Information[]
Description[]
Balista is a lizard-like creature that shows no mercy during battle. He is evil and enjoys watching other Bakugan suffer. However, he has grueling respect for Worton. Unlike most Aquos Bakugan, Balista uses ice-based attacks instead of water. Out of all the Nonets, he trusted Wiseman the least and wanted to know who he was which led to his death.
Anime[]
Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge[]
Balista first appeared in Evil Arrival, he appeared in the Doom Dimension along with the other Nonet Bakugan, telling the evil Mechtogan, Coredegon, Slycerak, Exostriker, and Mandibor not to doubt Professor Worton (whom he refers to as "all-seeing" and "all-knowing"). They all left for Earth before Worton could tell them about Dan Kuso and Drago.
In Wiseman Cometh, He and the other Nonets were freed from the Doom Dimension by Wiseman after learning that Drago is the descendant of the Original Dragonoid who banished the Nonets. He then fought Drago, Jaakor and Radizen along with other Nonets after arriving on Earth, but he barely battled since he didn't attack any of the Brawlers Bakugan. After Betadron tells the brawlers who the Nonets are, he helped summon the evil Mechtogan and was defeated alongside the other Nonets when they lost control of Mechtavius Destroyer.
In Mysterious Bond and The Prodigal Bakugan, he was seen in ball form.
In Combination Impossible, He tells Wiseman he is ready to battle Marucho Marukura and Radizen. He and Worton later fought against Radizen and Roxtor. He and Radizen fought one on one at first with Balista using Hydro Cannon to Freeze Radizen. The later doges the attack but then Balista uses Bubble rush and Radizen falls for the attack. Radizen then makes a shield but then Worton came to help eventually breaking though Radizen's shield. Balista then froze Radizen in place. Radizen got free and attacked the two Nonets with Luster Drain. They then fused into Volkaos giving Radizen a hard time, but lost when Roxtor joined the fight and formed Betakor.
In Enemy Allies, Balista battled the Brawlers Bakugan (except Skytruss and Orbeum) along with the other Nonets in the park. He, Kodokor, Stronk and Tremblar got attacked by Drago's Dragon Astral. He and the Nonets helped summon the evil Mechtogan and got defeated when Mechtavius Destroyer lost the battle.
In Gunz Blazing, He told the Nonet Bakugan that he didn't trust Wiseman and that he thought that Wiseman was using them. When he asked Worton about it he tells him that Wiseman may be using the card Masquerade once used. Betadron told him that is was thanks to Wiseman that they were free in the first place.
In Battle Suit Bash, He was seen in ball form with the other Nonets listening to Wiseman as he told them that it was for the best that he lost because they now have the Bakugan Battle Suits. Wiseman offered to bring him into battle with the Darkus Nonets, but he refused. This was so he could find out what Wiseman was hiding from the Nonets. After finding a secret door, he discovered Gunz Lazar tangled in vines of some sort believing him to be connected to Wiseman.
In Countdown to Doomsday, He battled the Brawlers Bakugan along with the other Nonets. He then fused into Volkaos and battled Magmafury with help from Tremblar and managed to knockdown their opponent with Blast Burn. He helped summon the evil Mechtogan and was later transported back to Wiseman's headquarters along with the other Nonets when Mechtavius Destroyer defeated Dragonoid Destroyer.
In The Eve of Extermination, Balista wanted to show Worton the secret room where Gunz was located telling Worton that he does not understand why Gunz and Wiseman look the same. Worton then told Balista to forget what he had seen and to focus on the current situation which is defeating the Bralwers. Worton then added that they will revisit this at a later date. After saying that, Worton flew away and didn't see the room. He later battled the Brawlers Bakugan along with the other Nonets in a stadium. He and Worton were hit by Radizen's Slash boomerang. He then helped summon the evil Mechtogan along with the other nonets. While in the cloud he and the nonets chanted for the death of Drago which fulfilled the Mechtogan's powers. He was later defeated when Mechtavius Destroyer lost the battle to Flytris and Thorak as well as the rest of the Brawlers Bakugan.
In Jump to Victory, He, Worton and Wiseman were shown behind a tree watching Runo Misaki train her new partner Aerogon in the woods. When Worton and Wiseman talk about how easy it will be to defeat Runo, Balista loses focus and remembered seeing Gunz and his talk with Worton about forgetting what he saw. He then told Wiseman that he is ready for the battle ahead. Balista then battled Aerogan, Reptak, and Fusion Dragonoid alongside Worton. In round 1 he and Worton start off fighting Drago and Reptak and he uses Switch Blizzard to prevent Drago and Reptak from attacking them. Worton uses Don Tenticale to attack Drago and Reptak causing them major damage. Reptak then used Spar Hook to attack him and Worton, but his ally saved him thanks to hyper Agility blocking Reptaks attacks. Reptak follows Worton in the sky and continues attacking only for Worton to tell him his attacks are fultile and knocks Reptak down. Drago tells Worton he wont get away with this and chaces him up in the sky. But Worton uses Don Tennicle on Drago as well causing him to fall down. Worton then lets Baslita know that they should combine and then combined into Volkaos and won the first round due to their tornado being very powerful, but were defeated by Aerogan and Dragonoid Destroyer's combined attack causing them to lose the fight.
In Enemy Infiltration, his final appearance, he and the rest of the Nonets summoned Slycerak, Mandibor, and Exostriker. When Spatterix asked where Coredegon was Wiseman replied that as leader it will take him a while to be ready which Balista had a hard time believing. Later he tried to find out what Gunz knew about Wiseman, but he was tricked by Wiseman, led into a cave and killed soon after Wiseman showed him his true identity, which was revealed to be Coredegon.
Balista also appeared in several flashbacks in Gunz Lives andBlast From the Past.
