** In "Soap Opera," Dada encounters a magic bottle of soap containing Mr. Dishy, a whimsical cleaning spirit who speaks in rhyme. He cleans up Dada and makes him handsome enough for Ring Ring to consider dating him. Unfortunately, Dishy's magic wears off when Dada contacts water... which happens during every activity throughout his date. He keeps having Dishy reapply his magic to keep up his appearance when no one is looking. This happens so much that Dishy eventually stops rhyming and firmly warns Dada about his wastefulness.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: "Feud Fight", Pucca is so distraught over the chefs feud and refusal to cook together again that she completely ignores Garu, something he realizes when he holds up flowers and then dances with joy.
** In "Soap Opera," when Dada risks overusing Mr. Dishy, the latter drops the whimsical rhyming and bluntly warns the former. Considering what happens when he ''is'' overused, it's understandable that Dishy would be so urgent.

** Muji bloats to planetary size upon eating a special batch of noodles in "Noodle to the Stars." He becomes so big, in fact, that he develops his own gravitational pull and later explodes in a spectacular fashion.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Ring-Ring, on various occasions.

* Mooks: Tobe's Ninjas, who double as FacelessGoons.

** The mobile game ''Talking Pucca'' would have Pucca kissing [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou you when Garu isn't there]]. [[https://youtu.be/s5g5HXJifXYt=02m07s Not kidding.]] But don't worry, Garu also can get kissed as usual.

Originally a cute little character created by Korean company Vooz, plenty of merchandise goodies, a WebAnimation series, and later a television series, it's about Pucca, who is a young girl living with her uncles, a trio of Chinese chefs. Pucca is in MadLove with her [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend "boyfriend"]] Garu, a {{ninja}} who is none too keen on her outlandish displays of affection. The series takes place in the town of Sooga, an [[AdventureTowns Adventure Town]] with plenty of EccentricTownsfolk, including off-season [[SantaClaus Santa]], who spends the 364 other days of the year in town relaxing.

* FieryAndSensual: In "Hot and Bothered", Ho meets Hottie, the goddess of the fire swamp, who has [[FlamingHair red hair in the shape of a fire]], and can manipulate flames. She is quite flirtatious towards him and they fall in love.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Ching, Dada, Abyo, Tobe, and Ring-Ring all get oneshots. The three chefs get two.

* GrumpyBear: Garu is an angsty, ultra-serious ninja not unlike [[{{Manga/Naruto}} Sasuke Uchiha]], despite living in the world of a light hearted GagSeries.

* {{Bishonen}}: Garu is allegedly one of these, though the art style makes it hard to tell.

* {{Jerkass}}/JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Abyo, [[DependingOnTheWriter from time to time]].
** Garu can sometimes veer into this territory too, generally when he acts like a jerk to Pucca for no real reason.

* KidHero: Pucca and Garu are 10 and 12, respectively.

* BerserkButton: A accusing Garu of having no honor will instantly cause him to want to pick a fight with you.

* CasanovaWannabe: Abyo, much to [[LoveInterest Ching's]] distaste.

* BerserkButton: It's a [[BewareTheNiceOnes bad idea]] to insult or harm Garu in any form in front of Pucca if you don't want your ass kicked.
** Also, don't undo Pucca's twin odango. You're warned.
** For Garu, accusing him of having no honor will instantly cause him to want to pick a fight with you.

* BettyAndVeronica: Pucca (Betty) and Ring-Ring (Veronica) to Garu.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Some episodes in the first TV Series present what-if scenarios with the characters present in different time periods or themes. We've had Tarzan, Jacques Cousteau, Roman games, and more.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Pucca, Pucca, Pucca. It's suggested that Garu ''does'' sort of like her, but is completely turned off by her clinginess.

* ChickMagnet: Garu attracts plenty of women (and a few men) over the course of the series. [[UnwantedHarem He doesn't want any of them]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: From the Tv series, Ring-Ring, which makes her stand out in comparison to the other characters
