Animal Superheroes: The Running Man has their special abilities, but Kuga is praised as the most popular player in the game. This is gradually implied when Charming Gold is up to something bad and they need to stop him.

comment
It's also based on the variety show of the same name, and while the variety show is rather lighthearted and humorous in nature with no real long-term consequences for anybody, this show... is nowhere near that. Anyone Can Die is in full effect, and the aforementioned apocalypse looms over everyone's heads, for a given example.

Darker and Edgier: From Episode 15 until the Finale because of the plot twist. Also, the brutal history of the great war right before the competition was imposed by the tribe leaders. And not to mention, cruel animal experiments and the mention of an incoming apocalypse. This might surprise viewers for a kid's show that came from Korea. It's also based on the variety show of the same name, and while the variety show is rather lighthearted and humorous in nature with no real long-term consequences for anybody, this show... is nowhere near that.

Artistic License – Biology: The Soul Tree has its basis in the Mangrove tree. However, the Mangrove tree grows on swamp or saltwater coasts. Based on the stories that the characters presented, the Soul Tree grew on land instead of on the waters. The location where the Mangrove trees are present is in southeast Asia. Some of the characters who are based on their animal selves have different anatomy and features.

Being Tortured Makes You Evil: After years of bullying and being discriminated by his peers and his family just because he looks ugly or a monster, Charming Gold becomes the Big Bad. The former champions or famous people from different tribes are kidnapped by Charming Gold and were experimented on by being forced to ingest a drug into their systems. They are now brainwashed and are stronger than the Running Man team.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 Running Man (Animation) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Instead of the antagonist experiencing this, it's the main characters who had to suffer. Pala, right after he plugged the fake artifact, gets blasted by Ulcus' rays before he could see what's going on. Gai doing his last Heroic Sacrifice and got hit. Miyo had to watch his death even though he was smiling. Both Miyo and Kuga have the cruelest on-screen death even without the blood. Right after they fell down from Ulcus, the God of Earth lifted his foot... and stepped on them on screen. Meanwhile, Lonky sacrificed his life to save Popo from death. As a result, he died from getting hit by the red ray. The only survivors left right before Popo restarts the timeline was him and Liu.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Pala when he won the Hammer Bingo Game. Right after he shouted Bingo, he smirked and faced the camera. But while he talked to the audience, his voice cuts off as the screen blacks out and the end credits start to roll. This would also make sense since they're still in a reality competition

Failed a Spot Check: Granted, Gai did get caught in the heat of the moment, but not noticing Pala when he’s beside you is just crazy. That’s all fine and good as he is trying to win, but leaving your emblem, I.e the only thing that can oust you with Pala is just outright stupid.

comment
Mythology Gag: This show has this in spades: The incident during the ttakji match has a parallel in the original series: A supposedly unflippable ttakji flipped by Jong Kook/Kuga with little to no effort. Another when Jong Kook/Kuga had bells attached to them when he played the role as the Hunter. An odd scenario when Ji Hyo once betrayed her teammates in favor of keeping her nametag, similar to Lonky when he made a deal with Kuga for the same reason. Kwang Soo/Lonky were both looking for a bathroom in the Prison Escape Game. Jae Seok/Liu getting dragged into a cell from both versions of the series.

Fantastic Drug: The crystal that possessed Pala in the Team Change Battle is actually a substance mixed by Dr. Mala that was used to brainwash Gai in a form of a gas mask. Which is pretty ironic. Some of the potions that Pala makes increase the ability of the player, but it wears them down by the time is over.

Awful Truth: Different tribes had several interpretations of how the God of Earth created the world. But most of the story is a lie that Ulcus shoved the truth to the main characters of what truly happened if the war restarts. Before Ulcus appears, there are seven slates that are hidden within Charming Gold's laboratory. Miyo and Dr. Mala are able to decipher them and they are horrified from the last one. If the Soul Tree is shattered. The 'savior' ends the whole world and restarts a new one, killing millions of innocent lives that had nothing to do with the game.

Crapsaccharine World: In a kid's show. At first, it was all about seven people competing for a game, and then it digs deeper into the lore of the world they live in. What they found out wasn't pretty, not pretty at all. Especially when their home is being watched by a God that will destroy the world at the sight of war and corruption by the people at any minute. Ulcus will not hesitate to kill if it means restarting the world like nothing bad happened.

Blasting It Out of Their Hands

comment
Blasting It Out of Their Hands: Gai uses his shurikens as his weapon when fighting against the D.V 7. Kuga with his Super Paw attack as he was able to overload Charming Gold's mecha if he's confident enough to do it. Meanwhile, Liu is armed with a gun which he shoots with precision and can sometimes use to outsmart his enemies. Such as when he shoots the concrete pillars with his gun and uses the third bullet as a diversion. Gai ended up getting buried underneath the pillars that Liu shot at.

Downer Ending: Find the Golden Key note  Lonky, Popo, and Pala betrayed the others. Kuga, Gai, and Liu tried to stop them from escaping to no avail. The three became the victors and continued to play in Prison Pursuit. Gaining Grounds note  While Miyo saved Gai, Liu discovered that D.V 1 is actually his sister, Shan, whom he thought was dead. Shan hurt her brother and took Gai's mask. Liu is unable to stop Shan from leaving him, resulting in him bursting into tears. They became the winners of the Zone Battle. Battle of the Thrones note  Operation Thunderstorm almost worked as Popo came out of hiding and reaches Shan's tag. However, the Running Man team is subdued and Shan instead ripped Popo's tag as the true King. The D.V 7 became the winners of the first finals round. The Materion note  Charming Gold has gone berserk and tried to steal the Materion. But this destroys the tree, and the so-called 'Savior' returns... in a bad way.

And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: Whoever wins the championship will get a piece of the Soul Tree's fruit, Materion. The Materion is a part of the Soul Tree's energy core which could give powers to different tribes. However, Charming Gold is getting greedy and doesn't want to share it with anyone.

Combat Breakdown: Especially that it's not a game anymore and they have to fight to save the world. The prominent one is in the episode What Makes A Hero, where they fight their doppelgangers to get the required artifact. They succeed in their test by reaching their limits. For example, Popo used a time card to win but he aged backward as a result.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture
 Running Man (Animation) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Applies to many of the tribes the seven contestants have. It is said that it is inspired by Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cultures. Impa Tribe residents are alchemists who didn't participate in the championship much. Some of Pala's equipment are machines and his clothes seemed to be inspired by the steampunk era and Chinese alchemy combined. It is said that Black Magic is forbidden and anyone who practices it will result in getting their horns chopped off. Peng Tribe, based on Popo's character description and the way he dressed, are magicians in a modern setting possibly from South Korea. There's even a strong belief in the culture of tarot cards in one scene, where he read a card makes him think that he will not do well in a match note  this is right before Lonky, Pala, and Popo betrayed the others. Mong Tribe has a culture based on the Japanese ninja setup. This probably makes sense considering his role as the game's mole in the series. Nyanya Tribe were said to be "communicating with the gods and spirits" and there are Chinese-inspired patterns in her room. There's also the part where her species as a cat has a connection to Chinese and Japanese superstitions the most. Giraf Tribe are the surviving nations from the war. Lonky's "uniform" (which is technically a jacket) has designs based on a military uniform of the royals. Bars Tribe that is accompanied with a traditionally themed leitmotif for Kuga. His room is filled with banners, weapons including a Mu Ren Zhuang (a Chinese wooden dummy), and posters. The banners have foreign writing that could be similar to Japanese writing, especially there's a red stamp (called a Hanko) on one banner that says "人コ". Bug Tribe have people good with technology. And yet, they are known for farming. Asia is known to agriculture and, at the same time, had references from the industrial revolution note since Liu and his sister wear an aviator suit from the steampunk era .

The Reveal
 Running Man (Animation) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: Oh boy. Charming Gold is an immortal who lived thousands of years from the Pikok Tribe. He was bullied by his peers and his parents were ashamed that their son was 'cursed by the gods' because of his 'monstrous' face. When he was able to discover his powers, Charming Gold took it upon himself in creating the new race. He's been a host of the Running Man championship for so long and he's been making experiments on the Soul Tree with the exiled Dr. Mala. The whole game is rigged by Charming Gold. He had an agreement with the Mong Tribe by making their chosen player, Gai, win. The D.V 7 are the seven tribe residents who are best in their specified abilities. They were kidnapped by Charming Gold and were experimented with the Amplifier Drug that made them brainwashed. The D.V 7 is the last resort after Gai quits being Charming Gold's spy, this is in order for the Running Man to lose so that the Materion will remain in the mastermind's hands along with the Soul Tree. The former champion of the Bug Tribe and Liu's older sister, Shan, disappeared because Charming Gold kidnapped her. For this reason, Liu took her place. True story of the Soul Tree. Ulcus, the so-called "God of Earth", created life by becoming the Soul Tree. The tree became the symbol of strength to the seven tribes until they waged a war caused by greed. This made the Soul Tree shattered and destroyed the land into nothingness. The Soul Tree's fruit, Materion, was able to give life once more to the land. And because of the event, the seven tribes had a peace treaty by making the Running Man championship in hopes of preventing the same mistake from the war.

When Shan removed his tag, the crown is absent. The real plan is to let the D.V 7 expose who their King was, subdue them, and let the real King rip the tag out.

 Running Man (Animation) / int_8e6a882b

Prison Episode: There are three games that are inspired by this: The first one is the Bell Hunter Game. The six members will have to retrieve the marbles in order to win the match. Meanwhile, Kuga, who actually hid the marbles, is the one who will tag the team out when get caught. Bonus when he's waiting in a laser cage before the game starts. The second is the Prison Escape. Liu knew that something fishy is about to happen when all seven were trapped in laser cages. The game mechanic is to free themselves from prison and get on top without having the attention of the 'robot police'. Third is the hidden game called Escape Game. The contestants witnessed a 'murder' scene on the train, and a cop (who is actually an actor and part of the game) accuses them of being the culprit and handcuffs them as part of the handicap of the game. The real game begins when the corpse rises as a 'zombie' and started to infect everyone. Only Gai and Miyo were able to survive and win the game. The finals round is called Pyramid Pursuit which comes after the Find The Golden Key Game. Right after Popo, Lonky, and Pala betrayed the others, they are in the lead of winning the finals. The game goes on when two teams; Gai and Kuga, Miyo and Liu, are the Police team and they have to catch the Fugitive Team which is the three became. And they have to reach the top and place the Golden Key in order to win the finals.

The Psycho Rangers: In Battle for the Highgrounds game, Charming Gold twisted the rules after Gai performed a Face–Heel Turn to him. Thus, assigning seven more contestants who are competing against the running man. They are called the D.V 7.

This is because that was how their original tribes interpreted it. The correct story is actually Miyo's as she heard from her family.

Apocalypse How: From the war itself, it's a Class 1. The tribe leaders wanted to stop the devastation by making the Running Man Championship. But Charming Gold has other plans in recreating mankind. And then it went intensely when Charming Gold attempts to make a Class 3A apocalypse to make a new race. That's until it backfired and the Soul Tree shattered. It is noticeably slowly going up, starting from Class 5. And then it went even further as Class X. Nice going Charming Gold, you almost destroyed the world without a Reset Button.

Bewildering Punishment: Because of his attitude and his 'strategy' to win a game, Lonky had to face multiple even if he deserves it. An example is when he (and Popo) picked Kuga as the leader of the Team Change Battle's Blue Team when the two betrayed Liu after he thought they were going to join him. But because Kuga's team had too many players, the two leaders will have to pick which teammate they were going to choose instead. As punishment for what they did, Liu picked Lonky and Popo.

The first time the Out Hand pulls Gai to the out zone during the Bell Hunter.The dramatic music plays as Gai is pulled in , and when he throws his marbles to Miyo, Lonky comes in and an upbeat music starts to play.

A True Story in My Universe: Tribe, actually. Popo, Gai, Lonky, Pala, and Liu are arguing about which of the interpretations of how the God of Earth created their world by turning into a Soul Tree. The Bug Tribe worships the God Of Earth. And in return, gave life in the land. The Giraf Tribe exploits the God Of Earth by their "sharp divine tongue". The Peng Tribe cried until the God Of Earth turns into a Soul Tree. Both the Mong Tribe and Impa Tribe harvest the Soul Tree instead. Only the Nyanya tribe got the correct one.

But it got complicated because Pala has been possessed by the red crystal. Not only their plan didn't work, but Liu and Pala won the match instead of Kuga.

Artistic License – Chemistry: Pala and Dr. Mala's alchemy in the series. The Impa tribe is known for making potions. The portable use of carrying and mixing ingredients is a staff with only one glass vial on top of it. What is odd is when they mix by shaking it. Of course, Dr. Mala has a more advanced staff than Pala has since there's a mechanized mixer inside of it and is connected to a tube to where the D.V 7 have slept.

comment
Artistic License – Pharmacology: Pala and Dr. Mala's alchemy is mostly involved mixing herbs to make medicine. The crystal that Dr. Mala used to make a liquid drug named "The Amplifier" that brainwashed the D.V 7 and Gai is related to a real-life drug called The Devil's Breath or Scopolamine. The Devil's Breath is a drug from Colombia that is close to hypnotizing a victim that they either won't remember anything when it wears off or are forced to do something bad while being aware and conscious about it. No wonder the crystal is red Meanwhile the energizing potion that Pala and Dr. Mala made has a temporary effect on the user. Where they have more energy to fight the D.V 7 within a time limit like a 'High', this costs their remaining energy when it wears off similar to a 'Crash'. What's more, is that some characters (except for Lonky and Pala) use it only once. The answer? Methamphetamine.

Cassandra Truth: Happened two times Popo accused Liu of working with Kuga in order to win the competition. Liu had no idea what Popo was talking about and he ended up getting locked in a closet. In reality, it’s actually Lonky who works for Kuga and framed Liu so he wouldn't get tagged out. However, Kuga ripped Lonky's shield anyway. In the aftermath of the Pyramid Pursuit game, Lonky, Popo, and Pala accused Miyo of being the spy. She releases her claws and scratched their faces just to make a point that she's not.

The Team: The seven main characters, who rotate roles sometimes. Liu may appear to be The Smart Guy. However, he's The Leader. Kuga is not only The Big Guy. But, surprisingly, he's also The Lancer to Liu when it comes to morals and style of strategies. Miyo is The Heart but there are times when she's The Smart Guy also. Both Pala and Popo belonged to The Smart Guy trope. Lonky along with Gai are The Trickster.

Once the remaining contestants, him, Miyo, and Kuga, were able to figure out how gravity works, they can lure the D.V 7 into their trap. Winning the Zone Battle game.
