Within the Earth exists the Inner World, created and blessed by a being known as the Spirit Oracle. There, a war has been waging between the humans and Insectors/Invectids. Following the journal of his late grandfather, 13-year-old Hunter Steele finds himself drawn into the Inner World. He soon encounters the independent spider Shadow, who eventually becomes his partner, as well as the mysterious girl Corona, one of the elite warriors known as Spider Riders, who welcomes Hunter into their team.Along with Corona, Igneous, Prince Lumen, Princess Sparkle, and the former wanderer Magma, Hunter fights against Mantid and his Insector army, trying to prevent them from collecting the four Oracle Keys.A rather underrated anime, due to its strange title and premise, a broadcast cut short on American TV, and its genre busting. Despite its inability to generate interest in most serious anime fans, the show did relatively well in Canada, where it was dubbed and funded.There is also a novel series, online game, and canceled manga as part of the franchise. | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| Spider Riders / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Several in the anime. Brade/Quake, Grey/Slate, Lily, Queen Elma/Illuma, Toure/Solan, Lorraine... just to name a few. On the other hand, Portia manages to be something of a Canon Immigrant. She first appeared in the anime, and her existence was at least mentioned in the 4th novel. Problem is, the 4th novel makes bizarre retcons to the original ones, and might not even count. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Spider Riders / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: Aqune is frequently mind-controlled, but towards the end of the series Mantid's Ultimate Machine-Sector turns out to be a trap, and her mask merges with it. She then drains the power from Hunter's Oracle Keys, much to the surprise and horror of Buguese, who was sitting next to her and perfectly convinced that he was in control. Afterwards, Mantid lends her additional power and pits her against the Spider Riders. Fortunately, Buguese stops her from killing Hunter. Also, both Igneous and Corona in the 4th episode thanks to a flower, but it ends once the flower is exposed to light. | |

Beast and Beauty: Buguese and Aqune. Even if Buguese is the most humanoid Insector, he's still not exactly... human. Aqune is the gentle, empathetic one who tries to see the good in everyone. Buguese is the brooding, angry one. Despite his hatred of humans, it's clear he has a soft spot for Aqune. Freeing her is the last thing he does before confronting Mantid, which he expects will lead to his demise. | |

Considering that this is an anime that involves a boy from earth getting sucked into a subterranean world beneath our own, the fact that we didn't even see some strange phenomenon going on in the outer world is rather strange. | |

| Spider Riders / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Applies to all of the Big Four. Grasshop first, when he ultimately decides to rescue Sparkle (as well as Igneous and Lumen). He then remains an ally to the Spider Riders, traveling with them until the end. Then Stags, who purposefully quits after being defeated by Hunter. Next Beerain, who aids Grasshop by reminding him of an alternate way that the Riders can cross into Insector/Invectid lands. After that she leaves, and isn't seen again until she and Stags rescue Buguese. And finally Buguese, who turns on Mantid after being betrayed. He then frees Aqune from Mantid's control, and makes it his mission to defeat his former leader himself. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Spider Riders / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: According to episode 23 of the dub the sun was taken from the "Invectid" world as punishment for their race eating all the plant life. What actually happened was Mantid caused its disappearance when he collected the four Oracle Keys, and the plant life died as a result. The dub goes with the true story later, making the already bizarre edit seem even more awkward. Though one could argue that all the Invectids believed and perhaps were told (by Mantid) the first story in order to make them hate the humans and The Oracle, when the second story was in fact the truth. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Spider Riders / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with an "S": "Aqune" is "Aquine" in the online game. Her name is often mistakenly spelled as "Akune" or "Aquna" by the fans. "Igneous" became "Ignus" in the anime (the dub brought it back to "Igneous", as it was in the novels) because it was easier for the Japanese to pronounce. Try to find people in the fandom who know how to spell "Buguese". You'll have trouble. Doesn't help that the way his name is written in Japanese reads more like "Baggus". | |

No One Could Survive That!: Stags manages to survive after purposefully falling backwards off a building, which was already floating high in the air. More surprisingly, he didn't even appear hurt. note He IS based on a Stag Beetle, after all. Beetles have hard exoskeletons in real life to protect them, so it's possible this also applies to the Insectors/Invectids. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Spider Riders / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catch-Phrase: "Never give up" is Hunter's phrase in both versions, though his Japanese secondary catch phrase, "It's alright" (often mimicked by the others as well) was turned into the much cheesier "Arachna Power" in the dub. | |

Dub Text | |
| Spider Riders / int_c88b1139 | comment |
Dub Text: Hunter and Aqune's promises to each other. Most indications that Hunter had romantic interest in her were dub only. The same could probably go for Buguese calling her "my beautiful" and "my sweet." Considering that the dub even went as far as to remove some of the Hunter/Corona moments, perhaps they just wanted to hook Aqune up with someone. Heck, the dub even hints at Aqune being interested in Quake/Brade. | |

Spoiler Opening: The second OP is really bad about this. For one, it shows Aqune with the Spider Riders, even though she doesn't officially join them until the fourth-to-last episode. Next, it reveals the existence of Quake/Brade, as well as the fact that he's a Spider Rider, and has a younger form. Although viewers could assume that younger Quake/Brade was a different person entirely. | |

Lighter and Softer: The anime, in comparison to the novels they were based off of.

Love Martyr: Although they're not actually in a relationship, Beerain is basically this. Buguese does not treat her well. At all. And it doesn't seem to change her feelings. | |

Backup from Otherworld | |
| Spider Riders / int_ecc96193 | comment |
Backup from Otherworld: Quake/Brade fills the spot of the 8th Rider needed to awaken the Spirit Oracle, even though he's dead. The Sea Buff Mariner/Lost Mariner, also dead, helps the Riders escape an attack at sea. | |

Bad "Bad Acting" | |
| Spider Riders / int_f19e8a55 | comment |
Bad "Bad Acting": While starring in a play to help out a struggling theater owner. Hunter plays the leading man, but his performance is stilted due to nerves, and his speech turns monotone. Corona isn't much better, turning into a Large Ham, while Lumen's performance is decent (until he's Distracted by the Sexy audience member). Igneous gets stuck playing an Invectid commander, and takes his frustration out on Hunter on stage. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Spider Riders / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Actually averted in some of the dub episodes. It's played straight in the short-lived Kids WB cut of the same dub, however. Some awkward changes were made just to avoid references to death. | |

Running Gag: Both Corona's terrible cooking and Lumen's tendency to flirt with anything female, regardless of age, species, or relation to him. | |

Canon Immigrant | |
| Spider Riders / int_fc7c4f92 | comment |
On the other hand, Portia manages to be something of a Canon Immigrant. She first appeared in the anime, and her existence was at least mentioned in the 4th novel. Problem is, the 4th novel makes bizarre retcons to the original ones, and might not even count. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Sparkle. Most of the time she's a sweetheart. Threaten her or her friends, however, and she might just pound you with a yo-yo. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Spider Riders / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: With Hunter and Aqune as exceptions, the humans have mostly sun-related (Corona, Sparkle, Lumen) or Earth-related (Igneous, Magma, Grey) names. There are even more cases in the dub, due to the name changes. The Insectors names are all bug-related. | |
