History NightmareFuel / Bakugan

*** Like I said before. JESUS, Mechtavius Destroyer is an OmnicidalManiac indeed.

** First and foremost, Kazarina possesses MindControl powers. She can brainwash anyone simply by looking into their eyes, with the effects ranging from as simple as making someone unconscious, like she did to Dan and Drago, to outright brainwashing them, the latter of which she uses ''many,'' '''''many times''''' over the course of the season. She's the one who brainwashed the younger battlers from Bakugan Interspace to act as ChildSoldiers. She later does the same with Ren's old friends, Jake, ''and a large portion of the Gundalian Army.''

*** Jake's time as one of her pawns also bears mentioning. In "Jake Returns", when Jake was revealed to have been brainwashed, Dan and Shun battle him [[BeatTheCurseOutofHim in an attempt to save him.]] This had worked before in Bakugan Interspace. This time, however, it doesn't. What did exactly Kazarina do to Jake while she had him to make her control of him so entrenched?

** Then, in the season finale, "Destiny Revealed", after Barodius and Dharak disobey her word by attempting to seize the Sacred Orb's power after Dan and Drago beat them, [[DoNotTauntCthtulu she punishes them]] by ''seemingly disintegrating them in an instant.'' As Season 4 reveals however, Code Eve's punishments can be [[FateWorseThanDeath far worse than death...]]

** In "The Secret Of The Orb", Code Eve is apparently angered by the 4-way battle between Fabia, Marucho, Ren, and Nurzak. So she unleashes what Fabia calls a "dimensional twister" to consume them. Fabis says that if they were caught in it, they'd be bounced across random dimensions, [[AndIMustScream trapped in drifting across space for all eternity.]]

*** There's also another example of this, only regarding Jake. In "Jake Returns", we're shown a flashback in which she gives a "gift" to Jake: a "Dream Ability" Card of her own making called "Advanced Fusion Ability". This card is apparently capable of doubling or even ''tripling'' the power of all of a Bakugan's abilities. However, it places the Bakugan it's used on in a ''[[AndImustScream "waking nightmare"]]'' state, and risks killing them as a result. That's right, folks; ''Kazarina created her own version'' '''''of the Forbidden Cards!''''' Like the Forbidden Cards, we're given no explanation for how Kazarina managed to create the Advanced Fusion Ability card. We're also shown no other examples of the "Dream Ability" cards she'd have presumably made, and it's likely fortunate that we didn't. Imagine what other surprises she could've unleashed upon Neathia with these cards.

*** The latter part deserves special mentioning. In "Divide And Conquer", in which Nurzak attempts to betray Barodius with Kazarina's help, only to be betrayed by her, Kazarina describes how she intended to "help" Nurzak. Simply put, she used her MindControl abilities on a lot of Gundalian soldiers, but with a delayed effect. Then, at Kazarina's command, all the soldiers would fall under her command. Nurzak hoped that Kazarina would use this to corner Barodius, but his hopes are dashed when, after Nurzak, Barodius, Kazarina, and the soldiers are all gathered together, Kazarina ''simply snaps her fingers''...and the soldiers corner Nurzak, under Kazarina's orders. That's right, Kazarina can plant ''delayed hypnosis'' in people. In other words, anyone that even comes into contact with Kazarina could potentially be a ManchurianAgent that she could set off whenever she wants! It is very fortunate for Barodius that Kazarina was genuinely loyal to him, because if she wanted to rule herself, it wouldn't be very hard for her to do so...

* Kazarina. ''Fucking Kazarina.'' She's the most active of the antagonists in ''Gundalian Invaders'', and one of the worst villains of the Bakugan series as a whole, for lots of reasons.

*** Doubly so for the parents of these children. Remember, at this point in time, Earth as a whole knows full well that Bakugan are real and the world was nearly destroyed as a result of Bakugan battles. Imagine seeing your kid off as they leave to play Bakugan with their friends, and they just...don't come home. Fortunately, Kazarina saw fit to simply spare the children she brainwashed, but it was still entirely possible for her to have just ''killed them all,'' so the horror still stands. And for that matter, the idea of defenseless children in the company of a heartless monster like ''Kazarina'' is...disturbing, to say the least.

** There's also the impace that working on the Alternative has on Professor Clay. By this point, after so many failures and becoming desperate to appease King Zenoheld, Clay begins undergoing SanitySlippage, hungry to complete what he sees as the ultimate weapon. In "Ultimate Weapon", the episode in which the finished Alternative is launched, after the ship create a hole ''in a moon,'' Clay gives a ''chillingly'' giddy laugh and SlasherSmile as he sees the destruction his weapon is capable of.
---> '''Professor Clay:''' That...was merely a warmup. Imagine their faces when we switch to full power.

** FridgeHorror kicks in when one considers the origin of the Alternative. Professor Clay found the schematics for the Alternative in the Phantom Data, and claimed that it was "the ultimate weapon for the Battle Gear". As we learn next season, both the Data ''and'' the Battle Gear come from Gundalia and Neathia. Also, the Gundalian ships used by the Twelve Orders bear an ominous resemblance to the Alternative. It's entirely possible that the Alternative, and similar weapons, could've been ideas that [[MadScientist ''Kazarina'']] had on her drawing board during the war between Gundalia and Neathia. Fortunately, it appears that if that were the case, then it seems she abandoned such projects in favor of others, but the idea of a monster like [[ManipulativeBitch Kazarina]] in possession of a weapon like the Alternative is ''chilling.''

* Death Bombs, the Vexos' answer for dealing with traitors and/or deserters to the organization. Once thrown on the ground, they generate a swirling black hole to another dimension where the victim will be trapped for all eternity.

* Helios' reformation as a Cyborg Bakugan, in an attempt to become the "Ultimate Bakugan". First, there's the fact that he actually ''asks'' Spectra to do it to him, but then there's the way Spectra mentions it, giving the implication that the Vestals were ''already'' prepared to ''turn Bakugan into cyborgs.'' Helios is the only Cyborg Bakugan we ever see, but what would've happened if Professor Clay wanted to make ''more?''

* The end of "Brontes' Betrayal" is as much nightmarish as it is heartbreaking. At the end of the battle and the end of the episode, it's implied both times that Brontes is [[AndIMustScream aware of what Gus has done to him, but can't speak out or do anything about it.]] Then, Gus, having no more use for Brontes, tosses him away, sending him to New Vestroia. Unfortunately for Brontes, at that point in time, the BT System has been rooted into New Vestroia, trapping all Bakugan there, including him, in ball form. So, once more, Brontes is trapped, only now in his tiny ball form, and completely alone. His ''only'' line in this episode, and his ''final'' line in the series as a whole?

*** We finally learn the full extent of the damage done to Brontes in "Brontes' Betrayal", in which Volt battles Gus to try to win back Brontes. Here, we see that while Brontes has evolved, he's also ''devolved'' into a full-on MonsterClown, only able to laugh like crazy as he proceeds to utterly trounce Volt's Boriates. During the battle, both Volt and Gus note that Brontes straining his power like he is runs the risk of killing him, just as the Forbidden Cards threatened to do to Helios and Drago. Gus, just like his master, [[LackOfEmpathy is equally uncaring about this,]] saying that if Brontes grew weak as a result, he'd make him "evolve" ''again!''

*** First up is Spectra's very first line in the episode, which he says after Dan attempts to speak to the now corrupted Drago only for his best friend to attack him. It highlights just how callous Spectra is with the lives of innocent Bakugan.
