** RivalTurnedEvil: Though Zane was always evil, once Lokar's out of the picture [[spoiler:or so it seems...]] and he finds his X-Drive, he really loses it, declaring himself the one in charge over his own teammates and later even Team Imperiaz. He even dons Lokar's tattered robe as a cloak for emphasis.

* ParentsInDistress: The Imperiaz only work for Lokar because he is keeping their parents as hostages. In season 2 episode "The Escape of the Imperiaz", Diara, Kaz, and Teeny finally find their parents Nan and Berkby in a crystal prison in a cavern, only to run smack into [[DragonAscendant Team Radikor]]. Zane then forces them to work for him under the same stipulations as Lokar.

* YankTheDogsChain: Team Imperiaz in regards to rescuing their parents. All of season 1, Lokar was blackmailing them to find him Kairu with no inclination that he

''Redakai: Conquer The Kairu'' is a MerchandiseDriven cartoon series and card game developed by SpinMaster. The game centers around cards (Called "[[CallARabbitASmeerp X-drives]]") that are made of clear plastic and have several transparent portions. There are three types of cards: Characters, who you start with three of, Monsters, which change the defenses and abilities of characters, and attacks, which damage opponents. First player to knock out all three of their opponents wins.

The Cartoon centers around a boy named Ky Stax and his friends Boomer and Maya who quest around the world trying to collect an energy called "Kairu", the life energy of the universe before the villain Lokar and his minions find it first. They do this by fighting other teams and transforming into monsters. The episodes are different every week without an overarcing plot.

* BrokenAesop: A horribly botched GreenAesop in episode five. Maya leads the charge to protect a forest by ''[[KillItWithFire hurling a huge tornado made of pure fire within said forest.]]''

** Episode four is about a {{macguffin}} which siphons Kairu from the surrounding forest, causing it to wither and die. Once the macguffin is dealt with the forest instantly heals, sending the message that environmental damage is easy to fix.

* CashCowFranchise: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] [[InvokedTrope It was intended to be one]] if the huge amounts of promotions and merchandise are any indication. It was likely being groomed as the successor to {{Bakugan}}, but the lackluster TV show and high prices dashed it against the rocks.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: So, in a universe imbued with a sort of [[StarWars life-energy that can imbue the user with powers and move objects, as well as having a light side and a dark side]], [[{{Naruto}} a team of super-powered kids consisting of]] TwoGuysAndAGirl get in fights by [[{{Chaotic}} using special devices with large screens and cards in order to transform into monsters and fight]].

* SeriesContinuityError: In episode 1, Team Stax kicks rocks at/throws rocks at/levels the ground below several mooks of Villain of the Day who had no Kairu powers. Six episodes later, surrounded by tribespeople wielding weapons, Team Stax reminds the Imperiaz that it's against the "Kairu Code" to attack someone who isn't a Kairu Warrior. It's either this, or Team Stax is a bunch of [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkass Protagonists]].

* CaptainObviousAesop: The pilot had the aesop "Slavery is bad." Really, there weren't enough plot points or other threads for the moral to be anything else. The "Taunting someone for a skin-blemish" potential moral is never closed. Nope. Slavery is bad.
