Tempting Fate: At the end of the series, Toby and Steve say they're glad the situation with Morado ended, as it would be hard to top defeating an alien god. Even so, they admit summer is going to be boring now. Then a cat wearing glasses shows up and begins to warn them that the Earth is in danger again…

Royals Who Actually Do Something: In the first episode the King and Queen lead their troops into battle against Morando while also helping the civilians escape. During the climax Morando tries to demoralize the people of Akiridion-5 by killing the royals live on broadcast. But instead it shows Krel and Aja fighting for their people and inspires the people watching to resist Morando even more.

Foregone Conclusion: Since Aja and Krell having a whole adventure with the Trollhunters gang in "D'aja Vu" would cause a major Continuity Snarl, it's probably not much of a surprise that the events end up getting wiped out completely.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 3Below / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome : When Krel formats a couple of blank drones into fake parents, who then behave like manic 1950s stereotypes, Señor Uhl immediately tries to call Child Protective Services because the parents seem psychotic. Aja gets him to back down by explaining that their homeland was taken over in a coup, earning his sympathy and getting him to write off their odd behavior as trauma. Broken Masquerade is deconstructed in "D'aja Vu"; neither the aliens nor Trollhunters are remotely prepared for humans seeing their true forms, including Darci who is Toby's girlfriend, as well as her father who is a cop. It means they are in real danger of being arrested, and as we later find out, sent to a nearly alien warehouse to become lab experiments. It took the Eternal Night for the authorities to be willing to work with the trolls because a near-apocalypse ends up shifting your legal priorities. And even then, Darci's father admits that people are creating hoaxes to mess with others so he can't take the threat of an alien invasion seriously unless he has proof. The show makes no attempt to hide the racism and discrimination against Krel and Aja, who are disguised as a Latino and a woman. It was actually deliberately invoked by MOTHER when picking their disguises. The main plot of episode 7 centers around Krel, Aja, and Varvatos dealing with a racist bureaucrat who suspects the siblings of being illegal aliens. Subverted in that the racist bureaucrat in question is really an alien bounty hunter who knows that main characters are literal aliens, but the point still stands. In episode 7, it's brought up that both appeared to have 'dropped out of the sky', due to having no school history or any form of identification. Birdy gives them massive stacks of paperwork to fill out. Zadra finds out while undercover that Varvatos Vex lowered the shields, thus technically committing treason. The kids still have to punish him when they find out, and even though he redeems himself thanks to the sentence being an exile, Zadra treats him coldly for a while because she was tortured for several days and saw the royals lose their physical forms. In episode two of season 2 Stuart and the royals need to get to the moon and decide to take his old mostly broken ship. Despite using advanced alien technology the trip still ends up taking about a day and a half. That makes Stuart's ship faster than the Apollo 11 (3 days) but slower than New Horizon (8 hours), currently the fastest manmade object. In "Ill Gotten Gains", Toby has to take summer school to make up for the 45 days he missed because of his Trollhunting duties.

Bittersweet Ending
 3Below / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The ending of Part 1. While Aja and Krel managed to defeat Morando's new super weapon and save their parents' cores, doing so required great sacrifice. Their ship is damaged beyond repair and Vex has been captured by the Zeron Brotherhood. The ending of Part 2 has Morando defeated for good, but Mother, the King, and the Queen had to sacrifice themselves for the heroes to reach that point. Also, while Aja and Krel finally have a way to return home, they go their separate ways with Aja returning to Akiridion-5 to take the throne and Krel staying on Earth with his friends.

comment
Aliens of London: Several extraterrestrial characters on the show inexplicably speak with accents you'd expect to hear from people in different countries on Earth. Lieutenant Zadra has a noticeable British accent. Stuart, another alien living on Earth, also has a pronounced English accent. Aja Tarron and her mother Queen Coranda both have Russian accents. Krel and Fialkov speak with a Hispanic accent. Morando speaks with some kind of unique accent that's hard to tell. Morando's voice actor, Alon Abutbul, has a hybrid accent, due to being an Israeli with French-Algerian and Egyptian ancestry.

Hero of Another Story: The Trollhunters may come off as background characters in this series, though that's mainly due to the fact that they are in the middle of their own adventure. Certain episodes of Season 1 actually take place during Season 3 of Trollhunters, but from Krel and Aja's perspective. Season 2 also gives off this vibe after the Trollhunters finale, with Jim and Blinky making a brief long-distance cameo from New Jersey.

Heroic Sacrifice: Varvatos Vex goes to his glorious death by crashing his ship into the hijacked mothership to down it, and atone for his betrayal. He doesn't die, but props for effort. In "The Big Sleep", Mother sacrifices herself to make sure the stasis chambers remain powered so the King and Queen can continue healing. In "A Glorious End, Part 2", the King and Queen, after fully recovering, sacrifice themselves to power the canon to end Morando once and for all.

Bullying a Dragon: A Trollgolem encounters Vervatos in his human form in a back alley and ignores the warning given to stand aside or be torn apart. At that precise moment, Varvatos returns to his natural form, grins menacingly and makes good on his threat.

BFG: One of an Akiridion serrator's modes, though we've yet to see it fired. It's usually played for laughs with one of the main cast overreacting, and the "target" not even noticing the utterly massive cannon now trained at them. The stun weapons Area 49-B's personnel carry also somewhat count.

Artistic License – Law: Krel and Aja end up at Arcadia Oaks Highschool because Det. Scott tells them it is illegal for them not to be in school. American schooling is only compulsory until age 16, the average age of a high schooler. Furthermore, it's not illegal for a student of any age to not be in school when in the company of a parent or guardian, which Vex had said he was. Zigzagged in that Vex announces that shortly after trying to lift a shop and a bench, making him look too incompetent to care for them and the kids were just caught shoplifting.

Simultaneous Arcs: Part 1 takes place at the same time as Part 3 of Trollhunters. The season has several nods to what was happening in the other series, which includes a party while the Trollhunters were at Merlin's cave and the episode where Jim gives Aja and Krel a tour. The Part 1 finale dovetails with the Part 3/series finale of Trollhunters.

This was his reason for initially betraying the Tarrons to General Morando by lowering the shields of Akiridion-5.

Meanwhile, a flashback shows Kanjigar the Courageous and Vendal taking possession of Gaylen's Core from the King and Queen many years ago, with the spirit of Kanjigar helping to guide Aja and Krel right to it— it's in the now-empty Trollmarket underneath Arcadia.

Status Quo Is God: Before their canonical meet, in episode 6 "D'aja Vu", Krel, Aja and the Trollhunters discover each other's secret identities and proceed to team up in order to defeat a troll who has been starting time loops by combining its trickster magic with a piece of Akiridion tech. While they are victorious in the end, they ended up accidentally exposing themselves to various citizens. Krel is forced to set said technology to turn back time, which will result in it self-destructing before the troll can find it, meaning that the events of the episode will have never transpired and neither team will have found out each other's secret identities.

Everyone Has Standards: When Bertha Flanagan accuses Krel and Aja of being illegal aliens (though she meant it literally, she knew they were actual aliens), Señor Uhl immediately, and rather angrily, comes to their defense and apologizes to them for the trouble. He's happy when Krel and Aja receive their student ID so they wouldn't have the problem again. Mary Wang happily records Krel and Steve's brawl but takes a moment to call out Seamus with disgust when he utters a xenophobic insult. Seamus reaches the point where he realizes just how despicable his father's prejudice is.

The show makes no attempt to hide the racism and discrimination against Krel and Aja, who are disguised as a Latino and a woman. It was actually deliberately invoked by MOTHER when picking their disguises. The main plot of episode 7 centers around Krel, Aja, and Varvatos dealing with a racist bureaucrat who suspects the siblings of being illegal aliens. Subverted in that the racist bureaucrat in question is really an alien bounty hunter who knows that main characters are literal aliens, but the point still stands.

Yank the Dog's Chain: A series-long one. Aja and Krel are using Mother to support their parents in stasis, waiting for their bodies to reform. Despite some close calls, the king and queen reform… and proceed to sacrifice their cores and lives to stop Morando. Aja and Krel had committed to doing it, and desperately try to convince their parents otherwise. Coranda reassures them this is their choice, and names Aja as the new leader of Akiridion. Cue their bodies fading, for real.

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: When we first meet the King and Queen, the Queen is saying [[Film/Madagascar "Smile and wave. Smile and wave"]] also could count as a company Mythology Gag. Vex, disguised as an old man with a cane, is assisted in crossing the street by a girl scout trying to earn a badge despite his objections. Hmm… Plus, one major villain is named Alpha and has a dog-shaped head and deep voice. How the Akiridions are Energy Beings with a Heart Drive core they can reform from if their bodies are damaged sounds a lot like the Gems of Steven Universe. Krel makes two blank robots his and Aja's Earth parents. After a while, Aja names one Ricky and the other Lucy. Krel's name is likely a reference to the aliens from Forbidden Planet. When Zadra and Stuart run through the backyards, Zadra hops over the fences flawlessly while Stuart follows her and crashes into the fences. This is possibly a reference to Hot Fuzz where Danny, also played by Nick Frost, does the same thing. In Part 2, while Vex is in a prison, a guard screams "No Touching".

The Coup
 3Below / int_e27693
comment
The Coup: The exiled General Morando launches his invasion on Akiridion-5 during Krel and Aja's coronation, becoming dictator of the planet. He had a very large force on his side to start with, but needed Lieutenant Zadra's support to get the rest of the military to follow him.

Calling the Old Man Out: Seamus give his father a passive-aggressive one once it finally sunk in that his father was driving the unnecessarily bitter rivalry against Krel.

Insistent Terminology: Aja, Krel, and Vex really don't like being referred to as aliens, they prefer Akiridion. Aja isn't a princess, she's a queen in waiting.

Black Site: Area 49-B, where Stuart's old ship is kept. It's a clear reference to Area 51, is filled with guards dressed in hazmat suit, and is more defended than Fort Knox.

Exact Words: When ordered to surrender the King and Queen's cores in exchange for the safe return of their children, Vervatos hands over a briefcase to Alpha, telling them there is a King and Queen inside. when Alpha discovers the cores are not inside, but rather, two chess pieces and a bomb, Vervatos points out, I said "a king and queen, not the king and queen".

Match Cut: In episode 13, a flashback to Akiridion-5 ends with a shot of Aja and Krel in their alien forms, which cuts to a shot of them in the same positions in their human forms.

Insignificant Little Blue Planet
 3Below / int_f01a1b71
comment
Insignificant Little Blue Planet: Earth was chosen to be the trio's hiding place because it is the last planet in the known universe that Morando would think to look for them (the other one being sucked into a black hole at the time). Even then MOTHER describes it as a little ball of water and mud "named after dirt". This is later subverted when it is revealed that Gaylen's core was hidden on Earth by Aja and Krel's parents, having been given to then-Trollhunter Kanjigar the Courageous for safe-keeping. MOTHER even theorizes that they had preprogrammed her to purposefully bring the ship to Earth should the need arise, this being one of the reasons why Earth was made an option in the first place for Aja and Krel in the first place.

Broken Masquerade
 3Below / int_f506d08c
comment
Broken Masquerade is deconstructed in "D'aja Vu"; neither the aliens nor Trollhunters are remotely prepared for humans seeing their true forms, including Darci who is Toby's girlfriend, as well as her father who is a cop. It means they are in real danger of being arrested, and as we later find out, sent to a nearly alien warehouse to become lab experiments. It took the Eternal Night for the authorities to be willing to work with the trolls because a near-apocalypse ends up shifting your legal priorities. And even then, Darci's father admits that people are creating hoaxes to mess with others so he can't take the threat of an alien invasion seriously unless he has proof.

Running Gag: Luug likes to play with Varvatos, usually involving him latching onto some body part like a lamprey at the worst possible moment.

Comically Missing the Point: Mother uses body reconfiguration technology to give the Akiridians forms that are often ignored on Earth: a girl, a Latino, and a senior citizen. Problem is, she completely ignores context, so they wind up with siblings with two different accents and drastically different skin colors and an old man repeatedly trying to fight everyone, things that are sure to get them noticed.
