Sym-Bionic Titan was an animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Paul Rudish and Bryan Andrews for Cartoon Network.A hybrid of high school drama and giant robot battles, Sym-Bionic Titan follows the adventures of three beings from the planet Galaluna: Princess Ilana, her bodyguard Lance, and their Robot Buddy Octus. Escaping from their home from the advance of the powerful General Modula, they crash-land in Sherman, Illinois and pose as high school students. However, Modula's forces have followed in pursuit and now they must defend their new home from his many monsters with their mechs. The trio also must deal with the enigmatic Solomon, as well as the brash General Steel.Has a recap page.Sym-Bionic Titan was cancelled on March 29, 2011 due to Cartoon Network being unable to acquire a toy license, and in September 2014, the network officially wrote off the show for financial purposes. Supposedly, this meant the show would no longer be able to air online or on television in any form. Fortunately, that changed in 2018, when Ilana and Octus (in his Newton form) briefly appeared in the "Crossover Nexus" episode of OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, with the former getting a brief line due to her VA Tara Strong already being in the special as Raven and Ben 10.On December 15, 2019, the entire series was made available for streaming on Netflix, but was taken off a year later. | |

Aliens Speaking English And if Octus' scans are right, they breathe similar gases, too. If we think that the king explicity sent his daughter to that particular planet, we can consider that just because our planet is like Galaluna, he sent her to Earth. All of the Mutraddi (the intelligent ones anyway) speak English as well. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: This is one of several new Cartoon Network shows that has no problem using the word "death". It's also this as a whole compared to Genndy Tartokovsky's previous works (except maybe Samurai Jack, but those were Mecha-Mooks). The fact that it airs in Prime Time means that they can probably get away with a lot more since Cartoon Network is paying more attention to their Periphery Demographic these days. The first episode starts with Lance slaughtering a few dozen infantrymen and a tank or two before Ilana informs him the Faceless Mooks he's been killing are humanoid. Plus there was that opening scene in "Shaman of Fear" with all the drowning people. "Escape from Galaluna" had Lance battling a traitor during the Invasion. At the final part of the battle he catches the traitor's sword with a ROCK then he jams his own sword right into the traitor's gut. "A Family Crisis" is where the show has a main character death, that of Octus. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills The reason for Lance's and Ilana's "sibling" spat in "Elephant Logic." "The Fortress of Deception" might have gone a lot better if a) G3 hadn't been so aggressive towards the team and b) if the team had answered their questions. In "Shadows of Youth," the Whole Episode Flashback to when Lance is at the Academy, he's bullied by Baron relentlessly until he shows his skills off in a suicide scenario. Baron decides to murder him with his two cronies following, and Lance is forced to get into a mech just to defend himself. Yet... he gets all the blame in the end since he didn't just speak out, try to get out stealthfully, and when the King confronts him... he didn't even inform him of what happened. But considering how the head of the school reacted when Lance accused Baron before, as well as Baron's family lineage, it's likely that neither the king or the principal would have believed Lance. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_1edfa2c7 | comment |
Royals Who Actually Do Something Ilana is willing to fight to protect humanity from the monsters out to get her, despite her bodyguards' advice to do otherwise. It apparently runs in the family. During "Escape from Galaluna", her father, the king picks up a BFG and fights on the front lines with regular soldiers. It's implied he's an even bigger badass than Lance. When Lance defeats the fake king in Ilana's nightmare, he convinces Ilana it's a fake by saying there's no way he could have defeated him so easily in real life. | |

How Do I Shot Web? No one, not even Octus, had any idea they had the Titan at first. They figure out how it works pretty fast, though. Shown in "Disenfranchised," Lance made a Kusarigama weapon construct for Titan, and when he did, Octus was shocked because he didn't know they could do so. It seems to imply that there is really no limit to the constructs Titan could create. | |

Impossibly Graceful Giant The Titan robot is about at least several stories tall and must weigh quite a few tons, yet it can perform impressive feats of martial arts with no regard for the laws of physics. Subverted with the H.M.E.R. It's bulky, slow and needs a ridiculous amount of jets all over in to make simple maneuvers. | |

Limited Wardrobe Averted with Ilana, who can't seem to stay in one outfit over a single episode, much less between them. Played straight with Lance and Octus. Kimmy and her cheerleader friends also seem to be averting this trope, when they're not wearing their uniforms, of course. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths Implied with Lance. General Modula seems to have more than just a working relationship with the king prior to whatever mishap led to him being left behind. After her many attempts to get out of working on math problems, Kimmy admits that she is well-aware of her status as Alpha Bitch and The Ditz and is convinced that's why she's "stupid," and even breaks down crying in front of Octus. Octus himself is getting this treatment with his Ridiculously Human Robot status. | |

Out of Focus: Despite her importance to the plot and all, Ilana's backstory and character development don't get as much attention as her male team mates, and we have yet to see her win a fight without their help. The first half of the season tended to focus more on Lance while the second favored Octus. Perhaps if a second season had happened, Ilana would have gotten more time to shine? | |

Not a Date: Lance and Ilana's date-like hangout in "Lessons in Love." They don't think it's a date, but the person who invited Lance to the concert sure thought it was. To be fair, it wasn't played out like a date at all. There was no awkward sexual tension or anything between them, and it really just seemed more like they were casually hanging out. | |

| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_3fb02630 | comment |
Conveniently Empty Building: Subverted. The pilot episode "Escape to Sherman High" has the Titan destroy an entire section of the city against the first Monster of the Week. The following episode strongly implies that the cost of the damage was more than just financial...note However, a huge death toll would probably scare people away from a city where alien giants keep showing up on a regular basis, instead of their going on with their lives as if nothing happened. Except, the populace is showing signs of apprehension and trauma, and the military is suddenly everywhere... In the finale, we actually SEE people inside of the buildings that are being blown up | |

Deus ex Machina: The mystery leader of G3 not only brought Octus back to life but made him stronger, just in time for the finale. At best, a type 2. More likely a type 3. This would have been explained in Season 2, had the show not been Screwed by the Network. It was originally intended as Foreshadowing, but since we'll likely not see to what it was foreshadowing, it comes off as a Deus ex Machina. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: A peculiar Played With example. Ilana's lectures about following the rules at the start of "Roar of the White Dragon" would make a good Aesop if she chose rational examples. Instead she references her string of bad luck (which was not her fault), goes nuts about following the rules, then later has to break them to save the day. Then again, that could be the entire point to lead up to the actual Aesop, as later on, while Ilana effectively learns Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! and allows Octus to break traffic rules when they need to warn Lance about a Rift Gate opening, Lance managing to stick to the rules while being harassed during his driver's test (As well as a sudden Mutraddi attack) allows him to acquire the instructor's approval to let him pass the test, allowing both of them to learn something rule-related at the end of the day. | |

Mysterious Past | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_421ae215 | comment |
Mysterious Past: Ilana apparently knows little to nothing about Lance's past, which Lance isn't fond of bringing up. Though at this point his past is substantially less mysterious to we, the viewers. Although in the pilot she explicitly says to him, "I know about you AND your past", what Ilana thinks she knows is pretty much what her father knows — a rather incomplete and slanted version of Lance's growing-up years. | |

Not Wearing Tights | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_520680ca | comment |
Not Wearing Tights: Ilana, Lance and Octus are essentially superheroes on Earth. They've got secret identities and special powers, and they fight monsters and save lives on a regular basis. The Titan robot itself seems to be considered a superhero by the general public, and Lance becomes the mysterious crime-fighting type as the Phantom Ninja. If they weren't wearing armor, they'd be wearing capes and masks for sure. | |

Not Distracted by the Sexy | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_5f4097ba | comment |
Not Distracted by the Sexy: Lance is completely apathetic to the constant stream of poon that passes his way. Ilana counts, too, since she's seen Lance shirtless several times and is apparently not impressed. Kimmy convinces Octus to tutor her in math, then she tries (sexily) persuading him to do her homework for her. He's quite adamant that she learn the subject matter herself. This could be chalked up to Octus being a robot, except by the end of the tutoring session, they've both developed feelings for one another based on emotional rather than physical attraction. | |

He was actually setting her up for a mean prank in which he and his friends lured her to a barn and poured tar and feathers on her.

H.M.E.R, G3, and Lance and Ilana all three suffer this at the hands of the three newest monsters Modula sent. H.M.E.R gets torn to pieces as well. The situation is completely reversed when the Titan Came Back Strong, making it strong enough to completely dominate all three monsters with no effort. In fact, it would appear they were playing with the first one to test out their new powers. | |

Idiot Ball: The King. Should've listened to Lance, huh? Justified, in that Lance's sullen behaviour and tendency to get into trouble at the Academy meant he was a constant disappointment to the King. By the time of the invasion, Lance had very little credibility with the King. | |

In the same episode, Lance and Ilana are hanging out when a classmate of Lance's bumps into them and assumes Ilana is Lance's "lady." They both deny it, Lance saying Ilana is just a friend while Ilana simultaneously blurts out that Lance is her brother. | |

Vague Age | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: None of the characters' ages are explicitly stated, with almost all of them falling into vague groups like "teen". Lance comes the closest to specifics; his unfazed reaction to Ilana saying he'd have to be 16 to get a driver's license in "Roar of the White Dragon" suggests he's at least that old, but when he eventually receives his license this trope is ultimately played straight, as when we see it onscreen it's shown to completely lack a field for age or a birthdate. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Lance. In "Neighbors in Disguise," he exposes their identities to Solomon in trying to deal with Monster of the Week. Not to mention attracting the attention of said monster in the first place by activating his mecha unnecessarily, due to his being overprotective of Ilana. In the fourth, his vigilante activities not only get him caught by the Monster of the Week, but expose their secret weapon to Modula (who had thus far been baffled by the princess defeating his monsters). | |

It apparently runs in the family. During "Escape from Galaluna", her father, the king picks up a BFG and fights on the front lines with regular soldiers. It's implied he's an even bigger badass than Lance. When Lance defeats the fake king in Ilana's nightmare, he convinces Ilana it's a fake by saying there's no way he could have defeated him so easily in real life. | |

She is trying to provide healthier food for the school though, but anything would be healthier than what they had. She's also been seen to sport some pretty funky clothes, like the technicolor nightmare in "Roar of the White Dragon." | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality: Because they're hiding out on Earth, the town they live in gets regularly attacked by giant monsters who destroy portions of the city (possibly killing hundreds if not thousands in the crossfire), but when Lance takes up vigilantism (which might make their visit a net positive for the city), he gets told to stop. Of course, Lance's actions resulted in a huge Nice Job Breaking It, Hero because he bit off more than he could chew, so Octus was arguably in the right to dissuade him. | |

| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_952f8f26 | comment |
Deadly Prank: In "The Ballad of Scary Mary", Mary is never seen again after a group of classmates lure her into the woods to tar and feather her. The trope is subverted at the end of the episode, when it's revealed that Mary wasn't killed, but instead hit it off with a cute biker boy she met in the woods and ran off with him. | |

Bodyguard Crush | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_96f6335d | comment |
Bodyguard Crush Averted so far (probably due to their status as "siblings"), but we do get occasional Ship Teases and He Is Not My Boyfriend moments. Genndy has actually stated in an official interview that he intends to go for a non-romantic relationship with Lance and Ilana because he finds doing a friendship between male and female characters is more interesting and that having them fall in love would be too easy. As of "The Ballad of Scary Mary", alternate potential romantic interests have been introduced for Ilana and Lance. In said interview, Genndy stated that the relationship of Pazu and Sheeta of Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky served as inspiration for that of Lance and Ilana. To him this was a bond of mutual friendship with no romantic attraction involved. Ilana's former bodyguard Hobbs in "Escape from Galaluna" might qualify, as they both showed a mutual affection for each other. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death General Modula crushing a resistance fighter's neck with his fist. On Cartoon Network, no less. They at least had a Gory Discretion Shot. They don't seem to have much of a problem with violently dispatching the monsters, either. In "Roar of the White Dragon" it shows Titan ripping off its limbs and punching a hole through it. And in "Disenfranchised," they literally hack the monster to pieces with a scythe. "Escape from Galaluna" has Lance stabbing a traitor who we then see fall from an extremely tall bridge. Though it's partially cleaned up by the fact that the wound isn't shown and he falls in water, it's pretty clear what happened. "Under the Three Moons" has two. First the newly introduced Monster of the Week tears another monster to shreds and kills it by tearing its throat out. The monster itself is killed by being literally beaten to death by the Titan, blood splattering all over it as it does so Octus' death in "A Family Crisis" is pretty brutal, what with being electrocuted and drained of all his energy all while writhing in agony. The three monsters in "A New Beginning" are brutally dispatched by the new improved Titan. The first one gets its leg severed and a spear driven down its throat. The second one gets an arm chopped off and sliced in half, and the final one is ambushed from behind and cut in half, its blood splattering all over Steel. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: It's apparently quite OK to tear apart the bad guys as long as they're the monstrous Mutradi, but Ilana immediately orders Lance to use non-lethal force once they discover that the humans look just like them (never mind that said humans were attacking them). Sure, their enemy may be monsters and easy enough to tell apart from natives, but it leads to Fridge Logic (and Fridge Horror) about the possible massacre that might've happened if they had landed on an equally innocent planet with inhabitants who look less than human/Galalunan. We find out later that they were sent to Earth specifically because they looked so much like Galalunans... but the masks the soldiers were wearing and their "shoot first, ask later" attitude didn't help. | |

Continuity Nod: The construction site in "Roar of the White Dragon" is the same place that was destroyed by the first Monster of the Week. And even before that, the giant effing crater in the middle of the city in "Neighbors in Disguise." G3 has a storeroom of alien objects, including the trio's spaceship and the remains of several monsters they killed in the previous episodes. In "The Ballad of Scary Mary," Kimmy is seen talking to her friend about the latest episode of Highschool Heights, a Show Within a Show mentioned in the first episode. "He can't read?" The show is mentioned again in next episode, too. Apparently Ilana and Octus are both fans. In "Disenfranchised" we see that the legs of the giant Mecha-Hydra from way back in "Neighbors in Disguise" are in the exact same spot, and a park has even been built around them. The episode also has General Steel's spy questioning students about the events of "Showdown at Sherman High". In "Under the Three Moons," the mall is still being repaired from the destruction caused in "Neighbors in Disguise." In "The Steel Foe" Lance says that the H.M.E.R. is made of Mutraddi metal from the missile that was carrying Tashy. | |

Also shown when in their second battle, they actively try to avoid causing damage to the area they're fighting in. Later episodes show them actively trying to move the fight away from inhabited areas before it starts. | |

When Xeexi sees Titan for the first time, after getting past the shock and surprise, fires all three of the ship energy beams at Titan's nearest leg, which does absolutely no damage. Solomon delivers several nerve blows to Octus' human disguise, who doesn't even notice the multiple impacts. | |

Child Soldiers | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_c9c756a8 | comment |
Child Soldiers: The Academy is a military training facility which starts training future soldiers as children. To be fair, however, it is partially Truth in Television: most of them are teenagers, and military schools do exist for such ages. However, they also showed a row of children who looked even shorter, and, presumably, younger than Lance and Arthur — who were already small and really young-looking to begin with. It's worth noting that the whole episode was a pretty big tribute to Ender's Game, which is about a kid being trained to become a soldier. | |

Cassandra Truth In a flashback to his academy days, Lance was grabbed from bed and dumped in the hall in his underwear. The headmaster treats it as if Lance did this deliberately, despite the student body being well-aware of Baron's Jerkass behavior. Lance again in "Escape from Galaluna," when the king refuses to believe that there's an invasion on the way, and Lance is dismissed as a lunatic. Said invasion shows up not long after. | |

Curbstomp Battle Pretty much any fight Lance has with jocks or criminals. And a literal example when it comes to the Titan's battle with Xeexi. The H.M.E.R's first fight. Given the Tokusatsu influences, this isn't a surprise. H.M.E.R, G3, and Lance and Ilana all three suffer this at the hands of the three newest monsters Modula sent. H.M.E.R gets torn to pieces as well. The situation is completely reversed when the Titan Came Back Strong, making it strong enough to completely dominate all three monsters with no effort. In fact, it would appear they were playing with the first one to test out their new powers. | |

Action Girl Ilana. Not nearly as action-y as Lance, but she can still hold her own. Kristin (the Goth girl) was also revealed to be one in "Under the Three Moons" when shown practicing martial arts. | |

| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze In "The Phantom Ninja" with the hot chicks. Twice inside of five minutes in "Showdown at Sherman High"; first with a quartet of cheerleaders, then with Ilana at her tryout for the squad. Kimmy infamous "Shake It, Bake It, Booty Quake It" scene in "Lessons in Love." The scene shows as much ass shaking, pole dancing, and bouncing as though giving a crazy-ass lap dance as you possibly can without being burned at the stake by soccer moms. Again in "The Demon Within" with Ilana in mech form. | |

Hero Killer | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
Hero Killer: The Energy Cloud monster from "A Family Crisis." It's impervious to nearly everything they throw at it and is able to permently drain the energy out of electrical devices, meaning it's dangerous to try and use their Powered Armor or Octus against it for risk of losing them for good. It becomes a literal Hero Killer by killing Octus at the end of the episode. It takes the G3's battleship firing everything it's got at it and blowing up the space station it was in to kill the darn thing! | |

Ambiguously Gay: Todd, a member of the student council who only appeared in "Under The Three Moons" shows a lot of these mannerisms. He wears a pink polo shirt with a light blue sweater draped over his shoulders and tight pants and he appears to be wearing earrings. He is also flamboyant, speaks with a lisp, and skips when excited. He even loves to decorate things and he approved of Ilana's idea to make the homecoming theme Galalunian because a lot of their culture fitted in with his campy interests. | |

Jason looks exactly like Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon and Cody from Total Drama. Steve "Babyface" Stevens, the spy in "Disenfranchised," bears a remarkable resemblance to Archie. | |

| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_fccde3fb | comment |
Staring Kid: Octus gets one when he changes his holographic face to avoid recognition by the police. He tries to get his mom's attention, who tells him "not to stare." | |

You Mean "Xmas": The Winter Harvest Festival seems to be Galaluna's version of Christmas. | |

Master of Disguise | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_fd7267dd | comment |
Master of Disguise Octus, using a holographic system, though he always seems to retain his overall cylindrical shape and hasn't changed into anything other than his two basic forms. His size is especially strange since we've seen him visibly change his actual form (into a ball). "The Fortress of Deception" shows he could put more effort into it if he wanted. The Chameleon in "The Ballad of Scary Mary" could shape-shift into absolutely anyone, at any size, even scaling up its impersonations. | |

Gross-Up Close-Up: As mentioned above, the Cafeteria person, and done again in "The Phantom Ninja" with the teacher. And in "Lessons in Love" with the pimple-faced nerd. | |

Survivor Guilt: Lance in "A Family Crisis" immediately after Octus' death — because he fell behind and Octus only died because he returned to save Lance. | |

Cut Short | |
| Sym-Bionic Titan / int_ffa0483f | comment |
Cut Short: And how. Given all the storylines which went unresolved (including a handful which came up in the finale alone) the series pretty much has an open ending with no closure short of a feature film being created several years after the series ended. | |
