History Anime / MarvelDiscWarsTheAvengers

** One of the things Loki tell a brainwash hulk is that his friends plan to send him to a desolate planet.

* HourOfPower: The biocodes installed in Akira and the other children are incomplete, and as a result, the heroes they are partnered with can only be released for five minutes and thirty-three seconds. Once their Activity Time Limit runs out, they return to their disks and cannot be released again until the children recover. Since the heroes first becoming partnered to the children, Tony and Pepper have discovered that said time limit has steadily begun to increase.

** Noriko Ashida, aka "Surge", one of the newer members of the X-Men, later shows up after the group moves to Japan. Much like the use of Armor in the [[Anime/XMen X-Men anime]], she was probably chosen because the character herself is Japanese.

* OptOut: [[spoiler:Chris does this in episode 19. He leaves the group on account of his relationship with Captain America not going the way he wants it to.[[note]]He wants nothing less than to be seen and treated as Cap's equal and has anxiety issues over how Cap sees him in relation to and with regards with his former protegee, Bucky.[[/note]] The others try to stop him and call him out on his selfish decision, but it doesn't stick and he leaves anyway. [[ForgoneConclusion Time will tell]] whether it really sticks or whether he ends up going through a TenMinuteRetirement.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Tony Stark got called out twice in the first episode for holding a party announcing to announce his creation to the world and for doing it on an island ''full of captured supervillains''. Both are later justified by the plot, in that the [=DISK=]s are specifically designed to imprison supervillains [[spoiler: and that he threw a party in order to show the fruits of his and Akira and Hikaru's father's work to his sons]].

* SuperRegistrationAct: Ine becomes enforced by the president under the orders of Senator Robert in the ninth episode, but the Avengers and the kids work around it by taking refuge in Japan.

* AgeLift: Tony Stark looks a bit younger then in most adaptations (at least, in adaptations where he ''isn't'' [[WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures supposed to be a teenager]]). For example, his facial hair is limited to a tuft on his chin. This was probably done to make him not appear so much older than the ShounenHero lead, Akira.

* SadisticChoice: Loki and his allies force the heroes to submit to being sealed inside [=DISK=]s by holding Pepper Potts hostage.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Joel, who acts like a stereotypical [[TheRockStar]]. He also sat back and watched with a gleeful grin as Abomination stalked and quite possibly killed a SHIELD agent meant to watch over Chris

* FiveBadBand: The "Celebrity Five", the masked minions who work for Loki. Each of them serve as EvilCounterparts to the kids, and specialize in summoning a specific class of villain. They also all have day jobs that their work as evildoers conflicts with.

Based off Marvel's popular ''[[Franchise/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' franchise, the series sees ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Comicbook/IronMan, Franchise/SpiderMan, ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], and ComicBook/TheWasp teaming up with a group of teens to track down the world's superheroes, who have been locked away in special disks by Comicbook/{{Loki}}.

The story begins when Tony Stark is revealing a new technology called Disks to the public. The technology is meant to make the holding and rehabilitation of supervillains safer and easier. Most of the world's most famous superheroes are present. Meanwhile, a boy from Japan named Akira and his brother go to visit their father, who has been away from home working on the technology, and a group of teenagers get lost at the event.

* AndIMustScream: Averted. The heroes and villains don't show much concern over being trapped in DISKs. They'd very much like to get ''out'' of them, but they're a lot better off than people who usually tend to get trapped in these kinds of things.

* FunWithAcronyms: According to Tony in the first episode, "DISK" is actually an abbreviation for "Digital Identity Securement Kit".

* InTheNameOfTheMoon: This being an anime, all of the heroes have one after being released from their DISKS via D-Smash:

** Spider-Man also serves as this, what with his being notably younger than the other heroes and the only one not trapped in a DISK or partnered up with anyone.

* MerchandiseDriven: The show was launched with a tie-in toyline centered around Bandai's POG-like DISK-based Bachicombat game, and all then disks used in the show are based on the ones in the toyline. Additionally, the transformable disks in the toyline appear in the second version of the show's ending animation.

* SadisticChoice: Loki and his allies force the heroes to submit to being sealed inside DISKs by holding Pepper Potts hostage.
* SealedGoodInACan: Most of the world's superheroes have been trapped inside specialized containment DISKs. Of course, so are the supervillains, making this also an example of SealedEvilInACan.

* SleepModeSize: Whenever recovering inside their DISKs, the Avengers can only interact with the outside world through small holograms after having their personal DISK set on one of the kids' specialized armbands.

* WhatTheHellHero: Tony Stark got called out twice in the first episode for holding a party announcing to announce his creation to the world and for doing it on an island ''full of capture supervillains''. Both are later justified by the plot, in that the DISKs are specifically designed to imprison supervillains [[spoiler: and that he threw a party in order to show the fruits of his and Akira and Hikaru's father's work to his sons]].

* AdaptationDistillation: The show takes elements from the original comics but also the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse as well.
* AgeLift: Notably, Tony Stark comes off look quite a bit younger then in most adaptations where he ''isn't'' [[WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures supposed to be a teenager]]. For example, his facial hair is limited to a tuft on his chin. This was probably done to make him a better match aesthetically to the Shonen Hero lead Akira.
** Wolverine also looks a bit younger here. Of notice is the general lack of extraneous hair usually found on him.
* AndIMustScream: the way Tony describes his own experience while inside a DISK.

* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: ComicBook/NickFury.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Joel, he may act like the brattish of villainous d-blader. He's also the one who watched with a sick grin as Abomination attack a guy (Possibly killing him.)

* BigEater: Such a concept is no stranger to The Hulk as is seen when he is eating an armful of fruit in the first episode.
* TheCameo: [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Agent Coulson]] has appeared as a ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} agent that happens to be entertaining the people who won a tour of The Raft through a Stark Industries contest.

* EvilGenius: One of Loki's minions, Smart Brain, refers to himself this way.

* FiveEpisodePilot: the first StoryArc detailing the Raft breakout lasted three episodes.
* FunWithAcronyms: According to Tony in the first episode, "Disk" is actually an abbreviation for "Digital Identity Securement Kit".
* GenderFlip: The show's version of Death Adder from the Serpent Squad is a woman like in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel incarnation, rather than a man in the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse.
* GratuitousEnglish: Tony Stark as voiced by Hanawa Eiji has gratuitously spoken "ladies and gentlemen!" in the 1st episode.
** Green Goblin refers to Spider-Man with a rather noticeable use of "Spidey".
* GottaCatchThemAll: The plot involves the Avengers and their teen sidekicks traveling the globe to rescue the captured superheroes.

* HourOfPower: The biocodes installed in Akira and the other children is incomplete. As a result, the heroes they are partnered with can only be released for five minutes and thirty-three seconds. Once their Activity Time Limit runs out, they return to their disks and cannot be released again until the children recover.
* InternationalCoProduction
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Being an anime naturally. All of the Heroes have one after being released.
-->Iron Man: The party's started!
-->Thor: In the name of Mjolnir!
-->Captain America: Soldiers! Follow me!
-->Wasp: Let's fight evil! Together with me!

* KidAppealCharacter: Why else give the Avengers a group of teenaged allies?
** Spider-Man also seems to be this, seeing as how they felt he didn't need to be paired up with a kid.
** We've seen plenty of the Hulk, but nothing of Bruce Banner. Naturally, the youngest of the kids, Edward, gets paired up with the Hulk (even though his stated favorite is Captain America).
* KneelBeforeZod: Loki's first command to Thor once the heroes are forced to surrender. Loki even mentioned that IAlwaysWantedToSayThat.

* MagicFromTechnology: Loki's minions say the villain Diablo is controlling the Hulk through magic but Diablo corrects them, telling them he does it through Alchemy.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Loki's minions all wear masks to hide their identities.
* MerchandiseDriven: The show was launched with a tie-in toyline centered around the show's transformable disks.
* MilesGloriosus: Such a concept is no stranger to Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man. [[CloserToEarth Pepper Potts is of course embarrassed by it]], but Akira takes the flash and flair with awe.
* TheMole: One of Loki's minions, Smart Brain, is a SHIELD scientist aboard the Hellicarrier, and is thus able to keep Fury and the rest of SHIELD from intervening to stop Loki's plans in episode two.

* SadisticChoice: Loki and his allies force the heroes to submit to being sealed inside disks by holding Pepper Potts hostage.
* SealedGoodInACan: Most of the world's superheroes have been trapped inside specialized containment disks.

** One villain's name is [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Smart Brain]].
* SleepModeSize: whenever recovering inside their DISKS, the Avengers can only interact with the outside world through small holograms.

* SpoiledSweet: Jessica is noted to be from a rich family, yet she is quick to strike up friendly conversations with the aloof Chris and shy and introverted Ed.
* SuperRegistrationAct: It get's enforced by the president under the orders of Senator Robert in episode 9.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: To defeat the Lizard, Iron Man uses a [[WaveMotionGun ridiculously huge Uni-beam]] that takes more than ten seconds to use.
* UnexpectedCharacter: The first trailer shows some longtime Marvel mainstays like Comicbook/WarMachine, Comicbook/{{Venom}}, and the [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]], but also contains some truly obscure choices like the Fixer and Death Adder.
** Pepper Potts turns out to be fairly important as the kids "handler" as well. Likewise Agent Coulson appears in the first episode as a SHIELD tour guide.
** Among the superheroes that form the entourage of Tony's presentation are two X-Men. At least Beast [[note]]a high-profile member of the Avengers before[[/note]] would have a right to be there, but Cyclops?
** Nevermind that. Surge later shows up in Japan. Although like Armor in the X-men anime, it's probably because she's Japanese.
* WhatTheHellHero: Tony Stark got called out twice in the first episode. First, why hold a party announcing to the world about his new toy??? Second, why hold a party on an island filled with imprisoned supervillains???
** He got called out again by Pepper Potts in Episode 3 for saving the children first when he can swoop her on the way up to save the children.
* WolverinePublicity: The Avengers used in the show are the ones from [[Film/TheAvengers the movie]] (minus Comicbook/BlackWidow and Hawkeye). Spider-Man (who is an A-lister in his own right and [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff very big in Japan]]) and the Wasp are the only non-movie Avengers, at least at the start. The trope namer even appears in Episode 16.

* AgeLift: Notably, Tony Stark comes off look quite a bit younger then in most adaptations where he ''isn't'' [[WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures supposed to be a teenager]]. For example, his facial hair is limited to a tuft on his chin. This was probably done to make him a better match aesthetically to ShonenHero lead Akira.

'''Marvel Disc Wars: The Avengers''', is a {{Shonen}} {{superhero}} {{anime}} series created as a collaboration between Creator/ToeiAnimation (makers of the venerable ''Anime/SailorMoon'', ''Anime/PrettyCure'', ''Franchise/OnePiece'', and ''Franchise/DragonBall'' [[CashCowFranchise Cash Cow Franchises]]), Creator/{{Disney}}, and Creator/MarvelComics.

Based off Marvel's popular ''[[Franchise/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' franchise, the series sees ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Comicbook/IronMan, Franchise/SpiderMan, ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], and ComicBook/TheWasp teaming up with a group of teens to track down the world's superheroes, who have been locked away in special discs by Comicbook/{{Loki}}.

The story begins when Tony Stark is revealing a new technology called Discs to the public. The technology is meant to make the holding and rehabilitation of supervillains safer and easier. Most of the world's most famous superheroes are present. Meanwhile, a boy from Japan named Akira and his brother go to visit their father, who has been away from home working on the technology, and a group of teenagers get lost at the event.

Loki quickly crashes the party and manages to get the upper hand when he takes Pepper Potts hostage. He promptly steals the discs for himself and imprisons almost all of the heroes present, hoping to use the Disc technology to force them to work for him. However, to command the discs, one has to have a "bio code" installed in them, and an odd chain of events leads to Akira and the others receiving the bio codes instead of Loki. Now, with Spider-Man being just about the only superhero left completely free and Iron Man only able to function with Akira's help, its up to the kids to find the rest of the heroes in the world until they can be freed.

* MerchandiseDriven: The show was launched with a tie-in toyline centered around the show's transformable discs.

** The kids wielding Captain America and the Hulk's Discs are named Chris and Ed as a nod to Creator/ChrisEvans and Creator/EdwardNorton, the actors who played Cap and Hulk in the two [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier movies]] and ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', respectively.

* SadisticChoice: Loki and his allies force the heroes to submit to being sealed inside discs by holding Pepper Potts hostage.
* SealedGoodInACan: Most of the world's superheroes have been trapped inside specialized containment discs.

** One of the villain's name is [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Smart Brain.]]

* TheMentor: To the five kids, Spider-man.

* MagicByAnyOtherName: Loki's minions say the villain Diablo is controlling the Hulk through magic but Diablo corrects them, telling them he does it through Alchemy.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: To defeat the Lizard, Iron Man uses a ridiculously huge Uni-beam that takes more than ten seconds to use.
