Line 6:
Along with Corona, Igneous, Prince Lumen, Princess Sparkle, and the former wanderer Magma, Hunter fights against Mantid and his Insector army, trying the prevent them from collecting the four Oracle Keys.
A rather underrated anime, due to its strange title and premise, a broadcast cut short on American TV, and its [[Genre Busting
There is also a novel series, online game, and canceled manga as part of the franchise.
Line 34:
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Hunter, {{spoiler|who even reaches the point of wanting to save the Invectids/Insectors, after realizing that they're being wronged and oppressed}}.
* [[Cosmic Keystone]]: The Oracle Keys
* [[Cry for
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: Katydid fits into this trope, but Beerain subverts it.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]:The spiders themselves, also. {{spoiler|It takes being brought directly into Mantid's citadel for Hunter to finally grasp what his "enemies," who live in a world of darkness, are really fighting for. Of course, Mantid himself turns out to be insane anyway}}.
Line 47:
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Stags is seen briefly in the first two episodes, but has no significant role until the 14th
* [[The Emperor]]: Mantid, although the specific term isn't mentioned in the dub. {{spoiler|Buguese probably becomes this at the end}}.
* [[The End of the World
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Redheads]]: Beerain
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: U.S. dub, "Calling All Spider Riders"
Line 56:
* [[Facial Markings]]: The Insectors/Invectids have them. Whether they're genetic or painted is never bought up.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Between humans and Insectors/Invectids.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]: Mantid and the Big Four fit this perfectly. I guess that would make Aqune the [[Sixth Ranger
* [[Finishing Move]]: Any of Hunter's Oracle Key attacks
* [[Flying Dutchman]]: The Lost Mariner.
Line 97:
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Corona and Aqune. But At least we get to find out most of Corona's.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Any of the spiders
* [[Oddly
* [[Older Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|Mantid}}.
* [[The Only One]]: The Arachnian military is generally incompetent, leaving the Spider Riders to bail them out on occasions.
* [[Only One Name]]: Everyone from the Inner World. The dub gave Grasshop a full name, though.
* [[The Pawn]]: {{spoiler|The Big Four and Aqune}}.
* [[Raised
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Sparkle.
* [[Reincarnation]]: According to original plans for the series, Aqune was the Oracle's reincarnation. Because the plot was [[What Could Have Been|changed so much]], there's no way of telling if that's still true.
Line 112:
* [[Seashell Bra]]: Aqune's transformed outfit.
* [[Shrines and Temples]]
* [[Spell My Name
** Aqune is Aquine in the online game. Her name is often mistakenly written as Akune or Aquna by the fans.
** Igneous's name in became Ignus in the anime (the dub bought it back to Igneous, as it was in the novels) because it was easier for the Japanese to pronounce.
Line 163:
* [[Romantic Runner-Up]]: Igneous
* [[Save Both Worlds]]: Averted! The [[Big Bad]] ''says'' that he intends on conquering the Outer World, but he's defeated before he can even get there. Considering that this is an anime that involves a boy from earth getting [[Trapped in Another World|sucked into a subterranean world beneath our own]], the fact that we didn't even see some [[Everything Is Online|strange phenominon]] going on in the outer world, this is rather unique.
* [[Shipper
* [[Take My Hand]]: Towards the end {{spoiler|Beerain saves Buguese in this way. Also, Hunter offers his hand to Mantid, which he actually does except}}.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: in one episode, Aqune hums the 2nd ED theme
