8	[[folder: Senkuns: General Tropes]]
9	From the main team:
10	* AnimalMotifs: The senkuns originally designed with an animal and an element in mind:
11	** Zak: Rooster
12	** Chloe: Deer
13	** Kiet: Panda
14	** Fenzy: Squirrel
15	* In season 3, each senkun will get a sen beast as a companion, which are:
16	** Zak: Phoenix
17	** Chloe: Unicorn
18	** Lon: Chinese Dragon
19	** Kiet: Bull
20	** Fenzy: Lynx
21	* AnimeHair: Cloe, Kiet and Fenzy are characters with some of the most extravagant hair on the show, and it seems to be natural. It could be that their earth runs on anime hair color logic, as Ron, their bully, also has fuschia hair and brows. Curiously, all the senkun's parents have normal hair, Zak inheriting that particular shade of blonde from his father. Subverted with Lon, whose hair is a very normal black, only getting red streaks in his sendokai warrior form.
22	* CallingYourAttacks: Like almost everyone on the show. Only once did Zak perform a technique without naming it, and it was precisely because he did not know his name.
23	* ColorCodedCharacters:
24	** Zak: Yellow.
25	** Chloe: Blue.
26	** Kiet: Green.
27	** Fenzy: Pink.
28	** Lon: Red, though his hair isn't as color-coded as the rest of the senkuns, only getting red streaks instead of a full head of red hair.
29	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Each one has eyes and hair of their characteristic color. Subverted with Lon, who has black hair and green eyes despite his color being red.
30	* ElementalHairColors: each of the original 4 senkuns was designed around an animal and an element, which were:
31	** Zak: Fire
32	** Cloe: Wind
33	** Kiet: Earth
34	** Fenzy: Lightning
35	* FacialMarkings: After transforming.
36	* FormFittingWardrobe: Present in their normal outfits, much more noticeable in their Sendokai uniforms
37	%%* LawofChromaticSuperiority
38	* MyNaymeIs: Yes, it's spelled Zak and Cloe, ''not'' Zack and Chloe
39	* MeaningfulName: Each of the Senkuns' names is an english word that got butchered:
40	** Cloe got derived from ''clue''less
41	** Kiet got derived from ''quiet''
42	** Fenzy got derived from ''frenzy''
43	** Lon's name hasn't been confirmed by the creators, but it's not hard to guess, given the rest, that it probably got derived from a''lon''e
44	* OnlyOneName: The kids are only known for their names, their surnames are unknown.
45	* TechnicolorEyes: Each one has an intense color that matches the color of their Sen energy. Subverted with Lon, whose colour is red yet his eyes are green, then played straight, for at his lowest point when he's seething that he HATES everyone and everything we can see that his eyes have turned red.
46	* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Justified most of the time, invoking their uniforms alongside the Senrok is a step in starting the Sendokai party.
47	* TrueCompanions: They are very close to each other. A curious case in which they were already good friends from the beginning of the series, with their bonds becoming closer as they faced challenges together.

51	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zak_humano.jpg]]
52	[[caption-width-right:1000:Zak's original Earth form]]

54	->'''Debut:''' "Sen-Do-Kai"\
55	'''Voiced by:''' Álex de Porrata (Spanish)
56
57	Impulsive and headstrong, yet with a kind and courageous heart, Zak was an average thirteen year old until four bracelets dropped from the sky to turn him and his friends into Sendokai warriors to save their planet. Since then, Zak has tried his best to be a good leader and a good friend, and has grown by facing his feelings, and yet also know when to set them aside to focus on bigger things.
58
59	----
60
61	* {{Expy}}: He bears more of a passing resemblance to Goku from DragonBall.
62	* {{Determinator}}: His defining trait. If it weren't for Zak being so stubborn and headstrong, they would have never even become senkuns, let alone sendokai warriors, and in their lowest points where all seems lost it's always Zak who manages to rally the team to overcome impossible odds, and always tries his hardest to do right by everyone.
63	* HappyDance: It's something he likes to do, and as the name indicates whether he does it or not is a very clear sign of his state of mind.
64	* [[HairofGoldHeartofGold Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold]]: Blonde to match his naturally kind and heroic personality.
65	* TheLeader: or Hakuru, but even before the second season Zak was very clearly the Headstrong flavor, with shades of Charismatic and adopting some Levelheaded traits as the second season went on and Zak found his resolve.
66	* RousingSpeech: Gave a really impressive one in episode 50, and is always the one who rallies his friends to keep fighting when all hope seems lost.
67	%%* TheHero:
68	%%* HotBlooded:
69	%%* KamehameHadoken:
70	%%* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang:

77	->'''Debut:''' "Sen-Do-Kai"\
78	'''Voiced by:''' Carmen Calvell (Spanish)
79	----
80	%%* ActionGirl
81	* CombatClairvoyance: The first technique that she learns consists of this, her second technique consists of interrupting this on the opponents in addition to teleporting her.
82	%%* BoyishShortHair
83	* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Soccer is one of her hobbies and she plays Sendokai - magical soccer combat - just as well as the rest of the team.
84	%%* TheLancer
85	* TheSmartGirl: She's a quick thinker and gets the best grades within their friend group, and her abilities have her often playing strategist and coordinating their team plays.
86	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Fenzy's Tomboy.
87	* YouAreNotAlone: Dropped this line to Lon twice; the first time it pulled him out of a SupernaturalFearInducer vision. The second time...[[ThatLiarLies didn't]] [[FreakOut turn out so well.]]

90	[[folder:Kiet]]
91	->'''Debut:''' "Sen-Do-Kai"\
92	'''Voiced by:''' David Jenner (Spanish)
93	----
94	* BarrierWarrior: His characteristic technique.
95	* BigEater: He likes to eat.
96	* LazyBum: His main flaw, the official website even describes him as the laziest boy in the multiverse. At the beginning of the series, this was bordering on an unhealthy level, being reluctant to help others and fulfill his obligations. Overcoming this was the central part of his character development.
97	* TheBigGuy: The most robust of the group, and his techniques are based on defense and forcefulness.
98	* MightyGlacier: Along with the above, he stands out as the slowest but most resistant member of the group.
99	* ToughSpikesAndStuds: His Wadaan armor has spiked shoulder pads and he's the most muscular guy on the team.
100	%%* TremorTrampoline
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Fenzy]]
104	->'''Debut:''' "Sen-Do-Kai"\
105	'''Voiced by:''' Ariadna Jiménez (Spanish)
106	----
107	%%* ActionGirl:
108	%%* TheBigGuy:
109	* CuteBruiser: She is a small girl, but perfectly competent in Sendokai.
110	* LightningBruiser: Less bruiser and more tank. She is the fastest of the group, and two of her three techniques are shields, one of which also gives her a speed boost.
111	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Cloe's Girly Girl.
112	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be very rude and somewhat aggressive, but she has her heart in the right place and loves her friends and family very much.
113	* DisappearedDad: Her father is dead, implied to be recently, and Fenzy is still actively mourning him at the beginning of the series.
114	%%* TagAlongKid
115	* TornadoMove: Her level 2 technique summons a tornado to attract the Dö.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Lon / The Great Zorn: ]]
119	->'''Debut:''' "A New Adventure"\
120	'''Voiced by:''' Ángel de Gracia (Spanish)
121	----
122	* AllYourPowersCombined: PlayedWith. Every time he uses one of the team moves, he can copy the abilities and powers from the teammates he has done the move with - it doesn't have to be a successful move either, or only learn one at a time, as we see when he uses the failed Nero-Sen fusion to learn all the other powers the Senkuns have and use them against Zak's team.
123	* AntiHero: In the first half of Season 2, Lon was brash and arrogant but genuinely tried to do good, until his jealousy and the perceived betrayal of those he considered his friends led him to snap and seriously hurt his opponents, almost killing Zak and Kido.
124	* AxCrazy: Lon completely lost his papers in the last Sendokai he took part in, hurting his opponents out of misguided rage when he could have won already and stopped listening to the words of his friends.
125	* TheBadGuyWins: To Chronam Yatt's satisfaction, she managed to get Lon to turn away from his friends and become an intergalactic dictator by baiting him with the power to right all injustices in the world, if only he would take that helmet.
126	* BigBad: He turns The Great Zorn, who up until this point has been the overarching antagonist of the first season and whose rise they were trying to prevent in the second.
127	* DownerEnding: Season 2 ends with Lom seemingly attacking the city and kidnapping Cloe to make her his empress. Subverted as the Season 3 preliminary clip reveals that he actually kidnapped her to ask for her help to save Earth from a greater threat.
128	%%* EmoTeen: Sensitive, likes music, and feels like he can't trust anyone and will always be alone because his family fell apart from under him, left with an unloving father who is implied has blamed him at some point for his wife leaving.
129	%%* {{Expy}}: Lon is based upon Raimundo Pedrosa and his personality has shades of Superboy-Prime and Vegeta (Pre HeelFaceTurn) to be precise) {{Word Of God}} confirmed that he was based on these characters, though.
130	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He wants to make friends and save their dimension, but his own flaws lead him to become an intergalactic tyrant and kidnap Cloe, except that he wants to make a more just world and just took Cloe to ask for her help to save the Earth...it's enough to make you dizzy!
131	* FallenHero: The tragedy of it all is that Lon genuinely tries to be good and do good, but trapped as he is by the psychological wounds his parents left on him, he is unable to move on, and in the end his desire to acquire the power to be able to correct injustice and get revenge on those who wronged him leads him to become the Great Zorn and give up on the senkuns.
132	* {{Hypocrite}}: Accuses Zak of stealing his position in the team and Cloe from him when it's Lon who is the newcomer to the team, and in a scene where he took all the powers of the senkuns onto himself. Who's the real thief here...
133	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Lon truly tried to be friends with the senkuns, but was unable to move past his trauma to see that it doesn't have to be all or nothing, and that just because the team disagreed with what he was doing and refused to follow him, it didn't mean they were traitors or any less his friends.
134	* {{Irony}}: Lon seems convinced Zak for stole everything from him, but he calls Zak a thief in the match where Lon copied all of the senkun's powers to fight Zak by himself when it became apparent that the team wasn't willing to hate Zak in Lon's behalf. With this, it becomes tragically apparent that Lon is the cuckoo in the nest here - he's so incredibly jealous of what Zak has - his friends, his position in the team, the girl he likes - that instead of trying to make his own spot in the team, Lon attempted to fulfill Zak's role when the later left, and fell apart when he found himself unable to live up to it.
135	%%* KnightOfCerebus: Every time he appears, the episode becomes deadly serious.
136	* ParentalAbandonment: Previous to the series, his mom ran off with a coworker and Lon never saw her again. This left such an emotional wound in him that all his issues can be traced down to this, and it's only aggravated when his father leaves him behind for an overseas work trip with no planned return date.
137	* Really700YearsOld: Thanks to the Helmet of the Great Zorn, to which Chronam-Yatt granted immortality, he still looks 14 even if he had to reach the present day the long way after being stuck millions of years in the past.
138	%%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Initially downplayed, being an antihero and the least likable of the bunch, but at least he was still trying to be good. After his Face-Heel Turn it was played completely straight, to the point of being considered a foreshadowing.
139	* TheCynic: Lon, despite attempts to prove the opposite to himself, in the end comes to despair that his father was right, his friendship with the senkuns was false and he is as alone as he's always been.
140	* TragicVillain: Despite what he would become, Lon was just a kid who wanted help. If his parents had not been so horrible to him and to each other, had his father not pounded into his head to not trust anybody... he had many qualities that would have made him a good friend and a great asset to the team, and eventually a hero. However, he quietly spiralled further and further, and in the end turned into warped version of himself while his friends were helpless to do anything but watch (Zak and Cloe in particular looked absolutely heartbroken)

143	[[folder:Allies]]
144	!!Tänpo
145
146	The mentor of the protagonists. He’s an old master of Sendokai and pass down his knowledge to the kids so they can become great Sendokai warriors and save the Earth.
147	----
148	%%* CoolOldGuy
149	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He lost the last Sendokai Tournament, which led to his allies joining the Zorn.
150	* {{Expy}}: He’s an old little green alien who serves as the mentor of the protagonist. [[Franchise/StarWars Sounds familiar?]]
151	%%* {{Flight}}
152	%%* LittleGreenMan
153	* TheMentor: Teaches the Senkuns Sendokai from scratch, and did it well enough that in less than a year they became the best in the multiverse.
154	* OldMaster: He is old even by the standards of his species, which has a life expectancy greater than 20,000 years of age.
155	%%* RetiredBadass
156	%%* TheSmartGuy
157	%%* SoleSurvivor
158	%%* TeleportSpam
159
160	!!Lula
161	* BadassAdorable: Like her species, despite her size and appearance she is good at Sendokai.
162	%%* BeTheBall
163	%%* TeamPet
164
165	!!Lalith
166	%%*MultiArmedAndDangerous
167
168	!!Kento/Zorn Marshal
169	%%*DoNotCallMePaul
170	* HoverMecha He pilots one as his armor.
171
172	!!Kido
173	%%*
174
175	!!Danima
176	* TheMentor: She teaches the Senkuns Masara's most powerful abilities, the Duo-Sen powers.
177	* OldMaster: Not quite as impressive as Tänpo's over 20,000, but she's over 3,000 years old and very visibly an old lady.
178
179	!!Chronam-Sunn
180	* ADeathInTheLimelight: She gets very few appearances, which are very short and meaningless, until she ''finally'' confronts her sister to stop her evil plans...only to get absorbed for Chronam Yatt's EvilMakeover immediately after.
181	* AscendedExtra: She doesn't quite shake the extra label, but as the Goddess of Good she's supposed to be much more important than the one-off opponent from the first season.
182	* CainAndAbel: The Abel to her sister's Cain.
183	* DarkIsNotEvil: Black from head to toe to contrast her sister's white, and the Godess of Good.
184	* DivineConflict: Implied; her and her sister were created as opposites to keep the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil in the multiverse, so they're in constant conflict to defend their side, though Chronam-Sunn doesn't want to hurt her sister. The sentiment is not returned.
185	* [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Forgot About Her Powers]]: You have to wonder why exactly she didn't try to take a peek into the future to see exactly what her sister was planning. Would have saved her from the nasty shock of Chronam Yatt telling her Sidmodius was just a puppet and her true objective was Lon.
186	* GodOfGood: Made by the sen gods to keep the balance of good in the multiverse.
187	* OutOfFocus: You'd think she's get more screentime, since the main antagonist in s2 is her sister, but no dice. And her first long appearance since season one turns out to be ADeathInTheLimelight (see above)
188
189	[[/folder]]
190
191	[[folder:Villains]]
192	!!Lon's Father
193	* AbusiveParents: Not physically, but psychologically - he taught his own son to not trust in anybody, least of all his friends.
194	* {{Foil}}: To Zak's father, and if you think a bit about it, to Zak's family situation in season 1. Where Zak's dad is jovial and encourages his son to have fun, providing sound advice so Zak can continue to grow as a person, Lon's father only teaches Lon to be as nihilistic and embittered as he is, blaming and projecting his wounds on everyone around him.
195	* {{Jerkass}}: The WORST, and boy do I mean W O R S T, parental figure in the series.
196	* StrawNihilist: he disdains things like love and friendship, not believing they exist, and lectures his own son about how he shouldn't trust anyone and only look out for himself.
197	* NoNameGiven: In the credits his only called ''Lon's Father'' - he never gets a name, not even in the narratives.
198	* {{We Hardly Knew Ye}}: A not-lethal example, and almost glad for it because he was awful. He left his son to a travel around the globe before we even get to know him better, leaving poor Lon only with his very questionable lessons, many questions and no way to answer them or seek guidance or help.
199
200	!!Sidmodius
201	%%* EvilGenius
202	* AscendedExtra: From scraping and bowing to the Marshal's every word to the main antagonist of season 2, threatening to usurp the spot of the biggest bad guy in the whole multiverse
203
204	!!Chronam Yatt
205	* AscendedExtra: Always hinted at being more than she seemed and having some secret plan of her own, but from Sidmodius' helper to the brains behind the main antagonist to the Goddess of Evil is a pretty big twist.
206	* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Drops quite the speech about this:
207	-->"There's others that fight for me and they don't even know it! Because evil lives in every single being. As long there is someone suffering, someone hurting, someone alone, ''I'' will make the flame of hatred inside them grow, and make them my ''servant''. That's why it's impossible to defeat me, and ''that's'' why, ''sister'', evil ''will reign once again''."
208	* CainAndAbel: The Cain to her sister's Abel, she absorbed her sister after declaring that, unlike her, she doesn't care about hurting her.
209	* DivineConflict: Implied; her and her sister were created as opposites to keep the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil in the multiverse, so they're in constant conflict to defend their side, though Chronam-Sunn doesn't want to hurt her sister. The sentiment is not returned.
210	* EvilMakeover: Gets red highlights once she absorbs her sister, which honestly look really cool.
211	* GodOfEvil: The Goddess of Evil created by the Sen Gods to keep the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil in the multiverse.
212	* LightIsNotGood: White from head to toe to her sister's black and the Godess of Evil.
213
214	!!Kazkrad
215	%%* TheDragon:
216	* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: to Zak]].
217	* FreudianExcuse: In the 4th narrative, Kazkrad easily admits that "there's something far better than to avoid suffering - to cause it"
