Center
Primary
The series focuses on apolitical themes such as friendship, teamwork, and responsibility, which are universally accepted values in children's entertainment. It does not explicitly promote a specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, reflecting its international character origins without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on adventure and character development rather than explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The animated series "Bakugan" (specifically the 2018 iteration, "Bakugan: Battle Planet") does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on monster battles and friendships, with no explicit or implicit exploration of queer identity or relationships.
The show primarily features battles between Bakugan creatures, commanded by human Brawlers. Female characters, such as Lia Venegas, participate in these creature battles but do not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents. The series does not depict human-on-human close-quarters fighting.
The 2018 'Bakugan' series, 'Battle Planet,' reintroduces legacy characters like Dan Kouzo and Shun Kazami, who retain their original male genders. Other main characters are new to this iteration, thus no established characters have undergone a gender swap.
The 2018 'Bakugan' series is a reboot featuring a new cast of characters, including Dan Kouzo. These characters are original to this iteration and not direct race-swapped portrayals of established characters from prior 'Bakugan' series.
