Clash Arc
Baduck appears to be living in a hut near Papnica and used to be the chief soldier. He finds Dai and Popp collapsed in the mountains after their fight against Hyunckel. He watches over the duo as they train to learn Zapple and ranarion. Baduck gives Dai his chainmail to protect himself against Hyunckel's attack, and offers to go to the battle with them, but Popp says it would be better for him to wait outside.
After Hyunckel's defeat Baduck meets with the Dai and Popp, now accompanied by Maam. Baduck fixes Dai's Metal Protector that was damaged by Bloody Scraid and gives him his Chain mail. He takes everyone to get some flares in order to get in contact with with Papnica's retainers.
He keeps watch of the balloon while Dai and the others face Flazzard, before taking everyone to Matoriv's cave.
Matoriv makes a plan to destroy Flazzard's towers, but doesn't agree to participate. The mage gives the job of crafting the two bombs that were to be used.
