Wakfu/Tropes A-L

Tropes A-L | Tropes M-Z

No wonder. "Rushu: The gods are too weak for me to worry about them, you little worm! And it's the same for you: you're just a shadow of your former self! Goultard: Which is still more than enough to sent you back from where you're coming. With your slip as handkerchief to wipe out your own tears."
 * Abhorrent Admirer: All four ugly princesses, to Sadlygrove, in episode 4.
 * Abnormal Ammo
 * Evangelyne's arrows can create rain if shot at a cloud.
 * The Black Raven has the ability to shoot bird eggs that hatch in mid-air and become Raven Rounds. And that's pretty much par for the course -- shooting ravens is actually a power of the Black Raven's race/class from the game (Osamodas' Whip): the spell "Crow" (in Dofus) and "Crobak" (in Wakfu).
 * Acrofatic
 * The Dragon-Pig
 * The Mmmmmmmmmporpg

 * Alien Invasion: Revealed to be in season 2 episode 6.
 * All Just a Dream: Thank. Crâ.

 * Ambadassador: Master Joris
 * Amplifier Artifact
 * The Eliacube. Nox planned to use it to boost his time-manipulation powers and travel back 200 years. The prequel episode "Noximilien" reveals that . And as of season 2:

 * So do the Sadida warriors in episode 19.
 * Angry Guard Dog: Ruel's house has one. Doesn't look like much... until it grows.
 * Animal-Eared Headband
 * The Eliatropes' hats resemble this.
 * All the cheerleaders (including Eva and Amalia) in the Bontarian Gobbowl arc wear bunny-eared headbands.
 * The Anime of the Game: A Western Animation example, though the Wakfu universe is technically cross-media. Subverted somewhat in that the game was originally supposed to be released in early 2009, before the series started, but it wasn't released until 2012). The game is also explicitly set a decade or so before the series. (Yugo's adoptive father Alibert is one of the few NPCs in the game, and Yugo is upstairs in his house as an infant.)
 * Animesque: With some Fan Service thrown in for good measure.
 * Annoying Arrows: Averted; the arrows made of pure light that Evangelyne and other Crâ shoot are quite deadly. It's a shame about their aim.

 * Also, a minor one in episode 12 ("Gobbowl Hell 3"), with an artist making a very stylized painting of the heroes.
 * During the brawl in episode 19, there's a few shots who clearly mimics the style of Street Fighter IV art.
 * The specials, like The Legend of Ogrest, are in a different art style than the main series.
 * Asteroids Monster: Mocked during the season 1 Title Sequence, with Yugo jumping onto some sort of gelatinous cube monster who splits into many smaller, cutesy-looking cubes.
 * At Arm's Length: while she's trying to retrieve her diary, in season 2 episode 6.
 * Atlantis: Sufokia is the setting's equivalent, complete with immersion by an ancient catastrophe.
 * Attack Reflector: Yugo's portals can be used to this end.
 * Aura Vision: Dragons do this; it's how Grougaloragran chose Alibert to be Yugo's adoptive father.

 * Authority Equals Asskicking

"Smisse Monde: If it moves, kill it! If it shines, plunder it!"

 * Remington Smisse
 * Badass Creed:

"Remington: SILENCE, SHUSHUS! Can't hear myself killing, here!"
 * Badass Grandpa
 * Ruel might be old (the artbooks say he was around before Ogrest flooded the world!), but he is suggested to being the strongest of the Brotherhood.
 * His grandmother as well.
 * Grougaloragran, for being at least 1,000 years old.
 * Arguably Qilby, . He's certainly old enough... like, thousands and thousands of years old enough.
 * Badass Nickname
 * Spoofed with "The Black Raven" (see below).
 * The Masked Gobbowler, a.k.a..
 * Bad Boss
 * Nox wastes his minions for the slightest objections or speaking at the wrong time.
 * Rushu terrifies even the major Shushus. He's seen using minor ones as projectiles, and incinerates a bunch of his minions just because they're in the way and he's in a hurry.
 * Bad Guy Bar: To some extent every bar in Brâkmar. Though you have to make a reservation before starting a Bar Brawl.
 * Bad Moon Rising: In season 2 episode 5, the moon shortly appears to have a pig's face on it,.

 * Balloon Belly
 * Yugo at the end of episode 6.
 * Az in season 2 episode 1, after feasting on Alibert's food, almost triples his size.

 * Bandage Mummy: Amalia ends up in a full-body cast in season 2 episode 12.
 * Bar Brawl: In episode 10 of season 2.
 * Barehanded Blade Block: Grougaloragran can do this, but of course, he is a dragon.

 * Battle Discretion Shot: Sometimes.
 * In season 1 episode 6, the battle against the ghouls inside the inn. Note that the heroes are also busy getting dressed while brawling, so this gives them a little privacy.
 * In season 2 episode 5, is only shown through its image on the map fissuring.

 * Most of the Bar Brawl in season 2 episode 10.
 * Battle in the Rain: The final battle in episode 26, with Adamaï and Yugo versus Nox, happens in the rain at Mt. Zinit. It is used to great visual effect when.

 * Beam Spam: The Sufokian Stasis cannons in episode 23 of season 2.
 * Beard of Evil
 * Remington Smisse
 * The Beast Master: The Osamodas class.

 * Belly Mouth: Anathar
 * Be Quiet Nudge: After Sadlygrove starts to blurt out that, Eva, while denying, casually chokes him with an arm around his neck to stop him from adding a word.
 * Berserk Button
 * Don't mention Armand's bad breath to his face.
 * is what provokes Sadlygrove's Unstoppable Rage in episode 22. In fact, almost every time Grovy's Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass comes out, it's in response to Eva being in danger (or being hit on).
 * Don't call The Mmmmmmmmmporpg by his birth name. No, seriously, don't. Unless, well, you want the whole town razed.

"Yugo: Cool!"
 * Rushu is fond of doing this to assert his authority.
 * , usually in response to being called traitor, but especially when Yugo gives him the Kirk Summation.
 * Birdcaged: Elaine in episode 19 of season 2.
 * Bizarrchitecture
 * Nox's Giant Clock Mecha is a mindbending clockwork nightmare, as much from the outside than from the inside.
 * The cursed castle of the ugly princesses is quite weird too.
 * Many of the decrepit buildings in Rubilaxia qualify, as well.
 * Rushu's Castle in the Shushu World have all of them beaten, however.
 * Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: Evangelyne's arrows, sometimes. Notably the homing frost arrow in episode 24.
 * Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: Male Sadidas have their faces entirely covered in green hair (even the young ones); females are more human-looking.
 * Blank White Eyes: This is pretty much the visual cue to possession, since it happens to anyone who loses control of themselves:
 * The mind-controlled Sadidas in episode 24.
 * in episode 25.
 * in season 2 episodes 3 & 4.
 * Blessed with Suck
 * Sadlygrove's sword is the prison for a demon. While it makes it a potent weapon, it can in turn possess him if he lets his guard down.
 * Qilby is practically the embodiment of this:
 * Blindfolded Vision: Yugo in episode 21, but only temporarily.
 * Blinding Bangs
 * Princess Lela's cursed form;
 * Chamberlain Thickdruft and a few other Sadidas.
 * Bling of War: The Justice Knight's armor and weapons are made out of gold.
 * Blob Monster
 * The Dripples ("Flaqueux") in episode 5 are Blob People.
 * An authentic Blob Monster appears in episode 7 from a broken potion flask.

 * Bob Haircut: General Frida Mofette and the female crew of the Sufokian Navy.
 * Body Count Competition: have an impromptu one in season 2 episode 9. Problem is,.
 * Bond Villain Stupidity: Rushu. Wanting to play games with the heroes.
 * Boobs of Steel: Gen. Frida by a long shot. Her gender is obvious from a top view, and she's a Blood Knight bordering on Ax Crazy when you put her in a mech.
 * Boomerang Comeback: Attempted by Yugo with his wakfu shield in season 2 episode 25,
 * Born-Again Immortality: The Eliatrope council, without the memory retention.
 * Bounty Hunter: Alibert and Ruel's previous occupation. It's when Alibert decided to quit because he was too soft-hearted that Grougaloragran left baby Yugo in his care.

 * A Boy and His Tofu: Yugo & Az
 * Break the Cutie
 * Oh Crâ, episode 19.
 * And again in episode 25.
 * She was this close to being even more broken when . It was averted that time, thank Crâ, but poor Eva seems like a Cosmic Plaything...
 * Breath Weapon
 * Grougaloragran has an extremely versatile and powerful fire breath that he uses liberally in either dragon or humanoid form.
 * Adamaï can also do it, though with far less power.
 * And Phaeris, of course, as Anathar can attest from direct experience.

 * Bridge Bunnies: On board of the Sufokian capital ship.
 * Bring It: Sadlygrove to the Sadida warriors in episode 19.

 * Bubble Pipe: Shanon Stone owns one with a cigarette-holder look.
 * Bullet Time
 * Ruel dodging McDeek's energy blast in episode 9.

 * Burning Rubber: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg leaves a trail of fire behind him whenever he uses his Super Speed.
 * Busman's Vocabulary: Quite frequent.
 * Amalia uses metaphors and expressions based on plants all the time. Later episodes show us that most Sadidas do this.
 * Likewise, Ruel's speech often alludes to money or wealth (and shovels).
 * Minor characters are also on it; Xav the Baker and his father Ratafouine are constantly referencing bread and baking.
 * Even Nox isn't above making regular clocks or time-related quips.
 * The Butcher: Bourlof ("le dépeceur" in the original French).
 * By the Lights of Their Eyes: 's eyes are still visible from inside Anathar's belly.

 * Several Call Backs in Season 2 Episode 2-3 to Season 1 Episode 6, with the return of Vampyro's castle and his ghouls.
 * Season 1 Episode 9: "I don't like clicks..." Season 2 Episode 5: "I really don't like clicks..."
 * Season 2 episode 18: "Another of that thing? We're gonna end up in our undies again."
 * Calvin Ball: Gobbowl. It seems pretty straightforward at first... but rules get thrown out the window about halfway through. In Bonta, a totem pole rises out of the ground and inflicts some effect chosen by the audience on the field, just for fun. And in Gobbowl, cheating is part of the sport.
 * The Cameo: Tons and tons. We can split them up in to types:
 * Internal cameos, which show characters from previous (or future) episodes out of context. For example, you can see two of the princesses from episode 4 in the crowd in episode 10.
 * Goultard's mother is in the background in episode 3, heaving a heavy basket exactly like her initial appearance in a previous Ankama short film.
 * makes a brief appearance in episode 26. You'd have to know the universe's backstory to understand what he's doing there, or even who he is, since it's not explained in the episode.
 * External cameos, which display some of the author's tastes in anime and series. Frequently in the background or in a crowd.
 * Naruto
 * Fry and Bender
 * Goldorak
 * Kuririn and Master Roshi
 * Akuma
 * Monkey D. Luffy
 * Ichigo Kurosaki
 * Camera Abuse: Ankama seems to like this way of Painting the Fourth Wall.
 * Jactance fogging the "camera lens" in season 1 episode 12.
 * Season 2 episode 2 also has raindrops or mud visibly splashing the "lens".
 * And in season 2 episode 7, the "camera" is broken by a cannon projectile!
 * During the credit roll for season 2 episode 14, Amalia tries to sing the show's theme song and shatters the camera lens on the last note.
 * Camp Gay: Canar and Renate don't even try to be subtle about it. Renate himself is named after the fabulous Renato from the film/musical La Cage aux Folles.

 * Caught the Heart on His Sleeve: Eva does a variation of this in episode 25 with Sadlygrove's Scarf of Asskicking.
 * Censor Steam: The Shower Scene in episode 22.
 * Cerebus Syndrome: The show starts off as very fun and colourful, and even the tragic Break the Cutie moment in episode 19 is created by somewhat silly circumstances (namely ). But once you hit episode 24, Ankama takes all of your silly expectations of an innocent Saturday-morning kid's cartoon and utterly shatters them by delivering the darkest, most tense, and most heart-breaking season finale French animation has ever seen.
 * Chained by Fashion: Anathar, after escaping from the Justice Knight's prison, keeps the enormous manacles and chains around his huge wrists.
 * Changing Clothes Is a Free Action: Just before the Bontarian Gobbowl match, at the doors of the stadium, Ruel's team players get outfitted -- which is okay since the gear is mostly put above their regular clothes. But Amalia and Eva also get to change into cheerleader outfits at the same time, while in the previous scene they were dressed as usual. When (and where) did they do that?
 * Cheeky Mouth
 * Chest Insignia: "J" for the Justice Knight.
 * Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive: Done by the Justice Knight.
 * Click Hello
 * Remington does this to Evangelyne in season 2 episode 2.
 * Also happens to Amalia in episode 24 of season 2.
 * Cliff Hanger: An infamous one at the end of episode 15, which acted as a mid-season break while Ankama and France 3 worked on finishing future episodes and scheduling. Not knowing what would happen to the heroes who were, and knowing that the answer was only going to come six or seven months later was quite annoying.
 * Clock Punk: Not applicable to the whole setting, but frequent examples show up.
 * Nox's creations are all based on intricate clockwork design, from his Giant Mecha Watch, to his Clockwork Creatures like Razortime.

 * Combat Sadomasochist: The Sacrier class, including Kriss Krass.
 * Combat Tentacles
 * Grougaloragran as a Giant Squid makes heavy use of them.
 * Anathar can conjure pitch-black tentacles directly from Rushu's dimension through portals. They're agressive enough that they even seize their summoner if he gets too close.
 * also sports some.
 * Comically Missing the Point

"The Justice Knight: Justice calls for... Justice!

 * Consulting Mister Puppet: Sybannak talking to a small rock.
 * Contemplative Boss: Nox at the end of episode 24. He also does this for a big part of the battle in episode 17,.
 * Continuity Cameo: Despite being placed a thousand years later, the series continuously makes references to the original Dofus game and universe.
 * The most obvious example would be the animated trees in episode 2: the episode references a story from one of the Dofus comics, Le Chêne Mou.
 * , a major character of the Dofus comic, makes an appearance in episode 22.
 * , an important background character of the Wakfu game, makes a brief appearance in episode 26.
 * Wakfu is also big on cross-media. Most places from the series can be found in the Spin-Off MMORPG, The Guardians.
 * Convection, Schmonvection: Brâkmar is built on volcanic ground, with lava rivers flowing below several parts of the town, which should make the whole city too hot to be liveable. The Gobbowl Stadium itself is above a lava lake.
 * Cool Train: Property of the Justice Knight.
 * Cosmopolitan Council: The Council of the Twelve, which consists out of the leaders and nobles of the twelve races. And the Prince of Brâkmar.
 * Couch Gag: Yugo flies towards the episode's antagonist at the end of each Title Sequence of season 1. For episodes not centered on Yugo, it's Sadlygrove who jumps towards the antagonist.
 * Coup De Grace: Narrowly averted in episode 26;.
 * Covered in Gunge: The Dragoturkey dung bath in episode 4.
 * Crazy Prepared: Pandiego de la Vega in episode 13 of season 2.
 * Creative Closing Credits: The credits of each episode have a small scene acted out by a character or characters from that episode alongside them. The first four episodes are simply the main characters introducing themselves, but the following episodes all have little skits attached.

 * A Day in the Limelight
 * Episode 20 is mostly spent exploring Evangelyne's psyche.
 * Sadlygrove gets one two episodes later.

 * Deadpan Snarker: Evangelyne; Ruel
 * Death Course
 * The treasure room security in episode 9.
 * The Dragon-Pig's lair in season 2 episode 5.
 * Death Glare: Ruel's grandmother will give you one if you ever say the word "borrow". Or "discount". Or "refund". Or... well, any suggestion you could pay less than her tariff.
 * Delayed Causality
 * Sadlygrove's sword slashes often go according to this, but they split stuff immediately just as often according to Rule of Drama. For example in episode 20, when he.
 * Also, the snow sculptures sliced in halves by Ruel in episode 17.
 * Remington's boomerang has this effect on buildings.
 * Demonic Possession: Shushu guardians technically exist to prevent this from happening, but Sadlygrove is not very good at it, and has been possessed by Rubilax on more than one occasion.
 * In episode 6.
 * Rubilax has also possessed in episode 7.
 * In episode 25,.
 * Grany Smisse has this happen to him on purpose in season 2.
 * In season 2 episode 2, we learn that . This is remedied a few episodes later.
 * Anathar was the Shushu possessing . Anathar later does the same thing to.
 * Demon Lords and Archdevils
 * Rushu the Lord of Shushus;
 * Osamodas, who, while being technically regarded as a god, is just a very powerful demon.
 * Department of Redundancy Department:

Jactance: This is literally literal!!"

"Amalia: Why is she always the one getting kidnapped? I'm the princess!"
 * Depth Deception
 * Played with in episode 14 with Moon's entrance, with shadows and a close-up obfuscating temporarily the fact that the monkey isn't quite the expected size.
 * Also when Rubilax in episode 22; it isn't immediately obvious that.
 * Despair Event Horizon
 * In episode 25, when . Everything from Eva's reaction, to the fact that even Rubilax is visibly saddened by it combines to create an utterly crushing moment. And as if to defy the very idea of a Despair Event Horizon, it proceeds to get worse.
 * Arguably manages to cross it twice. The first time  and the second.
 * Destructive Saviour: It seems that every time our Five-Man Band tries to save a village from invaders, they level at least half of it in the fight anyway.
 * Detect Evil: Grougaloragran can see auras and detect evil. Unfortunately, the heroes accidentally spurs the ancient dragon to attack by.
 * Determinator

 * Also, Nox, in an obsessive, highly demented sort of way.

 * Disney Villain Death: in episode 3 of season 2.
 * Distracting Disambiguation: While fighting a villain named "The Black Raven", Yugo makes the point that all ravens are black. The team then immediately drops what they're doing in order to work on a better name for him.
 * Damsel in Distress
 * Parodied in episode 4, with Sadlygrove lured into the cursed castle by a promise of Damsels in Distress... to end up in the role, captured by the Ugly Princesses.
 * This happens more often to Evangelyne than Amalia. Even lampshaded in episode 18:

"Yugo: Look at his cape! It's moving by itself!"
 * Dude in Distress
 * Sadlygrove in season 1 episode 4, "Miss Ugly".
 * Yugo in season 2 episode 4,.
 * Ruel in season 2 episode 5, "The Dragon-Pig".

 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the episode "Cléophée", Sadlygrove tries to use Rubilax in the ring (by making him grow bigger). After a couple of failed attempts, he adds "I'm sorry, this is the first time this has happened to me."
 * Does Not Like Shoes
 * Amalia is most usually barefoot (except during both Gobbowl arcs, in the polar region in episodes 17-18, or when dressed in full princess regalia).
 * Sadlygrove seems to have lost his shoes sometime after episode 22.
 * The Doll Episode: Nox shows his talent for mechanical Puppet Shows in the bonus episode, but that was just the precursor to his puppet shows recreating in episode 24. Logically it should be touching that he's made a puppet show to remind him of that, but it's just really, really creepy.
 * Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: In season 2 episode 9, quickly learns that lacking respect for Rushu is suicidal.
 * Doomed Hometown: Emelka. Within the first episode, it's wrecked by a monstrous possessed berserker and attacked by vengeful forest spirits that turn many inhabitants into plants. Sure, they got better, but then they're paid a visit by a crazy time mage right afterwards...
 * Door Step Baby: Yugo
 * Dragged Off to Hell:, as seen in season 2 episode 4.

"Yugo: I love the stars. Sometimes it feels like my real home is somewhere up there."
 * Drill Tank: Ruel has one that he uses in episode 25.

 * Dropped a Bridge on Him:
 * Drunken Boxing: Pandawas
 * Dub Name Change: The German dub renames the entire Five-Man Band.
 * Yugo -- Yago (This one's justified in that "Yugo" is considered offensive slang in Germany.)

 * Amalia -- Amaya
 * Ruel Stroud -- Ruel Struut
 * Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Qilby
 * Dumb Muscle: The Iop class, including Sadlygrove.
 * Dungeon Crawling: A few of the heroes' adventures. The Dragon-Pig's lair in season 2 episode 5 hangs a lampshade on the whole thing, with a map alluding of the traps to come, and a few meta references to online RPGs.
 * Dynamic Entry
 * Earn Your Happy Ending: Debatable. On the one hand the overall tone of the season 1 ending fits with this trope, on the other hand.
 * The Easy Way or the Hard Way: Remington Smisse, on his first confrontation with Evangelyne. With rhymes to boot.
 * Eenie Meenie Miny Moai: A fox version thereof in episode 15 of season 2.

 * in season 2 episode 6, passing the baton to Shinonome's dofus for the rest of the second season.
 * Egopolis: Rubilaxia.
 * Elemental Powers: Yugo and Nox use space and time, respectively, and the Sadidas control plants (the Chinese element wood). On the minor characters' side, Vampyro (or rather ) can control darkness/shadows, and (if you really want to stretch the definition of "element") Chouquette can control pastries.
 * Embarrassing First Name: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg's true name is . It's also his Berserk Button.
 * Embarrassing Nickname: Sir Sadlygrove Percedal has a real name much cooler than his nickname, which is either "Grovy" or "Dally" depending on if you subscribe to fansubs or the official English translation. It's even worse in the original French: Sadlygrove's name is originally Tristepin (an almost literal translation), and his nickname is "Pinpin". His master,, calls him "Pipoun". Guess you can't go lower than that for a fearsome warrior.
 * Empathic Environment
 * Empathy Doll Shot: In the village devastated by Rubilaxia.
 * Enemy Mine: Evangelyne and Remington Smisse against in "Rubilaxia".
 * Energy Ball
 * Razortime fire balls of "Pure Stasis". It's the most deadly weapon the heroes have faced so far.
 * Adamaï can also shoot small wakfu balls (though they're the same color as Stasis), notably in his fight against Igôle.
 * Episode Title Card: With the start of season 2.
 * "Everybody Laughs" Ending: Season 1, episode 5 "Vampyro".

 * Evil Makeover:
 * Evil Plan: While its evilness is arguable, Nox's plan is to drain the wakfu of more or less everything in order to.
 * Evil Weapon
 * Rubilax; see Sealed Evil in a Can.
 * Season 2 episodes 2-3 are loaded with weapon Shushus of every kind.
 * Evolving Credits: In Season 1, the last shot of the opening is Yugo (or Sadlygrove for the episodes focused on his character arc) flying towards a villain whose size is exaggerated for dramatic effect. The villain in question is always that particular episode's Villain of the Week (until the last episode, which uses Nox). In Season 2, the shot of Ruel throwing his shovel is replaced with after episode 5.
 * Exactly What I Aimed At: Evangelyne against Remington in season 2 episode 2 -- her light arrows didn't miss, she was aiming at crashing a house on him. Same thing with.
 * Expansion Pack Past: Ruel, who was among other things a Gobbowl star and a rockstar.
 * Expecting Someone Taller: The Sadida children in season 2 episode 6, about.

 * Sadlygrove often inspires this to his friends, usually accompanied by them calling him a "Iop brain". Eva goes for the [[media:Wakfu_Facepalm_9735.jpg|two-handed facepalm]] in episode 19 when Grovy gets himself into a duel with Prince Armand.
 * Jay the Iop also spurs Kriss Krass to facepalm during the Bontarian Gobbowl match.
 * Rushu facepalms when he thinks Anathar has just crushed his precious Eliatrope prisoner.
 * Faceless Eye: Rubilax, as well as many other Shushus imprisoned in items.
 * Facial Composite Failure: The poster of Nox's minions done by Renate in episode 24 results in.
 * Fake-Out Make-Out: Kriss Krass to his friend Maude; it was used to hide the fact that she plays Gobbowl.
 * Faking the Dead:
 * Failed Attempt At Drama: Sadlygrove is a repeat offender.
 * One of the most drawn-out example is certainly during the Bontarian Gobbowl arc, after the start of the second quarter-time. Grovy seizes the ball to everyone's surprise and runs, along with a very uplifiting music, dramatic echo of Ruel's earlier psych-up speech and Split-Screen Reaction of everybody else... and he scores! Except it is revealed after a few seconds of shocked silence that
 * Fainting
 * This can happen to Ruel when he has no choice but to spend his money.
 * Slo-Mo the Brâkmarian referee faints twice at the sight of women actually playing Gobbowl.

 * Ruel Stroud is the Cool Old Guy with shades of The Smart Guy;
 * Evangelyne is The Lancer;
 * Amalia is The Chick;
 * And then there's Az the Tofu, a small bird-thing that can only be the Team Pet.
 * By that proxy, is The Sixth Ranger in season 1, and  in season 2.
 * Flaming Sword: Bourlof the Butcher
 * Flash Back
 * How the Ugly Princesses received their curse in episode 4.
 * Botan Ficus telling the backstory of the Kaniboules in episode 14.
 * Sadlygrove talking about his past adventures over in episode 22.
 * Qilby narrating in season 2 episode 6.
 * Ruel remembering his childhood in season 2 episode 7.
 * Flashback Effects: Various.
 * Mostly by using Art Shift, as with Botan Ficus or Quilby's flashbacks.
 * The scenes illustrating the Ugly Princesses' story are surrounded by Flower Motifs.
 * The ones from Sadlygrove in episode 22 use the same naïve and Super-Deformed style than Mini-Wakfu.
 * Ruel's flashback in season 2 episode 7 is desaturated, and with the sound and quality of a Super 8 film.
 * Floating Continent: The landscape of Rushu's World is mainly constitued of floating landmasses.
 * Floating in A Bubble: Yugo and Az in episode 15.

 * Fluffy Cloud Heaven: Parts of Incarnam.
 * Fluffy Tamer: Lotie the Osamodas (the little girl from season 1 episode 23).
 * Flynning: Intentionally used during the pirate assault in episode 18, as a parody of swashbuckling movies.
 * Fog Feet
 * McDeek the Genie, in his true form, has a long trail of purple smoke instead of legs.
 * Rushu, lords of the Shushus, is a special case: he can turn his lower body into searing flames.
 * The Fog of Ages
 * Grougaloragran
 * Follow the Bouncing Ball: The opening of episode 14 of season 2 has this -- with a Tofu, fittingly.
 * Food Porn: The show sometimes delves into this, with for example Yugo's blanquette or the feast at the end of the Bontarian Gobbowl arc. And then there's the whole of episode 8 and its bakery contest; even its Monster of the Week can make you salivate.
 * Foot Focus
 * Amalia is constantly barefoot, and close-ups are common.
 * Evangelyne has some moments, too (doing cartwheels in episode 4, fighting in nightgown in episode 6...).
 * Foreshadowing
 * After episode 25, you will not be able to rewatch the "Gobbowl Hell" arc with anything approaching the same frame of mind. The phrase takes on a whole different meaning.
 * in episode 20. He does it again during his rallying speech in episode 25.
 * There is possible foreshadowing for the end of season 1 as early as episode 2.
 * Yugo's talk with Amalia in episode 13:
 * Yugo's talk with Amalia in episode 13:


 * has been featured in the opening credits since the very beginning.
 * For the Evulz
 * This is the standard motivation for Shushus.
 * Remington Smisse sure likes to be a backstabbing dick for the sake of being a backstabbing dick. Even though every act of pointless villainy he commits ends poorly for him.
 * Four-Fingered Hands
 * Vampyro's ghouls have four fingers... but when they go back to humans, they get a normal five-fingered hands.
 * Ditto with Sadlygrove, when he lets Rubilax possess him.
 * And Adamaï while in humanoid form.
 * Freeze-Frame Bonus
 * Friend to All Living Things: Amalia
 * From Nobody to Nightmare: Nox. From a debt-ridden watchkmaker to a destroyer of whole civilizations.
 * Frothy Mugs of Water: Aktator the Pandawa is said to have fallen in a barrel of bamboo "milk" when little. In Dofus, Pandawas actually gain their strength by drinking bamboo alcohol.
 * Full-Moon Silhouette: Both Evangelyne and Remington is season 2 episode 3.
 * Funbag Airbag: Amalia and Evangelyne seem to have some little animals doing this to them...

 * Fusion Dance: Ruel's grandmother and her Dhreller can merge before a fight.
 * Gaia's Vengeance: The Polters attacking Emelka in reaction to the ravages caused by the Noxines.
 * Gainaxing
 * Subtle, but it's definitely there with Prince Adale's Bridge Bunnies. It helps that they are pretty busty compared to the series' standards.
 * Amalia has some as well when she jumps up fast enough.
 * Gender Bender: as well as a few extras during the Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc, thanks to a magic potion. Unusually, all of them are strictly female-to-male gender benders. Justified Trope since women aren't allowed to even watch Gobbowl matches, let alone participate, in Brâkmar. The vendors make a killing selling the potions to female sports fans.
 * Gender Blender Name:
 * Gene Hunting: The most part of the first season revolves around Yugo searching for his origin.
 * Genre Savvy: in the Dragon-Pig's lair. Because he usually is the Butt Monkey, no-one listens to him. Which is a mistake.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Has its own page.
 * Ghibli Hills: The Forbidden Forest next to Emelka. Honestly, the Polters are even reminiscent of the Nature Spirits from Princess Mononoke.

 * Girl in the Tower: Spoofed in season 1 episode 4.

 * Global Currency: Kamas.
 * Glory Days: Kabrok's main source of depression.
 * A God Am I
 * Willow, in episode 14.
 * Also Nox, depending on how much wakfu he drains from the Eliacube.
 * Go-Go Enslavement: Evangelyne in "Vampyro".
 * Gold Tooth: All of McDeek's teeth after he starts absorbing Ruel's treasure.
 * Golem: Several; some are Improvised Golems (see below). For the more permanent ones:
 * A Bread Golem in episode 8.
 * A Stone Golem in episode 23.
 * Another golem is described as the Mid Boss of the Dragon-Pig's lair in season 2 episode 5.
 * Good Colors, Evil Colors: While normal Xelors sport a white/grey/blue color theme, Nox himself (and his minions) has a dark grey/black/brown one.
 * Goofy Print Underwear: Yugo's boxers sport a pair of Tofus.
 * Gosh Hornet: Elaine steps onto a hive and the typical running and jumping into a nearby pond ensues in episode 21 of season 2.
 * Grand Theft Me
 * What Shadofang plans with Evangelyne's body in "Vampyro".
 * pre-season 2.
 * Gratuitous English
 * Every other word that comes out of Yugo's mouth is "cool", though it's more of a French colloquialism than intentionally gratuitous English.
 * "Le Rush" in the Shushu world.
 * Gratuitous Japanese: Season 2 episode 22 as a whole fight with a Japanese song as background music, worthy of any Shonen Anime.
 * Gray Eyes: Sufokian general Frida Mofette.
 * The Great Flood: Ogrest's Chaos.
 * Green Around the Gills: Sadlygrove whenever he's aboard a boat.
 * Green Thumb: The Sadida people.
 * Groin Attack
 * Very narrowly avoided in episode 16, when a big stalactite falls right between Sadlygrove's legs -- which Rubilax finds uproariously funny.
 * gets kicked by Evangelyne below the belt line in season 2 episode 3.
 * Also happens to Ruel in episode 16 of season 2 by a bratty Iop child.
 * Ground-Shattering Landing
 * Group Hug: One happens in season 2 episode 3 when Yugo, Amalia, and Ruel find out that.
 * Growling Gut
 * Yugo in episode 6.
 * Yugo, Ruel and in season 2 episode 5, lengthily, to the point Amalia complains.
 * Guns Akimbo: Remington Smisse's dual Shushu pistols.
 * Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Evangelyne and Amalia primarily attack from a range, while Ruel, Yugo and Sadlygrove favor more close combat. Cléophée subverts this somewhat.
 * Hammerspace Hideaway: Ruel's Havresac.
 * Hand Behind Head: Yugo does this in episode 6.
 * Hand or Object Underwear: In season 2 episode 11, the gender-bent Fanservice Extra trying to sneak in the stadium covers her chest with an arm when the potion stops having effect. Later,.

 * Henpecked Husband: Kabrok
 * Heroic Sacrifice: in episode 25.
 * Hold Up Your Score: Sadlygrove in episode 4, when he's judging the beauty... ahem, ugly pageant.
 * Hold Your Hippogriffs: For any Earth-based expression using an animal, it is replaced with a species from the world of Wakfu -- though the name used is always close enough to keep the meaning readily understandable. And it's not just animals: the first spoken line in the entire series is roughly, "What the bwork?"
 * Hollywood Mirage: Happens to Sadlygrove in episode 22.
 * Homage
 * Episode 5; the title can be translated as "The Magnificent Five", which is an obvious reference to the 1960s western The Magnificent Seven. The episode itself is about the Five-Man Band teaching a village how to protect themselves from pillagers, which mirrors the plot of the film.
 * The first season's three-episode Gobbowl arc was largely inspired by the "Rugball" arc of Space Adventure Cobra, including its typical Pastel-Chalked Freeze-Frame.
 * A good chunk of episode 14 is a homage to King Kong, complete with Captured by Cannibals, Damsel in Distress, Beauty and The Beast and Monkeys. Only the monkey's size is not really the same.
 * Home Base: The Justice Knight's hideout.
 * Hopeless Suitor: Armand toward Evangelyne, who has absolutely no interest in the prince and considers him an egotistical dick with pig breath.
 * Hope Spot
 * A minor one in episode 24. For a little while it looks like the Sadidas might be able to defeat Nox's minions before they can construct a portal to bring in his giant clockwork-spider doom-fortress. Unfortunately.
 * Far, far worse in the finale, when.
 * Horned Humanoid: Osamodas
 * Horrifying the Horror
 * Rubilax in full rampage mode stops dead on his tracks at the mere sight of (and tries to inconspicuously slither away while in the body of a giant worm -- hilarious).
 * Several cases in succession with the chase from episode 21 of season 2, turning it pretty much into a Benny Hill scene.
 * Horror Hunger: Subverted with "The Thursters" as they are a race of intangible ghouls who are cut off from ever touching what they treasure, stranding them in an eternal, lonely thirst.
 * Horse Archer: Or rather, Dragoturkey Archer. Evangelyne is riding a dragoturkey the first time we see her wielding her bow. She's riding one again in episode 24 and in season 2 episode 2.
 * Horse of a Different Color: The most common steed in this world is the dragoturkey ("dragodinde" in the original French). Also, some of these large birds can fly.
 * Hot Mom
 * Amalia's mother was quite the looker,.
 * Let's not forget Helen, Xav's wife.
 * And as seen at the end of the first season credits:.
 * Improbable Species Compatibility: The backstory of the Dragon-Pig has him being the result of a romance between a dragon and a sow....
 * How Dare You Die on Me!: In episode 26:

"Rushu: You think you can upset me your insults? Goultard: By Iop, no! I know you're way too stupid to understand even half of it."
 * Hufflepuff House: Sufokia
 * Human Hummingbird
 * Done by some characters when about to fall, notably Evangelyne in episodes 4 and 20.
 * Also Yugo starting to cook under the desert sun in episode 21.
 * Hurricane Kick: against the Dragon-Pig.
 * Hurricane of Puns: Some of the character entries on the Wakfu official website. The one for the Dragon-Pig is especially bad about it.
 * Hypocritical Humor: Occasionally shows up.
 * In season 1 episode 8, Evangelyne scolds Sadlygrove for his bad table manners... just before starting wolfing down herself.
 * Season 2 episode 5 has the "I Warned You" example below.
 * I Am Not Shazam: In-universe example. The names of the races and the gods that they follow are often used interchangeably. For example, an Enutrof's Fingers (a follower of the god Enutrof), is often just called "an Enutrof".
 * I Am Who?: Yugo finding out he is the last of the Eliatropes.
 * The Igor: Igor, who speaks with a strong Eastern-European accent, clearly evokes this. He's not a hunchback, however, but a huge Shushu mirror.
 * Ignored Enemy: Happens to the Black Raven in episode 3, while our heroes discuss how (un)intimidating his name sounds, even coming up with alternative suggestions on their own.
 * I Have You Now, My Pretty: Happens twice to Evangelyne, first with Vampyro, and then with the pirate captain Smisse Monde.
 * "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight
 * Evangelyne tries this on a Rubilax-possessed Sadlygrove in season 1 episode 19. However, he only starts regaining his senses

 * Kriss Krass, during the match against the Masked Gobbowler.
 * Immortality Inducer: The Eliacube to Nox.
 * I'm Okay

 * Amalia protests this in season 2 episode 12, after she's been put in a full-body cast and the two commentators basically start her obituary.
 * The Imp: Grufon qualifies as the harmless kind while sealed in the map... but in episode 13.
 * Important Haircut
 * Kriss at the end of episode 12.
 * Evangelyne at the end of season 2's first episode.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Almost every character has his own improbable weapon.
 * Ruel uses a shovel (and fake gold pieces) to fight.
 * Amalia, like many Sadida, uses a veggie doll.
 * The Black Raven uses a spear/sword which is twice as big as him.
 * Xav the baker use a wooden baker plate.
 * Goultard uses a broken sword tied to a chain.
 * In "Vampyro", even the Tofu is used as a weapon!
 * That's how it works in the original game, too. There's only a few exceptions, like swords and unarmed combat. There's even a class which is designed to fight with giant clockwork needles!
 * Nox's Clockwork Mecha of Doom is at its simplest a giant ambulatory pocket watch.
 * Improvised Golems
 * Rubilax's stone clones fit in this category.
 * Adamaï summons a stone golem to fight in both episode 15 of the first season, and episode 1 of the second season.
 * In a Single Bound
 * Sadlygrove possessed by Rubilax.
 * Goultard
 * Indy Escape: In the Dragon-Pig's lair, as a staple of any Temple of Doom. You can tell it's going to be this from a glance at the map before it's even shown on screen.
 * Inertia Is a Cruel Mistress: Yugo's portals work this way, but given his ability to orient them any way he wishes, it's quite effective.
 * Innocuously Important Episode: Episode 6 of season 1, "Vampyro", looks similar to any other Wacky Wayside Tribe Filler, but it introduces several elements that will prove important by season 2, especially.
 * Instant Ice, Just Add Cold
 * Whenever Evangelyne uses an ice arrow, lots of ice form around the point of impact.
 * Nausea encases Rubilax in ice with a magic potion in episode 7.
 * McDeek's freezing ray in episode 9.
 * The classic comic-relief-encased-in-a-square-block-of-ice happens to Sadlygrove (and Rubilax) in episode 17 after falling in a frozen lake. Adamaï melts the ice with his fire breath.
 * Insult Backfire: The Iop King uses the ongoing insult of his race being Dumb Muscle to his favor towards helping Quilby, claiming that the Iops' brains are too small to consider treachery.
 * Interspecies Adoption: Elaine
 * In the End You Are on Your Own: Yugo against Nox in the season finale.
 * I Shall Taunt You: Goultard is not afraid to mock even a Physical God:


 * And that's saying something when you come from a species known for being dim.

": I wouldn't want to play the "I warned you" card... (deep breath) BUT I WARNED YOU!"
 * It Always Rains At Funerals: In episode 22 of season 2.
 * It Has Been an Honor: Evangelyne in episode 7, when surrounded by an army of evil dolls.
 * I Want Them Alive: Nox specifically orders Igôle to bring back Adamaï "without damaging him too much", since he wants to drain his wakfu. Thus explaining why Igôle would swallow whole the dragonet with no more damage than locking his shapechange.

 * Sadlygrove at the sight of his master,, vanquishing Rubilax in one blow.
 * [[media:Wakfu_Facepalm_9735.jpg|Amalia]], when Grovy gets himself into a duel by defying her brother Armand.
 * Ruel in season 2 episode 8, after learning that.
 * Jerkass Gods: The Twelve in spades. Iop's carelessness resulted in the destruction of the last world he presided over; Xelor does nothing to stop his lieutenants from abusing their powers via tormenting mortals; Sadida fathered a child with one of his Dolls and proceeded to butcher his deformed offspring; Ecaflip's kid turned out completely rotten and corrupt; Osamodas has been known to curse anyone that insults him; and Pandawa became a goddess by intoxicating people into worshipping her. It says something when the Blood Goddess (Sacrier), God of Greed (Enutrof), and God of Thieves are the least malevolent and destructive of a pantheon.
 * Jerkass Has a Point: Many of the points the Prince of Brâkmar makes during the Council of the Twelve, as the Eliacube and the Eliatropes are in fact quite dangerous and have destroyed entire worlds before.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Ruel, though he's more of a skinflint with a heart of gold.
 * Amalia may be a little spoiled choleric princess, but she has moments when she is really concerned by the fate of her companions (like in "Vampyro" or "Gobbowl Hell III"), so she may qualify, too.
 * Remington nearly qualifies; he's an unforgivable douchebag to the heroes every single time he appears, but he's quite honorable if Grany's safety is involved.
 * Join the Army They Said: A Sufokian mook yells this during the battle in season 2 episode 25.
 * The Juggernaut: Razortime
 * Juggle Fu: Grougaloragran with Yugo's baby carriage in episode 1.
 * Just Eat Him: This happens twice in episode 21, with Igôle swallowing whole first Az and then Adamaï, and being forced to regurgitate them both later. (Adamaï can even be seen pounding the beast's distended belly from the inside.) And again with Adamaï in Tofu form in episode 23 -- this time, Igôle willingly spits him out.
 * Kamehame Hadoken: Introduced as a special Gobbowl move in season 2 episode 12.
 * Kangaroo Court: The trials in Brâkmar.
 * Kawaiiko: Lady Glagla, one of the contestants of the singing competition in season 2 episode 15. To a very large degree.
 * Kiai:

"Nox: Maybe at last we'll see what is hiding under your hat!"
 * Kick the Dog: Remington is pointlessly evil to Evangelyne, case in point being during season 2 episode 3 when he . In the same episode, he attacks her right after commending her for rescuing him. He later tries to sic Rushu's Dragon on her, because it "seemed like a good idea".
 * Kiss of Life
 * Sadlygrove attempts to revive Evangelyne this way in episode 15, but she wakes up in time to thrust a kralamour (think jellyfish) in his face instead.
 * Played straighter in season 2 episode 4, where loses no time giving mouth-to-mouth to Evangelyne -- it's rather un-romantic this time, since Eva's life is truly at stake.
 * Knight of Cerebus: Nox
 * Knife Nut: Felinor's second-in-command.
 * Knockout Gas: The gas used by the Justice Knight inside his Justice Train, in episode 8 of season 2.
 * Kuudere: Maude to some extent.
 * Lampshade Hanging:


 * Lantern Jaw of Justice
 * The Justice Knight, fittingly.
 * The Mmmmmmmmmporpg has a monumental chin.
 * Large Ham: The Justice Knight
 * Laser Blade
 * can create a Sinister Scythe made of wakfu once.
 * Then, Yugo gets a sword and shield of wakfu for the final fight of season 2.
 * Last of His Kind: Mid-season 1 we discover that . Subverted in season 2 episode 6 when and we learn that.
 * Last Second Chance: Unusually, . The credits for episode 26 demonstrate this.
 * Leave No Survivors: Implied as the reason why no-one has heard about Nox.
 * Legacy Character
 * The Black Raven
 * The Justice Knight
 * Lethal Lava Land: Brâkmar
 * Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: The Dragon-Pig and because it was a damn good tussle.
 * Let's Split Up, Gang!: decide to go their own way for some time, in episode 18. They return to the others by the end of episode 24.
 * Letting the Air Out of the Band: Used regularly, with some backround music suddenly puttering out along any Mood Whiplash. For example:
 * In season 1 episode 9, when McDeek finds out that he's shooting chocolate instead of energy.
 * The heavenly music during Enutrof's "Divine Intervention" in season 1 episode 16 derails when the god shoots down Ruel's expectations.
 * At the start of season 2 episode 5, the idyllic BGM is interrupted by the heroes' Stomach Groans.
 * One of the Justice Knight's rants has his leitmotif weakening when he stumbles on a word, to triumphantly resume afterward.
 * An in-universe example with the saxophone player in the bar who suddenly stops at the mention of Kriss' name in episode 10 of season 2.
 * Let Us Never Speak of This Again: The whole in "The Dragon-Pig" for the Five-Man Band (especially Amalia).
 * Life Drinker: Nox, the "Devourer of Wakfu".
 * Life Energy: The eponymous wakfu, natch.
 * The Lifestream: The flow of wakfu, and also the reason why dragons and Eliatropes are technically immortal.
 * Lightning Glare: Shortly, between Sadlygrove and Evangelyne in episode 5.
 * Limited Wardrobe
 * Yugo, Amalia and Evangelyne wear the same clothes most of the time, with exceptions made for the plot-related changing (like the princess dresses in episode 4 or the cheerleader outfits in the Bontarian Gobbowl arc).
 * However, Grovy gets a whole new look in episode 22, and Ruel gets a new outfit in the last two episodes of season 1, which he keeps for season 2.
 * Nox bears four different looks through season 1.
 * Evangelyne dons a new outfit for season 2, and while Amalia continues to wear her season 1 clothes, she's briefly shown in full princess garb (including in the opening sequence).
 * Literal Cliff Hanger
 * Yugo and Ruel in episode 9.
 * A few for Eva, Remington, and Grany in Rubilaxia.
 * Literal Surveillance Bug: Nox uses robotic insects both to gather wakfu and as surveillance.
 * Living on Borrowed Time: During season 1,.
 * Living Relic: Qilby
 * Living Shadow: Willow sends his own shadow to fight Sadlygrove in season 1 episode 14.
 * Load-Bearing Boss: Not Nox himself, but, arguably the real villain of season 1.
 * A Load of Bull: The "Bullies" ("Taures" in French).
 * Loads and Loads of Races: At first glance, though in fact it is a subversion of this trope. The "races" in Dofus (and by extension Wakfu) are more along the line of classes or religions. The characters may change in appearance to match that of their gods, but all are still basically "humans" (and there are un-classed, baseline human NPCs too). Which explains why interbreeding is perfectly possible.
 * Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Prince Adal
 * A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away:, according to Quilby.
 * Look What I Can Do Now!: Yugo, and Sadlygrove,, saving Evangelyne from Deserboss in episode 24.

 * Lotus Eater Machine: in episode 20.
 * Love At First Sight: Jay, from his first glance at Evangelyne during the Bontarian Gobbowl match. Sadlygrove too, in fact. What's with Eva and Iops?
 * Lovecraftian Superpower: can morph his limbs and torso into Combat Tentacles and extra mouths.
 * Love Hurts
 * Just ask Sadlygrove and Evangelyne.
 * Nox also has shades of this -- and by shades, we mean his grief has driven him to commit omnicide. Animals, plants, entire countries, and he even attempted to.
 * Love Makes You Crazy: Nox
 * Love Makes You Evil: Nox again.
 * Loyal Animal Companion
 * Az for Yugo.
 * Junior for Ruel.
 * Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: in episode 25 of season 2.
 * Luminescent Blush
 * Used frequently. Sadlygrove and Eva in particular do this a lot near the end of season 1.
 * Yugo when Lady Glagla flirts with him in episode 14 of season 2.
 * Amalia has one in Season 2 of Episode 17, when Ruel tells her she should find love. Oddly just as Yugo appears next to them.
