** Maybe Vestals and humans have different growth rates, not by a significant margin but enough for their muscular systems to develop at different speeds within the same age group.

** The Command cards suddenly returned in the second half of New Vestroia. Whether it was just TMS being forgetful or the writers completely ignoring the rules of the game intentionally, we'll never know.

* Whatever happened to the Command and Character cards in Season 2? The only Gate Cards I saw being played were Attribute, or "Reactor" cards. And besides, in the physical game, each player needs one Silver, Copper, and Gold card (the real-world equivalent to Attribute, Command, and Character cards, respectively) in their deck. So why did they decide to shelf such a fundamental concept?

** They are non-canon, especially since events occur differently in the games from in the anime. Coupled with this, it's strongly implied that the games are all canonically separate from each other. Given that Leonidas doesn't appear in the anime or the subsequent games, it can be concluded that he likely only exists the universe portrayed in the first game; either that or the version of the player in Defenders of the Core never met him, if he did exist in that timeline.

** The original series seems to work like this: Each match consists of both brawlers using 3 bakugan, with the winner being whichever player defeats all 3 opposing bakugan while still having at least 1 of their own bakugan left standing (barring Dan and Masquerade's final battle, which was 1v1). Players can use ability cards whenever they want, but they are limited to 3 per match. Some ability cards can be re-used, like Dive Mirage, while others are limited to one use per match. If 2 opposing bakugan land on the same gate card, they brawl, and the bakugan with the lower points loses, eliminating it from the match.

* It ''really'' bugs me that the monsters' seasonal power boosts are ridiculously huge. It makes sense that they would get a little better as the series goes on, but in the first season, a monster with a power level of 400 was considered a [[{{GameBreaker}} Game Breaker]], but now everybody's throwing around 900-level monsters like it's nobody's business. The sickening reality is that it's just a way to ensure that kids keep buying the toys lest they become outclassed by their friends, and I can't think of a more [[{{Egregious}} egregious]] example of corporate whorery.

* In the first videogame, your partner is Leonidas. In the other games, you have the same customization options, leading to a belief that it is the same character. What happened to Leo?

* OK, here's something that has been bugging me since I know the characters better: Alice is Russian, her last name is Gehabich, but she's a girl, russian female last names end in "a", shouldn't her last name be Gehabicha?

** Three reasons. First, Barodius has also "evolved" and gotten far more powerful than he was before. Second , they had to make it at least somewhat shocking when his true identity is revealed, so he had to use another name. And third, after he was revealed, Barodius said ThatManIsDead. He doesn't even see ''himself'' as Barodius anymore, so there's no reason to refer to him as anything other than Mag Mel. It's made quite clear by TheReveal that Barodius has lost his mind, you probably would too being imprisoned in another dimmension in armor that's literally MadeOfEvil for at least several months with nothing but your own evil thoughts to keep you company. So it's likely he made up the Mag Mel identity as a result of his insanity.

*** Looking at the show, this is becoming the case with every bakugan. They ''all'' look humanoid now. Probably because it's easier to animate.

******* It aired. Technically Runo brawled, but all she really did was throw in her bakugan and then stand there and cheer the rest of the match. Dan's the one who played the ability cards for whats-his-name, and at the the that bakugan went back to New Vestroia, to........Tigrera of all people. While I'm at it,Mira's "brawl" was almost the same, except she did less. Roxtor threw himself in and Marucho played all the abilities. Mira just stood there and looked pretty. I think it's safe to assume the girls won't be getting much action, which is probably why Alice hasn't come back.
