Taste of Defeat is the 5th episode of Bakugan: New Vestroia. It aired on June 6, 2009.

Plot[]

With the Vexos losing one by one to the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance, Gus Grav called them all together thanking them for showing up. Lync Volan asks him to cut to the chaise and Mylene Farrow says that Gus must have a good reason. Gus tells them that they all (expect for Spectra) have failed their mission in taking down the Bralwers. This shocks Mylene and Lync and angers Shadow Prove, who calls Gus a freak. Spectra Phantom adds that the Vexos can't lose again to the Brawlers. Lync and Shadow start to argue which gets broken up by Spectra and Mylene. Spectra lets Gus go to fight the Resistance. So, Gus decided to take matters in his own hands, and confront the Resistance to bring pride back to the Vexos. Meanwhile, the Resistance made a stop en route to Alpha City, where Mira Fermin gave Dan Kuso a Bakugan Trap called Scorpion, to help him in his battles. She says that not much is known about the Bakugan Trap, except that they are incapable or unwilling to communicate. Excited, Dan took off to get in some training with Scorpion. Just then Gus showed up (without revealing his identity) and started to mess with Dan's head asking what he will gain from saving the Bakugan, leaving Dan with the question of who he was. He later reports to Spectra telling him Dan is nothing but a child. Spectra tells him not to underestimate him for Dan could be a strong foe. He returned later asking Dan what the answer is to his earlier question, and it was revealed that he is the number two brawler among the Vexos. Feeling confident, Dan decides to take him on, but was soon overwhelmed with the power of Gus' Bakugan Subterra Premo Vulcan and lost. Spectra congratulates Gus on his victory much to the jealousy of the others Vexos. Dan however does not seem upset saying next time he will beat Gus.
