Tropes involving multiple members of the group:
- Canon Foreigner: Gaz and Minimoose, who don't have Kingdom Hearts equivalents. While it's inevitable that a written adaptation would have more characters, they still count as canon foreigners because the group as a whole is equivalent to the trio of Sora, Riku, and Kairi. What role either of them will have remains to be seen.
- True Companions: All with Zim.

Tropes:
- Cloudcuckoolander: He is interestingly this to a very small extent: he appointed a teddy bear as the Secretary of State and no one knows why he named his kingdom the Comic Kingdom.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is implied to still be the jerk he is in the comic strip, but he still cares about the well-being of the multiverse.
