27----
28!!This series provides examples of:
29
30[[foldercontrol]]
31
32[[folder:A-B]]
33* AccidentalKiss: In ''Royal Occupation'', [[spoiler: Tucker accidentally kissed a brainwashed Jazz when he tried to block her view. Fortunately, it helped to undo his froggy transformation. Also, as a ContinuityNod to the cartoon, Tucker mumbled about the one with Sam in "[[Recap/DannyPhantomS1E18LifeLessons Life Lessons]]".]]
34* AccidentalMisnaming: [[spoiler:Burner's ghost Doberman Desile was initially named Diesel, but the place where he ordered the dog tags spelled it wrong and they just went with it]].
35* ActionDressRip: When [[spoiler: Aragon transforms Amity Park into his new kingdom, he brainwashes Danielle into a maiden. After she comes out of it, upon realizing what she's wearing, she transforms so angrily that her dress ''[[ClothingDamage explodes]]'']].
36* ActionGirlfriend: Sam, big time.
37* ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler: Vlad is revealed as one]] in ''A Family Thing'' with the real deal long gone. He also did this during the climatic battle of the first story of the series.
38* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
39** In "Facing the Future", this was [[spoiler: Future Danny's]] reaction to Jack, Maddie, and Jazz getting trapped in Jack's Ecto Bondo.
40** In ''A Family Thing'', [[spoiler: this is Tucker's reaction to Danny and Sam accidentally getting sucked into the Fenton Ghost Weasel, much to their chagrin. They get a laugh of their own when Jack accidentally shoots Tucker with the Fenton Foamer]].
41** In "Ancient History", Danny couldn't help but find it amusing that Sam, a die-hard vegetarian, smelled like barbecue sauce after a battle with the Lunch Lady.
42* AdaptationalVillainy: Vlad here is shown to be entirely unrepentant for his actions from the main series, being just as horrid and obsessed with Maddie and considered BeyondRedemption. Contrast that with his depiction in ''ComicBook/DannyPhantomAGlitchInTime'', where [[spoiler:while he ''did'' start out like this, he ultimately had a HeelFaceTurn and became the new caretaker of a reborn Dark Danny.]] A JustifiedTrope in that ''A Glitch In Time'' came out ''long'' after this series, and this series based its characterization of Vlad on a more rerailed version of his at the time canon characterization.
43* ADayInTheLimelight:
44** [[spoiler: Danielle]] in ''Junior Hijinks''.
45** Tucker in ''Ancient History''.
46* AffectionateNickname:
47** Played with in "Bad Breakup", where it's revealed that Sam would call Danny 'Baby' to convince him to let her get away with causing mischief with her ghost powers. It worked for a bit until he finally told her to stop.
48** Parodied in ''A Family Thing'', where Danny mistook Sam's cry of 'Honey!' to be this instead of a warning that the ghost bee they were fighting [[FunWithHomophones was shooting honey at them]]. She then mentions that she ''is'' coming up with a pet name for him, but she required more time.
49* [[ABoyAndHisX A Girl And Her Werewolf]]: [[spoiler:The series has a friendship flourishing between Danielle and Wulf]].
50* AintTooProudToBeg: '''''Dash''''' of all people asks Danny for advice on how to make Paulina notice him.
51* AllGirlsLikePonies: During a montage of ghost attacks in ''Laws of Attraction'', Desiree granted a girl's birthday wish for a pony. Being Desiree, however, it was a HellishHorse.
52* AllPartOfTheShow: In ''Pairing Off'', a goth who was watching Sam's poetry reading thought that the missiles Skulker fired at her was 'a bit much at the end'. He gets disillusioned real quickly though.
53* AllPowerfulBystander:
54** Clockwork, as in the cartoon. [[spoiler:After the battle with Dark Danny, Danny questions why Clockwork didn't deal with the problem himself rather than bringing in Future Danny and Sam, citing that with his powers, he could've easily stopped Dark Danny. Clockwork just cryptically comments that they wouldn't learn anything if he did all the work, hinting that Sam's transformation into a half-ghost was something he intended to happen]].
55** In "Overheated", [[spoiler:Jazz accuses "G" of being this, saying that he always shows up at certain points, only to leave, along with claiming that he could've been a big help in the battle with Burner that just occurred. That said, he did give Jazz a couple of cryptic hints as to resolve the problem with Burner.]]
56* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs:
57** In the first story of the series, [=FentonWorks=] and Tucker's bunker under City Hall are attacked. [[spoiler: In a rare instance of this trope, it was Future Danny and Sam who attacked]].

59* AlliterativeTitle: Two of them. ''Facing The Future'' and ''Bad Breakup''.
60* AlmostKiss: In their first appearance in the series, Danny and Sam are having a moment on the roof of [=FentonWorks=] and about to kiss, only for Danny's Ghost Sense to go off, much to their mutual dismay.
61* AmazonChaser: Danny finds Sam's ghost strength pretty hot. WordOfGod is that it's based on [[LikeFatherLikeSon Jack saying "Man, that's hot!" whenever Maddie goes into "Warrior" mode]].
62* AmnesiacLover: Danny and Sam end up like this when Nocturne traps them in a dream world where they have no memory of each other. [[spoiler: However, they manage to fall back in love with each other even before they regain their memories]].
63* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: PlayedForLaughs in ''Junior Hijinks'' where [[spoiler:after getting spooked by Danielle,]] Scaredy Cat drags the Groovy Gang back to their van, jumps into the driver seat and drives off to parts unknown.
64-->'''Jazz:''' Anything new happen at school today?\
65[[spoiler:'''Danielle:''']] I learned that tigers can drive cars.\
66'''Jazz:''' Huh. I don't remember that subject coming up when I was in the seventh grade.
67* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The series expands on the abilities of the Amulets of Aragon. [[spoiler: Not only were they created by Morgana Le Fay, but when one wearing one wields the Scepter of Fay, they are all powerful. Also, Dora Mattingly can use hers to release people from brainwashing, and when wielding the scepter, can give a person the power to transform into a dragon]].
68* AndThenWhat: In ''Strength In Numbers'', Danny's enemies honestly hadn't come up with a plan for what to do if (and when) they finally caught him.
69-->'''Danny''': ''(sarcastically)'' Well, isn't this an amusing little development?
70* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: Burner is revealed to be this: he was practically the adopted son of a salvage yard owner. He lost his life in a motorcycle accident, and his ghost haunts the old salvage yard. While his reaction to Townsend trying to bulldoze his home was reckless, he was basically a scared kid trying to defend his own home. Danny feels bad enough for him that he gives him a second chance to defend it again]].
71* AnvilOnHead: In "Stolen Years", after getting runned ragged keeping Little Danny and Sam in check, Maddie tells her family that she if ever starts to pine for Danny's childhood again to drop something heavy on her head. At the end of the story, after a touching moment between Danny and Maddie, [[BrickJoke Jack, Jazz,]] [[spoiler:[[BrickJoke and Danielle]]]] [[BrickJoke each hold a heavy object over her]].
72-->'''Maddie:''' Guys, that's not what I meant!
73* ApologeticAttacker: Prior to TheReveal of their identities, Future Danny and Sam constantly apologized for everything they had to do to Danny and the others to keep them out of the coming fight with Dark Danny. They even burned an apology message into the wall of the Guys In White's headquarters.
74* ArbitrarySkepticism: During her conversation with Desiree in ''What She Wants'', Jazz finds it hard to believe that in life, Desiree discovered an Ifrit, even though she's ''talking to a ghost''.
75* ArcWelding: [[spoiler: Vlad was behind Vortex and Nocturne attacking]] in ''Hearts and Minds''.
76* ArtifactOfDoom:
77** The [[spoiler: Scepter of Fay, which makes anyone who possesses an Amulet of Aragon all powerful]].
78** There's also [[spoiler: the return of the Scarab Scepter of King Duulaman]].
79* AscendedExtra:
80** [[spoiler: In the cartoon, Tucker's ghost half created by Desiree was just seen as something disposable like the rest of Desiree's creations, but here, he has become a villain in his own right]].
81** Dora Mattingly becomes a staunch ally of Team Phantom.
82* AsYouKnow: In "Ancient History", it's shown that Danny and Tucker apparently told Sam everything about the time Tucker accidentally wished for ghost powers while she had a cold.
83* ATruceWhileWeGawk: In "Strength In Numbers", the fight between Danny's enemies and the Far Frozeners pauses for a second when Danny forcibly pukes the excess food he had eaten, much to their mutual disgust.
84* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In ''Pairing Off'' [[spoiler: Technus is in the process of telling Skulker that they just can't grab anything that gets their attention for their plan when something catches his eye. He even says the last two words of the trope]].
85* {{Backstory}}:
86** The series expands on Desiree's backstory and why she decided to twist the wishes she granted.
87** The series also gives one to the remains of Freakshow's circus trope that explains their life before Freakshow took control of them and what happened to them following the events of the episode "Control Freaks".
88* BackToBackBadasses: Danny and Sam, constantly.
89* BadassBiker:
90** In the first story, [[spoiler: Future Sam]] shows to be one by creating a motorcycle [[spoiler: entirely of ''fire!'']]
91** As a CallBack [[spoiler: or a CallForward, depending on how you look at it]], Sam makes a motorcycle herself in ''Pairing Off''.
92** This trope also applies to [[spoiler: the mysterious "G"]].
93* BadassCrew: Team Phantom now consists of [[TheHero Danny]], [[ActionGirlfriend Sam]], [[MissionControl Tucker]], [[BadassFamily Jazz, Jack, Maddie]], [[RivalsTeamUp Valerie]], [[spoiler: and newly recruited [[OppositeSexClone Danielle]] and [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Wulf]]]].

95* BadassFingersnap: When Sam unleashes her flame aura, it’s sometimes accompanied by this.
96* BadBadActing: In ''Laws of Attraction'', when Paulina was trying to get Danny Phantom's attention during Walker's attack, it was clear she wasn't a very good actress.
97* {{Badly Battered Babysitter}}s: This happened to Tucker and the Fentons [[spoiler: when Danny and Sam were reverted into five year olds. According to Jazz, this happened the first time when Danny was five, ''without'' ghost powers]].
98* BaitAndSwitch: In ''Stolen Years'', it at first looked like the Fenton Ghost Guzzler was going to successfully suck up the energy of Jack's test subjects, only for it to instead suck up ''electrical'' power.
99* BalloonBelly: In ''Strength In Numbers'', after eating an enchanted buffet for two hours, Danny suffers from this. However, it's PlayedForDrama as Danny is so full of food that he can't even fight a bunch of his enemies and they capture him.
100* BananaInTheTailpipe: At one point during "Overheated", Sam stops the Burner-possessed monster by stuffing a giant ecto-potato in its tailpipe stack.
101* BatmanColdOpen: ''A Family Thing'' starts off with Danny and Sam fighting a ghost bee, [[spoiler: followed by them having an accident with the Fenton Ghost Weasel]].

109* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
110** As in the cartoon, this is Desiree's shtick [[spoiler: at least until she meets Sydney Poindexter]].
111** [[spoiler: This also applies to when Maddie started wishing for Danny's childhood again in ''Stolen Years'']].
112* BeeAfraid: In the BatmanColdOpen of "A Family Thing", Danny and Sam take on a giant ghost bee. In addition to proving to be a bit of a challenge, it was also shown to be dangerous to the environment when it sucked an entire flower bed dry of its nutrients.
113-->'''Sam:''' I'm all about bees being essential to the enviroment and all, but only when they're from, oh you know...OUR OWN PLANE OF EXISTENCE!
114* BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler: When Sam learns that her future self is half ghost, she decides to use this trope as a reason to get ghost powers of her own. [[StableTimeLoop Turns out that it was the same thing that led to Future Sam getting her powers]]]].
115* BeforeIChangeMyMind: When Sam was about to go through with her plan to get her ghost powers, Jazz arrived and gave an argument against it. However, when Jazz saw that Sam was doing this mostly to help Danny, she turned her back and said the trope name.
116* BerserkButton: Too many to name. In fact, somebody manages to push someone else's button at least once every story.
117* BerserkerTears: [[spoiler:Danny and Sam, when they nearly tore Nocturne apart for him [[RelationshipSabotage sealing away their memories of each other]].]]
118* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler: Danny's alternate ghost form is so powerful, it enables him to bust out of Vlad's [[PowerNullifier spectral energy neutralizer]]]].
119* BigBlackout: One of Jack's experiments resulted in this, much to the annoyance of Danny and the neighbors. Then later, it helped the heroes when it [[spoiler: was used to suck up all the power from the Guys In White's headquarters]].
120* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler: Danny to Danielle, even moreso than in the cartoon, especially since she is now HappilyAdopted into the Fenton family, making her an actual little sister. This was shown big time in ''Stolen Years'', where, after the Guys In White kidnapped Danielle, Danny tore through an entire group of them. Jazz finds that she likes seeing Danny going through this phase]].
121* BigDamnHeroes: Sam [[spoiler: and Danielle]] led the denizens of the Far Frozen against the ghosts who captured Danny in ''Strength In Numbers''.
122* BigDamnKiss: Occurred in ''Hearts and Minds'' with Danny and Sam [[spoiler:after they declared their love for each other]].

124** In ''Trial By Fire'', Sam yelled out this [[spoiler: after regaining the memories of what she had done when being controlled by Undergrowth in "[[Recap/DannyPhantomS3E6UrbanJungle Urban Jungle]]"]], along with which she unleashed a WorldWreckingWave of flame.
125** In ''Hearts and Minds'', Nocturne yelled one [[spoiler: when Danny and Sam were about to regain their memories of each other]].
126** In "Two For One", [[spoiler:during the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, Danny's ghost half yelled out a truly heart-rending one while trapped in the form of Dark Danny as Dark Danny destroys a mirror representing Sam]].
127* BigShutUp: In ''Bad Break-up'', Danny and Sam yell this at Technus, cutting off his EvilGloating.
128* BigWhat:
129** Sam yelled one of these in ''Trial By Fire'' when the others told her she had a 320 degree temperature, to which it doubled, to which she yelled again, to which it doubled again.
130--->'''Danny''': Okay, Sam? Maybe now would be good time to ease off on the exclamations, okay?
131** In ''A Family Thing'', Jack yelled this when [[spoiler:he learned about how Vlad attempted to clone Danny]].
132** In "Laws of Attraction", Danny and Sam yelled this upon learning that their fellow students considered them the hottest couple in Casper High.
133* BondVillainStupidity: Technus thought that he was being clever to distract Danny, Sam, and Tucker while [[spoiler: he took control of the cybertron satellite again]], but failed to keep an eye on his uplink which Valerie [[spoiler: and Skulker]] sabotaged. As Tucker pointed out "[[IronicEcho If you wish to multi-task, you must learn how to split your focus]]".
134* BookcasePassage: The ghost-fighting bunker that Tucker had set up under City Hall is accessed through an elevator behind a bookcase in his office.
135* BoringButPractical: [[spoiler: Sidney Poindexter's]] solution to Desiree's handicap of having to grant all wishes, even those of her opponents? Noise-cancelling headphones.
136* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Sam underwent concentration training with Dora Mattingly to get her fire powers under control which had the added side effect of enhancing her ecto-construct power.
137* [[BreatherEpisode Breather Fic]]: ''Strength In Numbers'', ''Pairing Off'', and ''What She Wants''.
138* BrickJoke:
139** In ''What She Wants'', Tucker mentions a phone app that has a profile on every ghost they know to Valerie. Later in the story, Jazz reveals she has it.
140** In “Bad Breakup”, the Box Ghost dresses up as Danny in an attempt to break him and Sam up. He’s still wearing it at the end.
141** When Dora is discussing whether to try adapting electricity or indoor plumbing next with one of her handmaidens at the beginning of "Royal Occupation", the handmaiden asks if ghosts really NEED plumbing, causing Dora to choose electricity. [[spoiler: At the end, Aragon is imprisoned in the dungeon and [[ProducePelting being hit with eggs]] through a window, and demands water from the guards to clean off with. Said guards say they can't wait for indoor plumbing]].
142* BringIt: In ''Hearts and Minds'' Danny and Sam, who don't remember each other, think the other is an enemy and get into a fight, during which, Danny uses the gesture to lure Sam into a trap.
143* BrokenPedestal: Jack’s opinion of the GIW falls fast in ''Stolen Years'' after they attack his family.
144* BroughtDownToBadass: In ''Ancient History'', this basically applies to [[spoiler:Ghost Tucker, who was far superior to Danny when he initially manifested but has considerable trouble when he returns. Danny speculates that this is because the wish that created Ghost Tucker specified that he be "[[ExactWords the most powerful ghost boy]]", which only applied when Tucker was half-ghost and now Ghost Tucker is a pure ghost and separate entity. However, Ghost Tucker's knowledge of Tucker is still dangerous, and he has enough power to be a threat in his own right]].
145* BrownNote: Jack invented the Fenton Specter Shrieker as a device that emits a painful sound only ghosts could hear. [[ReversePolarity He got it backwards and ghosts were the only ones who]] ''[[ReversePolarity couldn't]]'' [[ReversePolarity hear it]].
146* BrutishBulls: In the opening of ''Trial By Fire'', Danny and Sam deal with a ghost bull that's rampaging through the city, with Sam lampshading they were about due for one. It combines with OurMinotaursAreDifferent when it stands on two legs and transforms its front legs into arms.
147-->'''Sam:''' ''(To Danny)'' You know, I guess we really SHOULD have seen that one coming.
148* BullyHunter: [[spoiler: Danielle]], briefly after getting mad at the bullies at the junior high. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it backfires on her when the school calls in the best known ghost hunters]].
149* ButtMonkey: The Box Ghost, as much in the cartoon. One time, he tried to sneak up on Paulina, only for her to accidentally, without even noticing, kick a trash can at him and knock the wind out of him. Ouch.
150[[/folder]]
151
152[[folder:C-D]]
153* CallBack:
154** In the cartoon, Danny once said he was a whiz at dodge ball. [[spoiler: Being his clone, Danielle apparently is too. Though WordOfGod is that unlike Danny's skills which are instinctive, she honed her skills through her ghost battles.]]
155** The series also remembers that Valerie's new armor was created by Technus, which unfortunately enabled him to deactivate it to her confusion while he mockingly pointed out where she thought it came from.
156** Danny also made one to the time Spectra infected everyone with ghost mosquitoes when he and Sam fought a giant ghost bee.
157** In ''Pairing Off'', when Tucker and Technus square off, Technus mentions the last time they fought in "Teacher of the Year", and the numerous defeats Tucker received.

163* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: [[spoiler: In ''Junior Hijinks'', Danielle learned the lesson Danny did about using her powers to get back at people she didn't like when she ends up dealing with the Masters' Blasters, followed by her having to deal with her parents]].
164* CassandraTruth: After his encounter with Sam at the end of the first story, Box Ghost told the other ghosts that she now had ghost powers, but they didn't believe him...[[DumbassHasAPoint at least until they saw it for themselves]].
165* CatScare: In ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler: when Tucker is jittery about Hotep-Ra and his ghost half being on the loose, he ends up getting startled when Tanya taps him on the shoulder to let him know his meeting is about to start]].
166* CatapultNightmare: In "A Family Thing", Sam wakes up this way when [[spoiler:she senses Danny being captured by Vlad]].
167* CatchphraseInterruptus: When Danny and Sam were about to transform to deal with what they thought was a killer robot, they yelled out "We're going..." only to stop and yell "Tucker?!" when they realized who was controlling the robot.
168* CatchphraseSpoutingDuo: Ever since Sam became his partner, Danny has shared his 'Going Ghost!' line with her.
169* TheCavalry: In ''Laws of Attraction'', the Fentons, Tucker, Valerie, Wulf, and [[spoiler: Elastica]] pull this when Danny and Sam are up against Walker and his forces.
170* TheCavalryArrivesLate: At the end of ''Facing The Future'', the Fentons arrive on the scene after the battle with Dark Danny is done. Justified that Jack went the wrong way down a one way street.
171* CerebusRetcon: In ''Two For One'', [[spoiler: a number of canon NewPowersAsThePlotDemands moments for Danny are revealed to be because of his ghost half, who is tired of being treated like a burden]].
172* CharacterDevelopment: In addition to not derailing the development the characters have gone through in the cartoon, the series adds more to it, as well as providing some to new members of the main cast like [[spoiler: Danielle]] as well as secondary characters like [[spoiler: Desiree and Sidney Poindexter]].
173* CharacterMagneticTeam: Team Phantom has grown significantly in this series, with the addition of Jack, Maddie, Valerie [[spoiler: and Danielle and Wulf]].
174* ChekhovsBoomerang: Nocturne's dream helmets from the cartoon end up playing a role in several instances throughout the series, from Tucker using one to get into the dream world Danny and Sam are trapped in [[spoiler:to Vlad using the technology to create a MindControlDevice]].
175* ChekhovsGun:
176** The Fenton [[spoiler: Spectral Shrieker and Ghost Guzzler]] at first seemed like faulty experiments, [[spoiler: but then they helped Danny and the others storm the Guys In White's headquarters]].
177** Also, the pair of gloves that shocked Danny towards the beginning of the first story of the series played a big role in its climax.
178** The ectoranium that Jack and Maddie were experimenting with in ''Royal Occupation'' came in handy to help defeat Aragon at the climax.
179* ChestInsignia: Inverted. When Sam finally gets her own logo, it's on the back of her coat. Danny and Tucker point out the impracticalness of it being there, but Sam doesn't care.
180* ChronicHeroSyndrome: In "Laws of Attraction", when Sam and Paulina are captured by Walker and imprisoned, after Sam escapes her cell, she tries to come up with a valid reason [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked to not help Paulina]], but is unable to find one:
181-->'''Sam:''' ''(Groaning as she floats to Paulina's cell)'' Aww, darn it. Sometimes, I REALLY wish I wasn't a better person.
182* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler: It's revealed that the rest of the Fentons feel this way about Danielle as much as Danny. So much so that she's adopted into the family]].
183* CloseRangeCombatant: Sam to a degree, as she lacks Danny’s ability to fire off Ghost Ray blasts, instead forming weapons from the energy. Frostbite even lampshades it when training her, saying that he'll have to improve Sam's speed to compensate. Her PlayingWithFire powers improve her range though.
184* CombinationAttack: Danny and Sam have a tendency to combine their powers to deliver more damage to their opponents.
185* ComesGreatResponsibility: [[spoiler: Danielle learns Danny's lesson about using ghost powers to get back at bullies in a tougher manner than he did, (especially because she has to face her parents for it). Danny even lampshades that she should've come to him on the matter]].
186* ComfortFood: In order to get over Sam being out of town, Danny ate at a buffet. Unfortunately, Desiree put a spell on the food that made him keep eating until his stomach was bursting.
187* TheCommissionerGordon: Tucker plays this role to Team Phantom as the mayor of Amity Park, uses his political power to sweep some of Team Phantom's activities under the rug, as well as protect their reputation.
188* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In the first story, we get this exchange when Jack wanted to use Danny to test his newest weapon:
189-->'''Jazz''': ''(To Jack)'' You know, I really have to protest you using your own son as a guinea pig now that you know he's half-ghost. After all, he ''is'' family.\
190'''Jack''': Of course he's family, and what better way to ensure a little father/son bonding time?
191* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: In ''Laws of Attraction'', [[spoiler: Paulina allowed herself to be captured by Walker's forces so that she could be rescued by Danny Phantom and hopefully, start a relationship with him. Naturally, she wasn't happy when Sam Tasma was the one to come; Sam is beyond annoyed with her]].
192* CommutingOnABus: For her first couple of appearances in the series, [[spoiler:Danielle]] would appear to help before disappearing again to who know's where, [[spoiler:until finally in "A Family Thing", where she is officially adopted into the Fenton family, making her a series regular]].
193* ConflictingLoyalty: Danny went through a moment of this in ''Trial By Fire'' when it came to finding and helping a 'scared out of her mind' Sam who couldn't control her new [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]] or protecting the city from Undergrowth. Fortunately, the rest of Team Phantom encouraged him to go after Sam while they held down the fort.
194* ConquerorFromTheFuture: Not so much a conqueror, but it was clear that Dark Danny intended to recreate the devastated world he came from in the present [[spoiler: if not for the intervention of Future Danny and Sam]].
195* ContinuationFic: The series follows after "Phantom Planet", and is considered one of the most popular fan continuations.
196* ContinuityCavalcade: ''Hearts and Minds'' is full of these as [[spoiler: amnesiac Danny and Sam had memory flashes dealing with their relationship every time they came into contact]].
197* ContinuityNod: One of the things that makes the series good is that it follows continuity as much as the cartoon, mentioning things from the television show as well as events that take place within itself.
198* CoolButImpractical: Sam's logo on the back of her coat, as lampshaded by Danny and Tucker.
199* CoveredInGunge:
200** During a fight with a ghost bee in ''A Family Thing'', Danny and Sam get covered in ecto honey. [[spoiler: Jack's attempt to clean them up puts them in a very tight spot]].
201** In the same story, Jack constantly shot someone with the Fenton Foamer by accident.
202* CrashIntoHello: In "Hearts and Minds", an amnesiac Danny and Sam crash into each other, causing Sam's books to go flying. The two are surprised at how entranced they are at someone they'd never seen before.
203* CrazyPrepared: Tucker brought hacking equipment and tools on the mission to [[spoiler: rescue Dani from the Guys in White on the off chance he got to use it on one of their main database hookups. He got to, deleting all files on Danny, Dani, and Sam]].
204* CryingWolf: In "Royal Occupation", it's hinted that Aragon's old kingdom has made so many claims of seeing him that Danny and Sam went to look for him mostly to humor Dora.
205* CurbStompBattle: Whereas Vlad Plasmius used to deliver these in the cartoon, he's now on the receiving end from a number of characters that are too many to count.
206* CurseCutShort: Being very edgy for a fanfic based off a show on Nickelodeon, [[spoiler: Future Danny]] started to say to [[spoiler: Dark Danny "You son of a...",]] only for [[spoiler: Dark Danny]] to stop him short [[spoiler: and remind him who that insult would be directed at]].
207* CurseEscapeClause:
208** [[spoiler: Knowing Aragon's penchant for everything Dark Age, Tucker believed that his frog curse could be broken by a kiss from a maiden. Turns out, he was right when he wound up accidentally kissing Jazz]].
209** Desiree's wish-granting-compulsion was given to her by a genie during her life and can only be cured by meeting her one true love, and from then on she only has to grant his wishes. [[spoiler: It's Sidney Poindexter.]]
210* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: When Tucker makes a slip about his AccidentalKiss with Sam from "Life Lessons", she threatens to kick him so hard it would leave a permanent mark on his rear end if he said anything else about it.
211* DangerousDeviceDisposalDebacle: In ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler:when Hotep-Ra steals back the Scarab Scepter of King Duulaman, he points out that it was a big mistake for Danny to just return it to the museum at the end of "King Tuck". After Hotep-Ra and Ghost Tucker are defeated, Tucker advises Danny and Sam to find a safer place for the scepter. They end up placing it in Tucker's underground bunker]].
212* DangerouslyCloseShave: Technus tried to inflict this on Danny with a bunch of piranha-like razors. Fortunately, Danny managed to dodge the attack and send it right back at Technus.
213* DareToBeBadass: Danny gave one of these to Dash, of all people, if he wanted to impress Paulina.
214* DeepSleep: This was Nocturne's ultimate plan [[spoiler:for Danny and Sam in ''Hearts and Minds'']].
215* DefensiveWhat: Jack said this when Danny looked at him [[spoiler: after coming up with the idea to use his inventions to save Danielle from the Guys in White]].
216* DeskSweepOfRage: During the story ''Trial by Fire'', Danny is conflicted whether to go help Sam or stay and protect Amity Park from Undergrowth:
217--> Lost in a panic of anger and confusion Danny lashed out at a nearby workstation, sweeping away a keyboard, a mouse, and a cup before falling to his knees, holding his head in his hands.
218* DespairEventHorizon: Sam was on the verge of one when her new fire powers were growing out of control and causing her to destroy everything she touched. Fortunately, Danny managed to pull her back with a touching speech.
219* DidntSeeThatComing: Because Skulker and Technus only became [=SkulkTech=] in Dark Danny's timeline, Danny, Sam, and Tucker didn't expect them to join forces in the current timeline. Valerie still lampshades that it was something they should've anticipated.
220* DidntThinkThisThrough:
221** Even Vlad admits that his first attempts to regain his glory looked better on paper and were rather ham fisted when he didn't take into account the {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s he endured.
222** Desiree’s plan to kidnap Danny in "Strength in Numbers", as lampshaded a few times. Not only did her spell require him to start eating, not taking into account his depression due to Sam being away (though [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Tucker managed to get him to eat, putting the plan back on track]]), she never considered what she’d DO with him when she captured him.
223** In "Bad Breakup", Danny and Sam faked a breakup in order to get Danny's enemies to back off on their attempts to separate them. Unfortunately, Danny and Sam soon realized it wasn't such a hot idea for several factors. First, the ghosts constantly scrutinized them to see if they weren't faking, thus forcing them to put on the act for quite a while and having to remain apart. They then realized they never came up with a way out of the plan afterwards. And finally, they didn't consider how their friends, who weren't aware of the plan, would react to believing Danny's enemies broke them up, as seen when Tucker, Valerie[[spoiler:, and Danielle]] go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge in the Ghost Zone.
224** In "What She Wants", Danny accuses [[spoiler:Sydney]] of this with regards to his plan to [[spoiler:have Desiree use her powers to make the A-listers fall in love with various nerds for Valentine's Day]]. As Danny points out, [[spoiler:he never considered the heartache said nerds might feel the following day when the spell wears off]].
225** In "Overheated", Townsend wanted to bulldoze Amity Park Salvage as payback for the now deceased owner refusing to sell out to him, causing a real estate project of his to fall through, using Burner's presence as an excuse. But he was so eager to get payback that he neglected to check and see if the man had any living relatives, which bites him in the butt when his granddaughter shows up, as he had left it to her in his will, making Townsend guilty of trespassing and destruction of private property.
226* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Subverted by Danny. Whenever he makes comments about other girls that makes Sam jealous, he follows up a nice recovery.
227* DoubleMeaningTitle:
228** The title of the first story of the series, ''Facing The Future'', has a multiple of meanings: [[spoiler: it could refer to the return of Dark Danny, the appearance of Future Danny and Sam, or Sam's evolution into Danny's new partner]].
229** [[spoiler: ''Ancient History'' also fits this trope, referring to either Amity Park being transformed into an ancient kingdom, or Tucker facing the return of Hotep-Ra and his former ghost half]].
230** "Overheated" has a number of meanings [[spoiler:as it can refer to Burner's mechanic theme, along with his impulse control problem, as well as Danny learning how to manage the use of his newly controlled True Ghost Form]].
231* DoubleStandard: In ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler:upon learning that Sam had ghost powers, Ghost Tucker accused Danny as being this, citing that he got kicked to the curb while she was given a spot on the team no questions asked. Danny retorts that there was nothing 'no questions asked' about Sam's situation and that Ghost Tucker wasn't interested in being a team player]].
232* DreamWalker: In "Hearts and Minds", with Danny and Sam trapped in a dream world by Nocturne, Tucker uses one of his dream helmets to enter it [[spoiler:and uses a couple of computer avatars in order to fight him]].
233* DreamWeaver: Nocturne's dream powers are expanded on in the series. Not only can he sense inner feelings and have his Sleepwalkers take on any form he chose, but he was able to [[spoiler:use Danny and Sam's insecurities to seal away their memories of each other]].
234* DrivesLikeCrazy: Jack, as much as in the cartoon. Not only did he go the wrong way on a one way street, but he went off road right before there was a turn off.
235[[/folder]]
236
237[[folder:E-G]]
238* EasyComeEasyGo: After an April Fool's joke ended up embarrassing him, Poindexter ended up as a ButtMonkey again at his ghost school. [[spoiler: Fortunately, it gets better for him when he becomes the school's ''principal'']].
239* EdibleAmmunition: A literal case as Jack's new Ecto-Bondo weapon firsts grenades that are lime flavored, which allowed him to eat it like gelatin, resulting in a stomach ache at the same time.
240* EleventhHourSuperpower: Danny first activates his SuperMode when Dark Danny was about to kill Sam. Since then, it's triggered by just as dire situations.
241* EmbarrassingFirstName: As in the cartoon, Sam hates it when people call her by her full name of Samantha.
242* TheEmpath: Being the Ghost of Sleep, Nocturne can do this. He was easily able to sense Danny and Sam's true feelings for each other before they even became boyfriend and girlfriend.
243* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Sam, who at first only fought ghosts using Fenton weapons, now has powers like Danny, making her just as dangerous to ghosts as him.
244* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: In ''Pairing Off'', Ember temporarily worked with Danny and Sam in order to save her boyfriend Skulker]].
245* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler: Ghost Tucker, the ghost half Danny separated from Tucker at the end of "What You Want", making this him for Tucker]].
246* EnergyAbsorption:
247** In the first story of the series, Vlad modified a pair of gloves that were designed to [[HarmfulToTouch hurt ghosts that touched them]] to absorb energy from them. Fortunately, Danny and Sam destroy them before the first story ended.
248** This was also the attempt of one of Jack's inventions. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it ended up absorbing electrical energy instead]].
249* EnergyWeapon: The ecto energy that Sam generates doesn't fire like traditional ghost rays, but instead comes out as strands of ecto energy. Fortunately, in addition to being able to mold it into different constructs, Sam discovers that they also make great whips.
250* EngineeredHeroics: According to the series' point of view, the Masters' Blasters capture of Aragon in "Phantom Planet" was part of a deal with Vlad in exchange for the return of his amulet.
251* EpicFail:
252** In ''Facing The Future'', according to the Guys in White, the time they bought out [=FentonWorks=] was so unhelpful that it ended up setting their Ghost Portal development ''back''.
253** In the same story, Jack attempted to blast [[spoiler: Future Danny]] with his new Ecto-Bondo weapon. It ends up wrecking the lab and trapping him, Maddie, and Jazz.
254** In ''Stolen Years'', Jack attempted to [[spoiler: build a device that emitted a sound that only ghosts could hear, but got it backwards and made it a sound that humans could hear but ghosts (and half-ghosts) couldn't, and then failed to turn it off for ''hours''. Then, he built a device to suck the power out of ghosts, but it ended up sucking ''electrical'' power]]. Inverted later in the same story when [[spoiler: the failed inventions helped Team Phantom's mission to save Danielle from the Guys In White]].
255* EurekaMoment:
256** In ''Hearts and Minds'', Tucker has one when Jazz tells Tucker that the dream world Nocturne trapped Danny and Sam isn't a video game, [[spoiler:which results in him creating a program that lets him uses dream avatars to help fight Nocturne]].
257** A villainous version appeared in ''Two For One'', when [[spoiler: a comment from a Maddie hologram gives Vlad the idea that the key to unleashing Danny's True Ghost Form is to get him away from his friends]].
258** In "Overheated", [[spoiler:while musing that Frank Hudson, the man who took Burner in, looks like a kindly grandfather, Jazz remembers that "G" told her that he had a daughter that was married, leading her to look for Frank's granddaughter Jessi, who would no doubt have inherited Frank's salvage yard, thus preventing Burner's home from being torn down peacefully]].
259* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The [=GIW=]'s MadDoctor is codenamed 'Doctor'. [[spoiler: Danielle isn't impressed]].
260* EveryoneHasStandards: In ''Overheated'', Kwan is disgusted that Dash and Dale's [[SarcasmMode brilliant plan]] is to vandalize a deceased man's warehouse and [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere angrily storms off]].
261* EvilCannotComprehendGood: During the climax of ''A Family Thing'', Maddie gives [[spoiler: Vlad]] an epic speech on how he doesn't love, just ''wants''. However, [[spoiler: Vlad]] is willing to live with it that way.
262* EvilIsNotAToy:
263** Clockwork [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] Vlad's tendency to mess with power beyond his comprehension in his desire to rule in his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. In fact Clockwork says this when Vlad tries to ''steal'' his control of time. It's subverted here since Clockwork [[CurbstompBattle hands him his ass]] before he can do any damage.
264** Vlad then proves he did ''not'' learn his lesson by [[spoiler: modifying a Fenton device in order to steal Dan's, Future Danny and Future Sam's power. Not only does the rewiring effort cause him to get zapped several times, in the end all he does is end up healing Dan of all the damage the heroes did to him!]]
265** [[spoiler: He later proves he still hasn’t learned by trying to control Danny in his SuperMode. It ends predictably, especially since his actions lead to Danny gaining control of himself in that state rather than just becoming a wild agent of destruction]].
266* EvilMeScaresMe: According to Danny, whenever he has a bad night, Dan Phantom haunts his dreams, so his return didn't help much.
267* EvilVersusEvil: Dan Phantom vs Vlad Plasmius, a match-up that every [=DP=] fan dreams of, occurred in the first story of the series. [[spoiler: Naturally, Dan wins]].
268* ExactEavesdropping: Invoked by Danny and Sam by faking a break up so that the ghosts trying to break them up would leave them alone. While Technus thinks it's convenient, Spectra doesn't buy it at first.
269* ExactWords: In "Pairing Off", after their second run in with Danny and Sam, Technus assures Skulker that everything is going to plan. [[spoiler: When he betrays Skulker at the climax, he explains he didn't say they were ''Skulker's'' plans]].
270* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: In ''Pairing Off'', Danny and Sam have a pleasant conversation while in the middle of battles with Technus and Skulker respectively.
271* ExplainExplainOhCrap:
272** In the first story of the series, while contemplating the mystery of the two strange ghosts, Valerie realizes that if the pair is knocking off every major ghost-hunting organization in Amity Park, then it was possible that their next target could be...
273-->'''Danny:''' THE FENTON WORKS!!!
274** In ''Bad Breakup'', Danny and Sam were trying to figure out what the ghosts were up to when this line from Tucker came up:
275-->"Man, it's like they were trying to break you guys up or something".
276* ExplosiveOverclocking: Danny's SuperMode seems to be this. While it does boost his powers greatly, it also has a risk of burning his body out.
277* EyeRecall: In "Hearts and Minds", whenever an amnesiac Danny and Sam came into contact with each other, their eyes would widen as memories of them being together would flash through their minds.
278* FacePalm: This was Danny's reaction to Tucker reusing his Student Council campaign [[spoiler:in his run for mayor]]. There is even [[https://tuxedaaron.deviantart.com/art/Campaign-Kickoff-302521944 an actual drawing]] of it.
279* FakeOutMakeOut: Inverted. Danny and Sam used this to escape the Guys In White, but as Sam put it, there was nothing "fake" about it.
280* FireIceDuo: Following Sam manifesting fire powers in contrast to Danny's ice abilities, the pair have become this and have a tendency to use their elements in conjuction.
281* FirstEpisodeTwist / LateArrivalSpoiler: If you start reading the series at any point past the first story, you'll have to go back to the beginning for it to make sense.
282* FiveSecondForeshadowing: In ''A Family Thing'', [[spoiler: just before it's revealed that the Fentons have walked into a trap, Jack accidentally shoots Bradley Milton in the face with the Fenton Foamer, to which he rants and raves and calls Jack a bumbling fool before regaining his composure, claiming it was from lack of rest. It then turns out that he had been overshadowed by Vlad]].
283* FlamingHair: The trope is lampshaded by Valerie in "Overheated", due to how common it seems to be.
284* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Invoked by Tucker in ''Royal Occupation'' when he said he wished Danny and Sam had done this instead of [[spoiler: Sam dressing as Danny and [[ScrewYourself making out with him]]]]. WordOfGod is that the author avoided this because he'd seen YourCostumeNeedsWork too often.
285* ForcedToWatch: In "Two For One", [[spoiler:Danny uses YourMindMakesItReal in his mindscape to show his ghost half that without him, he'd be Dark Danny, with Ghost Danny trapped helplessly inside Dark Danny and is made to watch from his perspective as Dark Danny destroys mirrors representing Tucker and Valerie, the Fentons, and even Sam]].
286* {{Foreshadowing}}:
287** In ''Pairing Off'', during a battle between Danny and Technus, Technus says everyone could benefit from an upgrade. [[spoiler: That is precisely what happens to Skulker after Technus upgrades his suit]]. According to the author, it was a happy accident.
288** Another moment in the same story occurs when Paulina feels jealous that Sam has a boyfriend while she's dateless. [[spoiler: This culminates in ''Laws of Attraction'' where, after Danny and Sam are inadvertently named Casper High's hottest couple, she attempts to make Danny Phantom her boyfriend to overshadow them]].
289** Another instant that's appearing throughout the series is ghosts noticing something special about Danny and Sam [[spoiler: which seems to have something to do with their new link]].
290* FollowTheChaos: When a geyser of ecto energy erupts from Danny's SuperMode, [[spoiler: Future Danny realizes what is happening and frantically orders Tucker and Valerie to go after him]].
291* ForcedTransformation: In ''Royal Occupation'' [[spoiler: while everyone else (except for Danny and Sam) were brainwashed into Aragon's subjects, poor Tucker was transformed into a [[BewitchedAmphibians frog]]]].
292* ForgotAboutHisPowers: After making herself and Danny intangible to avoid a barrage of ghost rays, Sam finally [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] on Danny always allowing things to hit him.
293* FountainOfYouth: In ''Stolen Years'', [[spoiler: a run-in with the Guys In White and an experimental weapon causes Danny and Sam to change into five year olds physically and mentally]]. WordOfGod is that it's a ShoutOut to ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "Rascals".
294* FreakLabAccident: [[TropesAreTools Invoked]] by Sam who ''deliberately'' recreated Danny's accident with the Ghost Portal in order to give herself ghost powers.
295* FriendlyTickleTorture: Danny has a tendency to inflict this on Sam when they're having a romantic moment. The students at Casper High were very surprised to hear that Sam was ticklish.
296* FreeingTheGenie: In ''What She Wants'', [[spoiler: Desiree is freed from her curse that makes her grant every wish she hears, thanks to Poindexter passing her SecretTestOfCharacter]].
297* FunWithHomophones: In "A Family Thing", during a fight with a ghost bee, Sam calls out "Honey!". Danny initially thinks she's calling him a term of endearment, but it turns out she was actually warning him about the oncoming projectile the bee was firing at them.
298* FutureBadass: [[spoiler: Future Danny and Sam are so badass, they can hold their own against Dan]].
299* GameChanger: The whole series is one as it takes place following the GrandFinale of the cartoon. Each story is filled with new surprises with no sign of letting up.
300* GenderedOutfit: Sam's ghost costume is actually one of the jumpsuits that Danny wore when he got his powers except with the neckline and boots replaced with a choker and army boots, most of the gloves cut away except the middle finger, the entire midriff cut away, and topped off with a coat with laced sleeves. Justified that Sam used one of Danny's suits because they're the same size, though at the same time, Sam gets sort of a guilty thrill about wearing something of her boyfriend's.
301* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan:
302** Invoked by Sam at the end of "Strength in Numbers" when she gives Danny a keychain containing a picture of her angrily shaking her fist to help him keep his head if he ever starts to lose it.
303** In "Trial By Fire", when Sam was on the verge of a breakdown due to her out of control fire powers, Danny did this to snap her out of it.
304* GetOut: Danny and Sam yell this to Nocturne [[spoiler:when they force him out of their subconscious]].
305* GirlPosse: Victoria, the rich snob at Elm Street Middle School has one consisting of two girls that [[spoiler: Danielle]] simply refers to as Friend One and Friend Two.
306* GiveGeeksAChance: [[spoiler: In one of the biggest shocks of the series, Desiree ending up together with Sidney Poindexter. Tucker even lampshades the trope and wonders why it can't happen to him]].
307* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Much like Danny, Sam's eyes turn green when she transforms. When she uses her fire powers, they take on an orange glow.
308* GluttonyMontage: Danny goes through one that lasts ''two hours'' in ''Strength In Numbers''. Justified that he couldn't control himself as Desiree had cast a spell on the food that made him eat. According to Sam, this is the ''second'' time he's done this.
309* GodzillaThreshold:
310** Dark Danny's return counts as this. Since he and Danny are no longer connected, nothing would keep Dark Danny from holding back against Danny, meaning he couldn't win again, so not only did [[spoiler: Clockwork bring in Danny and Sam's future selves]], but Sam decided to get herself ghost powers to help him out.
311** It's hinted that it's these situations that trigger Danny's feral SuperMode.
312** [[spoiler:After getting control of his True Ghost Form, Danny is advised to only use it for two and a half minutes and once every twenty-four hours, making it for dire situations only. Sam makes him stick to that, even setting up his watch to beep at the appropriate times]].
313* GoingInCircles: When Jack and Maddie went out to help Danny and Sam fight Vortex, they felt like they were going in circles despite Jack having the pedal to the metal. The reason for this was because the Fenton RV had been swept up in one of Vortex's tornadoes.
314-->'''Jack''': We must've passed that same house three times now!
315* GreenEyedMonster [[spoiler: Ghost Tucker]] who is enraged by Sam getting ghost powers.
316* GuineaPigFamily: While Jack won't tear Danny apart molecule by molecule now that he knows his secret, he doesn't mind having Danny ''assist'' him in testing out new ghost weapons, much to Maddie and Jazz's objection. At the beginning of ''Two For One'', [[spoiler:Jack and Maddie conduct several tests on Danny to help him learn the limits of his True Ghost Form]].
317[[/folder]]
318
319[[folder:H-L]]
320* HalfHumanHybrid: In addition to the initial ghost-hybrids: Danny, Vlad, and [[spoiler: Danielle]], there's the fact that Sam is now added to the list. [[spoiler:It's also hinted that the mysterious ghost "G" is half-human too]].
321* [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween Fic]]: ''Royal Occupation''.
322* {{Hammerspace}}: Mike Harris's trenchcoat can apparently hide a headphones and fold out listening dish.
323* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: Towards the end of ''A Family Thing'', the series takes one of its biggest developments when the Fentons adopt Danielle after learning about her existence]].
324* HarmfulToTouch:
325** In the first story, Jack and Maddie had developed a pair of gloves capable of shocking a ghost with its own ecto energy. Vlad later modified them for his own use.
326** We also have ectoranium, which is as harmful as ever for ghosts to touch. [[spoiler:It came in handy during the final battle with Aragon in ''Royal Occupation'']].
327* HartmanHips:
328** Based on [[spoiler: the description of Future Sam, it seems Sam is going to go through some developments as she gets older]].
329** This also applies to Tanya, Tucker's secretary.
330* HeadbuttOfLove: Danny and Sam tend to do this often.
331* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Desiree, courtesy of Poindexter]].
332* HelpImStuck: Danny and Sam experience this when [[spoiler: Jack accidentally sucks them into the Fenton Ghost Weasel]].
333* HelpYourselfInTheFuture: [[spoiler: Future Danny and Sam are brought in by Clockwork to help stop Dark Danny when he escapes since Danny would be unable to do it a second time]].
334* HerBoyfriendsJacket:
335** Danny and Sam take this trope in a unique way when Sam uses one of Danny’s jumpsuits when she became half ghost. While it mostly because Danny’s jumpsuit was the best thing that could fit her, she did find the idea of wearing something of Danny’s thrilling.
336** She does it again in ''Royal Occupations'' when she [[spoiler: does a CallBack to "Girls Night Out" and "Forever Phantom" where she disguised herself as Danny by dressing as him for Halloween. Her reason being was to freak out people by kissing Danny while dressed as him]].
337* HereWeGoAgain: Sam compared the school newspaper considering her and Danny the hottest couple in the school to the time when everybody was interested in her ghost form.
338* HeroicWillPower: Done twice in ''Trial By Fire''. First was when [[spoiler: Undergrowth]] attempted to seize control of [[spoiler: Sam again, she accidentally released [[WorldWreckingWave a gigantic surge of fire]]]], then when he tried again [[spoiler: she gained full control of her flame powers and broke free]].
339* HeyYouHaymaker: While fighting a giant ghost bee, Sam tapped on its thorax with a ghost construct hand before flicking it away after it turned around.
340* HiddenDepths:
341** Surprisingly, [[spoiler: Jack is able to speak Esperanto, much to Jazz's shock. He comments that he has a whole secret life that Jazz knows nothing about]].
342** Believe it or not, Tucker's secretary Tanya is more than just eye candy. She knows her way around politics. [[spoiler: So much so that Tucker promoted her to be his campaign manager]].
343* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
344** In ''Junior Hijinks'', snobby Victoria and her posse fall victim to their own pranks [[spoiler: thanks to Danielle]].
345** In "Overheated", Townsend tries to destroy Amity Park Salvage, both as a political move due to its apparently haunted nature and as petty revenge because the owner ruined a real estate deal of his by refusing to sell. But because he didn't check to see if the owner had any next of kin after he died, he ends up with egg on his face.
346* HourOfPower: In "Overheated", [[spoiler:after consulting with his parents, Danny learns he can only use his "True Ghost Form" for two and a half minutes, and only then, he could use it once a day, having to wait a full twenty-four hours afterward before he can use it again]].
347* HowDidYouKnowIDidnt: In the first story of the series when Danny and Sam were fighting Vlad, they defeated him when Danny combined his powers with Sam's. When she asked how he knew that'd happen, he said he figured they were compatible.
348* HowDoIShootWeb:
349** When Sam initially got her ghost powers, she thought that it would be a snap [[PossessionEqualsMastery considering she'd seen Danny do it hundreds of times]], only to find out that she had the same trouble controlling them that he did at first. This carried over when she got her [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]].
350** After his armor is upgraded into the [=SkulkTech=] version, Skulker is still getting familiar with the new weapons it has.
351* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: During the battle with Dark Danny, everyone was surprised that Danny's recently unlocked SuperMode wasn't enough to keep him down, with Valerie lampshading.
352* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Said word-for-word by Vlad to [[spoiler: Aragon]] in ''Royal Occupation'', though it's kind of the [[HypocriticalHumor pot calling the kettle black]] when you think about it.
353* HowWeGotHere: In ''A Family Thing'', after Vlad succeeds in capturing the Fentons, [[EvilGloating he explains]] how he got back to Earth following the events of "Phantom Planet".
354* HumongousMecha: In order to attend school while at the same time, carry out his new mayoral duties, Tucker built a seven foot tall robot with [[TVHeadRobot a video screen in its chest]]. [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid It's also been outfitted with weapons to help fight ghosts]].
355* HyperDestructiveBouncingBall: Jack creates a bazooka called Ecto-Bondo that fires one of these. However, it's one of those cases of GoneHorriblyRight with a touch of EpicFail.
356* HyperactiveMetabolism: [[spoiler:After using his True Ghost Form, Danny is so warn out that he has to drink one or two bottles of water in order to get back up to strength. Sam muses that at least he's staying hydrated]].
357* {{Hypocrite}}:
358** Sam calls [[spoiler: Undergrowth]] out on this, saying he's just as greedy as he says mankind is, always taking, not caring for anything other than himself.
359** Later Danny points out Walker's ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem policy, and calls him the biggest hypocrite he's EVER met.
360** When Skulker is complaining about Technus's plan to [[spoiler: hunt down Danny and Sam once he's gained control of the Cybertron processor]], the latter points that he was perfectly willing to accept his help ''earlier'', and that he of all people should know that a ''true'' hunter is a CombatPragmatist.
361* HypocriticalHumor:
362** In the cartoon, Sam got on Danny for whenever he used his powers for his own purposes, but she didn't mind using her new powers for her causes, demonstrations, and protests, at least until Danny made her stop.
363** In "Trial By Fire", after Jack tells the Masters' Blasters that ghost hunting isn't about shameless self promotion, he asks Maddie for a drink, to which she asks if he wants Fentonade or Fenton-Up.
364-->'''Jack''': Surprise me.
365** At one point in “Royal Occupation”, Vlad says HowTheMightyHaveFallen to [[spoiler: Aragon]], despite having fallen quite far himself.
366** Danny points out to Vlad at one point that, for all his griping about Jack being a screw-up, his track record really isn’t that good either.
367** When Sam refuses to let Jazz off the hook for keeping what she knew about Vlad a secret, Danny points out that she doesn't intend to tell her parents about her ghost powers anytime soon.
368* ICantHearYou: In one scene of ''Laws of Attraction'', two of Walker's guards were putting up with Paulina's constant racket.
369-->'''First guard''': "Unnh! That's it! I'm putting in a request to get this brat in suspended animation!"
370-->'''Second guard''': ''(With his hands over his ears)'' What?!
371* IDontThinkThatsSuchAGoodIdea: This is basically what Jazz said to Sam about her plan to get ghost powers. It didn't stop her.
372* IHatePastMe: [[spoiler: While he doesn't hate him, Future Danny doesn't like that present Danny doesn't think before acting]].
373* IfYouTauntHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: After Sam made a comment regarding the fact that she has a boyfriend while Paulina doesn't to irk her, Danny warns her that if she keeps that up, she could end up like Paulina, much to Sam's horror.
374* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Sam does this whenever Danny goes feral in his SuperMode and is on the verge of destroying himself.
375* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: In ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler:Ghost Tucker hasn't been keeping up with events in Amity Park, and is thus taken by surprise by details such as Sam now being half-ghost herself or the existence of Danielle]].
376* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: When Sam leaves Danny to carry a heavy load of Fenton tech, Danny calls her a credit to the female gender, to which Sam responded with this trope.
377* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: While she can't shoot {{Hand Blast}}s like Danny, Sam can generate ecto strands which can be molded into nearly any construct she can imagine, similar to [[ComicBook/GreenLantern a certain comic book hero]], which was intentional by the author. According to WordOfGod, the reason Sam's main powers are different than Danny's is because the Fenton Portal she used to get her powers was a different version then the one that gave Danny his as it was rebuilt following the events of the GrandFinale of the cartoon. Also, the reason he chose to give her different powers was because he wanted to give Sam a different route in mastering her powers than Danny so it wouldn't be dull.
378* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: The author always puts "By Aaron" behind the titles of his stories.
379* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Danny changing the future, Skulker and Technus still become [=SkulkTech=] (albeit, temporarily). It's even possible that Box Lunch could soon appear.
380* InstantArmor: [[spoiler: G gets it in his SuperMode]].
381* InstantlyProvenWrong:
382** In ''Laws of Attraction'', when Paulina was upset over Danny and Sam being declared the hottest couple in school, Star tries to put her at ease, saying it's not as bad as it seems, only for two students to pass by gushing about how lucky Sam is.
383** In the climax of ''Royal Occupation'', when Dora is about to use her amulet and the Scepter of Fay to have Danny and Sam become dragons to fight Aragon, Aragon laughed at the attempt, saying Dora [[spoiler:could only grant the transformation to ''one'' of them. Much to his shock, however, the attempt worked and they both transformed. It's implied that the strange connection Danny and Sam have was the reason]].
384* InternalReveal:
385** In "Pairing Off", Danny finally learns that Ember is the girlfriend Skulker was talking about in "[[Recap/DannyPhantomS3E3GirlsNightOut Girls Night Out]]", while Valerie learns that Techus was the one who created the new battlesuit she gained in "Flirting With Disaster".
386** In "A Family Thing", the Fentons learn everything Vlad had gone through since last seeing him in "Phantom Planet". They could barely suppress their laughter when they heard how the Dis-asteroid hit him. [[spoiler:Jack, Maddie, and Jazz also learn about the existence of Danni]].
387* InterspeciesRomance: Subverted. Unlike other stories that would count due to Danny being half-ghost while Sam is human, here Sam is a ghost hybrid as well, making them both the same species.
388* IsItAlwaysLikeThis: After Jack's experiment in ''Stolen Years'' causes half the city to lose power, resulting in a huge mob forming on the Fentons' doorstep, we get this exchange:
389-->'''[[spoiler: Danielle]]''': "Uh, is this something I'm going to be seeing a lot of?"
390-->'''Jazz''': ''(disapprovingly)'' "Trust me, you don't even know".
391* IsThisThingStillOn: During the climax of ''What She Wants'', [[spoiler:when Poindexter explains to Team Phantom his reasons for helping Desiree, the microphone he'd been using broadcast the whole conversation through the headphones she was wearing. Desiree was touched that somebody felt for her like that]].
392* ItOnlyWorksOnce:
393** This was actually the trigger for the whole series. Clockwork knew that when Dark Danny eventually escaped his imprisonment in the Fenton Thermos, since he now existed outside of time and didn't have to worry about harming his existence while fighting Danny, Danny wouldn't have the edge he had against him the last time they fought, requiring Clockwork to bring in someone who could do the job. [[spoiler:Namely Danny and Sam's future selves]].
394** In "Trial By Fire", Undergrowth attempted to invoke this by bringing in evergreen trees that could withstand Danny's ice powers. It only partially works.
395** As shown in "Laws of Attraction", Walker clearly learned from his past experiences of humans being intangible in his prison, so he had a special wing constructed for human prisoners. [[spoiler: The only thing that messed it up was Sam's new ghost powers]].
396* JawDrop: In "Strength in Numbers", upon seeing Sam transform into her ghost form for the first time, the assembled members of Danny's RoguesGallery that were present all experienced this.
397* JumpedAtTheCall: While shown already eager to help Danny in the cartoon, Sam takes it to the extreme when she ''deliberately'' recreates Danny's accident in order to give herself ghost powers.
398* JustBetweenYouAndMe: In ''A Family Thing'', Vlad does this with the Fentons. [[MrExposition It helps to explain everything that's happened to him following "Phantom Planet"]].
399* KidDetective: Mike Harris, a boy at Elm Street Middle School fulfills this trope as he likes to investigate strange things going on at school. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he seems to be on the trail of Danielle's secret]].
400* KillItWithFire: Being plants, Undergrowth and his army were extremely susceptible to Sam's new ghost fire powers.
401* KillItWithIce: Partially subverted where Undergrowth decided to call in evergreen trees to combat Danny's ice powers. However, this trope was play straight when Team Phantom used their ice weapons to freeze Undergrowth's roots so Danny and Sam could finish him off.
402* KindaBusyHere: Before Sam got her ghost powers, Danny's ghost fighting duties continuously interrupted their dates. It seemed like the first clue as to what would happen to Sam.
403* KnightInShiningArmor: As revealed in ''Laws of Attraction'', this is how Paulina sees Danny Phantom. Sam can't help but find it funny.
404* LeaveHimToMe: This is what Agent Alpha, the leader of the Guys In White, says after [[spoiler: Danny leads an assault on their [=HQ=]]].
405* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: This is Jazz's moral when it comes to Danny and Sam's romance.
406* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: After the events of "Stolen Years" in which Danny and Sam were temporarily turned into toddlers, they made Tucker promise not to show anyone the picture he had taken of them. He ends up showing it Valerie at the beginning of "Laws of Attraction", and despite him telling her not to let them know, Valerie ends up being unable to contain her laughter the moment she sees Danny and Sam.
407-->'''Danny:''' ''(Flatly to an unimpressed Sam)'' He showed her the picture.
408* LikeParentLikeChild: [[spoiler: Despite being Danny's clone, it's clear that Danielle is Jack's daughter, sharing his impulsiveness. It's made extremely clear when they both fire at an unknown target shouting "Shoot first, ask questions later!"]].
409* LimitedWardrobe: Averted with Wulf. He gets a new outfit to replace his [[InstitutionalApparel prison garbs]] in the form of one of Jack's old Hawaiian shirts [[spoiler: courtesy of Danielle]].
410* LiteralGenie: When Jazz wishes that the computer she's using could run faster, Desiree gives it the body of a track star.
411* LivingEmotionalCrutch: This is what Danny has become to Sam, as she has stated countless times that she can't live without him and that he seems to be the only person to make her happy.
412* {{Lockdown}}: Whenever Jack and Maddie experiment with ectoranium that was left behind after the Disasteroid incident, Danny and Sam [[spoiler: and Danielle]] find themselves quarantined in clear boxes, much to Danny's annoyance.
413* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
414** Due to keeping himself isolated in his prison, Walker wasn't aware of Sam's ghost powers like the rest of the ghosts. This came in handy when she was captured.
415** After learning that [[spoiler: Vlad was behind the battle with Walker in ''Laws of Attraction'']], Jack, Maddie, and Jazz decided to keep it to themselves. [[spoiler: When Vlad kidnaps Danny in a later story, Sam gives Jazz a big WhatTheHellHero for it]].
416* LookWhatICanDoNow: Sam saving Danny from a collapsing building in the first story was all about her demonstrating her new ghost powers to him. As stunned at he was at Sam's transformation, he found the action to be pretty hot.
417* LotusEaterMachine: In ''Hearts and Minds'', [[spoiler:Nocturne traps Danny and Sam in one where they have no memory of each other. Naturally, they're pretty ticked off when they get out]].
418* LoveAtFirstSight: [[spoiler: When Poindexter first saw Desiree, he thought she was the beautiful woman he'd ever seen. It led to him helping her with her wish-granting handicap and eventually, freed her from her curse]].
419* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Danny and Sam in ''Hearts and Minds''. Naturally, it was a SpeakInUnison moment.]]
420* LoveIsAWeakness: This is what Walker thought as he kidnapped Sam to get Danny to do what he wanted. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he wasn't current about Sam's new half ghost status like the rest of the ghosts]].
421* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler: This is how Poindexter changes Desiree]].
422* [[LovePotion Love Spell]]: In ''Bad Breakup'', Ember's attempt to break up Danny and Sam was to use her music to make the jocks fall for Sam. Fortunately, Danny was more perplexed than jealous.
423* LovedINotHonorMore: In the first story of the series, Danny's ghost fighting duties constantly interfered with his and Sam's dates. Unlike most cases, Sam was very understanding. Following her transformation into Danny's partner, their dating life seems to have gotten easier.
424* LuredIntoATrap: [[spoiler: Vlad's]] plan in ''A Family Thing''.
425[[/folder]]
426
427[[folder:M-O]]
428* MakeOutKids: Danny and Sam, to the point it'd be hard pressed to find a scene where they're ''not'' kissing.
429-->'''Valerie:''' Oh, [[GetARoom would you two get a broom closet already?]]
430* MakesUsEven: In "Royal Occupation", Aragon considered [[spoiler:transforming Amity Park into his new dark age kingdom]] returning the favor Danny and Sam did when they helped Dora lead a rebellion of his kingdom.
431* MagicalGirlfriend: [[spoiler: Desiree becomes this to Poindexter at the end of ''What She Wants'']].
432* MamaBear: Maddie. She flips on [[spoiler: Vlad]] in ''A Family Thing'' and beats [[spoiler: him, or rather, a clone of him]] up.
433* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Vlad]] starts to take on this role, being behind the events of several stories.
434* MeaningfulEcho: [[spoiler: When Ghost Tucker was being conned by Hotep-Ra, he said the exact same things Tucker said when he fell for it]].
435* MessOfWoe: When Sam was out of town, Danny ''really'' got depressed, to the point of being a mess. Desiree and a bunch of ghosts took advantage of this.
436* MindControlDevice: [[spoiler: Vlad]] creates one [[spoiler: based off the technology of Nocturne's dream helmets]].
437* MindlinkMates: Similar to the PsychicLink they were [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally suppose to have in the cartoon]], [[MythologyGag Danny and Sam have developed a connection that allows them to sense each other's emotions and even where they are]].
438* MissingTheGoodStuff: In "Stolen Years", Danny and Sam were watching the climatic CarChase from a movie. However, just when it reached the scene of the hero's car doing an OutrunTheFireball, the television and all the lights went out, courtesy of Jack and his new Ghost Guzzler.
439* MissionControl: This is what Tucker's role on the team has become according to WordOfGod.
440* MobileMaze: During Danny's third visit to Walker's jail, he discovers the passageways change, making it difficult to find his way around it. [[spoiler: It's only through the special link he and Sam have that they're able to find each other]].
441* MomentKiller:
442** There has been one or two times when Tucker ruined a romantic moment for Danny and Sam.
443** Jack unintentionally did this by accidentally releasing a bunch of ghosts on the city while Danny and Sam were taking advantage of being in the dark.
444** In "A Family Thing", Danny and Sam's heartfelt good-bye comes to a halt when Jack dumps a load of Fenton tech into Danny's arms.
445* MundaneSolution: In ''What She Wants'', Jazz figures a quick way to beat Desiree during a fight with Danny and Sam: ''Make a wish that she couldn't attack them.'' It's Lampshaded when Jazz won't stop giving Danny grief about it.
446* MundaneUtility: In "Overheated", [[spoiler:Tucker jokes that if he could, Danny would use his newly controlled True Ghost Form to sleep in late and speed off to school in seconds. Everyone else except Danny finds it amusing]].
447* MyFutureSelfAndMe: [[spoiler: Two of these to be exact. When Dan Phantom escapes, Clockwork brings in Danny's actual future self and his partner, Sam, to capture him.]]
448* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sam has two moments of this in ''Trial By Fire''. First when she regains her memories of what she did while under Undergrowth's control. Then again when she realizes she inadvertently hurt Danny with her new fire powers.
449* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: A throwaway joke, but Danny commented that his 'Father Sense' was tingling when Jack caused a citywide blackout.
450* MysteriousPast: PlayedForLaughs. When Jack reveals he can speak Esperanto, much to Jazz's shock, he says "[[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents I have a whole secret life you know]] ''[[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents nothing]]'' [[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents about]]".
451* MysteriousWatcher: [[spoiler: The series has introduced a mysterious, new character who calls himself "G". He is powerful enough to beat the Masters' Blasters and also seems to be league a mysterious organization who have ordered him to keep an eye on Danny. In “Two For One”, his use of a “[[SuperMode True Ghost Form]]” and knowledge of the state implies that he is half-ghost as well. He also seems to have a grudge against Vlad for some reason, despite Vlad seemingly having no more idea of his identity that the heroes]].
452* MythArc: The series has three arcs going on at the moment: [[spoiler: Vlad sending ghosts after Danny for a strange reason, a new mystery character called 'G', and a mysterious link that Danny and Sam share]].
453* MythologyGag:
454** After Sam gets her powers, she and Danny begin to develop a PsychicLink like the one [[WhatCouldHaveBeen they were originally going to have]].
455** [[spoiler: The MysteriousWatcher G’s]] use of a motorcycle seems to be another nod to the original concept of the series, before they changed Danny to be half-ghost.
456* NamedByTheAdaptation: The series reveals the names of the Groovy Gang (Fran and Andy) and Extreme Ghost Breakers (Brenner and Sullivan), as well as the names of the other members of Freakshow's circus trope besides Lydia (Goliath, Elastica, and Green Kid).
457* NamingConventions: To avoid the '[[EmbarrassingNickname Inviso-Bill]]' incident that Danny went through, Sam decided to create her own super hero name. After trying and rejecting a few, she settled on the name Sam Tasma. WordOfGod is that the names Sam thought up and rejected were [[RealLifeWritesThePlot the same ones he tried and rejected for the same reasons]].
458* NeverRecycleYourSchemes:
459** Averted with [[spoiler: Technus, who tried again to gain control of the Cybertron computer. In his words "A good idea is a good idea". Of course, since Danny and the others couldn't stop him this time if he succeeded, it makes sense]].
460** [[spoiler: Also averted with Hotep-Ra, whose scheme of transforming all of Amity Park into an Egyptian kingdom was just a rehash of his last attempt. However, the author stated that the reason for this was for revenge on Tucker]].
461* NeverSayDie: Averted. The author is perfectly willing to use words like "die" and "kill".
462* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: Jane Parker, [[spoiler: Danielle]]'s friend. Her obsession with ghosts aside, she invites ''everybody'' to her party, even the school's AlphaBitch. Her reason: "I don't want to be rude".
463* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
464** [[spoiler: Future Danny and Sam]] are about to trap Dan when Tucker and Valerie who were trying to help bring along a device which Dan uses to trap [[spoiler: Future Danny and Sam]].
465** Desiree’s scheme to capture Danny nearly failed when he was too depressed over Sam being gone to eat any food, [[GambitRoulette rendering the spell Desiree had put on it in an attempt to get him to gorge to the point of helplessness useless]]. Too bad Tucker convinced him to eat.
466%%* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bradley Milton.
467* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In response to Nocturne [[spoiler:trapping them in a dream world where their memories of each other were sealed away, Danny and Sam gave him an absolutely ''vicious'' thrashing, with no room for him to fight back]].
468* NoodleIncident:
469** In the first story of the series, according to Sam, within the past month in-between the Dis-asteroid incident and the beginning of the story, she and Danny had gone out on twenty-three dates, but thanks to Danny's ghost fighting duties, they weren't able to finish even ''one''.
470** In "Strength In Numbers", it's mentioned that Desiree making Danny eat to the point of popping was actually his ''second'' two hour eating binge. Whatever happened the first time around, which appears to have happened shortly after he got his powers, apparently [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Sam now finds it funny]] while Danny hasn't gotten over it.
471** In "Bad Breakup", there are mentions of incidents Sam caused with her new ghost powers, with one at the steakhouse involving a dancing side of meat and another involving the animals in the biology lab that was so bad that the janitor was afraid to clean the science section alone for weeks.
472*** In "Junior Hijinks", Sam also hints that she's been using her overshadowing ability in the past without Danny knowing, but Danny and Tucker don't want the details.
473** "Stolen Years" gives another hint that the Fentons are visited by angry mobs frequently by having Jack comment that their formations are getting faster.
474** In "Royal Occupation", after finding himself wearing a jester's outfit (as a result of Aragon transforming the city), Jack gives an indication that this kind of thing happens to him when he drinks carrot juice before going to bed.
475** In "Junior Hijinks", after the Extreme Ghostbreakers [[spoiler:are defeated by Danielle]], the arriving paramedics moan while saying "Not these nuts again!", giving an indication that the Ghostbreakers frequently end up in the hospital.
476** In "What She Wants", it's mentioned that during the previous Valentine's Day, Sam had organized a ticker tape protest with shredded valentine cards.
477* NotSoDifferentRemark:
478** In "Trial By Fire", while fighting Undergrowth, Sam says as much as she detests what humans do to the Earth, he's no better, wanting to take everything for himself without any consideration for the other creatures living on the planet, topped off by saying that she's much closer to some of the humans than she could ever be to Undergrowth.
479** In "Two For One", Danny gives a speech about this to his ghost half to convince him that they need each other. [[spoiler: It enables him to get control of his True Ghost Form]].
480* NotWhatItLooksLike: In "Bad Breakup", after Danny saves Sam who was being chased by the jocks who were under Ember's love spell, Sam desperately tells Danny that she had no idea what caused them to go crazy. Fortunately, their Ghost Senses going off helped her case.
481* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: A running theme of the series, with the status quo being shaken up more and more as it continues:
482** "Facing the Future": Sam duplicates Danny's accident and becomes a half-ghost herself.
483** "Strength In Numbers": Sam's new ghost status is revealed to the Ghost Zone.
484** "Trial By Fire": Sam officially calls herself Sam Tasma while also developing fire powers.
485** "Hearts and Minds": Danny and Sam confess their deeper love for each other.
486** "Pairing Off": Skulker's battlesuit is upgraded to the [=SkulkTech=] version, with the change being permanent.
487** "A Family Thing": Danny is shown to have a SuperMode that isn't an EleventhHourSuperpower, he and Sam are revealed to have a mysterious connection to each other, [[spoiler:and Danielle is adopted into the Fenton family]].
488** "Junior Hijinks": A MysteriousWatcher is shown to be keeping an eye on Team Phantom.
489** "What She Wants": [[spoiler:Desiree undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and hooks up with Poindexter]].
490** "Ancient History": The Scarab Scepter of King Duulaman is left in Tucker's safe keeping.
491** "Two For One": Danny gets control of his SuperMode, called the "True Ghost Form".
492* NowYouTellMe: Maddie calls out to warn Danny about a pair of anti-ghost gauntlets ''after'' they shock him.
493* ObliviouslySuperpowered: In ''Trial By Fire'', much like Danny first gained his ice powers, Sam was initially unaware that she was developing her fire powers. Thanks to the nature of her powers, she didn't even notice that she was generating intense heat and insisted she felt completely fine despite the concerns of Danny and the others until she was finally told straight out that her body temperature was {{Off The Chart}}s.
494* OfficialCouple:
495** The series continues where "Phantom Planet" left off, with Danny and Sam being a couple.
496** As mentioned in "Girls Night Out", Skulker and Ember are still together.
497** As of ''Laws of Attraction'', Dash and Paulina end up getting together.
498** [[spoiler: Surprisingly, in "What She Wants", Poindexter and Desiree end up together]].
499* OhCrap: Too many instances to list.
500* OhNoNotAgain:
501** Sam's reaction to Danny's ''[[NoodleIncident second]]'' two hour eating binge.
502** This was ''everyone's'' reaction when Danny once again triggered his dangerous SuperMode.
503** Sam compared the school being fascinated with her and Danny's relationship to the time people blogged about her ghost form when she was first being recognized.
504** Danny and Sam reacted this way when Tucker attempted to reuse his 'Victory Through Technology' platform [[spoiler:in his mayoral campaign]].
505* OneTrueLove:
506** Following their mutual LoveConfession, it is mentioned several times throughout the series that Danny and Sam see each other as the love of their lives.
507** [[spoiler: Finding hers was the only way for Desiree to get out of her curse to grant every wish she hears. Surprisingly, it turns out to be Sydney Poindexter]].
508* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: [[spoiler:Whatever Burner's name was in life is unknown, with Team Phantom referring to him by the name on his mechanic's outfit. Burner admits it's as good a name as anything]].
509* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: At the end of "Hearts and Minds", following her and Danny making a mutal LoveConfession, Sam's parents were shocked to actually see her chipper and happy, to the point they thought she was actually growing out of her Goth streak. Sam then made a point to prove that she was still a GoodBadGirl.
510* OpenTheDoorAndSeeAllThePeople: After Jack's Ghost Guzzler sucks up the power of half of Amity Park, there's a loud bang at the front door and he, Maddie, Jazz, [[spoiler: and Danielle]] come face to face with an angry mob led by Sam's parents. Jack comments that the mob's formation and arrival was [[NoodleIncident a new record]].
511* OriginalFlavour: The series is one of the few that maintains the show's balance of action and comedy. In fact, many feel that it's the way Butch Hartman himself would do a continuation.
512* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Wulf has been appearing more often than he did in the cartoon.
513* OutOfTheInferno: This is how Dark Danny makes his triumphant return; emerging from the explosion of the Fenton Thermos containing him.
514* OutrunTheFireball: Played with. In ''Stolen Years'', Danny and Sam were watching a movie where the hero's car was performing a RampJump to do this. Unfortunately, just as it reached its climax, [[MissingTheGoodStuff the power went out courtesy of a blackout caused by Jack]].
515[[/folder]]
516
517[[folder:P-S]]
518* PainToTheAss: In "Stolen Years", Jack experiences this courtesy of a Ghost Ray Little Danny accidentally fired.
519* PainfulTransformation: Much like when Danny got his ghost powers, Sam's ghostly transformation was this. Her scream as it happened was so chilling that Jazz would never forget it even if she lived to be a hundred.
520* PairTheSpares: The series has created a uniquely new pairing, [[spoiler: that of Desiree and Sidney Poindexter]]. Definitely one of the most bizarre, if not tender, moments in the series.
521* PapaWolf: Jack Fenton. He even admits it in ''Stolen Years''. "But heroes or not, NO ONE messes with Jack Fenton's kids!"
522* TheParalyzer[=/=]PressurePoint: Maddie's sleeper hold technique is shown further, to the point where Sam wants to know how to do it.
523* ParanormalInvestigation: In ''A Family Thing'', the Fentons are hired by Bradley Milton to investigate a haunting at his mansion [[spoiler: caused by Danielle. It's later revealed that the whole thing was actually a trap set up by Vlad]].
524* PeoplePuppets: During a fight with Desiree, Danny and Sam were temporarily turned into these.
525* PerformanceAnxiety: It seems that the ghost controlling staff that Freakshow's family had was to help the ghosts get over their stage fright.
526* PlayingWithFire: Among the many differences Sam's powers are to Danny's is that she has developed ghostly flame abilities in contrast to his [[AnIcePerson ghostly ice]]. In particular, Sam sets things on fire by focusing her heat aura, rather than throwing fireballs.
527* PoorCommunicationKills:
528** Because Danny and Sam didn't tell their friends they merely pretended to be broken up, Tucker, Valerie, [[spoiler: and Danielle]] thought that the ghosts were responsible and went on the warpath in the Ghost Zone. Still, it was justified because the ghosts were spying on Danny and Sam.
529** Made extremely serious in ''A Family Thing'' when [[spoiler: Danny's desire to keep Danielle's existence a secret from his family gets them all captured]].
530** It works in the favor of the heroes when [[spoiler: Walker's isolation means he's LockedOutOfTheLoop about Sam's new powers, allowing her to escape when he captures her]].
531** In ''Two For One'', Jazz worries that [[spoiler: not telling Danny that Vlad was up to something may have factored into Vlad capturing him]].
532* PossessionEqualsMastery: Subverted. Having seen Danny do it dozens of times, Sam figured she'd be an InstantExpert when she first got her powers. Unfortunately, she discovers she had the same PowerIncontinence issues Danny had at first, requiring her to spend her first few hours being trained [[spoiler:by her future self]].
533* PowerIncontinence: When Sam's fire powers first manifested, she couldn't control them and they grew to the point that she burned anything she touched. After training with Dora Mattingly and getting some encouragement from Danny, she got control of them.
534* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: This is the effect of [[spoiler:Future Sam's alternate ghost form]].
535* PowerNullifier: Vlad's spectral energy neutralizer box makes a return. [[spoiler:It's eventually destroyed when Danny unleashes his SuperMode to break out of it. However, as shown in ''Two For One'', it seems that Vlad has made a copy]].
536* PowerStrainBlackout:
537** Whenever Danny snaps out of his feral SuperMode, the exertion causes him to change back and faint. Fortunately, he recovers very quickly.
538** This, combined with PostVictoryCollapse, happened to Sam after the battle with Undergrowth after she used too much of her fire power to defeat him.
539* [[PowersInTheFirstEpisode Powers In The First Fic]]: In the first story of the series, upon learning that she was Danny's partner in the future, Sam decided to recreate his accident to gain ghost powers of her own.
540* PresentCompanyExcluded: In "What She Wants", during a conversation between Danny, Tucker, and Valerie about Valentine's Day coming up, Valerie halfheartedly asked if anyone had anyone special to spend the day with, before promptly turning to Danny and saying this word-for-word.
541* ProducePelting: Done twice in ''Royal Occupation''. First with Jack who had become the village fool of the dark age version of Amity Park, then again when Aragon and his minions were locked in the dungeon at the end.
542* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: In ''Bad Breakup'', upon realizing he had been scared silly by Tucker's robot, Dash gets angry and punches it, [[TooDumbToLive not realizing it's not actually Tucker]], and ends up hurting his hand for his troubles.
543* PuppyLove:[[spoiler: Even when their mental capacities are diminished in their child forms in ''Stolen Years'', signs of Danny and Sam's relationship still shine through. Maddie and Jazz find it adorable. Jack and Tucker, not so much]].
544* RampJump: In ''Stolen Years''. Danny and Sam were watching a movie scene where a car was doing this with a fireball just millimeters behind it.
545* ReformedButNotTamed: While Valerie has become a more heroic ghost hunter and let go of her grudge against Danny, she still holds a serious vendetta against all other ghosts, ready to blast them whether they've done something wrong or not.
546* RegainedMemoriesSequence: In the climax of "Hearts and Minds", this occurs when Danny and Sam regain their sealed memories of their relationship, complete with lines from both the show proper and previous stories in the series.
547* RelationshipResetButton: [[spoiler: Nocturne temporarily did this by trapping Danny and Sam in a dream world where they didn't remember each other. [[{{Understatement}} They were pretty ticked off at him when they woke up]]]].
548* RelationshipSabotage:
549** A group of Danny's enemies attempted to do this in ''Bad Breakup''. However, this failed due to a combination of Danny and Sam trusting each other and their attempts not being thought out.
550** [[spoiler: Nocturne]], on the other hand, nearly successfully pulled this off in ''Hearts and Minds'' when he [[spoiler: trapped Danny and Sam in a dream world and [[RelationshipResetButton sealed away their memories of each other]]]].
551* RelationshipUpgrade: The series takes place following Danny and Sam getting together in the cartoon's SeriesFinale. The author has done a nice job portraying how their new relationship would go, especially with Sam becoming Danny's new ghost fighting partner.
552* RemovedAchillesHeel: One of the benefits of Skulker's armor being upgraded by Technus is that he's now immune to Tucker hacking into his operating system.
553* RepressionNeverEndsWell: In "Trial By Fire", when Sam's fire powers first manifest and prove difficult to control, Sam tries to supress them, which unfortunately causes them spark at random. Dora Mattingly explains to her that she needs to will the fire to do as she wants, not repress it.
554* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Sam’s PlayingWithFire powers have this. Basically, she has the same cold core effect as Danny, but a mutation caused her to develop extreme temperatures closer to the surface to compensate, giving her fire powers instead. This means that while she has the same PowerIncontinence problem Danny had with his AnIcePerson abilities, she doesn’t feel any side effects from the heat she’s putting off like Danny felt with his cold aura, to the point where she doesn’t notice that she’s putting out over 300 degrees of heat.
555* RescueRomance: In "Laws of Attraction", [[spoiler:during the battle with Walker's forces, Dash saves Paulina from a ghost ray that went through Danny, causing Paulina to fall for him. It's hinted that Danny deliberately set it up that way]].
556* RevolversAreJustBetter: [[spoiler: G uses a revolver]].
557* [[RichBitch Rich Brat]]: Victoria of Elm Street Middle School. Nice girl invites you to a party? Let's dump glue on her. Unsurprisingly she becomes [[spoiler: Danielle's rival, not to mention her target when she starts using her ghost powers on the school bullies]].
558* RiddleForTheAges: When Desiree's attacking forces include demonic garden gnomes, Tucker openly wonders what kind of wish could have been twisted into that.
559* RivalsTeamUp:
560** After learning Danny's secret, Valerie Gray has not only abandoned her hatred of Danny Phantom, but she has become a permanent ally to him as well as a member of Team Phantom. However, she still has a strong resentment against other ghosts.
561** This trope also applies to the Masters' Blasters, who Tucker decided to keep on retainer.
562* RocketPunch: One of the capabilities of Skuler's new armor is that his hands can fly off [[spoiler: which he uses to deliver Danny to Vlad]].
563* RollOutTheRedCarpet:
564** When Tucker made his first appearance in the series, he did so by having a long carpet come rolling through Danny's house when he opened the door.
565** Dan Phantom also made a joke about the trope when he met [[spoiler:Future Danny and Sam]].
566* RousseauWasRight: The basic moral of ''What She Wants''.
567* RunningGag:
568** In ''A Family Thing'', Jack accidentally shot someone with the Fenton Foamer three times over the course of the story: first Tucker, then Jazz, and then [[spoiler:Bradley Milton who was being overshadowed by Vlad. Near the end of the story, he almost shot Danielle, but was blocked by an umbrella courtesy of Jazz]].
569** In ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler: Hotep-Ra would be burned to ashes by Sam's fire power, then regenerate while shouting his catchphrase "I...AM...RISEN!", only for Sam to burn him to ashes again]].
570** For a series wide gag, there's Tucker "milking" being the new mayor of Amity Park.
571* SadisticChoice: When Technus [[spoiler: was taking control of the cybertron satellite again]], he gave Danny and Sam the choice between stopping him or saving [[BusFullOfInnocents a runaway bus full of people]]. Technus [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] that he knew their obvious choice: save the bus.
572-->'''Danny''': "[[VillainHasAPoint I hate it when he's right]]".
573* ScaledUp: Villainous and Heroic version in ''Royal Occupation'' when [[spoiler: Prince Aragon transformed into his dragon form and Danny and Sam used Dora Mattingly's amulet to do the same to fight him]].
574* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl:
575** In ''Bad Breakup'', Dash let one of this when he saw Tucker's robot for the first time and thought aliens were invading.
576** In ''Ancient History'', Tucker was psyching himself up to help Danny and Sam [[spoiler: when Danielle tapped him on the shoulder from behind and he screamed while flailing his arms]].
577* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Danny ''epically'' calls Walker out on his doing so in ''Laws of Attraction'', summing him up as a massive {{hypocrite}} because he breaks his so-called "rules" whenever he feels like it.
578-->'''Danny''': What do YOU care about rules? You break your precious "rules" whenever it's convenient. Why don't you just admit it? All rules are to you is an excuse to try and control everyone! YOU'RE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!
579* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In ''Junior Hijinks'', upon encountering [[spoiler: Danielle in her ghost form, Scaredy Cat freaks out, dashes back to the Groovy Gang's van while dragging his teammates with him by his leash before hopping in the driver seat and speeding off to parts unknown]].
580* ScrewYourself: [[spoiler: A variation is used when Sam dresses up like Danny for Halloween. Still, it is [[{{Squick}} quite disturbing]] to Tucker]].
581* SecretChaser: [[spoiler: Mike seems to be showing shades of this as he's determined to learn Danielle's secrets]].
582* SecretKeeper:
583** The author feels that everyone at the South Pole who learned Danny's secret at the end of "Phantom Planet" became this, believing there were bigger secrets than what a fifteen year old boy did in his spare time.
584** As of ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler: Tanya]].
585* SecretRelationship: Inverted where Danny and Sam pretended to break up to deter a bunch of ghosts trying to separate them. Unfortunately, it backfires in more ways than one.
586* SecretTestOfCharacter: "What She Wants" reveals that [[spoiler:Desiree has basically been giving one ever since she was cursed into her current state; she will eventually meet the person she is destined to be with when they do something nobody else has, but she can't say what that condition is in case someone else tries to fake it (her destined partner is Sidney Poindexter, who 'won' because he expressed concern for what she wanted when making wishes rather than just wishing for stuff for himself)]].
587* SequelEpisode: Quite a few stories are continuations of canon episodes:
588** The first story, "Facing the Future" is one to ''WesternAnimation/TheUltimateEnemy'', dealing with the return of Dark Danny while also including the aftermath of changes that occurred in "Phantom Planet".
589** "Trial By Fire" has Sam dealing with the events of "[[Recap/DannyPhantomS3E6UrbanJungle Urban Jungle]]".
590** "Royal Occupation" sees Prince Aragon return for revenge for what happened in "Beauty Marked".
591** "Ancient History" gives closure to [[spoiler:Tucker for the events that happened in "What You Want" and "King Tuck"]].
592* SerendipitousSurvival: Not so much "survival", but in "Royal Occupation" [[spoiler:Danny and Sam being in the Ghost Zone kept them from being affected by Aragon's spell when he transformed Amity Park into a dark age kingdom]].
593* SexySecretary: Tucker's secretary Tanya. After [[spoiler: defeating Hotep-Ra and Ghost Tucker]] and realizing he lacks any knowledge of politics, Tucker promotes her to be his campaign manager.
594* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler: Ghost Tucker is]] this to Tucker. He is self-centered, insecure and envious, things that Tucker has [[CharacterDevelopment slowly grown out of]] since he became mayor of Amity Park. It reaches a climax in ''Ancient History'' when [[spoiler: Ghost Tucker tries to convince him that he'll just be third wheel and a nobody if he gives up the Scarab Scepter. Tucker refuses his offer and defeats him]].
595* ShipTease: The series has been hinting at Tucker/Jazz a couple of times like when Tucker gave Jazz a hug and kiss when she gave him an idea [[spoiler: and when kissing her undid his frog transformation]].
596* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler: G’s powers seem to be electricity based]].
597* ShoutOut:
598** Plenty. For one thing, Sam's powers are based off of [[ComicBook/GreenLantern a certain comic book hero]], which the author says is intentional.
599** There's also the aforementioned shout out to ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''.
600** In "Stolen Years", Maddie comments that she feels [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons court dates are the only things the Fentons still do as a family]].
601** [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Elm Street]] Junior High School.
602** There have also been a few phrases borrowed from ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents''.
603** [[spoiler: "[[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead Just call me 'G']]."]]
604** A small one, but a group of ghost hunters causing a city-wide blackout and facing a court date because of it. [[Film/GhostbustersII Sound familiar?]]
605* ShowSomeLeg: What Maddie does to Jack in ''Royal Occupation'' in order to snap him out of Aragon's brainwashing. [[ParentalSexualitySquick Danny is suitably disturbed.]]
606* ShownTheirWork: Another thing that makes the series good is that the author has clearly done his research of the original cartoon. Not a lot of fanfic writers do that.
607* ShutUpHannibal: Danny and the others have dished this out more than often throughout the series.
608* SickAndWrong:
609** A few times throughout the series. One example was when Danny and Sam were quite disturbed by [[spoiler: the sight of Skulker and Ember cuddling]]. Another was when Tucker and Valerie were freaked out by seeing [[spoiler: Danny and Sam kissing [[ScrewYourself while Sam was dressed as Danny]]]].
610** This was also the reaction of everyone when [[spoiler:Dash appeared, wearing a ''female'' cheer-leading outfit]].
611* SidekickGraduationsStick: Sam upgrades to Danny's full-fledged partner after her own ghostly transformation.
612* SixthRanger: [[spoiler: Danielle]], along with Jack, Maddie, Valerie [[spoiler: and Wulf]].
613* SkewedPriorities: Mike Harris finds the Extreme Ghostbreakers' escapade through Elm Street Middle School to be internet gold, never minding the fact of the damage they caused. [[spoiler: Danielle]] lampshades it.
614* SkywardScream:
615** In "Hearts and Minds", Danny and Sam let out a vicious one when [[spoiler:Tucker and Jazz thermos Nocturne before they were finished making him pay for sealing away their memories of each other]].
616** At the end of "Laws of Attraction", Walker lets out a growl of frustration like this after [[spoiler:Danny and the others escape from his prison]].
617* SleepCute: At the beginning of "Laws of Attraction", it's revealed that during the events of "Stolen Years", Little Danny and Sam had at one point fallen asleep on the couch together after running themselves ragged, with Tucker fortunate enough to snap a picture of it. Upon showing it to Valerie, she found it hilarious.
618* SmokeOut: In "Pairing Off", one of [=SkulkTech=]'s weapons is called Fright Fog, which generates a thick cloud that not only obscures, but it is laced with ecto-energy so that Danny and Sam's ghost senses malfunction within it. Skulker is able to see through the cloud thanks to a pair of ecto-sensitive goggles.
619* SoapBoxSadie: While not as intense as in canon, Sam still has moments of this, such as using her new ghost powers to cause scenes at steakhouses and in science labs (at least until Danny convinced her to stop), as well as showing her disapproval for Valentine's Day by organizing an assembly regarding Valentine card composts (the previous year, she had set up a ticker tape protest using shredded Valentine cards).
620* SomethingWeForgot: At the end of "Two For One", [[spoiler:with Vlad's plan ruined, Danny having gained control of his True Ghost Form, and the mysterious "G" having left them with more questions than answers, Jazz halfheartedly asks the rest of Team Phantom if it feels like they've forgotten about something. Sure enough, the final scene shows Skulker is still loose as he scavenges Vlad's abandoned lab for anything he can use...only to trigger the lab's security system]].
621* SpeakInUnison: Danny and Sam, moreso than in the cartoon. The author has even expanded on this by having it be the basis of a special link they have developed. WordOfGod is that he did it because he felt that all the times Danny and Sam had a 'unison moment' was Butch's way of making up for shelving the link that they had in the original draft.
622* SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler: Danny apparently convinces his ghost side to do one after their BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind]].
623* SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler: Danny’s ghost half tried to do this to Danny, but Danny manages to talk him down and convince him to do a SplitPersonalityMerge instead]].
624* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler: The reason Sam got her ghost powers was because she was driven by the revelation was that her future self was half ghost]].
625* StalkingIsLove: It seems Jack used to camp out on Maddie's family's front yard just to see her when she first got back from a trip. While Maddie thought it was touching, Jazz thought there was nothing about that to be proud of.
626* StartsStealthilyEndsLoudly: In "Laws of Attraction", Danny and Dash sneak into Walker's prison in order to rescue a captured Sam and Paulina, who had managed to get out of their cells thanks to Sam's powers. However, when Bullet reports Sam's ghost status, it leads to Walker sounding the alarm, forcing the party to bolt immediately, with Green Kid and Goliath in tow. Unfortunately, they end up hitting an electrified forcefield and crash into the prison yard where they end up surrounded by Walker's army. [[spoiler:Fortunately, the rest of Team Phantom arrives to back them up]].
627* StickySituation:
628** One of [[spoiler:[=SkulkTech=]'s]] weapons is a blaster that shoots out balls of ecto adhesive that, as Danny discovered, is immune to intangibility. [[spoiler:Fortunately, Danny's ice powers manage to work well on it]].
629** There's also a scene in the first story where Jack attempts to blast [[spoiler:Future Danny]] with a weapon called Ecto Bondo that ends up trapping him, Maddie, and Jazz is a sticky mess.
630* StormingTheCastle:
631** In "Stolen Years", Team Phantom invades [[spoiler: the Guys In White's headquarters in order to save Danielle]].
632** In "Laws of Attraction", Danny and Dash infiltrate Walker's prison in order to save Sam and Paulina. [[spoiler:They are later aided by the timely arrival of the rest of Team Phantom]].
633* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: [[spoiler: Danielle, when captured by the Guys In White. Given her previous experiences, she's not impressed]].
634* SuddenlyBilingual: In ''Laws of Attraction'', Jack reveals he speaks fluent Esperanto, much to Jazz's shock.
635* SuperMode:
636** In the first story of the series, Danny unlocked a form that gives him a major power boost whenever he goes through extreme duress. Unfortunately, this has shades of DeadlyUpgrade as he not only begins to act more and more beastly the longer he's in the form, but the energy he generates builds up too fast and can cause his body to burn out.
637** [[spoiler: His future self seems to have gotten control of it and from the looks of her future self, Sam will get one too]].
638** [[spoiler: “Two For One” reveals it’s called a “True Ghost Form” that works by temporarily making him a full ghost, and not only does Danny finally gain better control of it, G has one as well, with his causing him to manifest crystalline InstantArmor]].
639* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid: Initially, Tucker built his robot so that he could attend classes while fulfilling his mayor duties. It was later revealed that it was also equipped with anti-ghost weapons, making it useful in ghost fights.
640* SureLetsGoWithThat:
641** Said word-for-word by [[spoiler: Ghost Tucker to Sam to cover up what he didn't know she was talking about]].
642** When Skulker and Technus fused, they take the [=SkulkTech=] moniker when Danny and Sam suggested it because they thought it was better than the name they came up with.
643* SwallowedWhole: At the end of ''Ancient History'', [[spoiler: Hotep-Ra and Ghost Tucker get swallowed whole by the Tucker-faced sphinx, courtesy of Tucker. Hotep-Ra doesn't look forward to [[AnuscapePlan the passage that will lead out]]]].
644* {{Swirlie}}:
645** According to Poindexter, in life, he got this as much as he got shoved in his locker, much to Danny and Sam's disgust. It allowed him to use the toilet [[ToiletTeleportation as a second doorway]] into Casper High.
646** For that matter, Dash was about to give a poor kid one of these when Poindexter made his appearance.
647[[/folder]]
648
649[[folder:T-U]]
650* TakeAThirdOption: When Dan Phantom met [[spoiler: Future Danny and Sam]], he gave them the option to 'kneel and live' or 'fight and die'. [[spoiler: Future Sam]] suggested mixing and matching.
651* TarAndFeathers: This is essentially what happens to Friend One and Two in ''Junior Hijinks'', with glue and shredded paper substituted.
652* TechnologyMarchesOn: [[InvokedTrope It's clear]] that Fenton Tech will become more advanced in the future now that Jack and Maddie are alive in it, as shown when [[spoiler: Future Danny and Sam's Fenton Thermos can be compacted into a disk form]].
653* TemptingFate: In ''Junior Hijinks'' [[spoiler: before the climax dealing with Danielle and the Blasters]], Tucker lamented that there was nothing to do. Sam kicked him for it.
654* ThatsGottaHurt: Jack makes these comments while he and the kids [[spoiler: watch Maddie beat up a clone of Vlad]].
655* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: Averted, Jack and Maddie are more than happy to [[spoiler: take in Danielle as their new daughter]].
656* ThatWasNotADream: In "A Family Thing", when Sam woke up screaming [[spoiler:upon sensing Danny was in trouble]], she knew deep in her heart that what she experienced was no dream.
657* TheBusCameBack: The series features the return of many characters that only made one appearance in the cartoon, Dark Danny the most prominent.
658* ThePowerOfLove:
659** [[spoiler: Sam uses this to get through to Danny and help him change back whenever he changes into his dangerous SuperMode]].
660** [[spoiler: It's implied that it was this that allowed Danny and Sam to regain their memories of each other in ''Hearts and Minds'']].
661* ThePowerOfTrust: Prevalent in ''Ancient History''. Tucker [[spoiler: trusts Tanya with her memories of Ghost Tucker and Hotep-Ra's attack]], and Danny and Sam in turn [[spoiler: trust Tucker with the Scarab Scepter of King Duulaman]].
662* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Over the course of the series, the heroes have delivered epic speeches to the villains. Danny gives a spectacular one to [[spoiler: Walker]] in ''Laws of Attraction'' on how [[spoiler: he's willing to break his own rules, calling him the biggest hypocrite he's ever met]]. During her fight with [[spoiler: Undergrowth]], Sam gives one to him about [[spoiler: him being no different than the humans who harm the planet. Considering what he made her do in cartoon, it's understadable]]. Maddie also gives one to [[spoiler:Vlad in ''A Family Thing'' about how he doesn't love, just wants. He just shrugs it off]].
663* TheUnmasquedWorld: Averted. While many fans believe that the ending of "Phantom Planet" hinted that Danny's SecretIdentity was revealed to the whole world, the author believes that it was kept secret by those at the South Pole. WordOfGod believes they keep secret other things besides what a teenager does in his spare time.
664* ThereWasADoor: In the first story of the series, Jack and Maddie enter the underground bunker beneath City Hall through a hole Jack blew in the wall. Afterwards, Jack blew ''another'' hole in the wall for them to leave, much to Maddie's disappointment.
665* ThirdWheel: Valerie had concerns that Danny and Sam were treating Tucker like this, but Tucker reassured her that even though they were together, they were still his friends, and he recognises that he actually ''would'' just be a third wheel if he tried to accompany them on dates or into action.
666* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: Vlad's reaction to Danny being able to bust out of his spectral energy neutralizer, followed by being savagely beaten within an inch of his life by Danny in his feral SuperMode]].
667* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself:
668** Subverted. Danny at first thought he was the only one who could stop Undergrowth in ''Trial By Fire'', which is Justified seeing as how he did so in the cartoon. However, he ends up getting help from the rest of Team Phantom to bring him down the second time around.
669** A straighter example is when Sam writes and recites her poetry. She literally needs to be away from Danny to be in her 'dark place' as he makes her too happy.
670* ThisMeansWar: This is what Dark Danny said to [[spoiler: Future Danny]].
671* ThrowTheBookAtThem: During the climax of ''Ancient History'', a brainwashed Jazz hit Danny in the head with a scroll. [[spoiler:After Danny takes it away from her, she produces a dagger, making Danny think he was better off with the scroll]].
672* ThrowTheDogABone: After years of a horrific afterlife, [[spoiler: Sidney Poindexter and Desiree find honest love with one another. The latter escapes her wish granting obligation, and the former is able to become the principal of his school with Desiree's protection]].
673* ToMakeALongStoryShort: Tucker gave Valerie a short version of the story where they met Dark Danny.
674* TookALevelInBadass: Sam, full spades. While she was already a BadassNormal in the cartoon, after obtaining ghost powers, [[EmpoweredBadassNormal she's even more effective]]. What's more, despite her having her powers for a shorter time than Danny, she's already become just as powerful, which is justified because unlike Danny, Sam had someone to train her, [[spoiler: her future self]].
675* TorchesAndPitchforks: More like Lanterns and Flashlights, but the anger was definitely there when the neighbors surrounded [=FentonWorks=] after Jack caused a blackout.
676* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
677** [[spoiler: Danielle]] loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Not being able to eat any drives [[spoiler: her]] nuts.
678** [[spoiler: She]] has also developed a liking for apples [[spoiler: due to living off fruit stands for the past six months]].
679* TrainingMontage: Sam went through one when she first got her ghost powers. It went just about as well as when Danny trained to use his ice powers (in fact, it occurred in the same arena), but she came out of it pretty awesome.
680* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Danny's new SuperMode is triggered whenever Danny is extremely distressed, such as when someone he cares about is in mortal danger.
681* TrenchcoatBrigade: Mike Harris's detective look includes one of these.
682* TrickedOutGloves: Jack and Maddie developed a pair of gloves that fed ghosts back their own ecto energy in the first story. In the same story, Vlad later modified them to absorb energy from ghosts, specifically from Dan [[spoiler: and Future Danny and Sam]]. Fortunately, Danny and Sam destroyed them during the climax.
683* TwoScenesOneDialogue: In ''Laws Of Attraction'', there's a scene that switches back and forth between Danny and Sam and Tucker and Danny's family with members of Freakshow's circus to explain what happened to them following the first encounter with Freakshow in the cartoon.
684* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler: Apparently, when Dora brought her realm out of the dark ages, Aragon's Executioner and Archer were the only ones who remained loyal to him, to the point that they had to be locked away in the dungeon. Aragon rewarded this loyalty with increased strength granted by the Scepter of Fay]].
685* UnexpectedCharacter: [[spoiler: The return of the ghost half that was separated from Tucker has taken a few people by surprise]].
686* UngratefulBastard: In "Two For One", [[spoiler:Danny's ghost half accuses him of being this for seeing him as nothing but a burden even in spite of all the powers he gave him, especially when Danny tried to get rid of his powers in "Phantom Planet". Danny, for his part, feels guilty for taking his ghost half for granted, and fortunately manages to get through to him]].
687* UnskilledButStrong: According to WordOfGod, while Vlad is powerful and manipulative, he has never gotten into knock down drag out fights like Danny because he feels he's too good for that. However, this doesn't help when he ends up on the other end of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
688* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In "Strength In Numbers", when Danny is in a funk over Sam being out of town, Jazz halfheartedly wishes that something would happen to take his mind off it. Unfortunately, Desiree ends up taking advantage of it in order to set up an ambush for Danny with some of his other enemies. Upon learning of the mess she inadvertently got him into, Jazz apologized to Danny...constantly, to his annoyance.
689* UnwittingPawn:
690** In ''A Family Thing'', [[spoiler: Vlad uses a brainwashed Danielle to trap Danny and his family]].
691** [[spoiler: In "Laws of Attraction" and "Royal Occupation", Vlad manipulated Walker and Aragon in order to bait Danny into encounters hoping to gain more data on his True Ghost Form]].

696* VillainExitStageLeft: Vlad has continuously escaped capture by Team Phantom with the aid of his [[ActuallyADoombot duplication power]].
697* VillainHasAPoint:
698** When Technus gives Danny and Sam the options to stop him or save a runaway bus in ''Pairing Off'', he points out that it's obvious they'll go after the bus. Danny even admits it, to his disdain.
699** In ''Laws of Attraction'', Danny reluctantly admits that some of Walker's prisoners actually ''do'' belong locked up.
700* VillainOpeningScene:
701** The beginning of ''Royal Occupations'' has [[spoiler:Vlad stealing the Scepter of Fay from archaeologists]].
702** ''Two For One'' begins in a similar fashion to "Kindred Spirits", with Vlad looking over footage of Danny [[spoiler: to attempt to figure out how to control his True Ghost Form]].
703* VillainTeamUp: Multiple times. First, a group of Danny's enemies teamed up to capture him in ''Strength In Numbers'', then again in ''Bad Breakup'' to break up Danny and Sam, followed by Skulker and Technus joining forces to (inadvertently) form [=SkulkTech=] in ''Pairing Off'', and most recently [[spoiler: Hotep-Ra worked with Tucker's former ghost half in ''Ancient History'']].
704* VillainousBreakdown: After being thoroughly thrashed [[spoiler:by Future Danny and Sam]], Dan flew at Danny and Sam in a blind rage. In his weakened state, he couldn't stand up to a double punch from the duo.
705* VillainousGentrification: In "Overheated", [[spoiler: Frank Townsend, one of Tucker's political rivals, plans to demolish an old salvage yard as part of his plans to develop Amity Park. This is what leads to Burner, the ghost of a teenager who lived there, to violently resist the attempt to demolish it]].
706* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Sam, as shown in ''Strength In Numbers''. In fact, the main reason she went and got her powers was to give Danny more support.
707-->'''Sam:''' We're about to show these freaks that they did this all wrong. They want my boyfriend...they {{go through ME}} first!
708* VomitDiscretionShot: When Danny hurled the excess food he ate, it was described as everyone present stopping what they were doing and watch in disgust while the sound of Danny retching echoed around them.
709* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler: Ghost Tucker tried to coax Tucker into having them rule the world together with the Scarab Scepter's power. It doesn't work]].
710* [[WhamEpisode Wham Fic]]:

720'''Both of them:''' ...I love you.
721** From ''A Family Thing'':

732-->'''Jazz''': "Danny? Is that...Sam?"
