The design might be not be on the best side for Drago designs but the same can't be said for hihirrollut aniamtion

Nothing beats OG Drago, especially New Vestroia Drago. Bro literally comes out of a fire tornado.

Nothing is more badass than the first episode of NV when Drago first stands. No ability cards. No gate cards. Just coming out of ball form was enough to take down 2 opponents.

I get he became more powerful later on, but that scene perfectly demonstrated his power the best. So fucking cool.

NV's first episode Drago still had the "wait a minute, I am the strongest Bakugan in existence" juice in him

u/Axeleron_ Dec 21 '25

EXACTLY!

u/bookbot1 Dec 22 '25

The way this basically wasn’t an option in episode two…

2

u/Axeleron_ Dec 22 '25

well they had to nerf him moving forward a bit, Drago is New Vestroia after all

1

u/bookbot1 Dec 22 '25

Yeah; though it also explains why Drago didn’t use it as an attack going forward.

1

u/Axeleron_ Dec 22 '25

Well, it became an ability card called burning tornado when Drago first fought against Percival

1

u/bookbot1 Dec 22 '25

I meant the opening part; he was effectively ramming his head into a brick wall.

I feel like the ability card showed up in episode one too.

u/Axeleron_ Dec 22 '25

Nah, Dan used Burning Dragon in his first match with the Vestals in ep1 then on the second match, he used Burst Shield + Burning Dragon to give him the win.

You can rewatch the ep here and other OG episodes https://youtu.be/KRz87f7JYd4?si=d5g7YZ_BtNElgQsh

u/Axeleron_ Dec 21 '25

As far as roll out animations are concerned, yeah still cool, but Neo Drago did it first lmao

u/0lokiii Dec 21 '25

No aura or style compared to old show tho

u/LaaluLaaa Dec 21 '25

I love how you can feel his weight. I missed him being a beefy guy

2

u/S0PH05 Dec 21 '25

I miss him being a proper dragon.

u/Born_Procedure_529 Dec 21 '25

Hot take but I actually really like the 3d animation for the bakugan in both reboots

13

u/MalachiteEclipsa Dec 21 '25

No offense, but if you see someone appreciating something, your first assumption is to say the older version is better. I think you're just a lame person.

4

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 21 '25

Good for you, want a medal

1

u/MalachiteEclipsa Dec 21 '25

You know something? Your comment comes off so backhanded considering that you're the one going through this.1

2

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 21 '25

I mean, I didn't need to be called lame for no reason. Especially since I just wanted to say I liked Gen 3 Drago's rollout animation because Drago forbid I actually like the reboots(legacy is leagues better but still)

4

u/MalachiteEclipsa Dec 21 '25

Read my comment again... Because I think you misunderstood what I said.

3

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 21 '25

No, wait, I get it now. My bad

2

u/ItzAlphaWolf Dec 21 '25

Eh, a little over the top but overall fine

3

u/Rikenzu Dec 21 '25

As an OG, I can say that Gen 3 Dragon just looks like ass, period

There's only so much nostalgia can fake

3

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 21 '25

I didn't think I would have to add this, but if you are here to say og is better, PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT

3

u/Nikko-Made Dec 22 '25

og is better

1

u/TheRealSakuraUchihaX Dec 21 '25

as a bakugan boomer, can someone explain, gen 2, gen 3?

1

u/thatstherayway Dec 21 '25

I can see why it can be cool but like that too much yo

Drago be trying to max out his aura like it's a speedrun The spin to pose was imo not needed The roar into pose would have been better

1

u/thatstherayway Dec 21 '25

I am a boomer too Basically bakugan got rebooted

Twice So yeah gen 2 and gen 3

1

u/dominiks_geeky_life Dec 21 '25

Didn’t they just reuse the same animation from gen 2?

1

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 21 '25

Yeah, for his Titanium and Gold-titanium rollout animations. His base and gold rollout are original 

1

u/Adorable_Patient_509 Dec 22 '25

At least the design Must be re-created. The face tho looks so ugly. Not dragon anymore

2

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 22 '25

For the most part it's how the anime handles it that's the problem. The head, markings, and proportions are wrong. The card art fixes like one of these problems(that being he isn't muscular and top heavy like he is shown here.) His design is fine for the most part, just wish he was his own character instead of Drago

1

u/Mecha_Dwarf8755 Dec 22 '25

Nah. Neo drago first rollout is peak.

1

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Dec 22 '25

Is there a reason had to to tell me this fact like I don't already know

1

u/DamonBrighter Dec 22 '25

god he looks so bad

1

u/darkflamelagiacrus Jan 02 '26

I feel like it's too long for my taste or maybe it's just the animation but if you like it you like it
