Dan and Drago, The Final Takedown

Salamander (サラマンダー, Saramandaa?), also known by the nickname Drago (ドラゴ, Dorago?), is Dan Kuso's Guardian Bakugan and the Bakugan main protagonist of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers anime series. He serves as a battle partner, a guardian, and a source of wisdom and inspiration. Although he is impatient and a pacifist, he wants to help Dan protect Earth and Vestroia. He is the direct descendant of the Genesis Dragonoid, one of the two first Bakugan ever created by Code Eve.

Personality

In Vestroia, it has been mentioned by Storm Skyress that Drago used to be very ferocious. He may also have been slightly bigoted towards non-Pyrus Bakugan, as he initially demanded Naga and Wavern to leave Pyrus world for not being Pyrus Bakugan, until he fell in love with the latter. However, being with Dan has calmed his temper and matured him. He is still sometimes impatient and hot-tempered like his partner; as he oftentimes becomes annoyed with Dan, although they always make up. At first, he was generally hostile towards Dan, refusing to take orders from a human. Over the course of the first season, he and Dan gradually built up their friendship and by the season's end, the two had become close friends. When Drago was concerned after being sent to the Doom Dimension, the sight of Dan, whom went in after him, brought happiness and relief to the Dragonoid. Shun notes that after having spent so much time with Dan, he has picked up some of Dan's behavior, such as directly attacking the opponent rather than taking a stealthy approach.

Drago's personality reflects that of an honorable knight; he has a strong sense of justice, never allows anyone to get away with their evil deeds, is fully committed to the greater good, and holds high regard for honor and justice. He has, on more than one occasion, been willing to sacrifice his own life to save the lives of others, or for the greater good, Bakugan or any other race alike. He also is shown to be rather brave, rarely being afraid in the face of danger and rarely shows any distress or panic in any situation. While he is willing to fight to protect the innocent and for sport, he usually dislikes fighting on the spur of the moment and when it is for someone's own selfish or crude intentions, which he regards as meaningless. When first coming to Earth, he implored a Darkus Fear Ripper and Ventus Falconeer to stop fighting him to no avail, showcasing his pacifistic nature.

Wavern and Drago are in love and have been seeing each other since they met, and he promises to allow her to visit the other world, a wish he eventually grants. Wavern also has a tendency to call Drago by the pet name of "Dragoruny" (or Salamander in Japanese). When he was forced to kill her (on her command) to save her from Naga, he was devastated and vowed not to forgive Naga for his actions. Despite her death in the first season, Drago continues to love her and her soul still remains with him within the Infinity Core to guide him when he doubts himself.

Drago has a deep disdain for Bakugan who are driven by their hunger for power to the point of madness, such as Reaper, Naga, Dharak/Razenoid, Viper Helios the Nonet Bakugan and Hydranoid. That being said he does try to make evil Bakugan see the error of there ways such as when he told Helios that using the Forbidden Ability Cards are dangerous, or when he told Gliderak that Wiseman is just using him. He befriended Hydranoid, Helios MK2, Betadron, and Worton after they joined the Battle Brawlers, showing he can forgive evil beings if they genuinely reform.

Dragonoid

In Bakugan form, he has a wyvern-like body, has clawed wings and feet, a long neck, slender body, and a long, sharp horn on the end of the snout. He has small spikes along his back.

A young Dragonoid, nicknamed Drago, is the leader of the Bakugan, with strong convictions and morals, and is one of the most powerful Bakugan living in Vestroia. He has the ability to radiate extreme heat from his body in battle dissolving everything around him and is equipped with high-level intelligence. He is limited in battle mobility but compensates for it through powerful finishers. In Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders, it was revealed that Dragonoid was one of the first Bakugan born and Drago is the current descendant of the original Genesis Dragonoid.

Delta Dragonoid

Like all Bakugan, Drago has the power to evolve. As Delta Dragonoid, his horn faces forward with smaller horns on his face giving a cobra-like look, and a grey crest on his chest. He also received a power boost, increasing from 400 Gs to 450 Gs. His new attacks include the Ability Card D-Strike (which increases his power level by 200 G) and he gains a Fusion Ability called D-Strike Extreme. He evolved into this during Dan's battle with Julio Santana, Chan Lee and Klaus von Hertzon. During this battle, Drago became encased in a giant rock with cooled and flowing magma inside.

Trivia

  • Drago only evolved through battle experience three times: into Delta Dragonoid, Ultimate Dragonoid, and Fusion Dragonoid. All the other evolutions were because of him getting various sources such as energy, gift, or a core as shown below:
  • Drago is the first Bakugan to have a known mate.
  • All of Drago's Battle Gear were Silver, except Sonicanon, which is a Gold-attributed attachment for Drago.
  • Dragonoid Colossus stated that those with the Ultimate Warrior Gene were the most powerful Bakugan of all.
  • In every season except New Vestroia, his main rival has been a Darkus Bakugan.
  • His evolution name (or base form), such as Neo or Helix, had something to do with the season it was in.
    • Dragonoid - original season
    • Neo Dragonoid - New Vestroia; "Neo" means "New" in Latin.
    • Helix Dragonoid - Gundalian Invaders; the double helix is the shape of DNA, and it was the first season where they introduced DNA codes.
    • Titanium Dragonoid - Mechtanium Surge Arc 1; all Bakugan are now partially metallic.
    • Fusion Dragonoid - Mechtanium Surge Arc 2; relates to the Baku Sky Raiders and BakuFusion.
  • Drago is the only Bakugan to evolve more than three times.
  • In every one of his evolutions, Drago's horn gets longer or grows an extra part; also, in every one of his evolutions, he gains or loses a horn.
  • If you look closely at Ultimate, Infinity and Perfect Dragonoid's wings, you can see the Pyrus symbol near his wingtips.
  • Cross Dragonoid and Helix Dragonoid are his only evolutions that have three defense Abilities, although Helix Dragonoid's Spinning Wall can be used for both offensive and defensive techniques.
  • Titanium Dragonoid's Dragon Force Striker is similar to Blitz Dragonoid's Spire Dragon in appearance.
  • Like Silent Naga, Infinity Dragonoid has lines or markings traveling from the diamond on his chest (veins in Silent Naga's case).
  • Drago hasn't used a Perfect Core Ability Card since Bakugan: New Vestroia. However, whenever Fusion Dragonoid uses Dragon Eternal Force, his Perfect Core diamond glows. The reason for this is because when Dan and the others freed New Vestroia by destroying the dimension controllers, when Dan and the others were leaving, Apollonir said that Drago has grown as stronger as the Perfect Core. With his evolutions, he didn't need the abilities granted to him by the Perfect Core because he outgrew them by that point.
  • The number of episodes spent in each form is:
    • Dragonoid: 22 episodes (BB01-BB22)
    • Delta Dragonoid: 16 episodes (BB22-BB37)
    • Ultimate Dragonoid: 15 episodes (BB37-BB51)
    • Infinity Dragonoid: 2 episodes (BB51-BB52)
    • Perfect Dragonoid: 1 episode (BB52) (record shortest)*
      • Status as separate from Infinity Dragonoid is debatable.
    • Neo Dragonoid: 27 episodes (NV01-NV27) (record longest-tied with Titanium Dragonoid)
    • Cross Dragonoid: 16 episodes (NV27-NV42)
    • Helix Dragonoid: 24 episodes (NV42-GI12)
    • Lumino Dragonoid: 18 episodes (GI12-GI29)
    • Blitz Dragonoid: 10 episodes (GI29-GI39)
    • Titanium Dragonoid: 27 episodes (GI39-MS26) (record longest-tied with Neo Dragonoid)
    • Fusion Dragonoid: 20 episodes (MS26-MS46) (final evolution)
  • His evolutions Helix Dragonoid, Lumino Dragonoid, Blitz Dragonoid, and Titanium Dragonoid have an ability that augments his speed. He only started using the Hammer Ability from Helix Dragonoid and his subsequent evolutions. This may be because of his slender, more humanoid shape makes it easier to move faster.
    • Fusion Dragonoid's Dragon Spur may have effects similar to those of the Hammer abilities.
  • He is the second Bakugan that has been able to defeat a Mechtogan alone.
  • Although Drago and Tigrerra said that Bakugan who absorb too much power are destroyed, Drago has evolved eleven times and never showed signs of being close to hitting that limit. This is likely because of Drago's Ultimate Warrior Gene, which has caused him to become the most powerful Bakugan in all of reality.
  • Drago's Japanese voice actor, Keiji Fujiwara, passed away in April 12, 2020.
