YMMV / Huntik: Secrets & Seekers

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The show's theme song qualifies, doubling as an ear worm at that. The same can be said of the English language version, and especially the German one.
  • Complete Monster: The Betrayer, originally one of the sorcerers and seekers who helped found the Huntik Foundation, turned upon his fellows to summon back the Lovecraftian monstrosities known as the Nullifiers after their initial conflict with Lord Casterwill to destroy the world once again. The Casterwill family fought back and destroyed the Betrayer, but his spirit endured, forming the Bloodspiral Brotherhood to work at his revival. The Betrayer eventually had the Casterwill family "purged" with any who served as obstacles treated the same way. Upon his revival, the Betrayer revealed that he had double-crossed the Bloodspiral Brotherhood and they would not be spared from destruction either. The Betrayer proceeds to summon a comet the destroy everyone present and summon the Nullifiers, plotting to destroy everything that lives on Earth to satisfy his lust for chaos.
  • Fandom Rivalry: Has a small one with Winx Club. This can mainly be attributed to how their parent company treated the two series: Huntik would never even get a third season to conclude its own Myth Arc while Winx Club would go on to have multiple Post Script Seasons that ironically would lead to its own Seasonal Rot along with multiple spinoffs. The series effectively suffocated under the shadow of its more profitable peer and lack of advertising.
  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • Draco Titans's descriptions says that they are noble and chivalrious warriors. Fittingly enough, only good characters are shown to be able to bond with them. And that also explains why Rassimov couldn't bond with Cavalier.
      • There only two exceptions to this. The first is Harlekin, who represent an harlequin, or better yet a joker. A joker is known to go against the rules. The other is Antedeluvian who is explicitly said to be influenced by Vlad, who is said to be the cruelest Seeker that ever existed and in the end, he bonds with Harrison. Harrison will then pull a Heel–Face Turn. Yes, it's not an exception anymore.
    • Swara Titans, in contrast, look monstrous. As you can guess, only antagonistic characters are shown to use them. The one good character that uses a Swara Titan is Zhalia, who is actually part of the Organisation before leaving it for good.
    • Despite Dante saying that DeFoe's Titans were with him for too much time for someone good to bond with them, Zhalia still managed to with Gar-Ghoul. The reason for that is because Gar-Ghoul was bonded with DeFoe for the least amount of time so it wasn't completely corrupted and was able to bond with someone else.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The two Blood Spiral-only spells, Darkvoid and Abyssalfall, which essentially create localized-yet-temporary black holes, and all that implies - the former is inescapable, while the latter can be escaped from with help, yet is still dangerous. Most of the targets are inanimate objects and/or Titans note , but in Season Two a Silent Soldier used the latter spell on Sophie from behind... without the last-second save that followed, the result couldn't have been pleasant.
  • Replacement Scrappy: Den is seen as this by some, especially Zhalia fans, who felt that Zhalia's infiltration subplot was unnecessary and a mere excuse to get rid of her and put him in her place as the fourth member. In the epilogue of Season 2, he takes Dante's spot, when he's promoted to the Huntik Council, and Lok becomes the new team leader.
  • The Woobie: Zhalia, after her Backstory is revealed. In season two Den, Harrison, Dante, and Sophie all have these moments.
