Exactly What I Aimed At: Subverted. While disarmed of his weapon, Niko gets his hands on one of Jackal's boomerangs. He proudly proclaims his combat mastery and gives it a toss, and Jackal turns and watches as it spirals off into the distance and vanishes...allowing Niko the chance to tackle him from behind.

Terrible Trio: Doris, Dingle, and Lump, a trio of Imposter-Possums transformed by Nar Est's magic into a three-headed cerberus-like creature. After being de-cursed by Niko, they mourn the loss of their monstrous size, and willingly (and repeatedly) return to the volcano to get re-empowered by Nar Est's magic in exchange for carrying out his orders.

How Do I Shot Web?: Niko initially has trouble activating his weapon, which comes right in the middle of facing down the monstrous Xerxes. Unfortunately, it's one of the few things for which Lyra is of no help. He manages to get it once his friends are put in danger, though.

Cardboard Prison: Rather than keeping it safe inside a prison cell, a sealed container, or just dropping it down a well, Lyra and her advisors keep Nar Est's enchanted orb of a prison sitting on a shelf in the castle's library, where he's free to roll himself loose and make a dash for freedom the moment someone forgets to close the door. and where the powerful fire opal and the key to the Forgotten Fortress are kept, allowing him instant access to both of them once a dark whisp frees him from the orb.

They're never really called out on it, but Lyra's advisors' first response to seeing Niko about to fall to his doom is to order Lyra to take his weapon and leave him there to die, only relenting when they realize they're Out of Continues and that he is humanity's last hope. It's implied that they've relied so heavily on the Chrysalis to produce new Champions that they never stopped consider the worth of each one they kept losing.

Awesome, but Impractical: The Harpsichord of Light, used by a Musical Assassin Champion. To activate it, he just needed to play it, and he was quite good at that. However, its attacks were imprecise, unable to discriminate between friend and foe. Plus, he had to physically carry it around as it was.

A Birthday, Not a Break: The second season starts out on Lyra's fifteenth birthday — the first one she's had in 768 years. Too bad she still has to deal with her queenly duties, magic lessons, keeping Niko's antics in check, and Nar Est's escape from his enchanted prison.

comment
Laser Guided Tyke Bomb: Niko is as devoted to defeating the darkness as the line of Champions before him, despite the destruction of the Chrysalis meaning he’s still just a little kid. The second season deconstructs this a bit by pointing out some of the flaws it’s left him with: a lack of purpose once the darkness has been defeated, a strict sense of Black-and-White Morality, and an inability to fit in with other, normal kids his age.

The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right: Deconstructed. After being bitten by an Exuber-Ant, some of Lyra's hyperactive ramblings and actions are revealed to carry measures of validity as the heroes explore the tunnels though it's nothing she wouldn't have said or done more reasonably if she had been in her right state of mind and her newfound deranged brashness turns out to be more of a liability than a boon.

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Niko has a sword, while one of the previous female Champions, Aura, had a bow. Niko uses frequent Sword Beam attacks though, Aura's Bow of Light was also capable of being used a melee weapon, and she used a spear when not using the shard. Another female champion also used Morningstars of Light, and Lyra herself uses a staff.

Bittersweet Ending: The second season ultimately comes to one of these. The Darkness is banished from the world for good, Nar Est is made to forget his past misdeeds, and Niko even has a chance to become a normal kid, but it comes at the cost of his memories of his friends, his past heroism, and the personality and tendencies he had as a Champion, though Sargous implies that his memories, and maybe some of his powers, might return one day.

Mutual Disadvantage: Lyra, the Champions, and Nar Est have spent the last 700 years locked into a cyclical stalemate — they continually fail to defeat him or even make it to his lair, but thanks to her magical connection to Carondolet, each time one falls, Lyra retreats to safety with the shard that Nar Est desires to obtain, waiting for a new Champion to be born.

 Niko and the Sword of Light / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: A majority of the blame for the Near-Villain Victory of Season 2 goes to the failure of Carondolet's guards to recapture Nar Est when they had the chance. Case in point: he's able to stroll through a marketplace rife with oblivious guards, all while completely defenseless, simply because he drew mustaches on all of the Wanted Posters in the area.

comment
Morph Weapon: The Shard takes different forms depending on the Champion who wields it, among them the Battle-axe, Flails, Crushing Hammer, Bow, and even the Harpsichord of Light. Niko's weapon of choice is the Sword of Light, of course, though as of Season 2, he appears able to make it assume its other forms at will.

His admiration wavers when he discovers her to be working for Nar Est, but he ultimately accepts and embraces their bond and vows upon her death to defeat the Darkness and avenge her.

The Ageless: The imprisoned humans have ceased aging for over seven hundred years. Nar Est has also remained unchanging during that time.

Black-and-White Morality: Niko is accused of viewing the world this way during the second season. It wasn’t such a bad thing during the first, where the looming darkness gave people a common enemy to rally against, but he eventually has to be taught that there are shades of grey — just because someone may act against him sometimes, that doesn’t make them an evil person by default.

comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Jackal is neither seen nor mentioned again after his escape from Umlauti custody. His fate after the defeat of Nar Est, or even throughout the duration of Season 2, is left unknown. Midway through Season 2, "The Thorn of Contention" ends on the cliffhanger of Niko being knocked unconscious, as the Dark Champion winds up to attack Lyra and the nearby Thespedorians and Brovinians. When the season resumes, the next episode opens with her having already escaped the beast, fleeing through a forest with Niko slung over one shoulder. How she managed to elude the Dark Champion and the fates of the bystanders after the conflict are both left unexplained.

Magic Feather: The climax reveals the sword/shard is more of a conduit for Niko and other Champion's power rather than the source, as after losing the sword Niko is able to summon another from the light within him. This is somewhat foreshadowed by the sword going dark but not turning back into a shard when Niko loses hold of it.

Leeroy Jenkins: Niko instinctively fights as if he's much larger, stronger, and more experienced than he actually is, probably a result of being woken up early. Sometimes, it's a sufficient stratagem, but oftentimes it just imperils him. When Lyra gets bitten and poisoned by an Exuber-Ant, she becomes even more reckless and foolhardy to the point where Niko has to be the cautious one.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?

comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: They're never really called out on it, but Lyra's advisors' first response to seeing Niko about to fall to his doom is to order Lyra to take his weapon and leave him there to die, only relenting when they realize they're Out of Continues and that he is humanity's last hope. It's implied that they've relied so heavily on the Chrysalis to produce new Champions that they never stopped consider the worth of each one they kept losing. This is discussed a bit more when the heroes visit the Tumbledowns, and Niko reminds Lyra that they should be fighting to save all creatures from Nar Est's evil, not just the humans who are imprisoned by him.

Ascended Extra: Mandok, who went from being a one-time minor character in the Pilot to a full-on supporting cast member. Though Lyra's an even bigger example as she went from being a face on a gold coin to the franchise's deuteragonist.

Chekhov's Skill: Mandok is a self-proclaimed expert when it comes to hiding from danger, so much so that Niko advises him to take his leave from their group before facing Nar Est, as he's more than proven his loyalty to them already and he isn't likely to find many safe spots inside the Cursed Volcano. Mandok ends up managing exactly that, protecting Carondolet's orb from danger while Niko faces the Darkness, Lyra fends off Nar Est, and Flicker tangles with Rasper.

Forced Transformation: Nearly all of Nar Est's monsters are normal creatures that he has transformed with his dark magic. Niko can transform them back to normal with his sword. Some are grateful, while others lament losing their fearsome forms, and one sibling trio even keep seeking him out again to be re-transformed.

Sadistic Choice: The climax of episode 2 presents Lyra with one of these — to let the last of the Champions die and return to Carondolet with the shard, which ensures her people's survival but keeps them trapped and imprisoned indefinitely, or sever her link to her kingdom so she can become corporeal and save Niko, cutting her people off from the last of their magic and dooming the entire world to darkness if he fails to defeat Nar Est. She chooses the latter.

Out of Continues: Prior to Niko's emergence, Lyra could always fall back on the fact that the Chrysalis could eventually manifest a new Champion for her to pin her hopes on if her current one got too banged up. With its destruction, Niko is the last of his line and if he falls, Nar Est's victory is assured.

Magic Staff: After gaining a staff (albeit unbreakable) in episode two, Lyra adds the Ovid of Delphinus to it in episode three. At first it just acts as a compass for the Pools of Destiny, but later Lyra learns it has the power to absorb and redirect energy. The Ovid is eventually smashed apart during the battle against Nar Est, but by the second season, Lyra has it replaced with a fire opal with which she can practice real magic.

Evil Knockoff: Nar Est creates a Sword of Darkness for his battle with Niko. Having no real swordfighting experience, he is unable to use it properly, and Lyra ends up breaking it with her staff. In season 2 Nar Est manages to use the remains of the Chrysalis Niko and the other Champions were made in to create a Champion of Darkness. Unlike the Sword of Darkness, it's much more effective.

Cassandra Truth: Niko spends the first two episodes of the second season trying to convince everyone that the bug he keeps seeing is an agent of darkness, while Lyra and her advisors assume he's just having trouble adjusting now that his role as a Champion is through. (Not helping is that this isn't the first time he's raised the alarm like this, apparently.) Of course, Niko turns out to be right, and the darkness succeeds at freeing Nar Est from his prison before they can stop it.

Hoist by His Own Petard
 Niko and the Sword of Light / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: Nar Est is so engorged with dark energy that Niko's typical Darkness Begone attack just diminishes him instead of depowering him like it does with his minions. This proves to be his undoing when Niko banishes the Darkness from the planet, resulting in Nad Est and Rasper being dragged into and trapped within the shrinking Well of Darkness when everything else they corrupted is simply freed of their cursed state. And if Nar Est could have kept his mouth shut, Niko might not have even gotten the idea to do that! Aura's attempt to use her bow as a melee weapon against Niko backfires as he can use it to fire arrows back at her since he's a Champion himself. In that same vein, the destruction she wreaks upon the Pools of Destiny during their battle ultimately gets her crushed to death.

The Unfettered: Lyra, and by extension the Champions of Light, prioritize defeating Nar Est and freeing the trapped humans above all else, no matter the cost. Niko, however, strives to help anyone in need of aid, and through adventuring with him, Lyra is shocked at just how much she had ignored the world around her all these centuries in pursuit of her mission.

Red Herring: It's initially implied that the Exuber-Ant Queen is the dreaded Diggantus. She isn't. The token Niko receives after his adventure on the Caterpillar Train. It's treated as though it will be important or useful to him later on, akin to the bronzewood seeds he obtained back in season one, but it doesn't come back into play at all.

Just Desserts: Nar Est gets this dealt to him twice over the course of the series; the first is after Niko defeats the Darkness in Season 1, and he's left imprisoned in the same enchanted orb in which he'd imprisoned all of humanity, although his is even smaller. Then, in season 2, he tries to channel the protective magic of the Forgotten Fortress into Lyra, only for her to destroy the Amulet of Power, causing the spell to backfire and curse him with amnesia instead.

Dark Is Evil: The Darkness is pretty much the de facto force of evil in all three incarnations of this story.
