## Trivia

* Lightning is the first ever animal & non-human brawler to use Bakugan. (Not counting the alien Brawlers, as they were humanoid.)
* Lightning looked as though he was holding either a Darkus, Pyrus, Aquos, Haos, Ventus or Subterra Bakugan, misleading many that he would be a Brawler of either Dextra Attributes.
* Lightning speaks in Episode 17 with only the viewer and his Bakugan being able to understand what he is saying.
* In Episode 82 that mentioned that he is almost 1 year old.
