Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters is an Animesque Western Animation based on the Duel Masters franchise.The show's history is as follows: thousands of years ago, numerous creatures roamed the earth, each hailing from one of five Civilizations: Fire, Water, Nature, Darkness, and Light. The various myths of this world were given form due to the aforementioned creatures, from dragons and sea-serpents to even UFOs.At first, these creatures lived side-by-side with humans and everything was peaceful. Until eventually, certain creatures began to feel that man was growing too powerful too fast and started pulling for them to be enslaved. Thus began the Creature Wars which lasted for centuries. Said wars would understandably mar the present day outlook on the humans side toward creatures.Seeing the inevitability of the wars tearing the world apart, five shaman warriors joined together. Each representing one of the five Civilizations, they preformed what is called Kaijudo, which means "Way of the Strange Beast/(Creature)". They proceeded to strip the power from the five Creature Rulers and used it to create a parallel dimension know as the Kaiju Realm that is protected from earth by a barrier called the Veil, where creatures reside in to this day.And, just like that, the Creature Wars ended, and life began to evolve into what it is today.These five shaman warriors took the near powerless bodies of the Creature Rulers and, putting them into a deep sleep, hid them deep underground. Henceforth, The Order of the Kaijudo Duel Masters began. Their charge was to make sure the Creature Rulers stayed in hibernation and also to guard the Veil, making sure nothing came out and keeping the earth and its people ignorant that such things as "monsters" ever existed.Fast forward to the present day. The Veil is weakening and creatures are coming through. The current generation of Duel Masters are kept busy sending the wayward beasts back home and sealing the rifts they came through, all the while not aware of what this could possibly foretell…Our hero is fourteen year-old Raiden 'Ray' Pierce-Okamoto, who, along with his mom and grandpa, has just moved into a new apartment. Somewhat introspective and often bullied for his mixed heritage, he often longs for something more, as if he knows there's another whole world out there. This leads him to be on the "dreamy" side.On his way home from school with his best friends, Allison 'Allie' Underhill and Gabriel 'Gabe' Wallace, his encounter with some bullies leads him to summon forth a Rumbling Terrasuar like the one he sketched the previous night from out of nowhere just by calling its name that he didn't even know. One thing leads to another, and the group ends up meeting a mysterious young man named Hector Chavez who then proceeds to rescue them by taking them on a short trip to the dangerous Kaiju Realm. This, of course, leads to the kids being shocked and upset when they get out. Chavez decides that the best way to explain would be to invite the kids to where he works, The Temple of the Kaijudo Duel Masters, of which he is one of those Masters.This in turn leads Ray to his destiny (Gabe and Allie as well, even if they don't realize it yet) and it leads us to this show.Kaijudo: Rise of The Duel Masters is an In Name Only Continuity Reboot, with nothing in common with the original Japanese franchise (let alone the anime or its Gag Dub of the first series). Well, except for many of the creatures, some of which have a "same creature different look" kinda feel. The worst part? Some creatures were borrowed from the newer Japanese cards.The tie-in TCG was released around June 2012, under the name of Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters TCG.When the Hub refused to pick up a third season, Kaijudo ended on an open ending on August 29, 2014, the same day the TCG was discontinued, and the series' website was closed down on December 3, 2014. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism: In spite of being told by the masters that the kaiju are the source of ancient myths and legends, Allie still didn't believe that Bigfoot is real, claiming the video evidence was "a guy in a gorilla suit". Bigfoot later turned out to be a kaiju and the masters had been trying to track down since ancient times. | |

Ancient Artifact: Each of the five civilizations has one powerful artifact, originally owned by the Creature Ruler Kings themselves. They each seem to be some form of Instant Allegiance Artifact and, as one would expect, The Choten's after all of them. They are as follows: Fire Civilization: The Sword of Fiery Cataclysm Water Civilization: The Helm of Ultimate Technology Nature Civilization: The Shield of Unity Darkness Civilization: The Cloak of Dark Illusion Light Civilization: The Heart of Light | |

The amnesia is so easy in fact that the good and bad guys both use Cyber Viruses liberally to control who knows what, especially in regards to regular humans as seen when The Choten has Alakshmi and Heller take over the bank to get the Helm of Ultimate Technology. It happens to Heller at the end towards the end of the episode via the Duel Masters. In fact, Master Brightmore threatened to do the same to Ray, Gabe, and Allie during the episode "Night Moves" after their prank against Portia and Maribel go completely awry. Though Gabe points out in a babble that that's no longer possible thanks to the immunity granted to them by the Cyber Lords as reward for saving the Helm of Ultimate Technology in "In the Deep Part II". | |

Magical Security Cam: Nigel's aptly named "Stalker Spheres" which are totally not spy cameras. Possibly justified by the Stalker Spheres being mobile rather than stationary… They can be hovering anywhere, so what's to say they wouldn't see the same things the audience does? Master Jaha's Ghost Spies serve a similar role. | |

| Kaijudo / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Though Gabe and Allie do put up the best fight they can, Alakshmi and Razorkinder quite frankly owns them. Ray fairs slightly better, but since he squandered his mana summoning Bob for menial labor, he isn't that useful himself. Razorkinder is defeated eventually, but Alakshmi still gets away with Hissie in the end. Though Hissie is rescued later on and Ray does curb-stomp Alakshmi in "The Siphon" after upgrading his Gauntlet. Its not long after that she falls from The Choten's good graces. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| Kaijudo / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: The masters' "No Touching the Monsters" rule is such that Jaha chastised Hector for summoning a monster to fly them to rescue the kids in the Fire Civilization as "picking up the kids' bad habits" instead of walking through desert/lava landscape when they were on a tight schedule. Had Hector not done this, they wouldn't have been able to pull a Big Damn Heroes and save the kids from being killed/recaptured. | |

Butt-Monkey: Early on, due to her using creatures of types she wasn't experienced with, Allie never seemed to be able to keep a creature summoned for long before it was defeated. This lessens after she partners with Squeaky, but she still does loose her rather quickly at times. Fingers pokes fun at Alakshmi's many recent failures with The Choten showing great displeasure in them. | |

Combat Pragmatist: Trickery and deceit are the ways of darkness and those who are aligned with that realm tend to use such tactics. Whether it's Allie disguising herself as Alakshmi to fool The Choten Choten, Razorkinder Puppet attacking his duelist Alakshmi when her back is turned, Megaria taking on the form of Allie's and Alakshmi's mothers to screw with their heads, or Jaha faking a betrayal just to defeat traitor Master Nigel when his back is turned. | |

Easy Amnesia: Master Nadia's Cyber Viruses, which she uses to control who knows what knowledge.

Though Gabe points out in a babble that that's no longer possible thanks to the immunity granted to them by the Cyber Lords as reward for saving the Helm of Ultimate Technology in "In the Deep Part II". It turns out that the Choten has access to Saguru's missing memories. He uses them to barter (later blackmail) services from him. Unknown to Saguru, he took them in the first place. | |

BlackAndGreyMorality | |
| Kaijudo / int_588d766f | comment |
Black-and-Grey Morality: Downplayed, but this is still visible in the opposition between the two sides; the Duel Masters see the creatures as dangerous weapons and follow a code of conduct when using them. One rule, for example, forbids the duelist from touching a kaiju. Another rule prevents the duelist from befriending the kaiju. (Through their interactions with Ray, Gabe, and Allie, some of Duel Masters have a change of heart.) In any case, the Duel Masters are still better than The Choten, who just wants to control all kaiju to serve his selfish purposes. The kids seem to be moving the Gray towards the White with their surprisingly effective tactic of befriending their kaiju. | |

Big Eater | |
| Kaijudo / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: An Extreme Omnivore creature know as a Burn Belly; it consumes anything flammable than belches fire. After being injected with The Choten's mutagenic serum, any time they belch fire, they multiply. When the gang captures them in a container with a vacuum, one of the Burn Bellies eats the rest and transforms into Om Nom Nom, a giant, ferocious version of the Burn Belly. Midnight Crawler takes the Extreme Omnivore trope to new heights by literally eating everything from plants and other creatures to entire tracts of land. | |

Crippling Overspecialization: Ray's actually called out on this by Brightmore for wanting to summon Tatsurion/Bob for the specifically stealthy capture of a flying monster, Ray gets flustered and does it anyway, goes temporarily blind for it along with Bob, but of course, gets better and more varied in his approach so the lesson sticks. The entire council are guilty of this, relying on one monster above all others. The Choten realizes this, and summons them before summoning the Monarchs. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Heroes and villains view the kaiju of the creature civilizations differently. The Choten lampshades, where his side sees kaiju as living batteries/slaves/tools to be controlled and used. The Duel Masters take a more naturalist approach, while following a code of conduct when using kaiju. Only Ray and his friends think otherwise, which is becoming a plot point. | |

Needless to say, after Saguru learned who he really was, he was very...displeased. | |

Hollywood Tactics | |
| Kaijudo / int_a6b14ee1 | comment |
Hollywood Tactics: A person with a duel gauntlet and sufficient mana theoretically can summon a creature (kaiju) if he or she knows the creature's name. After The Choten perfects his kaiju mind control collar, why doesn't he just summon and capture all of the Heroes' and Duel Masters' primary creatures instead of waiting until episode 25 to do it? Prior to episode 24, the Heroes' and Duel Masters did not know where The Choten's base was. He probably wanted to wait until they were off-guard or something. | |

Viewers Are Morons: The only possible explanation for the creation of this franchise instead of bringing back the actual Duel Masters franchise.note Which didn't fare any better during its brief time in North America, due to the first anime series receiving a Gag Dub, and an outright Macekre of the second due to the first 26 episodes being reduced to 13, as well as a gag dub (with an American-only series created in between). Furthermore, later North American Duel Masters cards start having flavor text based on writing used for the gag dub. | |

Ghost Extras: In episode 25, "The Rising, Part I," Toji and a few temple acolytes are in a group with the heroes preparing to attack The Choten's base. However, there are no scenes where they actually participate in the battle that ensues (they don't summon anything, they are not being attacked, they don't talk, and nobody speaks to them). However, this group of extras is seen behind the heroes when they are all cornered. | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Even though Fingers failed to steal the creature tablets, the creatures he set free for the diversion that weren't re-imprisoned are just more creatures The Choten can add to his arsenal. | |

High-Heel–Face Turn | |
| Kaijudo / int_b63019a5 | comment |
High-Heel–Face Turn: Alakshmi was a female villain in Season 1, but she leaves The Choten's side at the end of Season 1. Eventually in Season 2, through a series of events, she becomes a probationary acolyte with the Duel Masters. | |

Berserk Button: The Cyber Lords of the Council of Lagos hate being called "babies". Abusive Parents, especially fathers, really piss Tatsurion off more than he usually is. | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal | |
| Kaijudo / int_bce728ca | comment |
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Alakshmi betrays The Choten for finding out The Choten's real plan (Alakshmi thought The Choten was going to tell the town about his triumph. Instead, The Choten launched Cyber Viruses to brainwash the townspeople and prepare them for the new world order.) and later being hurled off the elevated platform for failing to retrieve the Sword of Fiery Cataclysm from Allie. Being thrown off the elevated platform was the more likely trigger for the betrayal. Moorna, Gatling Dragon bullied Tatsurion all his life and then tricked him into raiding his own mother village and had him arrested for defending his mother. Later, Moorna broke up her engagement with Brutalus after he lost his wings. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Kaijudo / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several of the course of the series (Allie's "Get away from her, you witch!", for example). The school dance in "The Unbearable Being of Lightness" is a massive homage to Carrie. Put together a couple of lines between Allie and Gabe in "Extracurricular Activities" for a shout out to The Subtle Knife. Allie once donned a Cloak that would swallow up anything and grant her power, and she is also associated with Darkness. This reminds you of a certain someone with the same description? "Okay, so you were gone for the last couple years at Wizard School and learned to make drawings come to life from your sketchbook?" A kid named Kevin uses power to get revenge on those who did him wrong. Nigel looks a lot like an Anti-Snape. Grey Delisle voices a sadistic, fire-themed girl. The Choten's Ship in "Siege" looks like Helicarrier. Also, in "Fallout", the kids have to gather together an unlikely bunch to stop an invasion, consisting of muscles, technology, a soldier, and they are all from different worlds than Earth. Some of the main bullies consist of a fat guy and a skinny one. The Choten's invasion with his Evolved Creature Army to Earth looks very similar to when a large ship invaded the city Optimus envisioned the worst-case scenario if Megatron had an Undead Army to take over Earth. The Choten says that his friend has "seen the light". Change-O-Bots. | |

Monochrome Casting: Averted. The cast, both heroes and villains, are ethnically diverse. It was also brought up as a plot point regarding half-Japanese/half-white main character Ray and a racist bully. | |

Animesque | |
| Kaijudo / int_db08a39d | comment |
Animesque: Interestingly, the art director, David Coleman, said, among other things, that the main characters were designed with shapes in mind. Triangles for Ray since he's proactive, squares for Gabe since it's balanced like how he prefers things, and circles for Allie with occasional sharp corners to show her general soft and pacifistic nature, unless you get her really mad. Their main creatures, Bob, Gargle, and Squeaky respectively follow the same patterns. To compound this, both animation studios behind this show (Moi Animation and DR Movie) are owned by Madhouse. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Kaijudo / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Master Nadia to Master Chavez considering the frequent slips of calling him Hector, using his Gilaflame without his awareness/permission and being the one to call him out of his meditation (and catch him afterwards) in "The Siphon." The two get another moment like this later, when Master Chavez tackles Nadia down to save her from an impending attack. Later on, when Nadia needs to take Allie's dad back to Earth, Chavez calls Nadia by her first name. There's Ray and Allie when they go to the school dance and summon creatures from the same civilization simultaneously and remark about it. And they end up rescuing each other from their respective civilizations! Later on, we get the pairing of Gabe and Sasha, Channeler of Light. They go through the tunnel of love together! At the end of episode 26, Master Chavez and Nadia kiss, and Ray and Allie hold hands: a tease no more. At least until the second season where Ray is oblivious to Allie's feelings. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
| Kaijudo / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: In spite of the masters having an army of light creatures that can be used as surveillance drones all over the world, somehow, ever since just after the war with the kaiju, they weren't able to find the kaiju that had come to be known as "Bigfoot" until the main characters saw footage on the news. Having not come into proper contact with humans since the war, *he wasn't even aware the war had ended* or that his people were on the other side of the veil, believing himself to be the last of his kind, while also believing what few kaiju are left were enslaved by the practitioners of kaijudo (ironically, The Choten doesn't even show up). | |
