Line 36:
* [[Feudal Overlord]] : The rebellious Cedric Bull, who also doubles as a [[Dangerous Deserter]].
* [[Gang of Hats]] : All the factions, some by atittudes, some by their preferences for certain types of weaponry, some by the use of magic, etc.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: The ''Dragon Masters'' and ''Fright Knights'' lines.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Well]], ''[[Captain Obvious|duh]]'', the ''Ninja'' line. However, despite the title, a lot of the sets from this line also contains Samurai-themed sets and minifigs. The line could be more accurately called "LEGO does [[Jidai Geki|feudal Japan]]", but ''Ninja'' was apparently a shorter title... and, you know, [[Running Gag|more awesome sounding]].
* [[Legacy Character]] : Arguably King Leo, who's the only character to appear in three different subthemes, years apart (though in the third and latest one, it's actually more of an [[Captain Ersatz]] of him).
Line 45:
* [[Medieval European Fantasy]] : Though some of the factions have a certain degree of [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] to them, they are mostly "generic medieval". E.g. King Leo's Royal Knights and the Forestmen play this straight (generic western European kingdom and generic [[Robin Hood]]-style outlaws), but the Black Knights are a more concrete analogue of a real historical group ([[The Teutonic Knights|Baltic/German]]/[[Creator Provincialism|Scandinavian]]-style nobles and knights with an [[Cool Ship|affinity for sailships]] and [[The Teutonic Knights|coastal castles]]).
* [[Point Defenseless]] : Awesomely averted by King Leo's castles, which include defensive catapults to counter an enemy's barrage.
* [[Shout
* [[Siege Engines]] : Featured as early as the second and third generation (''Crusaders'' and ''Black Knights''), but Cedric the Bull from the Knight's Kingdom era took this [[Up to Eleven]] (to the point of it being his gang's hat). The Dragon Master's also had a large trebuchet-like catapult with ''[[Refuge in Cool|stylized dragon decorations]]''.
* [[Spin-Off]] : First the Ninja theme (regarded as the main theme's Asian cousin), then ''[[Knights Kingdom 2]]''.
