Reverse Dark Dimension of the Earth. In this dimension, time has stopped and when the dimension disappears, time continues to flow again.
I don't think this is a resistance, since it seems like a case of "I am not targeted" kinda thing, instead of resisting it, like how any character can use an ability without needing resistance towards it. Also, being in a place without time doesn't give any resistance.

Soul Manipulation: (While in the Doom Dimension, where Bakugan go when they die, they can fight and their souls can withstand damage from attacks
Would love a scan.


Atributes

I think this is more suitable.

This ability fits better.


Durability Negation (Can damage the opponent's Solar Plexus area
Not sure about this one.

Tbh, I think this is more evidence that the original "Time stop" resistance is not deserved. o yeah, I agree this is Time stop, but remove the layer.

For this reason, it's given a 4 on the accepted Yordle physiology page.


And it's not just this statement. There's a bit more evidence to support it. I'll write about it tomorrow. I don't have much time right now.

Did I write there's no time? There is time, only it's frozen. The links also indicate that time is frozen.

Time freezes when Dan's father's pudding falls. The Bakugan and the Bakugan Brawlers are unaffected.

Other evidence is that the clock doesn't move on the opposite side of the Dark World, indicating that time is frozen. Drago, Razenoid, and even their Brawlers, Dan and Mag Mel, can move. Drago and Razenoid already have time-stop resistance in their existing profiles, and it stems from this scene. This is already accepted in the wiki.

Don't use accepted stuff from other verses as "evidence." There is no argument on the wiki I hate more than that. Something being wrongly accepted or with specific verse conditions does not provide an alibi for this to be accepted.

You didn't write it, but that was what the scans showed. Either way, it doesn't change the point. It is not a resistance since they are not being "affected" by the timestop in the first place.
'

Yes, precisely, they are "unaffected," not immune or resistant.

So your argument is that since it's already accepted, it is alright even if it would be wrong? To make things worse, the same scene that I disagreed with in the first place.

Tıme Stop

It is explained in the blog but I will write it here anyway. Bakugan can move in environments where time has stopped. But the time-stopping abilities of Haos Bakugan still affect them. That's why Haos Bakugan must have 1-layer Time Stop. Scans are available on the blog

Power Nullification

Dharak, Sabator and Lumagrowl can deal damage to Mobile Assaults even without Mobile Assault.

I understand what you mean, but a scan with a description similar to the one I used was used in another series. There's additional evidence, so I'm sharing it now.

If it helps on the acausality:
1. Drago has been stated and shown to resist the effects of cards if he wills it: this would include cards that stop time like the Field Open card and Haos Freeze, cards that rewind time like 'Time warp' and 'Rewind', and Cards that skip forward in time like 'Prevention'

2. Drago famously warped the entirety of Vestroia when creating new Vestroia, including the doom dimension which also looks notably different in mechtanium surge. This would also include the Current of time which is described as the timeline https://bakugan.fandom.com/wiki/Current_of_Time Vladitor should also have warped it during his games climax where he warps the doom dimension


3. In mechtanium surge episode 44 'Blast From the Past' they go back in time after being sent to the doom dimension to stop Mechtavius from killing evryone, creating a time paradox. Which they are unaffected by.

4. Bakugan move in stopped time naturally, as seen in most fights from new Vestroia that take place on earth. Even humans with minus energy from the core are shown to move around in stopped time this is supported by all the times Masquerade teleports into battles that already started (since he would be frozen in time unable to enter otherwise)
 
Yes, precisely, they are "unaffected," not immune or resistant.
They're already gaining resistance because they're not affected. It's not like the ability doesn't apply to them. Ordinary people on the Dark Side of the World are frozen because time is frozen. Dan and Drago aren't frozen when they arrive. That time-freezing ability doesn't only freeze selected targets. You didn't understand that. Many people, especially Lord Griffin, agreed that this scene should be time-stopped.

Alice is moving in a timeless state. How can you deny that?

Generally I agree with this. Plus
Resistance to:

I really don't get how is this a resistance. This seems more like a weakness if anything, the description just says "Bakugan can go crazy" which doesn't give resistances at all.
This is badly worded. I assume you meant Bakugan can affect the interspace which is made up of data right?
Also isn't this just because they themselves are in the interspace? This seems more like "they entered a computer program so they can interact with its data" type of thing rather than a straight up manipulation. And even if it's not it'd just be data based NPI, not Data Manip itself.

They go crazy less than the others. If they didn't go crazy at all, there would be resistance. Limited resistance because they can be negatively affected a little. The negative effects are Falconeer (he became able to fight his instincts)>Preyas (he couldn't stand still without jumping)>Drago (he felt the negative energy but didn't experience the same situation as Preyas & Falconeer).

Thinking about it, this makes sense to me. Characters already teleport when entering Interspace. They might also be converting themselves into data while doing so.

But still, being able to block the Haos Bakugan's light-shooting attacks would be an NPI, wouldn't it?

Okay but that's not really a resistance for all Bakugan. Maybe some specific characters can get supernatural willpower that allows them to last longer without going insane but idk if that can truly be considered resistance, even a limited one.

Yeah that'd be NPI but specifically for light and similar stuff.
 
Limited Madness Manipulation (Type 3): (Bakugan can go crazy if exposed to Negative Energy. Falconeer, who was exposed to Negative Energy, began to fight with his instincts. Preyas, who was slightly exposed to Negative Energy, could not stand still and began to jump. "All Bakugan exposed to Negative Energy grow dark inside them and become evil.")
  • As stated by others, this would be Limited Resistance for those specific characters.
Time Manipulation: (Bakugan and Bakugan users can move in environments where time is frozen, such as the Bakugan arena. They can move and fight even in the Reverse Dark Dimension of the Earth. In this dimension, time has stopped and when the dimension disappears, time continues to flow again)
  • As stated by others, they seem not to be the targets of the ability.
  • This seems like Statistics Amplification.
Durability Negation (It reduces the opponent's strength without causing physical damage to the opponent. The opponent cannot move. The way to get rid of The Saiam Low ability is to merge with a machine or a character or increase the power at the last second.)
  • This seems like Paralysis Inducement & Statistics Reduction.
Durability Negation (Can damage the opponent's Solar Plexus area)
  • This needs to be explained.
  • This is just Spatial.
Time Stop (1 Layer) (With Standart Haos Ability: Haos Freeze. Freeze Jail freezes the time around the opponent, completely neutralizing them)
  • No layers.
Power Nullification, Statistics Amplification, Forcefield Creation (The shield is created and the opponents cannot use abilities. The power of those who hit the created shield is reduced)
  • Remove Statistics Amplification, it's Damage Transferal or Attack Reflection.
  • Seems more like Electricity-based Telekinesis or something.
Shapeshifting & Power Mimicry (Contestir can copy a Bakugan's appearance and all of its powers, but cannot copy their Battle Gear)
  • Not a resistance, just a limitation of the ability.
Invulnerability & Passiv Power Nullification (Bakugan's attacks cannot damage Mobile Assaults. Bakugan's abilities do not work on BMA due to Anti-Ability Shield)
  • Forcefield Creation, not Invulnerability.
Not comment on the rest of the scaling, but abilities seem good.
 
  • As stated by others, they seem not to be the targets of the ability.
Now I have a question: Isn't Time Stop resistance the reason why those who enter the frozen area after time is frozen don't freeze with time? Because even though they weren't in that dimension when time was frozen, they enter that dimension afterward. But they don't freeze like ordinary people who are BFR'd into that dimension. Unlike them, they can move.

  • This needs to be explained.
There's a chakra region referred to as the Solar Plexus. Wiki definition: The solar plexus is the largest of the sympathetic nerve plexuses in the abdominal cavity.

Tapping it negatively impacts the nerve plexus. Since hitting internal organs is considered a dura mater, I assumed it must be the dura mater.

  • Remove Statistics Amplification, it's Damage Transferal or Attack Reflection.
As shown on the screen, it also reduces the power level of the person hitting the shield. Hammersaur's power has been reduced from 350 to 300.

  • Not a resistance, just a limitation of the ability.
I thought you might get a response like this. Okay then, I'll remove it.
Invulnerability
It's stated that it won't be damaged by those without Mobile Ausault. That's why I thought it might be invulnerability. Does forcefield creation occur just because the shield image appears?
 
Now I have a question: Isn't Time Stop resistance the reason why those who enter the frozen area after time is frozen don't freeze with time? Because even though they weren't in that dimension when time was frozen, they enter that dimension afterward. But they don't freeze like ordinary people who are BFR'd into that dimension. Unlike them, they can move.
Time Stop can be selective about who is frozen and who isn't, which is why it's important for resistances to be clarified.

Pretty sure it's just a name in this situation, because it looks like Light Manipulation.
As shown on the screen, it also reduces the power level of the person hitting the shield. Hammersaur's power has been reduced from 350 to 300.
Amplification means stats go up. Reduction is stats going down.
It's stated that it won't be damaged by those without Mobile Ausault. That's why I thought it might be invulnerability. Does forcefield creation occur just because the shield image appears?
The damage is nullified through a shield, which is why it would be Forcefield Creation.
 
Time Stop can be selective about who is frozen and who isn't, which is why it's important for resistances to be clarified.
So, in context, why wouldn't Razenoid and Mag Mel want Drago and Dan frozen? Freezing them would guarantee them a decisive victory. They wanted to crush them more than anything.

Monarus is shown to have something happen to his abdominal area and is looking up in pain.


I am now replacing the ones you did not accept with the correct ones.
 
Don't use accepted stuff from other verses as "evidence." There is no argument on the wiki I hate more than that. Something being wrongly accepted or with specific verse conditions does not provide an alibi for this to be accepted.
Maybe your right let heard his opinion.
The fact that they basically exist by their own laws, i.e. beyond the normal laws of nature, puts them in a different “causality” because the laws within causality are always part of a system and the laws of nature are already a causality-cycle
 
So, in context, why wouldn't Razenoid and Mag Mel want Drago and Dan frozen? Freezing them would guarantee them a decisive victory. They wanted to crush them more than anything.
Not sure, but they certainly didn't seem surprised, or vocalize "They resisted our time stop!" or "How are you still moving?"

But since they themselves aren't frozen, it's understandable that they shouldn't be surprised. I'm also advocating that Bakugan and the Brawlers who use them should get time-stop resistance. Those frozen by time-freezing aren't Bakugan or Bakugan Brawlers.
Oh, I thought I commented on that. Yes, I disagree unless there are more specific details on how they break the laws and what it has to do with causality.
In this scene, it is mentioned that Bakugan's existence in the human world is against the laws of nature, and if they do not return to their own universe, the human world will be destroyed.

I have also included supporting evidence for Aca4 in my own comment here.

Has this time stop ever been used offensively, or frozen a Bakugan or Brawler? If not, I feel it's just something that happens automatically, not something they have to bother resisting, because it doesn't target them.

Mag Mel and Razenoid sent ordinary people to this dimension with the BFR, and they froze them. They didn't issue any additional commands to freeze time. Dan and Drago, however, entered there themselves. But they did so without Mag Mel and Razenoid knowing, and they were able to move around. If they hadn't intentionally frozen them, they would have missed the opportunity to obtain the Gate and Key in episode 23. These Gate and Key powers are things they deeply desire. So, they couldn't have deliberately chosen not to freeze them and instead fought.
 
I also noticed a few hacks I forgot to add.

Bakugans return to ball form when they lose. When they exit ball form and rejoin the battle, they shed any previous debuffs. They're essentially regenerated. As long as you don't kill the Bakugan, they always return to ball form, giving them a kind of immortality. Would this be Immortality Types 3 and 4? Also, since they shrink in ball form, they have a Small Size.

Bakugans evolve, becoming stronger than before and gaining new abilities. Could we add Reactive Evolution?

I think "accelerated development" would be more fitting.

I am not sure, it's either "regeneration/restoration" over time/non-combat, since it the same Bakugan can't be used in the same fight if my memory serves correctly.


I don't understand what you're asking. I already stated that the reason the characters aren't affected is because of the time stop resistance.
We are officially going in circles, it's the same issue we have already mentioned repeatedly.
I feel it's just something that happens automatically, not something they have to bother resisting, because it doesn't target them.

I may be misremebering but I'm 99.9999% sure that any brawlers or Bakugans that don't actively participate in the fight starting also get frozen in time. I just opened a random Bakugan episode and at 13:10 you can see Runo, a Bakugan Brawler, was affected by the timestop

So given the blatant counter evidence and complete lack of even a remote implication that they have time stop resistance, I think it's safe to say it's just a mechanic of the time stop not stopping time for the brawlers actively participating in combat.
In this scene, it is mentioned that Bakugan's existence in the human world is against the laws of nature, and if they do not return to their own universe, the human world will be destroyed.


Nothing supporting acausality.

Yeah, in that case, I disagree with resistance to Time Manipulation.
 
I am not sure, it's either "regeneration/restoration" over time/non-combat, since it the same Bakugan can't be used in the same fight if my memory serves correctly.
This was only a rule for the first season. Losing Bakugan cannot be reused. Starting with Season 2, you can continue with the same Bakugan even if you lose a round, as long as the enemy doesn't take your Bakugan from you (which requires defeating them with a 500 G difference).

Runo doesn't come with them to the pocket dimension where the match is located. Also, that would only be for the Bakugan brawler. We shouldn't ignore the fact that Drago and Razenoid move in the Dark Dimension. We also see Alice and Masquerade do this.
I think "accelerated development" would be more fitting.
Okay, I'll add this with the name hax then.
 
Two more haxes just came to mind. I forgot to write about them yesterday.

Even if they travel back in time, they can exist simultaneously with their past selves. I think that's enough for ACA1.

He also stated that he was considering changing the past to save Balista's life.

They can combine their powers with a Bakugan of the same element as them, self-destruct, and explode. Radizen called this "Aquos Hammer." He would combine his own Aquos power with Balista's Aquos power to explode. The Mechtagon version of this was also used against Zenthon and Zenthon Titan, Razenoid's mechtogan. A technique with the word "Hammer" appears in both scenes.
 
no?

Acasualty 1 is when the user is unaffected by changes in the past.
Sure, he warns Balista not to learn Wiseman's identity. He's trying to change his past and save his future. Balista, once again, goes after Wiseman's identity and dies, but if you look closely at the scene, Balista speaks to Worton twice, which surprises him. The first time was Worton from the future, and the second time was Worton coming to talk to Balista from the past.
 
Runo doesn't come with them to the pocket dimension where the match is located.
That's exactly the point. It proves time doesn't stop depending on whether you go to the battle realm or not, not based on whether you are a Bakugan/BBrawler.
Also, that would only be for the Bakugan brawler.
No it would be for everyone because it proves the time stop is selective.
We shouldn't ignore the fact that Drago and Razenoid move in the Dark Dimension. We also see Alice and Masquerade do this.
What about it?
