About Bakugan
Bakugan follows kids who partner with transforming sphere creatures to battle across dimensions. The franchise spans three separate continuities, so this guide keeps each generation together in release order.
Good to know
Release order matches story order inside each generation, but the original saga, Battle Planet and the 2023 reboot are separate continuities. A live action film was reported in development in 2025 with no release date yet, so it is not listed as an entry.
