When fans can watch Bakugan Legends, and what it is about.
Bakugan, at least in this universe, are little ball-shaped characters that take the form of toys that change into fun, unusual creatures once they are thrown. Bakugan also has an attached card game.
They mimic a host of different figures, and the system of playing is reminiscent of Yu-gi-Oh, Beyblade or others of their kind. Bakugan Legends is no different and sets to expand the lore further.

The story of Bakugan: Legends
The series follows preteen characters Dan Kouzo, Shun Kazami, Wynton Styles, Lia Venegas, and their dog Lightning. They post films on the website ViewTube under the moniker "Amazing Ones" (later "Awesome Brawlers"). They eventually come across a race of combative biomechanical beings known as Bakugan, whom they quickly befriend.
The story takes the form of a shonen-style adventure as the team travels across the world and even universes to fight evil. In Bakugan Legends, Dan and his companions battle Hanoj, the game's ultimate adversary, with their Bakugan and cutting-edge Nova technology in Bakugan: Legends. The Amazing Brawlers are aware that the connection between Earth and Vestroia is about to break, posing a fresh threat.
As the fifth of Bakugan: Battle Planet relaunch, Bakugan Legends is set to act as the final part before the series gets another reboot.
