History Film / WendyWuHomecomingWarrior

* NotSoDifferent: Wendy and Jessica, as the movie makes sure to highlight.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: A variation of this; Tory [[spoiler: becomes possessed off-screen and nearly takes Wendy's soul, so as Shen knocks the orb out of Tory's hands, Wendy snaps out of it and sweeps Tory into the pool.]]

* DramaticIrony: A poignant scene between Wendy's parents has Wendy's father reflect on the effect Shen has had on their family, specifically on how he's helped them reconnect with their Chinese herotage. Said father then laments on how Wendy will probably get nothing meaningful from Shen. As the audience knows, if anything, Wendy is the one who has the ''most'' to gain from Shen.

* FarEast: Out of universe example. In Romania, the film goes by two different titles. One is a rough Romanian translation of its original English title, used for the film's runs on Disney Channel. The other, used for runs on other channels, is "Un samurai în sufragerie", which, in English, means "A samurai in the living room".

* WithFriendsLikeThese: A variation of this; Tory [[spoiler: becomes possessed off-screen and nearly takes Wendy's soul, so as Shin knocks the orb out of Tory's hands, Wendy snaps out of it and sweeps Tory into the pool.]]

* AlphaBitch: Jessica. And Wendy herself towards the start of the film.

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: During the final battle, Wendy's grandmother appears and talks to her for a while, culminating in her giving Wendy the tradition warrior outfit to change into, which she does. Meanwhile, Shan-yu just stays still and politely does not interrupt them.

* AlphaBitch: Jessica.

* BeautifulAllAlong: Shin gets a makeover within in the middle of the movie, and become MrFanservice as a result, though Wendy [[GreenEyedMonster regrets this later on.]]

* MrFanservice: Shin after his makeover.

* ShoutOut: Sally Martin plays Tory Hanson, a character with the same name as her Power Rangers Ninja Storm character.

* {{Reincarnation}}: Shen is confirmed to be one to one of Mei's original companions -- speicifcally her first teacher. It's never explicitly stated that Wendy is Mei's reincarnation (only her descendant), but considering their identical looks that have been the features of every Yin-warrior before her, and the fact that Wendy inerits her abilities -- both physical and supernatural -- there isn't any other logical explanation. If this is true, that means Wendy is also the reincarnation of her great-grandmother, the previous Yin-warrior and her grandmother's mother.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Inverted; Wendy lets her rival Jessica win the Homecoming Queen title, which touches Jessica enough to put her on good terms with Wendy as a result.

* PlayingAgainstType: Brenda's character is more down-to-earth and mature compared to her's from [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody The Suite Life series.]]
