#i love alice and ace but bringing back either of them as the darkus brawler wouldn't work as well

her: they're probably thinking abt other women

me: at the end of episode 52 of nv when everyone's saying goodbye, helios and drago talk abt hopefully the next time they meet they'll still be friends and be on the same side. when spectra shows up again in ms he tells them that yes they're still friends and on the same side, however when he comes back the brawlers are falling apart and dan has a link to magmel and is also generally being a Huge Jerk™, which might be an understatement. bringing back spectra during this arc was a brilliant idea bc other than being the writers' clear favourite, nv already set up parallels between dan and spectra and the contrast between how dan's acting and how even spectra of all people is actually disturbed and concerned by it shows how bad the situation has actually gotten.

#sometimes bakugan makes interesting writing decisions but bringing spectra back during ms? absolutely brilliant #like fanservice and obviously being the writers' favourite def played a part dont get me wrong #but its just so good it makes me feral #i decided itd be fun to watch the last few episodes of new vestroia and then move onto spectra's episodes in ms #and boy it was such a good fucking idea #i do find it funny how spectra keeps coming and going though like #the writers made him too op so he cant show up every episode lest the season end like 4 episodes after hes brought back #i genuinely dont think bringing back any other characters would have made as much of an impact #i love alice and ace but bringing back either of them as the darkus brawler wouldn't work as well #bc shun and marucho fill the roles that they would fill #ren maybe but like. he has far more to do with marucho compared to dan #spectra however is a former villain who did a lot of fucked up things and one of dan's strongest rivals #OH ID ALSO LIKE TO MENTION that after the brawl were spectra shows up. spectra immediately asks if dan is okay after that whole thing #it was only after dan plays it off and pretends its fine does he seem actually disappointed and leaves #idk i thought that was interesting #god bless when i get started i am incapable of shutting up i am. SO sorry #im just insane and having an autism moment dont mind me
