I thought it would be interesting to make a thread where people can use their imagination in "what if" scenarios for the Bakugan anime, the plots on this site, and even situations involving anyone on this site. Each person that posts will have to answer the hypothetical the previous person gave, and then they would have to come up with one of their own for the next person to answer. I'll start off.
What if Masquerade ever encountered Nero (with Hydranoid) and brawled him. Who would win and why?

Nero would win for sure. If Insidious taught us anything that would be how OP Nero really is. That he is able to battle all Resistors at once with one Bakugan and survive shows how strong he is. So, in a battle one-on-one even with Masquerade I guarantee he would win.
Here comes a long one What if all Bakugan anime seasons kept all the mechanics of Season 1? So, no single Gate, no SWs, no mechanic Bakugans. And they keep some cool brawlers from SS1 in the core of future anime plots? Would it be better than the system that is actually in power? Why yes, why not?

Spin Master really started going away from that battle style once Masquerade's identity was discovered. I also felt like the addition of the Fifth Paladin was a precursor to all future support weapons. With that said, I believe they would have eventually added all of that stuff to the formula if they had kept brawling like that. I don't like the idea of having those things introduced to the season 1 brawling style since it already had a lot of bs in it (Joker's Wild), and New Vestroia made them more manageable. For that reason, I would have to say it wouldn't be better than what is currently in power. They would have to really be creative to innovate with that system without the overall balance being taken for a wild ride. Plus...I believe battles were more entertaining in New Vestroia than the old system.
I think this question is appropriate since you just asked that. What if BakuTech's episodes were longer and not have transitioned to a table-top game? Would it have been an abomination like it is now?

I know a little about BakuTech and from what I know, it is truly an abomination. It would have been better if they maintained the mechanics of Season 1-4. BakuTech is way inferior in every aspect. So yeah, it would be better if it has longer episodes and isn't a table top game. I guess the producers ran out of ideas.
Here's mine: what if Titanium Dragonoid brawled Bane Dragonoid?

Well I could say it could go in a tie. Considering what all crap was added through the Bakugan anime it wouldn't be a big wonder to me if Titanium defeated Bane. Still, Bane Dragonoid at his base has power of 1000 and it is already proven to be able to defeat super-fortress Bakugan like Shatter Gorem. Then I would give him an advantage in that point. So, Bane would probably win, but it doesn't necessarily mean he will.
What if Noland and/or Daniel brawled against Dan (anime) and/or Spectra. Who would win?

Noland/Daniel vs Dan could go either way, for all the reasons why Titanium vs Bane would be a tie. But vs Spectra? Spectra has almost never defeated an opponent of equal strength on his own because of his lust for power. Noland and daniel could put Spectra down.
What if at the end of season one, all of the brawlers went up in a six man, free for all brawl. Who would come out on top?

Dan would be the obvious winner. At the end of season 1, Dan had possession of Perfect Dragonoid. All of the other five Battle Brawlers could not do a thing to Naga when he had the Silent Core. There's no possible way they could stand up to Drago with the full power of the Perfect Core in his hands.
Here's a very interesting one. What if Alana battled Karen? Who would win and why?

Several episodes taught us something. Alana can defeat Allen (I think I read that one). And as we know Noland needed to go 100% to defeat Allen's Gorem in that tourney. And Noland didn't need to use full power to defeat Karen when he did. From what I have learned Drago's attack is almost equal to Gorem's defense. So, they're practically equal in power. And Alana defeated Allen which proves she can be more powerful than him. Since Allen is almost strong as Noland he can defeat Karen. And Alana can defeat Allen which further means she can defeat Karen. Bonus thought. Noland defeated Karen with ease. While he fought Alana in his dream he needed a hell lot of power to defeat her. Even though he didn't use Drago against Alana I mean it's still close enough to prove it. This tired me out. Hate to make calculations in English. What if Alana, Vince and Noland's previous Bakugan (can't search for name ) never actually got pulled into Doom Dimension (I think they did since Noland remembers alien king using a head with a skull)?

Looks like someone misses me. In the event that what happened in the Prologue happened differently, what happens in Insidious could be different. Noland would have kept Krakix. Whether he would reach identical power to where he is now with Drago is very debatable (I don't think he would have). Noland wouldn't have that same conviction to fight another war with the Terrorists, and he also wouldn't know how to stop Tank in his rampage after Belphenoid killed his friend. Alana could have very well been chosen on Markus' team over Karen, which could have potentially meant that Markus would have been the winner in the championship. In fact, the conflict with Karen would have never happened if Alana was still there to keep Noland in check. I also believe Vince would have been the main hero instead of Noland. What if Allen was the one that got taken away instead of Alana?

Honestly, it could be better that way. Since she is (was) Noland's girlfriend if she remained safe it would be better since he had deeper feelings for her. Since Vince goes bye-bye anyway only changeable variable is the position of either Allen or Alana. If he had someone like Alana at the time when would lose father and his best friend he probably wouldn't make some of stupid things he had done previously (threw Drago in the river). There would be someone who he cared about the most and that someone would prevent him from acting the way he did and would help him to overcome his pain easier. It would make a great impact to lose the best friend, but I don't actually see any way how Allen helped Noland overcome anything in the whole story. If Alana was the one to stay she wouldn't just keep standing, but would surely be stubborn in intention to help Noland get his mind off things. (No hard feelings Allen ) What if there was no Karen in the plot? ( I wish... )

I like drama. That's why Karen is in the plot. If she wasn't there, then a large part of this season would be severely underwhelming. I'm sure you would think differently of a plot if a certain character gets removed because it wouldn't have the same feel (obviously). Every character has their purpose. Even the minor ones like Kendrick plays a role.
What if you were me for a day and had the choice to decide how Insidious would end. What would be your ending?
