Line 36:
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Harrison grows apart from Den due to the power the Bloodspirals promise him being appealing. After Den joins Lok's team, this puts the brothers on opposite sides and at each other's throats, {{spoiler|though they do reconcile by the end.}}
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: How the Seekers invoke Titans and cast spells. Strangely, Wind can do both even though he can't speak.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Mr. Wilder, the new leader of The Organization (or parts of it, as Grier never took orders from him) in season 2. Obsessed with control and [[Take Over the World|Taking Over The World]], has quite a few [[Kick the Dog]] moments, the last of which happens right before Grier kicks his ass and [[Put Onon a Bus|brings him to his island to teach him what control really is]].
* [[Character Development]]: The main group of Seekers and a few of the villans go through this, usually rewarded with [[Took a Level In Badass|Levels in Badass]] (or in [[The Ace|Dante's]] case additional [[Took a Level In Badass|Levels in Badass]])
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The goddamn ''Hammer of Thor'': recovered in a first season episode, is strong enough to one-shot the biggest Titan ever seen on screen, but wasn't used anymore due the need for two Seekers to spin the thing before launching it at the victim and it's size (as tall as a man) making it difficult to transport where needed (like when you're fighting [[Big Bad|The Professor]] and his Legendary Titan). Then in the last episode of the second season, during the final battle between the whole Huntik Foundation and the Bloodspiral Order, the Bloodspiral summons an enormous flying Titan that can easily take down the Foundation [[Cool Plane|Cool Planes]]... And when Montehue reach one of the planes to help, the pilot gets him to help with using the Hammer, even commenting it had been a good idea to bring it with them. Wind, the Seeker in control of the flying Titan, has barely the time for an [[Oh Crap]] face before said Titan is one-shotted.
Line 48:
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Zhalia in season one. Den, as a male example in season two, though to a much less extant that Zhalia.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Lok's father, Eathon Lambert
* [[The Dragon]]: Rassimov to The Professor. {{spoiler|[[Dragon Withwith an Agenda|His true loyalty lies with The Betrayer]], [[The Starscream|only to eventually lie with himself]].}}
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Nullifiers mentioned in season one are said to be this and bent to destroy all life. In season two we are shown one of their scouts, and [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111210114620/huntik/images/thumb/b/b7/Void.jpg/520px-Void.jpg the thing] even resembles Chtulhu.
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: The [[Main Character|main characters]] usually get one that show their important traits:
Line 59:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Lok's group, in particularly Sophie, tries this with [[Card-Carrying Villain|Mr. Wilder's]] faction at least twice, in the hopes that they would work together with the Huntik Foundation in battling against the Bloodspirals. He declines both times, saying he'll find a way to control the Bloodspirals and make them work for him, [[What an Idiot!|even though he had already sent his loyal member Stak in to infiltrate their ranks]] and {{spoiler|he [[Killed Off for Real|failed]]}}
** Although they aren't really enemies any more, they also try this with Grier and his faction. It also fails because Grier says he needs to stay and protect his island nation and that he needs to atone for the things in his past he's not proud of. [[Fridge Logic|Apparently, saving the world from chaos loving fanatics who wish to destroy it isn't good enough...]]
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: Grier has Breaker, a [[Spikes of Villainy]]-bearing bear Titan.
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: Sophie's outfits tend to have this element.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]:
Line 90:
** This happens to Lok in the second season, when [[Big Bad|The Betrayer]] reveals that he {{spoiler|[[Batman Gambit|impersonated Eathon Lambert to lead him into]] [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|breaking the seal on the Bloodspiral Mark]]}}.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: It's dubbed in New York, which means that most VA's regularly appear on 4Kids' other shows. Those VA's who aren't New York based include [[Yuri Lowenthal]], who's in everything. It was also Maddie Blaustein's final role.
** Zhalia is <s>[[Code Geass|Kallen]]</s> [[Monster (Animemanga)|Nina Fortner]].
** Grier is [[Kingdom Hearts|Xehanort]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Lucas Casterwill is not helping Sophie, regardless of what he thinks. Focauld Casterwill the Elder of Knowledge, too. His untrustworthiness definitely doesn't win many friends. Plus the Rune Guardians...and to a lesser extent, Sophie at first...it's not hard to see almost the entire Casterwill family as this sometimes.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Dafoe (via Grier), Klaus and various Suits (King Basilisk), Sabriel...though Klaus and Sabriel do come back later. King Basilisk petrification is reversible and Sabriel was with Sophie the whole time.}}
** In season two there's {{spoiler|Stak}} who's used as an example of anyone who plays and/or betrays the Bloodspirals, {{spoiler|Kiel, though it's implied; we don't know what happened, he just disappears, Tantras, also implied but more heavily so, and [[The Starscream|Rassimov]] when his plan with the comet fails. [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with]] in regards to Dante's death. He really did die, he just used Copy Kind before hand to mimic The Legendary Titan Phoenix power to rise from the ashes.}}
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Dante is this most of the time.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: The gang gets new/slight variations on their outfits in season two, usually in the form of jackets.
Line 117:
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Sophie and Lok. Besides the color of their clothes, Sophie has the red background in the opening, while Lok has the blue one.
* [[Power-Up]]: When a Seeker and his or her Titan form a strong bond, it's possible for the Titan to become Powerbonded, which comes with new golden armor, a new summon sequence, and more streams of light as well as a new symbol projection from the amulet. In addition, Seekers and Powerbonded Titans have a perfect [[Psychic Link]]. During season two, all the [[Main Characters]] plus the [[Anti-Villain]] get this, though how many and when differs.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Grier following his promotion.
** Don't forget Zhalia in the end of episode 17. She eventually returns in the next two episodes.
** Zhalia starts [[Commuting Onon a Bus]] a third of the way into season two. We see much less of her and her Titans from that point {{spoiler|until the end of the season two. She only shows up during Bloodspiral scenes and outings that include Harrison. She and Dante still communicate via their Logos Books.}}
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Lok, for all of two minutes, after his initial encounter with Suits and Titans.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: A number of Titans including Zhalia's chameleon Gareon (at first), Defoe's small floating cobra Kreutalk, and Ammit Heart Eater, an alligator-like Titan preferred by Rassimov and the suits under his command.
Line 126:
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Zhalia.
* [[Shout-Out]]: When Dante [[Indiana Jones|throws a suit from a train.]]
** Can't forget the sound effect when a summon is triggered. You know, like, the ''very same one'' used for [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|a Pokémon's retreat into its Pokéball]].
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: Eathon Lambert in season 2: {{spoiler|during the season he appeared to Lok a few times to advise him, but was revealed to have been [[Big Bad|The Betrayer]] all but twice. The first time (which is how The Betrayer knew to copy him) and the next to last, when Lok and Cherit were in a pocket dimension close to Huntik. That's when he told Lok how to neutralize The Betrayer's counter to Pendragon}}
* [[Stock Footage]]: The animation for Titans as they are summoned.
* [[Summon Magic]]: How the Seekers get their Titans out of the amulets.
Line 146:
* [[Travelling At the Speed of Plot]]: Lok and his friends visit his mother in [[wikipedia:Kerry, Ireland|Kerry]], and then head off to Newgrange, in [[wikipedia:County Meath|Meath]]. While they're there, Lok's mother turns up with a picnic basket. From Kerry.
* [[True Companions]]: Lok, Sophie, Dante, Zhalia, and Cherit grow into this by the first season's end. This includes Den as well in the second season after a fashion.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Kiel and Tantras,}} though they are implied to {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|kick the bucket]],}} they sorta just disappear after certain poignant episodes, especially {{spoiler|Keil.}}
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: Zhalia's usual form of disguise.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Wilder seems to exist only for this: after spending the firs few episodes giving the heroes an hard time, the Bloodspiral Order makes its debut by trashing him and his mooks. In a mild subversion, he becomes even more dangerous after that before Grier [[Put Onon a Bus|asskicks him out of the stage]].
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Grier for Dante and vice-versa.
