* CastingGag: RobinAtkinDownes voiced another captain: Captain Romulus Slag from ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestrucution''.

* CastingGag: RobinAtkinDownes voiced another captain: Captain Romulus Slag from ''RatchetAndClank''.

* {{Homage}}: [[spoiler: To UsefulNotes/HattoriHanzo, particularly ''Film/KillBill'''s swordsmith. As to the fact that he's a [[UsagiYojimbo rabbit]], well...]]

** BarefootSage: Considering the above trope, and his EccentricMentor relationship with Lion-O.

* [[spoiler:DeathByChildbirth]]
* TheHighQueen: Of the soft spoken variety.

* MissingMom
* ModestRoyalty

* ProperLady: Basically she's gentle, incorruptible and pure. [[spoiler:She sacrifices herself for her son Lion-O]]. She is devoted and loyal, and her good will and charity is [[spoiler:what leads Tygra into eventually becoming a Thundercat]]. However, more important than anything else... is her gentle smile.

* [[spoiler:FinalSpeech: Assures Lion-O that ItsTheJourneyThatCounts]]

* TheLeader: In adulthood he becomes a Type IV (Charismatic) Look to this one to give the RousingSpeech.

* [[spoiler:{{Retirony}}: Dies before he can ascend the Cliff of Winds, (an uncoiled fern) and ride an updraft to his ancestral home.]]

* [[spoiler:AndThatLittleGirlWasMe]]: The Drifter tells a NamelessNarrative of how the Duelist acquired his favorite trophy blade, implying that Lion-O will repeat the mistakes of its previous wielder.
* BadassAdorable: Comes with being a rabbit.

* BrilliantButLazy: Until Lion-O piques his interest.
* BulletTime[=/=]SuperReflexes: As "[[NotQuiteFlight a drifter]]," he induces this ''at will,'' to the point where he appears able to {{Overcrank}} himself.

* [[spoiler:CoolSword: The Sword of Hattanzo, which he made himself.]]
* DanceBattler: And he doesn't even need to throw a punch. At one point, he performs a pirouette in ''midair''.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon: When he lost his best sword to The Duelist.]]

* TheDrifter: Actually [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] He poses as someone who quite ''[[LiteralMetaphor literally]]'' blows into town, and claims to go "wherever the wind takes him" but that translates to floating around the fringes of the Swordsmans' Town, waiting for someone like himself to come along so he can deliver an AdventureRebuff. By the time he's done with Lion-O, he's come to fully embody his archetype, [[RidingIntoTheSunset walking into the sunset]].

* EnlightenmentSuperpowers[=/=]PowerBornOfMadness[=/=]TookALevelInBadass: Not that he ''cares,'' but the Drifter has essentially perfected his NotQuiteFlight and NonchalantDodge [[spoiler:through suffering an ongoing ''major depressive episode''. The languid movements that came with his feelings of despair and apathy after his defeat by the Duelist allowed him to become aware of all his flaws as a young combatant.]]

* EyesAlwaysShut: Often. Seems to only open his eyes when making particularly trenchant points or being very emotionally engaged.

* [[spoiler: TheGunfighterWannabe[=/=]KidSamurai]]: Became a ScrapHeapHero out of his failure.
* HiddenDepths: Guess why his entry has so many spoilers.

* KarmicTrickster: Towards the Duelist.

* LeaningOnTheFurniture[=/=]RebelRelaxation: Slouches, slumps or sprawls whenever there's a structure in his immediate vicinity.
* LimitedWardrobe: In his case, [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]]. He's been wearing the same set of clothes for a long time, and it actually shows in their tattered, patched condition. [[spoiler:He's been wearing them ever since his defeat at the hands of the Duelist]].

* MessyHair[=/=]WildHair: His dark brown hair is long, unkempt and full of bits of straw.
* NonchalantDodge: A ''master.''

* RascallyRabbit: Overlaps with TricksterMentor.

* [[spoiler:UltimateBlacksmith: Hattanzo himself, maker of the Duelist's best trophy, the Sword of Hattanzo.]]

* [[spoiler:WaifFu: A rare GenderInverted example. Willow reeds kick ass.]]
* WalkingSpoiler

* WeakButSkilled: [[spoiler:Apparently if you're badass enough, you ''CAN'' disarm someone wielding a knife with just [[ImprobableWeaponUser a willow reed.]] In youth, he was its inverse, UnskilledButStrong.]]
* {{Wuxia}}[=/=]{{Wutai}}: His personal genre. Despite not being a trained warrior, he borrows from the {{Ronin}} concept, and blows WireFu away.
* ZenSurvivor

* {{Expy}}: In the PrincessMononoke - like plot of "The Forest of Magi Oar", he's closest to Moro. [[spoiler:His warming to Lion-O also reflects this.]]

* EccentricMentor: To Wilykit.

* GentleGiant

* [[spoiler:LetsGetDangerous: It takes a lot to happen but you do NOT piss off an [[GentleGiant Elephant]] without consequences.]]
* [[spoiler:MightyGlacier]]
* TheObiWan

** BarefootSage: Considering the above trope, and his TricksterMentor relationship with Lion-O.

* BeneathTheMask: His mildly amused, smiling, BrilliantButLazy exterior hides a despondent man [[spoiler:who still grieves the loss of his masterwork to the Duelist.]]

* BigBadassBirdOfPrey

* AmericanAccents: A light [[SouthernGentleman southern]] drawl. (His voice artist is a character actor who frequently plays southern archetypes.)

* DistressedDude: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Tends to [[UnwillingSuspension snag himself]] on fences and need Lion-O's help getting down, which begs the question as to why he always [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel manages to appear]] where Lion-O is, just when the boy could use some advice...

* ConfusionFu: Disorients opponents with NotQuiteFlight, NonchalantDodge, and {{Brandishment Bluff}}s

* CastingGag: JimCummings is the voice of [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Tigger]], as well as many other cat character roles, such as Pete from ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' and Mayor Manx from ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats''.

* GardenGarment

* LawOfInverseFertility: She and Claudus were struggling to conceive a child before Tygra came along, but were eventually able to have Lion-O by the time Tygra was a few years old. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, [[DeathByChildbirth she died in the process.]]

* LawOfInverseFertility: She and Claudus were struggling to conceive a child before Tygra came along, but were eventually able to have Lion-O by the time Tygra was a few years old.

* ActorAllusion: He's a monstrous bird who's violently over-protective of his home. This may seem familiar to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fans.

* ActorAllusion: A mad scientist obsessed with bringing the dead back to life? Played by Creator/JeffreyCombs? [[Film/ReAnimator Why does that sound so familiar]]?
** It's also not the first time Mr. Combs has played [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime a robot skilled with science]].
** Nor his first time [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague dealing with other people's trash]].

* {{Homage}}: [[spoiler: To HattoriHanzo, particularly ''Film/KillBill'''s swordsmith. As to the fact that he's a [[UsagiYojimbo rabbit]], well...]]

* MeaningfulName: He literally drifts on windcurrents as easily as a leaf. [[spoiler:His real name, Hattanzo, is a contraction of HattoriHanzo.]]

* MoralityPet: In "Birth of Blades" she was the one who openly questioned [[spoiler:Mumm-Ra]]'s brutal orders and caused the initially blindly loyal Leo to start questioning them as well.
