** The show presents one of the most dangerous/competent versions of [[spoiler:Mastermind]], all media included. Here he is the leader of the Inner Circle, instead of a newest member who managed to enter by using a brainwashed Jean Grey as proof of his worth, even managing to escape unarmed after turning Grey into Phoenix. He's much more charismatic and intelligent, coming up with a nearly flawless plan entirely on his own and manipulating all the players involved into serving his goal. His powers also receive an upgrade as his illusions can fool even telepaths. Adding to that, he is a competent physical fighter (unlike his comic self who was a SquishyWizard), able to easily dodge kicks dealt by this version of Emma Frost. All these elements contribute to turning him into a valid BigBad instead of [[TheHeavy the muscle of a more important villain]] or a [[BigBadWannabe wannabe threat]] like he is in the comics.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, Mastermind is an ugly man who used his powers to disguise himself as a handsome man while manipulating Jean. Here, [[spoiler: when Emma is able to use her diamond form to see through his disguise as Jun as it blocks her telepathy and shields her from others']], the handsome form ''is'' his true form.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, the U-Men were slightly creepy D-list jokes, notable only for their connection to the big-name villain John Sublime. In this series, they're a major organization with considerable resources and a serious threat to the X-Men.
** The show presents one of the most dangerous/ competent version of [[spoiler:Mastermind]], all media included. Here he is the leader of the Inner Circle, instead of a newest member who managed to enter by using a brainwashed Jean Grey as proof of his worth, even managing to escape unarmed after turning Grey into Phoenix. He's much more charismatic and intelligent, coming up with a nearly flawless plan entirely on his own and manipulating all the players involved into serving his goal. His powers also receive an upgrade as his illusions can fool even telepaths. Adding to that, he is a competent physical fighter (unlike his comic self who was a SquishyWizard), able to easily dodge kicks dealt by this version of Emma Frost. All these elements contribute to turning him into a valid BigBad instead of [[TheHeavy the muscle of a more important villain]] or a [[BigBadWannabe wannabe threat]] like he is in the comics.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Emma Frost is portrayed as much kinder and more sympathetic here than most other versions, and most of her negative personality traits barely even show up outside of her backstory. In fact, outside of some snarking she doesn't do a single mean thing to anybody.
** [[spoiler: Takeo is mainly the villain due to PowerIncontinence. His comic counterpart, Proteus, was a psychotic villain who murdered innocent people ForTheEvulz.]]
* AloofBigBrother: Scott seemingly gives off this vibe while training Hisako at the Xavier Institute.
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Jean]] becomes one in the prologue before [[spoiler: killing herself to save the world]].
* ArtEvolution: Wolverine looks far more gruff like his comic book appearance, contrasted to the two previous anime series where he was more of a {{Bishonen}}.
* AscendedExtra: Armor gets her first leading role in an adaptation here.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Implied to be the case with [[spoiler: ComicBook/JeanGrey in the first episode, and Takeo in the last.]]
* AudibleSharpness: Wolverine's claws.
* BadassBiker: Wolverine and Cyclops.

* TheBerserker: Wolverine and Beast (emphasis on the former) have unstoppable feral rampages when extremely angry.

* BigFancyHouse: Aside from the X-Mansion, there's also Hisako's house which seems to be quite large (possibly because it's an inn of some sort).
* {{Bishounen}}: Cyclops.
* [[BrightSlap Bright Punch]]: [[spoiler: Logan to Cyclops after the latter hesitates in battle, almost getting Storm killed]].
* BrokenAce: Before the first episode is finished, Scott endures [[spoiler: losing Jean]], he spends an entire year sulking were she died. He spends the rest of the series trying to hide his pain behind a stoic façade, but it's obvious he's an emotionally broken man.
* BodyHorror: The U-Men are not kind to the mutants they kidnap.
** The first one they encounter also seems to be a ShoutOut to Akira.
** Their own folks don't fare much better in these stakes, although at least in their case, it's sometimes voluntary.
* {{Cameo}}: Angel, ComicBook/{{Colossus}}, ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, Captain Britain, and [[spoiler: Anime/IronMan]] all show up very briefly in the finale.

* CasualDangerDialogue: Provided most often by Wolverine.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Emma Frost can be seen controlling Jean/Dark Phoenix in the first episode.]]
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: Mastermind]], he played ''everyone'' like a fiddle, the ''only'' reason he failed is that he underestimated the power of [[spoiler: Jean's love and Takeo's powers]].
* ChunkyUpdraft: The series opens with this as Jean goes insane.
* CompositeCharacter:
** [[spoiler: Takeo]] is an amalgam of Legion (Prof. X's son with telepathic abilities) and Proteus (Moira's son with reality-warping abilities). He's basically ''Ultimate''!Proteus with a RaceLift.
** Mastermind takes over Sebastian Shaw's role as leader on the Hellfire Club/Inner Circle.
* ContinuityNod: Hisako trains against a Sentinel in the Danger Room.
* CrossdressingVoices: In the English dub, Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn voices the effeminate but clearly male Marsh. It's not as obvious as you might think.
* {{Cult}}: The U-Men are billed as such.
* DeadpanSnarker: Wolverine is once again the teams top snarker.
* EvilIsVisceral: The U-Men are very fond of their creepy biotech.
* {{Expy}}: Dr. Sasaki is one of [[spoiler: Moira [=MacTaggert=]]], and by extension, [[spoiler: Takeo]] is a Japanese Proteus/Legion.
* FantasticRacism: The X-Men are apparently still dealing with this, though not to as harsh a degree as most other adaptations.

* {{Hypocrite}}: After Scott attempts to attack Sublime's mech with his HeatVision. [[EyePatchOfPower Sublime]] calls Scott a "One-eyed freak".
* InstantArmor: Armor's mutant power.
* KickChick: Emma Frost.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: After Mastermind tortures Takeo to force the boy to unleash his full power, he's taken out when Takeo crushes him with pipes]].
* LetsGetDangerous: Hisako really pulls it together in episode 11.
* MadnessMantra: One of the early enemies the X-Men face is rather obsessed with organs.
* MechaMooks: The U-Men's mindless, faceless combat cyborgs fill this role, despite [[BodyHorror not being entirely mechanical]].
* MostCommonSuperpower: Storm, Jean and [[spoiler:Emma Frost, who combines it with AbsoluteCleavage]].
** Given that it's made by Madhouse it would be harder to spot any female that isn't overly endowed.
* MythologyGag: The David Haller Syndrome is named after Professor X's son Legion, in [[DependingOnTheWriter some of the subtitles]], though the actual voices are clearly saying "Damon".
--> "Now boarding for Madripoor at Gate ComicBook/{{X 23}}".
** One of the young researchers working for Yui states that she's a big fan of Sunfire, a Japanese hero associated with the X-Men and Comicbook/UncannyAvengers.
* NoodlePeople: The U-Men's cyborgs are impossibly, inhumanly lanky. Made worse because [[BodyHorror they clearly were once human, and odds are they didn't originally look like that]].
* OhCrap: Wolverine literally says this word for word when Sublime attacks him with some heat generating weapons.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: First [[spoiler: Jean when she loses control of the Phoenix, then Takeo after he'd been tortured by Mastermind.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler: Jean, after the prologue.]]
* PsychicPowers: Professor X, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost.
* RaceLift: [[spoiler: Yui Sasaki]] and [[spoiler: Takeo]] are Japanese {{Expies}} of [=Moira MacTaggert=] and Proteus.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: Takeo]]
* RedHerring: Emma Frost was mainly accused (especially by Cyclops) as the one who made Jean lose her sanity with the Phoenix Force. [[spoiler: The Emma seen by Scott was an illusion made by Mastermind knowing that Emma might join the X-Men after her departure from the Hellfire Club.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Wolverine and Cyclops naturally have this dynamic, and Wolverine points out that when Cyke's HeroicBSOD puts Wolverine in the Blue Oni role, something is ''seriously'' wrong.
* RevealingCoverup: The U-Men assassinate any police officer trying to investigate the disappearance of teenagers in Tohoku, publicly revealed as an "unfortunate death".
* SadClown: Wolverine comes across this way with his cynical GallowsHumor, particularly if this series canonically takes place some time after the events of his own series.
* SailorFuku: Hisako/Armor.
* SayMyName: Cyclops to Jean in the prologue.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: TheStinger at the end of the series has a shot of Magneto's jail cell with a hole blown through it, and ends with "The adventures of the X-Men will continue..."]]

** One of the young researchers working for Yui states that she's a big fan of Sunfire, a Japanese hero associated with the X-Men and Comicbook/UncannyAvengers.

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: Takeo]]
