3''Total Drama Tokyo'' is the fourth season in [=Toadgamer80's=] ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfic series. After the infamous ''Fanfic/TotalDramaRevolution'', Tokyo returns to the form set by ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'' and features better attempts at plots, humor, and characterization. Similar to ''Tiki Jungle'', this season introduces multiple [[BreakoutCharacter Breakout Characters]], six of which would return for [[Fanfic/TotalDramaSuperstarShowdown the all-star season]] one story later.

5The premise of the story involves 22 all-new contestants, split up into three teams, competing in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tokyo, Japan]] for a new prize of one million dollars. Chris [=McLean=] still hosts, and he has quite a few new tricks up his sleeve, such as giant robots, candied fish tails, and {{Youkai}}.

10!!This story provides examples of:
11
12* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The author is fond of this trope. The following quote is typical:
13-->'''Estrella:''' Blood. Centipedes crawling across people's skin. Knives flying out of nowhere and almost stabbing people's heads. Dead dogs in the highway. Vultures that eat human carcasses. Gory, grisly corpses hanging out to dry. Oh, and teddy bears.
14* AscendedExtra: Mr. Chapman started out as just a person Roz would frequently reference, but then [[SpotlightStealingSquad took over the show]]...
15* AuthorAvatar: Tolkien, according to WordOfGod - his romantic troubles were essentially based on the author's similar situation at the time and his love for fantasy games was thought of so he wouldn't be too similar to the author.
16* AxCrazy: Roz at her worst, although she's usually just a GenkiGirl.
17* BlandNameProduct:
18** [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Luncheons & Laggins]], the card game Tolkien is obsessed with.
19** Beets by Dray, which are shaped like the vegetable.
20* BreakoutCharacter: Flora is a one-dimensional character created as a parody of generic slotfiller characters in ''Total Drama'' fanfictions. She's also a very popular character, so popular she appeared in the 'all-stars' season.
21* ButtMonkey: Puck. Within eighteen chapters, he almost drowns multiple times, gets kicked in the groin by Wolfgang multiple times, gets turned into a pig, gets attacked by a demon while using a Porta-Potty, gets attacked by Japanese tourists, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and gets his pizza stolen]]. Among many other things.
22* TheCameo: Contestants from previous installments regularly make brief appearances.
23* ClosetGeek: Ari. Tolkien comes across her [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Luncheons & Laggins]] cards one day.
24* DarkIsNotEvil: Delia and Vivienne both look scary but have pretty good intentions.
25* DeadpanSnarker: This trait is [[WorldOfSnark very common]] among the contestants, with Estrella being the leading practitioner due to her disdain for pretty much everything.
26* DisgustingPublicToilet: Puck runs into a Porta-Potty in the woods in the eighth chapter. In addition to the usual traits, this one has a demon living inside of it.
27* TheDragon: [[TheDitz Isabel]] serves as this to [[RichBitch Layla]], although Isabel [[TooDumbToLive doesn't know it]].
28* EmbarrassingFirstName: Puck's real name is [[spoiler: Cornelius]] Puckerschmidt.
29* {{Expy}}:
30** Estrella was inspired by Jade West from ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' and Raven from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.
31** Neal and Vivienne were respectively inspired by Neal from ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' and Vivian from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', although neither ended up as complex or developed as their inspirations.
32** Puck and Wolfgang were based around and named after two [=NPCs=] from ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'', although their personalities are much more fleshed out.
33** Roz has many similarities to canonical ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' character, [[CloudCuckooLander Izzy]]. Roz is postulated as Izzy's [[ItRunsInTheFamily cousin]].
34* FlatCharacter: Flora is a parody of one. She spends her time on the show trying to get people to notice her, since [[LampshadeHanging she's tired of being boring and one-dimensional]].
35* HehHehYouSaidX: Quite a few times with Puck. Also, this:
36-->'''Chris:''' Tomorrow, this chappy is getting long.
37-->'''Roz:''' Hehehehe. Chappy. Long.
38* {{Jerkass}}: Quite a few, including Anderson, Thomas, and Wolfgang [[spoiler: [[HiddenDepths (although this is later subverted)]]]].
39* LoonyFan: Casey is obsessed with previous contestant Chelsey and tries to model her behavior after her... it doesn't work. She even meets Chelsey during one chapter, and this is her reaction:
40-->'''Casey:''' [[GibberishOfLove IVDTJDGKDKDFTYJEXJRYB LW;E;,YNMERKNSEKBR R,C./E.B,OITYONSRU QIYWIW83NY RKUSUYNBHKUYREM,SNI.]]
41* LoveTriangle: Two happen:
42** One in the beginning of the story between Casey, Thomas, and Puck.
43** One after the merge [[spoiler: between Ari, Roz, and Tolkien.]]
44* OddFriendship: Roz and Ari - Roz is eccentric, extroverted, and a GenkiGirl, and Ari is shy, awkward, and the CloudcuckoolandersMinder. Casey and Puck's relationship is this humorously.
45* RichBitch: Layla until [[spoiler:she wins money and gives it to Charles, her butler.]] Although, in the next season, it's back, with her missing Charles and trying to get others to do her work for her.
46* ShoutOut:
47** Chapter four to ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', chapter six to ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', chapter ten to ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'', and chapter thirteen to... WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory.
48** Wolfgang's line "MY LIFE IS LIKE A FART!" is a shout-out to a certain episode of WesternAnimation/AdventureTime.
49* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Puck and Casey, who end up dating. He's one of the shortest (and squattest) guys in the season and she's very lanky.
50* TokyoTower: The contestants have to climb it in one challenge. Disaster ensues.
51* TookALevelInJerkass: Thomas. He started out as a nice, somewhat goofy guy, and turned into a bastard who hated Puck and was extremely jealous of his relationship with Casey.
52* WorldOfHam: The Final Five include LaughablyEvil Layla, GenkiGirl Roz, CampStraight Kai, and PungeonMaster Puck.
53* WorldOfSnark: Snarkiness is a very common trait among the contestants.
54* {{Youkai}}: The challenge in chapter eight involves the contestants traversing the woods to find a key to a treasure chest which is guarded by supernatural beings.
