Description
Pharol is a sphinx-like Aurelus Bakugan introduced in the second season of the anime, Bakugan: Armored Alliance. He serves as the partner Bakugan of Ajit for most of the series, appearing alongside him from his debut onward. A golden Bakugan belonging to the Aurelus faction, Pharol stands out among other Bakugan because of his color and the considerable power associated with his kind.
In terms of background, Pharol first appears when he and Ajit arrive seeking out Dan Kouzo. He interrupts a tournament and easily defeats China Riot, immediately establishing himself as a formidable battler. Because he is a Golden Bakugan, he is understood to be exceptionally powerful, and his presence surprises the other main characters, who have not encountered a Bakugan like him before. His partnership with Ajit continues through the events of Armored Alliance and into later seasons, although during the Geogan Rising era he is temporarily replaced as Ajit's partner by Pincitaur.
Personality-wise, Pharol carries himself with a sense of royalty and nobility, a trait common among Aurelus Bakugan. He has a calm and patient demeanor and remains composed in virtually any situation. He is also an extremely strong Bakugan who is fiercely loyal to his brawler, Ajit, and that loyalty defines much of his behavior in battle and in his interactions with others.
Pharol's motivations are closely tied to those of Ajit. As a loyal partner, he supports Ajit's goals, including his early desire to challenge Dan Kouzo and prove himself as a brawler. When Ajit is first learning how to participate in formal Bakugan battles, Pharol battles alongside him and helps him hold his own against more experienced opponents. Over time, their partnership deepens as they fight together alongside the Awesome Brawlers against greater threats, and Pharol remains a dependable force in those conflicts.
His key relationships include his bond with Ajit, which is the central partnership of his character. He also develops a notable dynamic with Dan Kouzo and his partner Dragonoid, beginning as a rival and eventually becoming a comrade in arms. Through his association with Ajit, he becomes connected to the wider group of heroic brawlers.
In terms of development, Pharol grows alongside Ajit as they gain more battle experience and unlock new forms. He is depicted in several evolved and fused forms over the course of the series, including Neo Pharol, Genesis Pharol, and Nova Pharol, as well as a fusion with Gillator known as Pharol X Pyrus. One of his notable abilities in that fused form is Power Absorb, which allows him to draw power from an opponent's attacks and use it to increase his own power level. In his standard form he also uses Baku-Gear such as Silent Spears, and his fusion with Pyrus Gillator is paired with the Aurelian Accelerator, further enhancing his combat capabilities. These abilities, combined with his natural strength as a Golden Bakugan, make him one of the more powerful Bakugan featured in the series.
