* AdoptingTheAbused: A variant; Tadashi is still loved (and is now dearly missed) by his friends and family, but is now dealing with the trauma of watching them grieve him without being able to let them know that (in a way) he's still there. So it's reassuring to the reader (and Tadashi himself, despite his initial shock) when the Guardians immediately take Tadashi in as one of them.

* FamilyOfChoice: While not all of them get along too well and they sometimes spend months apart doing their respective duties to the children of the world, the Guardians have formed this with each other. This makes sense as, seeing as how they are former people reincarnated as immortal, magical spirits, they'd be alone in the world if not for each other.

*AdorableFluffyTail: When Tadashi Hamada becomes a kitsune [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians guardian spirit]] upon his death in ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'', he has a fluffy fox tail both in animal and (sometimes) in human form. This shows Tadashi's gentleness, signaling that he's trustworthy even when he looks like a wild animal, as while Jack Frost makes fun of him for it, young Nozomi most remembers Tadashi's fluffy tail and how he let her pet it when she was scared. His friends also call him adorable in fox form and pet him (though they didn't know it was him at the time).

* CommonalityConnection: While they clash at first, Tadashi and Jack have a lot in common: they're both the youngest members of the Guardians, they're both older brothers (though Tadashi has a little brother while Jack has a little sister), they both have element-based powers (fire for Tadashi, ice for Jack), they can both fly (although Tadashi takes a while to get there), they both struggle at first with feeling that they're not worthy of being a Guardian, [[spoiler: they both learn what their center is after seeing tooth-box memories]], and they both have Jamie as their first believer.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The Sandman is the first Guardian Tadashi meets. Sandy saves Tadashi after he falls out a window, patiently explains to him what his dream sand does (and reveals that he's the Sandman), helps Tadashi stop Hiro's nightmare, reveals to Tadashi that he's dead (and comforts him immediately after), then begins spreading the word about Tadashi so that he can meet others who'll likely be able to better answer his questions.

* TheFettered: Considering how his family and friends all believe that he's dead and he's been chosen to become one of the Guardians of Childhood, no one would blame Tadashi for leaving his family behind and embracing his new existence as a spirit. But, being Tadashi, he can't bring himself to leave them as long as they're alive (especially when they're all still grieving him). This earns him the respect of several Guardians (and is ultimately what wins Jack over), and it's when he's protecting Hiro that Tadashi is able to unlock more of his powers (namely flight).
* {{Foil}}: Tadashi and Jack have similar origins, but opposite powers, vastly different personalities, and while Jack lost his memories, Tadashi kept them (mostly). Also, they're both older brothers who did all they could to protect their siblings (although a guilt-ridden Tadashi states that Jack died saving his sister, while Tadashi died after running into a burning building and leaving Hiro alone).

* DarkerAndGrittier: Both films used for this story deal with mature themes and have high stakes, but both are ultimately light-hearted family films. This fic not only contains a lot of swearing and violence (especially whenever [=Go-Go=] is featured), but the fic points out that burning to death is [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath not a good way to go]].
* AFatherToHisMen: While North isn't the leader of the Guardians, he's the oldest/arguably wisest member of the group and the North Pole (his home) acts as an unofficial base of operations. Thus, it makes sense why he'd be willing to act like a parental/authority figure to the younger members of the team (namely Bunny (despite their somewhat close in age), Jack, and Tadashi). Tadashi even admits to himself that he's started coming to North for advice the same way he used to go to Callaghan. Of course, it's easy to believe that Santa Claus would be this trope.
