* TheScrappy: Mookee. He is [[TheMillstone TheMillstone]] whenever he does '''anything''' other than pilot Team Stax's ship; his voice is annoying and he comes across as a [[EthnicScrappy racist caricature of Asians]] with his [[UnfortunateImplications Fu Manchu mustache, squinty eyes and buck teeth]]. In one episode he wants to be a Kairu warrior and when Team Stax lets him he spends the whole fight fanboying then trips and accidentally fires a laser at the tree they were trying to protect. After being called out on this he promises to get better; then in the next fight [[TooDumbToLive he screws up again]] but gets lucky and saves the day through his clumsiness. [[DesignatedHero Everyone treats him like a great hero for this]], but at least they decide not to let him be a Kairu warrior anymore. Whether or not his infrequent appearances after early season 1 is a good thing or not is up to you.

* 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 "[[DudeNotFunny Taunting someone for a skin-blemish]]" potential moral is never closed. Nope. Slavery is bad.

* TheyJustDidntCare - The "Battacor", a very popular team, often dubbed "Bro-tacor" by fans, were unceremoniously thrown out of the show at the end of the first season.
** The product design in general: Half of the products functioned very poorly despite their high prices and the cards were made in such a way that, even with the dark case required to play, cheating is not only feasible, but practically ''unavoidable'' once the deck is thinned out a little.

Not to mention it depicts absolutely everyone else who lives in the world as a bunch of backwards, third-world savages (Except the [[MightyWhitey White]] paleontologist).

* Darthwiki/SoBadItsHorrible: Especially considering that they wanted Redakai to have a strong organized play scene. The show talks down to the audience with such broad, obvious morals as "Slavery is bad", often delivers them poorly (A [[GreenAesop "Save the trees" moral]] is spearheaded by someone hurling a [[KillItWithFire flaming flame-spiral of flame]] to [[TooDumbToLive protect said forest]]) and the bad parts aren't even funny enough to laugh at, so there is no Camp Appeal like what Marathon usually runs on.
