* TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: This is simultaneously their greatest advantage ''and'' greatest handicap. Since ancient Atlantis fell over 10,000 years earlier, nearly all advanced Atlantean technology and weaponry has been lost to history (or was sabotaged by Nemo in the series backstory). If they'd had any of this at their disposal 13 years ago, the Neo-Atlanteans would've quickly easily steamrolled humanity and conquered the world. However, while the technology itself is gone, the Neo-Atlanteans ''still'' possess the collective knowledge of their ancestors; they're just limited by what can be reproduced with conventional 19th Century materials and technology. But what they ''can'' duplicate remains ''far'' more advanced than anything in the current era and gives them more than an enough of an edge to outlcass late 19th Century hummanity and hold their own against Nemo and the ''Nautilus''. This is also why Gargoyle is so hellbent on acquiring the Blue Water: it's the control key for locating and accessing the one cache of ancient Atlantean technology and weaponry that Gargoyle knows ''is'' still intact somewhere on the planet (i.e. ''Red Noah'').

* TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: A variation. Since ancient Atlantis fell over 10,000 years earlier, nearly all advanced Atlantean technology has been lost to history. However, while the technology itself is gone, the Neo-Atlanteans ''still'' possess the collective knowledge of ancient Atlantis. While they're limited by what they can reproduce with conventional 19th Century materials and technology, that knowledge nonethless still gives them more than an enough of an edge to outlcass late 19th Century hummanity and hold their own against Nemo and the ''Nautilus''. This is also why Gargoyle is so hellbent on acquiring the Blue Water: it's the control key for locating and accessing the one cache of ancient Atlantean technology and weaponry that Gargoyle knows ''is'' still intact somewhere (i.e. ''Red Noah'').

* TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: Played straight in the opening episodes when they're still pursuing Jean and Nadia. Since Hanson is an engineering genius, the ''Gratan'' gives them the edge in their operational engines. However, they then meet their match going against the ''Abraham'' in Episode 03 and then Neo-Atlantis of course ultimately outclasses and eclipses them with their own ''much'' superior technology and weapons beginning during the Cape Verde arc.

* TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: The Neo-Atlanteans are an interesting twist on this trope. Since ancient Atlantis fell over 10,000 years earlier, nearly all advanced Atlantean technology has been lost to history. However, while the technology itself is gone, the Neo-Atlanteans ''still'' possess the collective knowledge of ancient Atlantis. While they're limited by what they can reproduce with conventional 19th Century materials and technology, that knowledge nonethless still gives them more than an enough edge to outlcass late 19th Century hummanity and hold their own against Nemo and the ''Nautilus''. This is also why Gargoyle is so hellbent on acquiring the Blue Water: it's the control key for locating and accessing the one cache of ancient Atlantean technology and weaponry that Gargoyle knows ''is'' still intact somewhere (i.e. ''Red Noah'').

* HeroicSacrifice: The Tank is destroyed in the penultimate episode to

* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: They believe that, to bring peace among humans, the jackboots and the iron heels of Neo Atlantis are the ebst path for this. To do this, they will not flinch to methods such as massacres or mass enslavement.

* FlyingSaucer: Literally (which plays into the Alien Invasion aspect.
