Plot

Shun has been battling far more frequently since taking the position of leader of the Brawlers, and it's starting to take its toll on him. However, he is more determined than ever to put a stop to the chaotic battling when Mechtogans are allowed in battles and Shun decides to enter the Battle Royale to stop them. Things get tough when he goes up against Robin from Team Anubias and Soon from Team Sellon, who each uses Bolcanon and Krowll, each equipped with their BakuNanos, Hyper Pulsor and Slicerix. Shun and Taylean fight them but start losing. Shun and Taylean fight on. However, Taylean spawns a Mechtogan called Silent Strike, making things even more complicated. Shun tries his best to defeat it to no avail, and Silent Strike defeats both Bolcanon and Krowll. Shun is then rescued by Rafe and Paige with their Bakugan, Boulderon and Wolfurio. After Silent Strike flees, Rafe and Paige reveal that they are a Neathian and Gundalian, respectively. They tell Shun and Marucho that the Mechtogan are the offspring of chaos when there is a lack of sync between a brawler and their Bakugan. They also say that Princess Fabia has sent them to learn from the Brawlers. Shun however, refuses their help and leaves while Marucho's father asks him to quit the Brawlers, surprising Marucho.

Trivia

• This episode is the first to use a type of battle from Bakugan Battle Brawlers: The Video Game since it had a Battle Royale happening.
• This is also the second episode in all the seasons where something other than a Bakugan appears on the commercial screen (Mechtogan) and the brawlers logo do not appear either. (The first was Fortress trap in New Vestroia)
• Even though Dan was disqualified for using Mechtogan in his battle with Anubias, Sellon, Shun and Anubias weren't disqualified when they used their Mechtogan and instead took the win. This could mean that Interspace's Computer Administration has now allowed Mechtogan to be used with no disqualification.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Rafe, Paige, Wolfurio and Boulderon.
• Marucho's father makes his first appearance since season 1.
• Marucho said "First the BakuNano and now the Mechtogan." Even though Mechtogan came first but he could be talking about how destructive they are.
• This episode confirmed Sellon and Anubias are partnered with Mag Mel.
• This episode also revealed how Anubias and Sellon control their Mechtogan.
• Sellon and Anubias fought against kids hypnotized by Mag Mel that were using Chaos Bakugan. This is strange because they are working for him themselves.
