Is still Yzma and as such to important to be this.


* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Guaca, Kuzco's LoonyFan quickly became an AscendedExtra and even got some CharacterDevelopment.
** Young Yzma is quite popular despite only appearing in one episode, and not even more than 3-4 minutes of it at that. This is due to a combination of satisfying fans’ curiosity of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin seeing what Yzma looked like when she was young]], her young version [[IWasQuiteALooker looking very cute]], and being voiced by Creator/GreyDelisle in almost exactly the same way as [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]], reminding fans of another beloved character.

** A handful of scenes in "The Mystery of Micchu Pachu" are pretty unsettling, most of all when the skeleton anteater first appears: the ominous, ghostly growl echoing from the dark halls, followed by the scowling, rattling abomination slowly emerging from the shadows with a raspy, animalistic moan that will haunt a young kid's nightmares. Fortunately from there the episode devolves into a Scooby-Doo parody, but the initial moment is remarkably frightening.

* HoYay: Guaca's strong attention to Kuzco, to the point of getting a statue of him at the end of "[[Recap/TheEmperorsNewSchoolS2E12AGiftmasStory A Giftmas Story]]", may be interpreted as him having more than just platonic feelings for him.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: The series reused so many jokes from the original movie so many times that, to a certain extent at least, the jokes ended up becoming more annoying than funny.
** The episode "Evil and Eviler" [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] this for Yzma and Kronk's usual secret lab routine. Firstly, when Yzma tells Kronk to pull the lever, Kronk does, causing something they've seen before to come down. He then keeps pulling the lever saying "Seen that, seen that" until they flip in. Next, the "Roller Coaster Inside The Lab" joke was used so many times that the coaster announcer actually couldn't come up with something witty to say that hadn't been said before. When they get to the lab, Yzma struggles to think of something new to turn Kuzco into and suggests several previous animals she turned him into, including a llama. Kronk asks, "You're kidding, right?"

* MagnificentBitch: "[[Recap/TheEmperorsNewSchoolS1E17KuzcogartenEvilAndEviler Evil and Eviler":Miss Ni is an emperor exterminator hired by Yzma to kill Kuzco, and she takes her job seriously. She rejects Yzma's ideas right away, pointing out [[DeadpanSnarker Yzma wouldn't have hired her if they were any good]] before kicking Yzma out of her own office. Acting as Vice Principal, she tempts Kuzco into pulling a prank on her so that she can send him to solitary detention to feed him to crocodiles. Her plan only fails because Yzma [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou refuses to let Ni be the one to kill Kuzco]] and saves him. However, even this was foreseen by Miss Ni who tells Yzma she knew the scary old lady would have a change of heart before giving Yzma the bill to her services, [[XanatosGambit showing she would win regardless of whether or not her plan to kill Kuzco succeeded]].

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Was ''heavily'' reliant on gags and jokes taken from the movie, most of which tended to appear once in every episode. It's not unusual to find fans who feel this did more to hold back the series than it was actually funny. That's to say nothing of Kuzco's apparent AesopAmnesia since the first film.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Kuzco in "Groove Remover". Sure, it was cruel of everyone in Kuzco Academy to laugh at Kuzco's unpleasant appearance, thanks to Yzma's potion soap, but he really had it coming--throughout the first half of the episode, he made fun of his classmates' flaws, so the viewers may think that possessing those flaws and being laughed at is pure karma for Kuzco.

* BrokenBase: Kuzco's going back to being an egotistical jerk has been a sore spot amongst fans. Some despise it, feeling it [[AesopAmnesia undermines the arc and everything he]] he underwent in ''Emperor's New Groove''. Others though are okay with it, arguing that it was unrealistic for him to grow out of his habits completely, given he had been spoiled since he was a ''baby''. Some also argue that his CharacterDevelopment is kept somewhat intact, given that he is more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold here as opposed to the unlikable {{Jerkass}} he was in the first film pre-development.
