Bagani is a {{Fantasy}} [[PhilippineSeries TV series from the Philippines]] that draws inspiration from the country's various myths. In the beginning, the world of [[ConstructedWorld Sansinukob]] was made from a twinkling light in the heavens blessed by [[{{God}} Bathala]]. So blessed was it that Bathala's most powerful creatures, the brother deities [[CainAndAbel Apo and Sarimaw]], were tasked to guard it.
%%It is divided into five regions, each ruled by a clan:

Unfortunately, it was post-betrayal and there already was a rift between them.

* [[HenshinHero Henshin Heroes]]: The five Bagani.

* HiddenElfVillage: The Taga-Gubat do not interact much with the other clans, very rarely so that Lakas' disguise of hailing from them was immediately called to question.

* OddNameOut: According to the official site, Lakam's BondCreature is ''Bernardo Carpio'', named after a FolkHero from the ''Spanish'' colonial era.

Because of their differing lifestyles and principles, they are often at odds with each other, but they will learn that there are more harmful threats than their fellow men. Five heroes from each clan desiring peace, the Bagani, have arisen to fight the supernatural forces aiming to overthrow the mortals.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Amid the criticism of casting fair-skinned actors of Caucasian descent in a story inspired by pre-colonial Philippine mythology, there was actually a hero in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibalong_Epic Epic of Ibalong]] from the Bicol Region named Baltog who is [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]] [[http://bicolanomythsofgodsandmonsters.blogspot.com/2016/09/ described as pale-skinned]]. He is from Botavara/Bharata-varsha/UsefulNotes/{{India}} and Wiki/TheOtherWiki and [[https://www.aswangproject.com/ibalong-epic/ other sources]] outright describes him as a White Aryan (that is, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Iranians Indo-Iranian]]).

** Alab was [[BetrayalByOffspring killed by his son]], Dakim.

* ATasteOfPower: The first scene of the series has Lakas fighting a dragon but it took ten episodes to show how he actually got empowered.

-->''Ang mga Bagani ay totoong mandirigma na mula sa kultura ng Indigenous Peoples.'' (The Bagani are real warriors from the culture of Indigenous Peoples.)

* CallToAgriculture: After Agos was crippled, he tried to grow produce in the desert with limited success.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Taga-Disyerto subverts this by having no [[HonorBeforeReason delusion of honor]] and [[IDidWhatIHadToDo had to]] rely on [[DesertBandits less savory ways to survive]].

** A new line was added preceding those:

* WaxingLyrical: When Lakas first arrived in the land of the Taga-Patag, he happily enumerated the vegetables in the Filipino folk song ''Bahay Kubo'' with a LastSecondWordSwap from ''linga''/sesame seed to ''gulay''/vegetable itself.

* CultureChopSuey: The five groups are based on different Filipino indigenous groups but it's hard to tell which ones. It's not merely an artistic choice but also a necessity so as not to malign a specific tribe.

[[caption-width-right:350:Any similarities to actual Philippine tribes is merely coincidental. Or so we claim.]]

* CultureChopSuey: The five groups are based on different Filipino indigenous groups but it's hard to tell which ones.

* TheExile: The group of Taga-Disyerto came to be when Lakas' parents, [[StarCrossedLovers Agos and Lila]] (a royal heiress), were banished from the land of the Taga-Kalakal along with several others that followed them. This could have ended through a father and daughter reconciliation yet they were ambushed by Dakim's group.
