Semi-alternate world

Cartoon Network UK schedule June 2005 (My AU, so fictional)

Premiere of Battle B-Daman
The show is about Yamato Delgado (Daiwa in the Japanese version), who gets the legendary Cobalt Blade. He and his friends use the sport of B-Daman to fight the Shadow Alliance (who wants to take over the world). This show takes place in the B-Da World, a Post-Apocalyptic wasteland where its inhabitants are humans, anthropomorphic animals, and robots. Using the legendary B-Daman, Yamato enters the Winners tournament organized by a group (the JBA in the Japanese version and the IBA (International B-Daman Association) in English version) to become the B-Da Champion. However, he also ends up in fights against the Shadow Alliance.

Yamato Delgado (大輪 ヤマト, Daiwa Yamato)
Voiced by: Reiko Takagi (Japanese); Brian Beacock (Season 1), Tevi Eber (Season 2) (English)
Introduced in season one, 11-year-old Yamato is the main character. Raised by cats until the age of 5, his foster mother did not allow him to own a B-Daman until Cobalt Blade appeared to him one fateful night. Cobalt Blade, supposedly the best B-Daman ever made. But it gets heavily damaged by Cain McDonnell, one of Yamato's enemies. Following its near destruction, Cobalt Blade is rebuilt as Cobalt Saber, the first B-Daman to use the newly developed Blaster Core (also known as Delta core) system by Armada. This new system allowed the very core of the B-Daman to be modified. Yamato's special attack is Cobalt Power Blast, a powerful attack that utilizes the friction of the battlefield. Yamato somehow looks like a cat. He is most likely named after the powerful Japanese battleship Yamato. In the second season of the anime and second half of the manga, Yamato's Strike Shot is the Drive Shot for his new B-Daman called Cobalt Saber Fire, which would later be upgraded to Cobalt Blaster with the Cartridge system and the Stealth Drive Shot until the final episode in which Cobalt Blaster transformed into Cobalt Blaster Drive Cannon with the R.C. system and the Legend Drive Shot. In the manga, Yamato already begun with having a B-Daman named Cobalt Sword which would be upgraded to Cobalt Blade.

Gray started appearing in season 1. He is 12 years old. His Strike Shot is the Speed Shot.
Bull Borgnine (ブル・ボーグナイン, Buru Bōgunain)
Voiced by: Kurumi Mamiya (Japanese); Mona Marshall (English)
Bull has three personalities: The calm and naive side, the confident side and the wild side that appears when he presents his B-Daman. This dark side remains until the end of a B-DaBattle and can enter a berserker state where he's practically invincible. He uses the B-Daman, Helio Breaker which later gets destroyed and he decides to be a B-Daman mechanic. Later on, he creates Helio Berserker and Helio Flyer which is either from the Delta Core or the Roller Core. Bull started appearing in season 1. He is 11 years old. In season one, Bull met a girl. She only likes Bull's hyper-form and when she learnt that the 'calm' Bull is the true Bull, she lost interest in him. She later goes on to like the calm, full of snot, true Bull. In Season 2, Bull meets up with Akyulus and eventually befriends the silent boy. Bull is the first ever friend of Akyulus. Nearing the start of the second Winners Tournament, he makes a decision to be a full-time B-Da Mechanic, vowing to make Revolver Hades, the best B-Daman ever so that Akyulus could use it to defeat Yamato.

He is 10 years old. In Season 2, Terry and Joe decide to enter the Winners Tournament together but along the way, Terry finds a Strike Shot, Random Shot. Joe deems that Terry will not improve with him along so he leaves, only to find Terry following him, not wanting him to go. However, Haja hears of this Strike Shot and attacks Terry for it. The two enter into battle and Haja pretends to admit defeat. Falling for his trick, Haja snatches the Strike Shot from Terry and he shoots. It is originally aimed towards Terry but Joe steps in to protect his brother/pupil. Terry has his blaster destroyed and then gets a new one named HudoFudoMaru and his Strike Shot is the Split Shot.

Voiced by: Naoko Takano (Japanese); Philece Sampler (English)
Yamato's foster mother, she adopted him at the age of five. She is 22 years old. She runs a restaurant called Mie's Café, later on changed to Mie's Cat Cafe. For she is just only one to run her Cafe, she asked Liena, Armada and all the others to help her run her Café.

She thought that was the way in making Armada responsible!

Shadow Alliance
The Shadow Alliance (called simply "Shadow" in Japan) are the main antagonists of Season One with goals of B-DaWorld Domination. Some members of the Shadow Alliance have a 3rd eye which is the symbol of the Shadow Alliance and is a sign that the character is under Marda B.'s control. There are two incarnations of the group: There was the original and the Neo Shadow Alliance. The members of this group are as following:

Marda B.
Voiced by: Paul St. Peter
Marda B. is the main villain of the 1st season who established the Shadow Alliance and Neo Shadow Alliance. Marda B. was a mysterious being who was the greatest B-DaPlayer. He was the first B-DaMaster. He was a good person, but also very competitive. When he asked for an eternal life to remain undefeated forever, he was punished by being turned into a spirit. His competitive side separated from him and became an evil spirit wanting to conquer the B-DaWorld. The good side came to live in a statue that guarded powerful B-DaBalls carrying his own essence, which became known as the B-Energy, the only thing that can defeat the evil Marda B. When Ababa had been depowered by Marda B. after being exposed as a criminal, he started the Neo Shadow Alliance, where all of the members he sent to, attack Yamato and the gang who were innocent B-DaPlayers under his control (with the exception of Enjyu, Biarce, Cain, and Joshua who joined on their own free will). Marda B.'s evil form seems to be one giant flaming eye (which is very similar in appearance to the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings) that always seemed to be floating in the sky. In episode 51, Marda B. fuses with Biarce to form, Marda Biarce, and reveals his plot: He sent the Shadow Alliance after Cobalt Blade, sent the Neo Shadow Alliance to collect B-DaSpirits. and even created Biarce, just so he could culminate his plan to conquer the B-DaWorld by having the ultimate B-DaBattle with Yamato. At the end of the final episode of season 1, his full good form is revealed a seemingly huge gray cat wearing in a white topki.
Ababa
Voiced by: Steven Blum
An evil cat who worked for Marda B with the ability to brainwash people. He even managed to brainwash Bull. Ababa was the leader of the Shadow Alliance, which consisted of major characters like Gray, Enjyu, Wen, and Li. When depowered by Marda B, he is turned back into his original form, a purple cat with long hair. He makes a small cameo with the rest of the crowd, after Yamato and his friends return from defeating the Neo Shadow Alliance.
Enjyu (炎呪, Enju)
Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (Japanese); Steve Staley (Season 1), James Keller (Season 2) (English)
Enjyu used to be a talented kid who wished to improve his skills more as a B-Daman player. His father, however wanted him to take a dive on each of his battles so his dad could pay for their rent. Before each battle, Enjyu's opponents would pay him to lose the match, making them look skilled and Enjyu, an amateur. Fed up of his life, Enjyu joined the Junior B-Daman Tournament. There he was disqualified after unfairly being accused of cheating due to his refusal to repeat his past life. After being betrayed by his only "friend", Enjyu took out his anger on his father in a B-DaBattle. As soon as the battle commenced, Enjyu's personality and hair changed from blue to red. The reason of why his hair changed color is uncertain. After the battle, Enjyu joined the Shadow Alliance where he later received Lightning Kahn (Bloody Kaiser in the original version), the brother of Cobalt Blade, as his new B-Daman. Later in the series, Lightning Kahn was upgraded to Blazing Kahn by Marda B. and later in season 2 is upgraded once more into Variable Kaiser (Hasbro never released a Cartridge System version, so the name remains unchanged), in order to defeat Yamato in the finals. However, instead of defeating him, Enjyu saved Yamato's life and quickly be-friended him. He later rejoined the Neo Shadow Alliance so that he could have fought Marda B. to avenge his new "friends". At the end of season 1, Marda B. brainwashes Enjyu, and Terry used his part of the B-Energy to set him free, but Enjyu wasn't happy about that. He was angry because he felt as if Terry wasted his B-Energy, which he could use to save the world, to save him. Although, Terry reasoned that he was his friend and he figured out, with the help of Joe, that it was the morally correct choice. The name is romanized as Enjyu in the English versions and Enju in the Japanese websites.[1] In Fire Spirits, he obtained his own Strike Shot called the Black Drive Shot from a boy that live at the icy mountain.
Wen Yong Fa (ウェン・ユンファ, Wen Yonfa)
Voiced by: Brad MacDonald
He is the older of the Yong Fa brothers. He joined the Shadow Alliance at a young age to become a stronger B-DaPlayer. Wen is often blunt and stubborn but also open-hearted and loyal to those he cares about. He and Li first appeared to fight Yamato in a B-DaBattle following Battle Crow's defeat. He uses the B-Daman, Bakuso which was later upgraded to King Bakuso by Bull, then finally to Suiseiryu by Bears and Armada. He changed his ways and left the Shadow Alliance after Yamato helped him in a battle against Enjyu. After Wen left, he continued to help Yamato and the gang, often under Armada's direction. He sometimes wore a mask and cape. When his younger brother, Li Yong Fa, joined the Neo Shadow Alliance to infiltrate Neo Shadow Alliance, he traveled with Yamato and his friends. Unfortunately, Li was not accepted into the alliance, and was made a puppet to Marda B. He eventually fought Li and brought him back to normal. The brothers have not separated since. His Strike Shot is the Metal Spike Shot.
Li Yong Fa (リー・ユンファ, Rii Yonfa)

Li and Wen first appeared to fight Yamato in a B-DaBattle following Battle Crow's defeat. He and his older brother have been helping Yamato after they left the Shadow Alliance. Later in the series, Enjyu begged Li to help him defeat Marda B. Like Enjyu, Li pretended to work for the Neo Shadow Alliance in order to find Marda B.'s weakness. But certain members did not trust Li's loyalties towards the Neo Shadow Alliance so Marda B. claimed Li's mind, giving Li the third eye and erasing all his past memories. Later, Wen tried to save his brother through a B-Dabattle. Luckily, Wen won and returned Li to his normal self.

Wow, May’s lineup looks intense! I just heard that Storm Hawks and Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes are premiering this month. Plus, new Ben 10 episodes too! It’s like CN UK is stepping up big time. Anyone else excited?

User: CartoonFanatic
May 1, 2007 - 10:45 AM
Absolutely! I’m especially hyped for Storm Hawks. The art style and story look fresh. And FF: WGH - that’s a classic reimagined, can’t wait. Ben 10 has been killing it lately, so new episodes mean more transformations and alien battles. May 2007 might just be one of the best months in recent CN history.

Heads up, everyone! From May 24, CN UK will be rolling out a brand new presentation style called the Arrow era. This includes the new logo bumpers and some pretty funny idents that end with the CN logo forming in creative ways. Saw a sneak peek of the dentist one – it’s hilarious how the teeth fix and become the logo.

User: PixelPundit
May 13, 2007 - 9:11 PM
Yeah, the new idents look really fun and creative! Here’s a quick rundown of the ones I’ve seen or heard about:

Dentist fixing broken teeth turning into the CN logo
Jack in the Box with creatures popping out and messing up to form the logo
Bunnies hitting themselves with a mallet until they morph into the logo
Parachuting daredevils with a comical twist on landing
Fighting mech robots (Transformers style) that form the logo
And so many more like the Moon planter getting the logo, two jets flying past a cliff carving, monkeys bouncing on inflating balloons…
It’s a nice fresh vibe, kinda playful but slick at the same time.

Also, Toonami UK is switching over to CN Too starting May 24! That’s a big rebrand for the sister channel. They’re trying to unify their brand presence here, apparently. Exciting stuff for the UK CN community.

Really hoping the new CN look sticks long-term. Cartoon Network has needed a more modern vibe for years. And with shows like Battle B-Daman already having a solid following, the added energy from these premieres should be great.

OMG! Storm Hawks just aired!!! First episode was amazing – the world, the characters, the action – top notch! Also caught the new FF: WGH ep and the Ben 10 latest, and CN Too is looking great with its new direction. May IS one hell of a month, as the thread title says!

Couldn’t agree more! May 2007 feels like a new era for CN UK. The Arrow-era idents are fun, the line-up is killer, and the new shows are so refreshing. Honestly, can’t wait to see what’s next.

Hey all! Summer’s here and Cartoon Network UK’s lineup has been pretty amazing lately. What do you guys think the top 5 shows this summer are so far? Here’s my list:

Storm Hawks – The action and world-building are on point. Plus, those aerial battles are incredible!
Ben 10 – Classic yet still super engaging, especially with the new episodes airing.
Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes – Love this fresh take on Marvel’s heroes, nicely done for kids and fans alike.
Battle B-Daman – The mix of post-apocalyptic vibes with epic battles is surprisingly addictive.
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy – Dark humor never gets old. Still hilarious as always.
What about you guys? Anyone disagree or have some surprises to add?

Great list! I’d add Xiaolin Showdown to the top 5. The mystical martial arts and fast-paced action totally keep me hooked. Maybe swap it with Battle B-Daman for me, but they’re both solid. Also, Ed, Edd n Eddy is classic summer fun for chill mornings.

I totally agree with Storm Hawks being #1. And Fantastic Four deserves props too – it’s not just another superhero cartoon, it’s smart and fun. Also, can’t forget Atomic Betty; it’s growing on me with all the space adventures.

User: CartoonFanatic

For me, the top 5 this summer are:

Storm Hawks
Ben 10
Xiaolin Showdown
Fantastic Four: WGH
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Foster’s is always a comfort watch, and with all these new shows dropping, can’t get enough!

User: B-DaMaster22

Battle B-Daman in the top 5, please! It’s doing great on CN UK, and the tournament arcs are super intense. Plus, the character development with Yamato and the gang is surprisingly deep for a “kids’ show.” I think it deserves more attention.

User: SummerCartoonFan

Nice! Seems like Storm Hawks, Ben 10, Fantastic Four and Xiaolin Showdown are definitely the summer’s heavy hitters. Glad to see Battle B-Daman getting love too. Looks like Cartoon Network UK has a really strong summer lineup!

Write a conversation where a user jokingly says "After running away from this show for months, from January to June and again from August to May 2007, CN realized, the money really does talk". and the toy sales forced their hand..... HARD, Not that I'm complaining, It's a fun show, and fun to see it back from break coupled with the new shows makes for a good era, Shame about Skatoony ending though

Haha, I gotta say… after running away from this show for months—like from January to June and again from August to May 2007—Cartoon Network finally realized the money really does talk. The toy sales forced their hand….. HARD. 😆

Not that I’m complaining though! Battle B-Daman turned out to be a surprisingly fun show, and seeing it back after such a break, paired with all these new premieres, really makes this era shine. It’s like CN UK finally woke up and said, “Okay, maybe this show does have some legs.”

Still, shame about Skatoony ending. That was a weird little gem that deserved way better treatment. But hey, at least the lineup’s looking solid now. Here’s hoping CN keeps the momentum going!

Write a forum conversation asking if the show returned on May 26 (when the premieres began) or slap bang on May 24
