However, it still feels oddly incorporated into the episode, and there was enough happening for Max to agree to that choice regardless. Additionally, Max has already seen Ben survive many scenarios where he thought he was dead, such as Voided, War of the Worlds: Part 2, Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2, and so on. It feels frivolous that he would easily fall for it again after all this time.
Kickin' Hawk could also work. While he was sampled from Liam, I think the Omnitrix made him the apex of his species by making him look more like a rooster with Liam being more basic chicken looking. I dont know if there's chicken hierarchies, but that's my guess.
Another reason why the Bullfrag twist works at tricking the audience is that the show hardly ever introduces a new alien off screen and has NEVER not shown Ben as a new alien without the other characters knowing it's him before. There is no precedent for Ben to be a new alien in secret from the audience's perspective so for them to do it, it's completely unexpected! Very well done from the creatives of this episode
I think technically Eyeguy was not introduced before his appearance in Secrets of the Omnitrix, and the movie opens up with him already fighting. I mean it's obvious it is Ben as soon as you get a good look at his front, so it's more a technicality.
I like Tetrax Shard and that female vilgax myaxx. Good aliens that work with ben. AlsoShard as a last name? Really. Huh. So yeah i like aliens who arnt ben10 in the show.
@@PharaohTrebilClef I think he first used eyeguy off screen. Then in the movie Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix. Then in the horrid bad finale Ben 10 vs. Negative 10: Part 1. Also if you watch the Omniverse: Creating a New Universe There's Ben's first 10 aliens, cannonbolt, wildvine, Benwolf? (I thought upchuck was the 3rd alien unlocked. You know after unlocking wildvine meeting Max's ex?) anyhow the Halloween trio, upchuck, ditto, eyeguy and waybig. Anyhow officially it's the Benwolf, snareoh and Frankenstrike. Then upchuck. But my brain says upchuck is the 3rd alien unlocked because well. Upchuck is weaker than benwolf.
"Don't blame me, blame this DNA." I laughed the first time, thinking he was flirting with Attea to distract her. Then it was revealed that he was serious..... Then I laughed harder.
I like to think that Attea also knew Bullfrag was Ben. She didn’t seem too surprised during the scene when it’s revealed, and it explains why she lets Bullfrag escape during his debut scene; all according to plan to tear down daddy dearest.
Considering how enamoured she was with him, was probably trying to look up who was the random hunk and keep him around her more to gawk at. Couldn't find him in their database, did some dot connecting and came to the Ben conclusion. She is quite smart, must be if you spend so much time around World Conquerors
She sabotaged Ben's exile pod, knowing he'd make his way back to Earth. She was just waiting for him to show up and get daddy out of the way so she could rule the empire.
I love this episode because it lets us fall in love with bullfrag first, then when we learn it’s a transformation, it lets us all know “yeah, he’ll be back eventually”

I kinda like that the Incurseans aren't defeated but instead remain a looming threat. Makes them feel more dangerous than the usual villains of the week. Plus its understandable that Max would accept Attea's terms: the Plumbers and Ben's team are all either exhausted or too busy sending the Way Bads to the Null Void to fight an entire armada and Max has a responsibility to Earth first and foremost since it's his sector of space to look after. Furthermore, making big moves against the Incurseans is probably something that only the Magistrata can authorise.
Not to say that I wouldn't have liked for that to happen because I prefer more serialized shows it makes the plot flow better because if they make even a portion of it off it upsets the entire season
The Plumbers are also Galactic police, while the Incursean Empire is a political entity. I imagine that "last year's borders" were confirmed by treaties and so the Incursean empire gave up on the expansion for the time being under Attea leadership and nobody can really say no to this, since it would involve more combat to force a new treaty.
I love this arc bc Ben doesn't win and it shows that even someone as overpowered as Ben isn't completely invincible. The frogs outplayed the earth using nothing but strategy which made the stakes actually matter, and even when the earth is saved it's not because of Ben but because attea planned it that way
Can you blame her? I'm pretty sure she's lived her entire life with the only males either being very overweight (and related) with Millious and Zangfroid (the Incursean from Con of Rath), and skinny and emaciated with the Incursean soldiers.
@@ranjanasharan4051 when you're in perpetual warfare, you don't want any guy. You want someone who'll keep up both physically and mentally, on both sides. 😏😏
5:45 is obvious that the reason the purple light dissapear along with the hologram is because the ship itself was shutting down, not because the hologram is the source of the light, probably thats what the hologram was warning in the first place.
My genuine reaction the FIRST time was "Why are you trusting this Frog?" Because the guy with the Quils just betrayed them, and I was so surprised when it was revealed. I don't really like Bullfrag, but most of my appreciation of him comes from this episode. It was so creative. Ever since when I'm rewatching Omniverse, I get excited for this part of story.
Same. But at the same time i was hoping it was Ben, I was feeling so let down that Max agreed to banish Ben like that. I mean he got lucky that Attea sabotaged the ship so he could escape, but what if not? Tbh at first i thought he was going to be a new recurrent character or something like the plumbers kids were. But yea
34:05 And here we have Ben casually killing an entire ship of Incursions directly, we've had Ben let people get killed, but this is directly killing them.
The Incursean arc is done, next stop is Albedo. Bullfrag debut episode. Attea is now the leader of the Incursean empire. 13:19, “There’s a gap up ahead Ben, Chose the alien that will help you clear the jump”
@@orbboom6119 i boutta read so hard between lines, I'm gonna connect dots that have zero connections, I'm finna be all like "guys look at this things which reveals all this about Albedos character, crazy symbolism right" and it's meant to mean genuinely nothing so I can push my Goatbedo agenda
The fact that Princess Attea, leader of the incursion empire, one of the only villains in the entire show to fully completely beat Ben, also cannonically has a huge unhealthy crush on him is so funny to me. And the fact that she is voiced by Tara Strong, the original voice of Ben 10, is just a huge cherry on top.
@@bowserbreaker2515 yes but also it only lasted a few minutes because her dad said it was the wrong move, she would have won if dad went along with it.
Love how the 2 parter start with the randomizer wondering why it even has that feature to life form lock makes complete sense why the omnitrix would have that
I believe the Randomizer is to have the user experience more aliens to be more diverse in the aliens they know and can change into. Ben could easily use this as a form of training for all the aliens he has and can be used to make him more unpredictable because even he wouldn't know who he changed into.
I see randomizer is a F it we ball feature for when you’re bored that can help you think of new alien switching combos for when you’re actually in control and fighting seriously
He did spend an extended period of time as him, so there is likely some bleed over. iirc, that was the point of the time out in the original series, to prevent the user from having their dna scrambled. One would hope that since the Omniverse Omnitrix is the "perfected" version, that's less of an issue. Maybe some lingering feelings/mannerisms.
Also he had to use that accent for a bit too long. Anyone who does a single funny voice with certain people too long is gonna stick with you when talking to them... The code switch gets stuck
@@FizzieWebb I mean I think that also happened when he got his transformations controlled by Luna, Attea, and Nancy. Constantly changing from Rath, Bullfrag, and Four Arms and when he turned back to normal, he was screaming like Rath. Probably another case of messing with the Omnitrix can lead to some hilarious results.
Hmmm. Ok.... how do I use this? There's no on switch. ... *throws into power generator* Well, that seems to have done... something! Time to get outta here!
I never thought aetta and ben would become a actaully relationship but it does add a interesting dynamic that i admittedly kinda like flirting enemies but not actually love interests. Also bullfrag is a chad he could fool me with that sweet talk
I don't like that they kind of went out of their way to get rid of the development that a lot of these characters have in the classic series of either them being redeemed or finding out more of their background only for you to get to this series and then just tell you now they're evil for evil sake or they're trying to get with Ben even though they've shown no interest in him prior
It always felt strange that Ben rarely ever used the Omnitrix to disguise himself and infiltrate or investigate. When he does, it results in a really good storyline
While I didn't get it from the first scene, I do remember going "Bullfrag? that sounds like a name Ben would use for 1 of his aliens... then again, it's not the first time I've had that thought" I think I remember figuring it out before the reveal, (specifically when Gwen said to rescue Grandpa first, and Ben agreed) but that's also essentially right before the reveal so... not sure how much that counts
Bullfrag is a fire alien glad they introduced him to Ben's roster of aliens, i wish he was used more in the show though after his debut he could have become a memorable alien easily with more screentime just like feedback.
Yo this episode made me realize, how tf did Ben live for a month without food or water when he was drifting through space? Did Azmuth pick him up instantly? Or.
He wasn't drifting the whole month. Azmuth must've gotten to him not long after he was banished. Then the plot of the Omniverse 2 Video Game happens, which is essentially Ben going undercover.
@TheInkTank That's what I also thought for the longest time. I think he was rescued by Azmuth a few hours after being launched from space, and since then, he's ingrained himself in the Incursean army as Bullfrag since learning their plans. At least, that's my guess for how.
Gotta tell ya, I really was fooled by Ben's Bullfrag act. Honestly, I thought he was just some rebellious Incursean. Also, episodes like this proves why OV always have the best two-parters.
Incurseans: We have banned you from the Planet, we have Way Bads prepared to destroy your world, you think you'd win? Ben, dialing in Bullfrag: Nah, I'd Frag
I love the twist with Bullfrag. Not only that I love the design and think it perfectly shows the peak species idea of the aliens. Probably just as good as with Kicknhawk. Equally Ben using his alien to flirt with an enemy is a cute touch showing a new idea to an alien that makes sense.
The advantages of having a three-wheeled car is that the back wheel is direct drive, meaning that it has a better throttle response. So yes, there are some advantages to a three-wheeled car. The most famous being the Slingshot and the X-Bow.
It can also be used to register a car as road legal for production. Classifying it as a motorcycle rather then a car for road safety and other requirements.
10:17 this Cars design kinda looks like Hot Rod from Transformers. Derrick just loves hamming in those Transformers References and I for one am all for it
Couple of things from this episode. First, the gang's escape vehicle is colored like Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod, and like every other Transformer reference vehicle, gets obliterated. Second, I like to think that Gwen and Max were able to tell since they were so close to him, they could see his green eyes through the shades. It would add a nice bit of continuity for Gwen to continue to recognize Ben's transformations through the green eyes as she's done on multiple occasions before.
@calvincoolidge5795 he said this a while ago, and I don't know if he's still sticking to it, but he said he's only reviewing the film and The Season 5 specials.
Personally, I'd name an Incursean transformation "WarToad". It's a combo of obviously War and Toad, given how they're frogs that conquer planets, but it's also doubly a pun on Wart, which frogs usually have.
I don't know why but i was able to figure it out almost immediately when I was a kid. The fact that the character appeared out of nowhere made it clear to me that it was Ben and he's so much more jacked than the other frogs.
This episode is so cool I’m glad u pointed out the intricacies of the that chase scene is was so energetic I love it. It’s really interesting to see how the crew handles hiding out and world invasion with all the stress. Even though we don’t see the time pass it still feels like it’s been a long time in this rebellion with how all the characters interact with each other. Bullfrag and the life form lock are great additions to the Omnitrix giving it another unique ability and showing how it can be used for more that just combat. I also love that Gwen almost immediately finds out it’s Ben even without being together for a while she still knows him the best. The Waybig fight and laser scene are so hype especially that drop kick🔥. I think I’d call my incurasean form Toadmander
These 2 episodes were the War of the Worlds for Omniverse. Attea could have more easily persuaded Ben to join her, if she just said, he could come as he is. Clearly, he has a weird, maybe twisted liking for her too. (Though naturally, of course she'd want Bullfrag to be on, 24/7.) And gotta love the Way Bad's expression at 32:52 after being shot by Argit. Probably the animator's favourite one for design/animation. (And a fan favourite for a reason, from all the Way Bads.)
The twist caught me off guard at first because 1. Most new aliens are debuted on screen with some exceptions but 2. Bullfrag was wearing the entire incursean outfit covering any signs of the Omnitrix of Ben's usual alien color scheme and 3. Ben doesn't become species of Aliens he's encountered as antagonists such as the Anur Aliens and Buzzshock often so I never would have thought he would become an incursean. I guess all his Ben mannerisms went over my head along with the obvious smoothie one.
Technically, later in the show, the first Alien Force game is also canonized because of Gorvan, the fat Tetramand. Everyone acts as if they already know who he is when he never made an on-screen appearance in any show beforehand.
Heres my random headcanon thought: one of the reasons Ben isn't allowed Master Control and the purpose of the timeout function is so that alien DNA doesn't overwhelm Ben's own DNA. So, when Ben says, "Don't blame me, it's this DNA," I kinda believe him. Hes been using Incursion DNA for a month, so his body is probably used to Incursion Hormones that are overwriting his own human ones. So, in that moment at least, Ben is probably genuinely attracted to Attta.
@@Robin0928 We could see that in the original series where Ben meets Ben 10,000 as his alienswas acting pretty mean and agressive but when he turned back to his regular self he acting like his regular self and told his younger self that spending time with him made him appreciate being his regular self and he even told him 'believe me you are going to appreciate being ben'.
There was something so sweet about the hug Gwen gives Ben when he de-transforms. And the comments she made until that moment about how "Ben would have loved this" or "that's what Ben would do". She really missed her cousin and this just shows, once again, the long way they have come since Classic.
27:58 He's not talking about his Incursianie DNA.....He's talking about the irresistible urge for a Tennison to rizz up an alien, I know for a fact that Grandpa Max was smiling with pride watching this
Seeing the old Gwen desing in the storyboards, makes me wonder if the original plan was maybe doing something like Adventure Time, where Princess Bubblegum and Marceline change outfits constantly
23:47 I could get someone not picking up on the Bullfrag being Ben thing from the Argit line. Argit's not the most famous, but considering all the grief he's caused, I figure his name would be decently known.
I have to imagine Bullfrag is one of those transformation that changes Ben’s personality when in that form, if he tried to smooth talk Attea like that in Human form there’s no way he’d be that good
23:21 He could have been about to say that he was ben, because he just got hit on the head and had a mild concussion. Then he changed his mind as he woke up.
10:40 I almost spilled the smoothie from my mouth cause he said that lol I think the statues are quite different than irl ones... cause the Statue of Liberty is also made of stone for some reason lol
I love how you can see how much Ben improved since Destroy All Aliens because in that movie he got his ass handed by the Evil Way Big (albeit Retailator didn't help) but here hands the Way Bad her ass in a silver platter and only struggles once multiple get involved. Also nice to see Bullfrag debut episode being so well done cause while he has cool scenes this is it for his relevance.
The Omniverse 2 Game itself might not be good (still wish we had a solid Ben 10 Video Game) but you gotta give them credit for actually expanding on what Ben was doing during the months after the Incursion invasion.
Random idea for a drawing vid: Ben's kids with his other love interests, like what a daughter with Julie would look like, what a son with Attlea would be like, etc.
Considering how long he was an incursean, he probably had more than enough time to fully be influenced by the biology of the species. He is a teenaged male, with peak DNA, and she is the princess and implied to be very attractive for the species. And of course, add the Tennyson Rizz to the mix, and yeah. Bullfrag's flirting is pretty believable.
So when the mutant tokustar takes the head off of the statue of liberty, there's a sound of stone breaking/crumbling and it messes with my head because the starure of liberty is made of COPPER
Kinda wish Kevin recovered that car even if he doesn't use it but just has it. Milleous' saying "Attention Earth nobodies" reminds me of Professor Farmsworth in Futurama saying "Good news everyone." I really like how Kevin & Rook are just bros. Ben got that Frog Rizz. Argit's hero "redemption" arc begins. I didn't catch it at first but then i thought about it for a minute & realized "Wait a minute, Bullfrag is Ben isn't he?" Also something that never comes up again, Ben can disguise the Omnitrix in alien form. Bullfrag is Froggy Balboa or Rocky Bullfrogoa
17:44 arjit is here for one reason; that dude has pissed off the most dangerous beings in the galaxy on a regular basis and is somehow still alive. Bros perfect for a resistance XD
Yo actually, ages ago when I saw that screenshot with Bullfrag and the omnitrix symbol there, I assumed the twist was that he was a plumber, showing a badge lmao
My only problem with this episode was the fact Ben could have just used the Omnitrix to repair any genetic damage done to the Way Bads, but instead just left them mutated and banished to the Null Void, when it wasn’t really their fault. It would have been nice to see some normal To’kustars
I agree. Considering how Phil brings it up, I think OV should have done an episode on how dumping creatures in the null void instead of curing or securing them only makes it more dangerous.
@@Babybigchillthey did actually during the Reuters Ark but at the end of the day it would be very hard to fix their genetic damage when it's not registered as damaged because they were made to be that from birth

@@TheInkTank 25:35, you also misnamed Blukic as Driba here.
Seeing the difference between Bullfrag and the other Incursians, it is very easy to see that the Omnitrix really makes Ben the APEX of the species.

I kinda like that the Incurseans aren't defeated but instead remain a looming threat. Makes them feel more dangerous than the usual villains of the week. Plus its understandable that Max would accept Attea's terms: the Plumbers and Ben's team are all either exhausted or too busy sending the Way Bads to the Null Void to fight an entire armada and Max has a responsibility to Earth first and foremost since it's his sector of space to look after. Furthermore, making big moves against the Incurseans is probably something that only the Magistrata can authorise.
Also it will require a lot of prep time and the rest of the plumbers to interfere
You're basically declaring war on a couple galaxies at once it's going to be a hard fight
I would have loved to have seen her Redemption though
Not to say that I wouldn't have liked for that to happen because I prefer more serialized shows it makes the plot flow better because if they make even a portion of it off it upsets the entire season
The Plumbers are also Galactic police, while the Incursean Empire is a political entity. I imagine that "last year's borders" were confirmed by treaties and so the Incursean empire gave up on the expansion for the time being under Attea leadership and nobody can really say no to this, since it would involve more combat to force a new treaty.
I love this arc bc Ben doesn't win and it shows that even someone as overpowered as Ben isn't completely invincible. The frogs outplayed the earth using nothing but strategy which made the stakes actually matter, and even when the earth is saved it's not because of Ben but because attea planned it that way
I mean Ben did save the day, it just came with making the deal with Attea, like she wanted.
So Bullfrag is the peak of incursions that impressed Princess Attea 😂
Can you blame her? I'm pretty sure she's lived her entire life with the only males either being very overweight (and related) with Millious and Zangfroid (the Incursean from Con of Rath), and skinny and emaciated with the Incursean soldiers.
@@SecretMagician i am sure they all have a nice personality
@@ranjanasharan4051 when you're in perpetual warfare, you don't want any guy. You want someone who'll keep up both physically and mentally, on both sides. 😏😏
@@SecretMagicianfacts Bullfrag is the same build as the guy who stole Ascalon so to him he is legit build like Heracles tbh 😂
@@metaemperor I was thinking the same thing
5:45 is obvious that the reason the purple light dissapear along with the hologram is because the ship itself was shutting down, not because the hologram is the source of the light, probably thats what the hologram was warning in the first place.
Yeah I thought the same when I saw it.
Me too
My genuine reaction the FIRST time was "Why are you trusting this Frog?" Because the guy with the Quils just betrayed them, and I was so surprised when it was revealed. I don't really like Bullfrag, but most of my appreciation of him comes from this episode. It was so creative. Ever since when I'm rewatching Omniverse, I get excited for this part of story.
Same. But at the same time i was hoping it was Ben, I was feeling so let down that Max agreed to banish Ben like that. I mean he got lucky that Attea sabotaged the ship so he could escape, but what if not?
Tbh at first i thought he was going to be a new recurrent character or something like the plumbers kids were. But yea
34:05 And here we have Ben casually killing an entire ship of Incursions directly, we've had Ben let people get killed, but this is directly killing them.
Yeah I doubt Milius bothered giving anyone else instant escape pods even if they could have been launched off screen
Kill or be killed in that scene
I mean it’s not like he ever really had a no kill rule💀
@@valentai_777 Yeah, but it's a general thing that cartoon characters don't kill their villains, or at least it was back then.
34:07 And people say Ben doesn't kill his enemies. He killed everyone on that ship, excluding Milleous, but he didn't know that initially.
In self-defense tho. Shame that doesn't feel remorseful after.
it’s not like ben’s enemies are only trying to incapacitate and rob him
The Incursean arc is done, next stop is Albedo.

Attea is now the leader of the Incursean empire.

The fact that Princess Attea, leader of the incursion empire, one of the only villains in the entire show to fully completely beat Ben, also cannonically has a huge unhealthy crush on him is so funny to me. And the fact that she is voiced by Tara Strong, the original voice of Ben 10, is just a huge cherry on top.
Didn’t Charmcaster kill Ben that one time?
@@axelnilsson5124 Technically, but that lasted only a few minutes.
@@bowserbreaker2515 yes but also it only lasted a few minutes because her dad said it was the wrong move, she would have won if dad went along with it.
And she doesn't really have that much power herself. It was everything she organised
@@paladinmcstark5220 True.
Love how the 2 parter start with the randomizer wondering why it even has that feature to life form lock makes complete sense why the omnitrix would have that
I believe the Randomizer is to have the user experience more aliens to be more diverse in the aliens they know and can change into.
Ben could easily use this as a form of training for all the aliens he has and can be used to make him more unpredictable because even he wouldn't know who he changed into.
I see randomizer is a F it we ball feature for when you’re bored that can help you think of new alien switching combos for when you’re actually in control and fighting seriously
35:10 it's kind of cute that Ben talks in Bullfrag's accent to Attea
The fact that Bullfrag's DNA messes with Ben fits so well. Especially since it happened with Big Chill
He did spend an extended period of time as him, so there is likely some bleed over.
iirc, that was the point of the time out in the original series, to prevent the user from having their dna scrambled. One would hope that since the Omniverse Omnitrix is the "perfected" version, that's less of an issue. Maybe some lingering feelings/mannerisms.
Also he had to use that accent for a bit too long. Anyone who does a single funny voice with certain people too long is gonna stick with you when talking to them... The code switch gets stuck
@@FizzieWebb I mean I think that also happened when he got his transformations controlled by Luna, Attea, and Nancy. Constantly changing from Rath, Bullfrag, and Four Arms and when he turned back to normal, he was screaming like Rath. Probably another case of messing with the Omnitrix can lead to some hilarious results.
Rath is the most obvious alien to changes his personality.
Here we go! The introduction of Bullfrag!

I never thought aetta and ben would become a actaully relationship but it does add a interesting dynamic that i admittedly kinda like flirting enemies but not actually love interests.
Also bullfrag is a chad he could fool me with that sweet talk
Well that would have worked or even him with charmcaster when they were kind of redeeming her most Heroes have at least one evil person in their group
I don't like that they kind of went out of their way to get rid of the development that a lot of these characters have in the classic series of either them being redeemed or finding out more of their background only for you to get to this series and then just tell you now they're evil for evil sake or they're trying to get with Ben even though they've shown no interest in him prior
It always felt strange that Ben rarely ever used the Omnitrix to disguise himself and infiltrate or investigate.
When he does, it results in a really good storyline
Creo que no lo hacía porque no sabía exactamente cómo hacerlo
While I didn't get it from the first scene, I do remember going "Bullfrag? that sounds like a name Ben would use for 1 of his aliens... then again, it's not the first time I've had that thought"
I think I remember figuring it out before the reveal, (specifically when Gwen said to rescue Grandpa first, and Ben agreed) but that's also essentially right before the reveal so... not sure how much that counts
Si muchos nombres de especies de aliens parecen nombres invitados por ben en especial los depredadores
Bullfrag is a fire alien glad they introduced him to Ben's roster of aliens, i wish he was used more in the show though after his debut he could have become a memorable alien easily with more screentime just like feedback.
Yo this episode made me realize, how tf did Ben live for a month without food or water when he was drifting through space? Did Azmuth pick him up instantly? Or.
He wasn't drifting the whole month. Azmuth must've gotten to him not long after he was banished. Then the plot of the Omniverse 2 Video Game happens, which is essentially Ben going undercover.
@TheInkTank That's what I also thought for the longest time. I think he was rescued by Azmuth a few hours after being launched from space, and since then, he's ingrained himself in the Incursean army as Bullfrag since learning their plans. At least, that's my guess for how.
It's stated in the show that Azmuth reached a few hours later.
When kuro forgot about Argit betraying them, I fkn died 😂😂😂
Gotta tell ya, I really was fooled by Ben's Bullfrag act. Honestly, I thought he was just some rebellious Incursean. Also, episodes like this proves why OV always have the best two-parters.
OV does have the best two-parters. They always felt like things actually happened and there was a more consistent level of quality.
Incurseans: We have banned you from the Planet, we have Way Bads prepared to destroy your world, you think you'd win?
Ben, dialing in Bullfrag: Nah, I'd Frag
Ben: also did you really think I wouldn’t come up with a way to beat them

I love the twist with Bullfrag. Not only that I love the design and think it perfectly shows the peak species idea of the aliens. Probably just as good as with Kicknhawk. Equally Ben using his alien to flirt with an enemy is a cute touch showing a new idea to an alien that makes sense.
The advantages of having a three-wheeled car is that the back wheel is direct drive, meaning that it has a better throttle response. So yes, there are some advantages to a three-wheeled car. The most famous being the Slingshot and the X-Bow.
It can also be used to register a car as road legal for production. Classifying it as a motorcycle rather then a car for road safety and other requirements.
10:17 this Cars design kinda looks like Hot Rod from Transformers. Derrick just loves hamming in those Transformers References and I for one am all for it
I just had the same thought! Glad I'm not the only one :D
Is it wrong if I want a Ben 10/Transformers crossover?
@@johnnygyro2295they should've done that instead of that Secret Saturdays crossover!
@@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHSgive Ben an cybertronian transformation and him scanning hmmmmmm Kevin’s car for the alt mode
Im a little late but 10:08 the wheel pattern allows for more downward force on the front allowing better turning over the reverse of that pattern
Couple of things from this episode. First, the gang's escape vehicle is colored like Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod, and like every other Transformer reference vehicle, gets obliterated. Second, I like to think that Gwen and Max were able to tell since they were so close to him, they could see his green eyes through the shades. It would add a nice bit of continuity for Gwen to continue to recognize Ben's transformations through the green eyes as she's done on multiple occasions before.
Derrick J Wyatt never fails to hide sneaky transformers references whenever he can.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 He's competing for the record number of times any creator has killed Optimus Prime.

We’re not even halfway through the series
Personally, I'd name an Incursean transformation "WarToad".
It's a combo of obviously War and Toad, given how they're frogs that conquer planets, but it's also doubly a pun on Wart, which frogs usually have.
That's actually a solid name.
The name is kinda generic and too simple

I don't know why but i was able to figure it out almost immediately when I was a kid. The fact that the character appeared out of nowhere made it clear to me that it was Ben and he's so much more jacked than the other frogs.
So attea's plan was crazy and brilliant she really deserves S Trier villain status
One of the coldest alien forms Ben has ever become 🥶
“Bullfrag is awesome!”
This episode is so cool I’m glad u pointed out the intricacies of the that chase scene is was so energetic I love it. It’s really interesting to see how the crew handles hiding out and world invasion with all the stress. Even though we don’t see the time pass it still feels like it’s been a long time in this rebellion with how all the characters interact with each other. Bullfrag and the life form lock are great additions to the Omnitrix giving it another unique ability and showing how it can be used for more that just combat. I also love that Gwen almost immediately finds out it’s Ben even without being together for a while she still knows him the best. The Waybig fight and laser scene are so hype especially that drop kick🔥. I think I’d call my incurasean form Toadmander
These 2 episodes were the War of the Worlds for Omniverse.
Attea could have more easily persuaded Ben to join her, if she just said, he could come as he is. Clearly, he has a weird, maybe twisted liking for her too.
(Though naturally, of course she'd want Bullfrag to be on, 24/7.)
And gotta love the Way Bad's expression at 32:52 after being shot by Argit. Probably the animator's favourite one for design/animation. (And a fan favourite for a reason, from all the Way Bads.)
I think frog of wars has one of the most unique plots
plots*
The twist caught me off guard at first because 1. Most new aliens are debuted on screen with some exceptions but 2. Bullfrag was wearing the entire incursean outfit covering any signs of the Omnitrix of Ben's usual alien color scheme and 3. Ben doesn't become species of Aliens he's encountered as antagonists such as the Anur Aliens and Buzzshock often so I never would have thought he would become an incursean. I guess all his Ben mannerisms went over my head along with the obvious smoothie one.
I mean hey if you get to go to an alien planet and it had food wouldn’t you want to try it
My ass read it as "The best twink in Ben 10" 💀
Noe that’s a video I would like to see

sooo... Ben..?
Ain't that just Ben ??
Ben is the best twink ever
Wish that was me fr fr
I still find it strange that out of all the arcs, Frogs Of War is the one to get a videogame tie-in.
Technically, later in the show, the first Alien Force game is also canonized because of Gorvan, the fat Tetramand. Everyone acts as if they already know who he is when he never made an on-screen appearance in any show beforehand.
@@SecretMagicianthey canonized Gorvan but not the Alien Force game
The sunglasses on bullfrag are a nice touch.
Heres my random headcanon thought: one of the reasons Ben isn't allowed Master Control and the purpose of the timeout function is so that alien DNA doesn't overwhelm Ben's own DNA.
So, when Ben says, "Don't blame me, it's this DNA," I kinda believe him. Hes been using Incursion DNA for a month, so his body is probably used to Incursion Hormones that are overwriting his own human ones. So, in that moment at least, Ben is probably genuinely attracted to Attta.
@@Robin0928 We could see that in the original series where Ben meets Ben 10,000 as his alienswas acting pretty mean and agressive but when he turned back to his regular self he acting like his regular self and told his younger self that spending time with him made him appreciate being his regular self and he even told him 'believe me you are going to appreciate being ben'.
There was something so sweet about the hug Gwen gives Ben when he de-transforms. And the comments she made until that moment about how "Ben would have loved this" or "that's what Ben would do". She really missed her cousin and this just shows, once again, the long way they have come since Classic.
27:58 He's not talking about his Incursianie DNA.....He's talking about the irresistible urge for a Tennison to rizz up an alien, I know for a fact that Grandpa Max was smiling with pride watching this
19:04 That was the best introduction they gave Bullfrag.
This is the earliest I've ever been to a video
Me too
Seeing the old Gwen desing in the storyboards, makes me wonder if the original plan was maybe doing something like Adventure Time, where Princess Bubblegum and Marceline change outfits constantly
13:53 Hello stranger
Itachi just paying him a visit
WHO IS THAT
The "no thank you?" Part planted the seed, the mr smoothies part is when i realized
Bullfrag RIZZING Athea is goddamn hilarious on my book
And the harem episode still cracks up me lmao just saying
23:47 I could get someone not picking up on the Bullfrag being Ben thing from the Argit line. Argit's not the most famous, but considering all the grief he's caused, I figure his name would be decently known.
I have to imagine Bullfrag is one of those transformation that changes Ben’s personality when in that form, if he tried to smooth talk Attea like that in Human form there’s no way he’d be that good
I wonder if Grandpa Max took it some kind of way when Ben said flirting with alien girls is in his dna-
🎶“If Attea’s bae, don’t blame this DNA! BEN10!!”🎶
Beautiful, no notes.
I love Bullfrag's reveal so much. It's so funny. xDDDDDDDD
27:29 as a kid, that line flew over my head so bad but hearing it again over, the writers was in some 50 shades of grey ahh shit 😅😂
12:32 It's cool seeing this attention to detail the animators put into this chase scene.
This was the first omniverse episode I watched. Made it easy to accept all the changes that have been made and it really got me hooked on the show
Love when Kuro looked away for a sec, vehicle behind Will exploded 7.50
The Bullfrag twist almost gotten me the first time if it wasn't for him asking blukic for a smoothie, that immediatly gave it away.
19:44 Good thing the outfit covers the dial.
23:21
He could have been about to say that he was ben, because he just got hit on the head and had a mild concussion. Then he changed his mind as he woke up.
I like to think he was about to tell but he thought: "Wait, how long can I maintain this disguise?"
@@Eric6761definitely a Ben thing to go like need to keep this up in case
10:40 I almost spilled the smoothie from my mouth cause he said that lol
I think the statues are quite different than irl ones... cause the Statue of Liberty is also made of stone for some reason lol
I love how you can see how much Ben improved since Destroy All Aliens because in that movie he got his ass handed by the Evil Way Big (albeit Retailator didn't help) but here hands the Way Bad her ass in a silver platter and only struggles once multiple get involved.
Also nice to see Bullfrag debut episode being so well done cause while he has cool scenes this is it for his relevance.
Hitting on the frog chick raises a LOT of questions I do not want answers to
Damn it would’ve been cool to see Bullfrag more often over having Humongousaur or Four Arms a dozen times
The Omniverse 2 Game itself might not be good (still wish we had a solid Ben 10 Video Game) but you gotta give them credit for actually expanding on what Ben was doing during the months after the Incursion invasion.
Random idea for a drawing vid: Ben's kids with his other love interests, like what a daughter with Julie would look like, what a son with Attlea would be like, etc.
Now I can't help but think of the Way Bads sculpting the faces of Attea and her father in rocks to place them faces in every monument of humanity XD
8:16 can't have a breakdown, without the Kevin meme.
We haven’t had that since Many Happy Returns though
Considering how long he was an incursean, he probably had more than enough time to fully be influenced by the biology of the species. He is a teenaged male, with peak DNA, and she is the princess and implied to be very attractive for the species. And of course, add the Tennyson Rizz to the mix, and yeah. Bullfrag's flirting is pretty believable.
Finally the best alien of all times, the chad of chad's bullfrag
The "blame this DNA" Joke could also be a Joke about Grandpa Max, who had Alien Partners before. Ben does have 25% of his DNA.
So when the mutant tokustar takes the head off of the statue of liberty, there's a sound of stone breaking/crumbling and it messes with my head because the starure of liberty is made of COPPER
Aaaaaaahdamn.....you're right.😦
Kinda wish Kevin recovered that car even if he doesn't use it but just has it. Milleous' saying "Attention Earth nobodies" reminds me of Professor Farmsworth in Futurama saying "Good news everyone." I really like how Kevin & Rook are just bros. Ben got that Frog Rizz. Argit's hero "redemption" arc begins. I didn't catch it at first but then i thought about it for a minute & realized "Wait a minute, Bullfrag is Ben isn't he?" Also something that never comes up again, Ben can disguise the Omnitrix in alien form. Bullfrag is Froggy Balboa or Rocky Bullfrogoa
17:44 arjit is here for one reason; that dude has pissed off the most dangerous beings in the galaxy on a regular basis and is somehow still alive. Bros perfect for a resistance XD
EXACTLY
As wise alien once said "Ben, I hope you realize..."
...that we don’t have much time before the incursean forces discover us
So Attea's mother was still trapped in stasis and Ben blew up Mileus ship as Way Big...oh shit
We don’t know if she was aboard the flagship
@@axelnilsson5124 I really hope that she wasn't in the flagship.
when I first watched this, I thought Attea smirking when the protags escaped meant she planned for one of them to infiltrate the protag group.
Honestly? Cant think of anything better than Bullfrag.
Also "Blame the dna" my ass, you inherited that alien rizz from your grandpa.
This was one of my Favorite B10 arcs, glad to see it still gets love
Yo actually, ages ago when I saw that screenshot with Bullfrag and the omnitrix symbol there, I assumed the twist was that he was a plumber, showing a badge lmao
AH DAMN! That's actually pretty cool!
My only problem with this episode was the fact Ben could have just used the Omnitrix to repair any genetic damage done to the Way Bads, but instead just left them mutated and banished to the Null Void, when it wasn’t really their fault.
It would have been nice to see some normal To’kustars
Technically, they aren't normal Tokustar's mutated into Way Bads, but genetically engineered mutants made by Psychobos.
I agree. Considering how Phil brings it up, I think OV should have done an episode on how dumping creatures in the null void instead of curing or securing them only makes it more dangerous.
@@Babybigchillthey did actually during the Reuters Ark but at the end of the day it would be very hard to fix their genetic damage when it's not registered as damaged because they were made to be that from birth
My first thought when i saw bulfrag was "is this ben? " but i missed the begining of the episode so that could have an effect
36:58 I mean I agree with Attea not being a love interests for Ben, but I do like the dynamic tension between them.
