In a fantasy world, three young women would summon beings from other worlds to be their familiars. Unbeknownst to them, what they summon were not mere animals nor humans but superheroes.
Now, these three heroes have to explore and learn about this new world all the while defending it from forces not just native here but also from beyond.
The Familiar of Zero Tales of the Robin is a fanfic crossover between The DCU and The Familiar of Zero. It is created by PowerCore Productions
. It is part of the Anime DC Comics series.
This work contains the following tropes:
- Adaptation Deviation:
- Rather than be a full-on maid, Siesta is a work studies student meaning she can study in the Tristain Academy while she still works on her maid duties.
- Sgt. Rock is the soldier that saved Osmond in the past.
- Alternate Universe: The three heroes pieced together that they came from different universes due to their own information does not match with one another. As the series progress, they found out a lot of more universes interact with the world they're in.
- Badass Normal: Compared to Saitou and Tai, Damian is the only one not possessing any powers. And yet he's the most skilled of them all due to years of training in combat.
- Bullying the Dragon: Guiche assumes he is the "dragon" and Damian is the fool for messing with him. Unfortunately for Guiche, Damian makes it clear it's the other way around.
- Commonality Connection: Tai and Siesta bonded with one another due to both of them being born from lower-class families.
- Deadpan Snarker: Damian does this especially against Louise.Louise: Would you just stand still so I can shoot you?
Robin: Yeah and why would I do that? Stand still so you can hit me? Although seeing as how you haven't been able to hit me yet and you're going on your twentieth strike, I say you're pretty bad at it. - Familiar: The three girls respectively acquired a superhero as a familiar.
- Louise: Damian Wayne/Robin
- Princess Henrietta: Saitou/Blue Beetle
- Siesta: Tai Pham/Green Lantern
- Lady and Knight: Both Robin and Blue Beetle acts as the knights and protectors to Louise and Henrietta respectively.
- Mêlée à Trois: Robin, Green Lantern and Blue Beetle battled one another at the Familiar Exhibition. In the end, all three knocked out each other resulting in a draw.
- The Multiverse: The three heroes figures this to be the case though they do find it odd how multiple universes have interacted to this particular world they're in given the number of items and people they found.
- Point of Divergence:
- Saito would be Henrietta's familiar rather than Louise's.
- Robin would obtained Derflinger.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Robin chides Louise as a spoiled brat who is incapable in magic and blames everyone else for her problems and her recent successes is more due to Robin that her own merits.
- Seen It All: Saito's surprised how calm Damian is acting about their summoning. Damian replies that his line of work would lead him to these sort of things.
- Shout-Out: Saitou figured the summoning of familiars is like Pokémon.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: This is the nature of Robin and Louise's relationship. The two butt heads with one another though they do try to get along.
