History Animation / Miniforce

* AbortedArc: Some of the segments that take place in Suzy’s house seem to end suddenly (and shift into a battle with the MonsterOfTheWeek ) without a proper conclusion.

* HotBlooded: Max. Lets just say he has quite a problem with his temper.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Volt. He can certainly be pretty jerkish, especially to Suzy, but deep down, he's just as brave and heroic as his teammates.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Volt. He certainly has his {[Main/Jerkass jerkish}} moments, especially towards Suzy, but deep down, he's just as brave and heroic as his teammates.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Volt. He certainly has his {[Jerkass jerks}} moments, especially towards Suzy, but deep down, he's just as brave and heroic as his teammates.

* BadassAdorable: The Miniforce team, of course

** In "Miniforce and Baby Iguana", Pascal has stolen the Iguana Queen's egg and placed it near Suzy's house so that [[ParentsForADay the Miniforce will take care of it when it hatches]], then lie to the Iguana Queen herself that the Miniforce has stolen it so that her trust towards them gets broken and that she will try to fight the Miniforce when they approach her.

A {{Prequel}} movie based on the series was released in 2016, called ''Animation/MiniforceNewHeroesRise''.

English-dubbed episodes of Miniforce can be found on [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK2GFjc2PnRViSHRObX5nKA SAMG’s official YouTube channel]], as well as their [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmElsfgN0WY4ycwKHKWbTyg?app=desktop MiniforceTV YouTube channel]]. The show is also available for streaming on Creator/{{Netflix}}, with the option of watching it in its native Korean with English subtitles, an English dub, and a Latin American Spanish dub (though Netflix categorizes the episodes under a single 52-episode season rather than two 26-episode seasons for some reason, so in this case "first season" refers to episodes 1-26 and "second season" refers to episodes 27-52 in Netflix order).

*** Shaku from "Shaku the Pirate King" and Croaker from "Ravenous Croaker" are more PettingZooPeople than the usual FunnyAnimals of the show.

* BlueIsHeroic: Volt the squirrel has a blue motif, though he actually defies standard {{Sentai}} protocol by taking the [[TheLeaderr leader]] role that a [[RedIsHeroic red ranger]] would normally take; see RedIsHeroic below.

%% Information on the currently Korean language-only "Miniforce X" movie and subsequent show will be added once enough reliable English-language info (ie. more than just Google translated Korean sources) surfaces on it, or when it gets dubbed into English. It might need to be splintered into a separate article (as with the New Heroes Rise prequel movie) once that information has been obtained and written with examples.

* BlueIsHeroic: Volt the squirrel

* RedIsHeroic: Sammy the owl

The show follows four main characters: [[TheLeader Volt the squirrel]], [[TheBigGuy Max the beaver]], [[TheLancer Sammy the owl]], and [[TheChick Lucy the fox]]. Together, they are part of an animal agent organization known as the Miniforce. They normally live at a house under the care of a human named Suzy. But when the [[BigBad Big Bads]] Nein and Pascal plot trouble and carry out evil plans around their peaceful area, our heroes come to the rescue by transforming into human-like battle suits and putting a stop to their plans, usually involving defeating another villain or a mechamon. In the second season of the show, [[SixthRanger Ray]] the [[MixAndMatchCritters animal chimera]] sometimes tags along to help the Miniforce even. The show itself [[FollowTheLeader appears to take after]] Japanese {{Sentai}}-style {{Tokusatsu}} shows, especially the look and style of the ''Franchise/SuperSentai''/''Franchise/PowerRangers'' series, but animated and combined with an [[AnimalSuperheroes animal hero]] element.

So basically, it's VideoGame/AnimalCrossing [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] Franchise/SuperSentai / Franchise/PowerRangers, with a side order of Franchise/{{Transformers}} and Anime/{{Voltron}}.

* PumpkinPerson: The pumpkin mechamon in the second part of "Halloween Party"

* StockFootage: Many scenes and poses gets reused and reused every episode.

** For that matter, is the girl’s name Susie or Suzy? Netflix’s subtitles say Susie, yet the English dub credits and some of the YouTube upload descriptions also say Suzy. Her original Korean name is spelled “수지” in hangul, which honestly can mean either.

** Is the show’s name/team’s name (at least in English) “Miniforce” with no space between, or “Mini Force” with a space? Even official sources don’t seem to be consistent with the spelling, what with Netflix spelling it with no space but one of the episode titles “Mini Force and Baby Iguana” being spelled with a space in the official YouTube upload. Though the Korean name of the group, “미니특공대”, is officially spelled with no space after the “Mini” part

** One [=YouTuber=] who made a WebVideo/YouTubePoop of the show one time has said “I especially like how Pascal's design is basically [[http://tokusatsu.wikia.com/wiki/Ecogainder Ecogainder]] but evil”.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Surprisingly averted for a show rated TV-Y7 on American Netflix's Kids section, where Pascal utters "Try a taste of the hell on earth!" in the first part of "Miniforce, The Final Battle". Granted, South Korea (the show's country of origin) [[ValuesDissonance doesn't have as many qualms about uttering or mentioning "hell" on a kids show as much as America does]], but this carries over to the English dub without the usual censorship that comes with it or affecting the show's rating too (The original line in Korean is "진정한 지옥의 맛을 보여 주마!", meaning "I'll show you the true taste of hell!"). The episode's Netflix subtitles (which doesn't match up with the dub) has Pascal calling the Miniforce "hellions" too.

%% Because of the Spell My Name With An S situation with many of the names, here's a guide of the "proper" spellings (at least for this article) to make things easier and consistent: the team name/show title is "Miniforce" (ONE WORD, NO SPACE), the main girl's name is "Suzy" (not "Susie"), and the bad white haired guy is "Nein" (as in the German word for "no").

''Miniforce'' (original Korean title: 최강전사 미니특공대, Choegang Jeonsa Mini Teuggongdae, literally “Strongest Warriors Mini Commando Squad”) is a 2014 [[HangukManhwaAenimeisyeon South Korean]] AllCGICartoon made by [[Creator/{{SAMG}} SAMG Animation]] (an animation studio also known for their contributions to ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''). Originally airing on the EBS television channel in South Korea, the show consists of two seasons of 26 episodes each (for a total of 52 episodes), with each episode lasting approximately 11 minutes each.

* ChekovsGun: Remember the second episode where it was revealed that [[spoiler:Pascal can disguise himself as Volt in the beginning? It doesn't come into play (not even in the episode where the ability is introduced) until over 20 episodes later, when he uses that ability to trick Ray into believing that the Miniforce was betraying him.]]

* NewMediaAreEvil: The premise of "Dangerous Smartphone" is that Pascal has made brainwashing smartphones to get animals and humans (including Suzy and Lui) addicted to them so that they will be too distracted to notice his evil plans being carried out. The MonsterOfTheWeek for that episode is even a giant mechamon with a smartphone for a head. [[{{Irony}} You could even watch that episode along with other Miniforce episodes on a smartphone with the Netflix app]].

* AndTheAdventureContinues: In the final episode, [[spoiler:the Miniforce were set up to [[ButNowIMustGo depart Bluebell Village]] following their final battle with Pascal, but they were eventually told to stay should a new threat other than Pascal arise. [[SequelHook And sure]] [[TheStinger enough....]]]]

* TheStinger: The last few seconds of the final episode before the end credits show [[spoiler:a mysterious new evil figure in the depths of a cave. [[SequelHook Definitely some set up for a new season or a movie]] with a new main antagonist other than Pascal, neither of which happened yet so far.]]
