* FromNobodyToNightmare: Skylands' pirates ''can'' be dangerous, but most are generally considered {{Starter Villain}}s for rookie Skylanders and fodder for experienced ones. With the Skylanders' powers gone, however, they've become a much larger threat and thus become much more major threats to the point the Skylanders actively have to run from SkyPirates they'd normally have no issue with. The secondary threat of the arc are a massive alliance of pirates.

* EvilVersusEvil: A massive group of pirates is rampaging through the area near Pearl Plunge, presenting a massive problem. To help deal with it given their lost powers, several Skylanders trick the pirates into disturbing a kingdom of troll revenants nearby, leading to a large battle between the two to weaken the pirates.
* HeroicRROD: Like Cinder II, Sonar's powers being gone means she's been unable to actually feed on negative emotions since they were taken. As a result, she collapses early in the mission, beginning to starve to death. Fortunately, Havok has a spell that let's him transfer his vexation to her directly and save her.
* OhCrap: Sonar, and then the rest of her party, understandably panic when they learn malevolent Oceanaiads are in the area, given how powerful and dangerous Oceanaiads are.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Sonar starts starving to death, Pyro III swollows his pride despite his massive ego and genuinely asks Havok to save her.

* AdaptationExpansion: AdaptationAmalgamation: The plot is loosely based off of ''VideoGame/SkylandersSuperChargers'', with Havok having created the Sky Eater and the heroes stopping him, only for the Darkness to become the FinalBoss.

* MythologyGag: Like in [[VideoGame/SkylandersSpyrosAdventure the first game]], the plot sees the Core of Light shattered into its component pieces by the villain in a battle the Skylanders were defeated and reduced to a powerless state in.

* AdaptationExpansion: The Legendary skylanders in the toyline have some lore about them, but largely are just chase figures with higher stats. Here, they're an ancient power given to heroes who have completed great trials, and a DismantledMacGuffin key to potentially restoring the heroes' lost powers.

* TakeThat: It's noted that the tech and skill savvy heroes among the Skylanders were entirely supportive of their friends who lost their powers, helping them and promise to help them get their powers back (and were partially depowered themselves due to losing access to Magitech and racial magic), but some of them go on an ego trip and tried to act superior. They were promptly shut up and reminding it wasn't an '[[ComicBook/JLAActOfGod act of god to humble them]]', but their friends being crippled and in some cases rendered comatose. WordOfGod has confirmed the Depower plot point and the heroes' response to it was a big middle finger to ''ComicBook/JLAActOfGod'' in general, which the Codex writers utterly despise.

** A more subtle one is that the heroes do ''not'' give up and angst about their lost powers, rather just continuing to try and help however they can. What angst ''does'' happen is due to being unable to save people or the loss of power coming with another, much more serious loss or crippling (such as Gale Wings' children being locked in their eggs or Cinder II and Sonar being left unable to feed and in danger of starving to death).
