((It's a borderline case. If they had explained immediately the reason he wears sunglasses all the time, it would have been a justification. But they set up the expectation that they were following the Sunglasses At Night trope first, then revealed that they really weren't later on. Either works, though.))

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Let's Get Dangerous: In the third episode of the 4th season, when Krum was surrounded by lord Karloff's goons, he was thought to be an easy picking. (And in all honesty, he had seen little combat in the entire series). When they voice the're opinion, he just smiles, the music stops, and then he proceeds to beat the living crap out of everyone in the building.

Retired Badass: Krum. No questions.

Time Master: Tidus, Lord of Rakat, posessed control of time, such that he could reset time to any point in the last 30 days, leaving those who experienced the reset with a vague sense of déjà vu, which accumulates as time is looped. This resulted in the first five episodes of season 6 having the same opening scene.

EDIT: Oops, misspelled Tidus's name

Russia is simply taking an anti-Fascist stance against European Nazi products, they should be applauded. ¡No parmesan!

Dude, this is a cartoon, remember? i think we need to keep ratings down to pg-13, no?

also, considering that the show (apart from the recut reruns) lasted only 7 years, do you really think it would have 55 seasons? i'd say the most it could have is 7, as the average show has 20-25 episodes/season, as they'd have 5 months per season and then would take a hiatus over the summer to write/film/draw/animate more episodes for the upcoming season

(( Nah, I like to think of the animation as simlar to Japanese anime. Only less strange. Also, this has guns, death, and blantant on screen headshots, and you object to crusing under the excuse that we cannot use cruses because this is a PG-13 show. Dude, crusing is used widely in PG-13, and either way, I don't think it matters if he cruses or not anymore. ))

Not So Harmless: While all the primary antagonists become more powerful as the series progresses, of exceptional note are Karl and Fran, who went from a pair of bumbling, ineffective henchmen to a scarily competant duo working directly under their boss Terror Jack

Minionshipping: Shades of this with Jack's underlings, Karl and Fran.

Elaborate Underground Base: Karloff has one of these underneath his castle.
