Line 43:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Vulkanus. He appeared three times (including short appearing in dream sequence and VERY short one in future) as Six Six's helper in original series. Later Six Six comes back on [[The Movie]] but, without him. Now he's a reccurring villain. Ironically Six Six doesn't return but was replaced with [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|Seven Seven]].
* [[Badass Boast]]: Ben, in "The Purge":
{{quote|
* [[Back for the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Elena Validus makes her first animated appearance…and dies at the end of it.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Not Quite Dead]]: ...Only for her to return in another, later episode.}}
Line 60:
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Julie in "Revenge of the Swarm."
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: {{spoiler|Will Harangue}} is attacking Ben {{spoiler|for ratings}}, and when he sees the results?
{{quote|
** And Professor Paradox has a habit of warning people not to give out spoilers.
* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Gwen and Kevin, respectively.
Line 71:
** In "Ultimate Sacrifice", Ben activates [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Ghostfreak]] who, like the Ultimates, wanted out of the watch.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Ben has engaged in a bit of this at the end of season 1.
{{quote|
'''Ultimate Echo-Echo:''' Sonic DOOM! }}
* [[Car Fu]]: Kevin uses ''ferris wheel fu'' on Charmcaster in the third episode.
Line 85:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Alien X.
* [[Clarke's Third Law]]:
{{quote|
'''Ben:''' ''Your'' science. }}
* [[Cool Car]]: Ben's still got the DX Mk10 that Kevin made for him in the ''Alien Swarm'' movie, and Kevin naturally has his own ride, as well.
Line 110:
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: In the backstory, Sir George defeated Diagon, banishing him to another dimension. {{spoiler|In the finale Vilgax baits Diagon into attacking an energy draining device. This ''kills'' Diagon since he is an ''[[Energy Being]]''.}}
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Amazingly, [[Defied Trope|defied]] by Kevin in "Computer Games":
{{quote|
'''Gwen:''' ''(pops a [[Fascinating Eyebrow]])'' Go on.
'''Kevin:''' *[[Beat]]* No. I sense I've made a mistake of some kind. }}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The next time you watch "Absolute Power: Part 2", pay ''real'' close attention to the audio at the start. [[Unfortunate Implications|Now, say with]] '''[[Unfortunate Implications|ALL]]''' [[Unfortunate Implications|honesty that you don't picture Kevin doing… "something else" there…]]
Line 178:
** Are we not going to mention Paradox's warning at the end of "Ben 10,000 Returns" concerning the Lucubra and Old George?
** Some parts of the fandom theorize that Paradox even hinted at {{spoiler|the upcoming Ben 10 and ''[[Generator Rex]]'' crossover}} in "The Forge of Creation":
{{quote|
'''Paradox:''' "Oh, that's the next universe over. I don't like it at all." }}
*** His explanations of alternate realities, separate universes, and the time/space continuum in "Ben 10,000 Returns" makes this particular foreshadowing even more plausible.
Line 192:
** In the season finale, ''no one'' is surprised that Darkstar tries to betray everyone at the end, and he's promptly dealt with in less than 2 seconds. No cliffhanger for you, buddy!
** A government [[The Men in Black|Man in Black]] displays this in "The Widening Gyre":
{{quote|
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Gwen manages to take this [[Beyond the Impossible]] when she slaps Humongosaur out of a drug-fueled rampage. She can canonically beat substance abuse right out of people.
** [[Armor-Piercing Slap|Not to mention actually she seemed to make it hurt.]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Zombozo and Kevin face each other with mallets, and Zombozo tells Kevin "Mine's BIGGER than yours!" Kevin naturally counters with something that amounts to "It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it."
** Ben's wearing a motion-capture suit, and one of the spherical markers accidentally detaches and rolls away.
{{quote|
** Gwen refers to her post-teleportation headache as a ''hangover''.
** Regarding Aggregor's weapon:
{{quote|
** In "The Forge of Creation", Kevin begins to explain {{spoiler|to young Ben from the past}} where baby Alien X's come from. Gwen stops him.
** "Nor Iron Bars a Cage" had drug references.
** When she first appears in "The Transmogrification of Eunice", Eunice{{spoiler|/the Unitrix}} is in her{{spoiler|/its}} spaceship, unconscious, ''completely naked'' except for a [[Censor Steam]].
** The first part of "Revenge of the Swarm".
{{quote|
'''Ben:''' I don't understand!
'''Validus:''' Don't lie to me, Ben! A father can tell. }}
*** Considering Ben spent most of the [[Live Action Adaptation|movie]] [[She Is All Grown Up|checking her out…]]
Line 219:
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Julie showed signs of being one when Ben entered into a completely professional relationship with an attractive actress (though she obviously wanted more out of it), despite the fact that she's fully aware he was doing it to get closer to his idol, Captain Nemesis.
** Gwen does it a lot better. After the actress tries to move in on Kevin:
{{quote|
** Gwen probably shouldn't have mentioned to Charmcaster that she dated Darkstar before.
*** Darkstar made it obvious with his insistence on referring to her as "Lovely Gwen", so it would've happened anyway.
Line 227:
** The Vreedle Brothers.
* [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"]]: Ben describing his (completely professional) relationship with an actress:
{{quote|
'''Kevin:''' "Ahahaha!"
'''Ben:''' "…of our ''careers''." }}
* [[He Is All Grown Up]]: Cooper went from tiny fat kid to a tall, well-defined teenager. Especially jarring since he appeared in ''Alien Force'' in his younger form.
Line 243:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: When Galapagus says that he was in prison, Kevin says "Told you he couldn't be trusted!"… this is from the guy who was trapped in the Null Void somewhere between 1-5 years.
** When Captain Nemesis imitates Ben's [[Transformation Name Announcement]], after seeing him do it as Fourarms:
{{quote|
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: Gwen's preferred approach to try dealing with Crazy!Kevin {{spoiler|and she was right. He ''was'' in there somewhere…just not able to hold off the crazy for more than a few seconds at a time}}.
{{quote|
'''Gwen:''' Why?
'''Kevin:''' …Because I know what I'd do to you if I got the chance. }}
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Cooper's crush on Gwen has not abated in the six years since they met, but he still stepped up without hesitation to help her save Kevin, even going so far as to reassure her.
Line 268:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Sunny and Antonio. Seriously, [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action|how would that even]] ''work?''
* [[Ironic Echo]]: In an example of proving [[Not So Different]] right, Crazy!Kevin uses Darkstar's smarmy endearment for Gwen right before {{spoiler|trying to suck out all her mana}}
{{quote|
** In "Escape from Aggregor", as the Andromeda Five initially have problems getting along until one - then another - is proved competent enough to be leader.
{{quote|
* [[Ironic Echo Cut]]: "Ultimate Sacrifice:"
{{quote|
'''Kevin:''' You think he's dead? }}
* [[Irony]]: Geochelone Aerios are revealed to be immune to mana, which is the power Aggregor uses from Galapagus to render Gwen's powers useless. Some episodes later, we meet Adwaitia, who highly resembles a Geochelone Aerio; He uses magic, which is powered by Mana.
Line 282:
** They [[Word of God|KILLED Pierce,]] probably planned on killing all those aliens waiting for supplies, and Ben needed to threaten to [[Kill'Em All]] to make them leave. As in, actually say KILL. Even their appearances and weapons have become [[Darker and Edgier]]. And now, most likely Old George will wind up somehow involved with The Lucubra.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: When the series [[Running Gag]] strikes yet again:
{{quote|
'''Humongousaur''': If you're never going to give me the alien I ask for, why do you even ''have'' a dial? }}
** In "Prisoner Number 775 is Missing" Kevin asks Ben why he shouts the name of his aliens. Ben's response? To strike fear in the hearts of his enemies. Kevin deadpans that Ben can keep on believing that if he wants to.
Line 291:
** He does it again when Aggregor {{spoiler|mercilessly kills the five Andromeda aliens when he absorbs their powers. If it weren't for the fact that Aggregor was invincible, Ben probably would've killed him}}.
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: Defied by Kevin in "Perplexahedron":
{{quote|
'''Kevin:''' Great idea. That way Aggregor can pick us off one at a time. }}
* [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: Ra'ad, one of the five prisoners of Aggregor, possesses [[Shock and Awe|electrical powers]] which allow him to fire lightning blasts, transform into electricity and travel electrical devices, and even read the minds of any life form.
Line 334:
* [[Naked on Arrival]]: Eunice.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted.
{{quote|
'''Kevin:''' She's just scared of going back to Legerdemain. Because, y'know, how Charmcaster ''killed us all''. Good reason. }}
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Ben's movement scans help the Stalker counter them.
Line 367:
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: [[Subverted]] in "Double or Nothing". Albedo ''could'' have been turned back to normal, and lost his entire motivation for villainy… if the aliens he was employing [[Spanner in the Works|hadn't sabotaged his efforts]] just because they didn't want him to leave them.
* [[Power of Love]]: Temporarily gives Antonio an edge over Ben.
{{quote|
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: "There's a time to go hero, and there's a time to go ''Ultimate!''"
* [[Product Placement]]: Possibly deliberate this time; in "Reflected Glory", Gwen explicitly refers to her internet messages as [[Twitter|tweets]].
Line 384:
* [[Running Gag]]: Kevin's car still gets thrown around a lot.
** Not to mention the [[Ben 10|series]]-[[Ben 10: Alien Force|wide]] running gag that, just like the Omnitrix before it, the Ultimatrix never works right when Ben wants it to.
{{quote|
** After a long time, the Hot Dog stand running gag from the original series makes a brief reappearance in "Inspector 13", where it is, predictably, knocked down or at least destroyed.
* [[Ruritania]]: The Kingdom of Zarkovia.
Line 451:
* [[Telepathy]]: The alien Ra'ad is able to read the minds of life-forms through the electrical pulses in their brains.
* [[That Man Is Dead]]:
{{quote|
'''Goop!Ben:''' How about we call you a good therapist? }}
* [[Theme Naming]]: [[wikipedia:Azimuth|Azmuth]] and [[wikipedia:Zenith|Zenith]]. They're both named after astronomical terms.
Line 504:
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Prisoner 775 from the self titled episode. He was imprisoned for years for doing nothing more than being exiled to Earth for trying to save his homeworld from a brutal tyrant. By the time he got out, the rebellion had lost and his family was dead. With this on top of being confined to horrible conditions for whoever knows how long, one can't blame him for going on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against the one responsible for doing that to him...
** Meanwhile, {{spoiler|the last leg of Season 1 gave us Kevin, who absorbed energy to save the universe from Aggregor at the cost of his sanity and body. Lacking almost virtually any sense of control, he promptly goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against ''everyone'' that wronged him. Most of his targets did things that were quite minor, but a few actually do deserve it.}}
{{quote|
** {{spoiler|Charmcaster, after becoming a near [[Heel Face Turn]] before, becomes a near literal example of this in "Enemy of my Frenemy" when her desire to revive her father drives her to sacrifice all the souls in her home world to bring him back, and breaks down crying when he calls her out on what she'd done and is left [[Broken Bird|broken and alone.]] Even Gwen, whom she betrayed, can't bring herself to hate her after this.}}
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: Cash and J.T; the one time they're actual heroes, no one believes them.
