History Anime / MarvelDiskWarsTheAvengers

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Noriko Ashida aka Surge. This time, blue ''is'' her natural hair color.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Joel, who acts like a stereotypical RockStar. He also sat back and watched with a gleeful grin as Abomination stalked and quite possibly killed a SHIELD agent meant to watch over Chris.

** The [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Guardians]] show up in episode 24.

** The kids wielding Captain America and the Hulk's Disks are named Chris and Ed as a nod to Creator/ChrisEvans and Creator/EdwardNorton, the actors who played Cap and Hulk in the three [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier America]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar movies]] and ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', respectively.

* AdaptationalVillainy: This version of Loki is Far Worse than His Canon Comic Book Counterpart.

* BackForTheFinale: Spider-Man, Giant Man, Blade and the Guardians of the Galaxy all come back to help out the Avengers during the series finale.

* BookEnds : The anime begins with Hikaru at school, it ends with him once again at school but this time gets a call from Iron man telling him he needs his help.

-->Iron Man: "It's party time!"
-->Thor: "In the name of Mjolnir!"
-->Captain America: "Soldiers! March on without fear!"
-->Hulk: "SMASH!!" (or he just roars).
-->Wasp: "Together! We will shoot down evil!"

[[SpiritualSuccessor Though otherwise not related]], July 22, 2017, saw the premiere of a new Marvel anime collaboration, called ''Anime/MarvelFutureAvengers'', that once again features the Avengers (same line-up as Disk Wars) teaming up with young, heroic teenagers who are the viewpoint protagonists, this time as mentors and with the teens having powers of their own. The series currently airs on Japanese satellite channel [=DLife=] and will debut in the US, dubbed, on Creator/DisneyPlus on February 28, 2020.

Loki quickly crashes the party and manages to get the upper hand when he takes Pepper Potts hostage. He promptly steals the disks for himself and imprisons almost all of the heroes present, hoping to use the Disk technology to force them to work for him. However, to command the disks, one has to have a "bio code" installed in them, and an odd chain of events leads to Akira and the others receiving the bio codes instead of Loki. Now, with Spider-Man being one the few superheroes left completely free and Iron Man only able to function with Akira's help, its up to the kids to find the rest of the heroes in the world until they can be freed.

* AdaptedOut: besides the Avengers, most of Marvels well known heroes and villains are present in the series at some point. The ComicBook/FantasticFour however, also one of Marvels A-list superhero teams, are surprisingly absent (potentially due to rights issues), as well as their most well known adversary Dr. Doom.
* AdaptationalVillainy: This Version of Loki is Far Worse then His Canon Comic Book Counterpart.
* AgeLift: Tony Stark looks a bit younger then in most adaptations (at least, in adaptations where he ''isn't'' [[WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures supposed to be a teenager]]). For example, his facial hair is limited to a tuft on his chin. This was probably done to make him not appear so much older than the Shounen Hero lead, Akira.

* BookEnds : The anime begins with Hikaru at school,it ends with him once again at school but this time gets a call from Iron man telling him he needs his help.

* CallingYourAttacks: Used here, with such notable examples being Wasp's "Wasp Sting" and Cyclops' "Optic Blast!" Though there are some more forced ones, with Cap's just yelling "Shield Throw". There are several aversions as well, Magneto, Blade and the Guardians of the Galaxy just to name a few.

* DescriptionCut: Used in a dramatic fashion in the second episode, when Captain America defiantly states that those who "believe in justice" and "walk the path of righteousness" will stand against Loki...while cutting to Chris, who is alone and on the verge of walking away from the effort to help save the heroes.

* FantasticRacism: Mutants are once again hated and feared, but the kids just don't get why they get all of the hate while people like Thor, Wasp, Iron Man and Spider-Man wander around and are considered heroes.
* FriendToAllChildren: Wasp makes a suggestion to Hulk that she thinks might make him more approachable to kids. Hulk actually is keen on the idea until Wasp herself spelled it out for him that she was just kidding.

* FiveManBand: The "Celebrity Five", the masked minions who work for Loki. Each of them serve as an EvilCounterpart to the kids, and specialize in summoning a specific class of villain. They also all have day jobs that their work as evildoers conflicts with.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: Hikaru]] receives several shots or cold openings that makes it look like they are betraying the team. Guess what happens in Episode 32...
* FunWithAcronyms: According to Tony in the first episode, "[=DISK=]" is actually an abbreviation for "Digital Identity Securement Kit".

* GratuitousEnglish: There's quiet a bit of it in this series. For example, Tony Stark, as voiced by Hanawa Eiji, gratuitously uttered "ladies and gentlemen!" in the 1st episode. All examples of CallingYourAttacks are an example of this.

* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Chris has a pair of big ol' headphones around his neck to go with his skull-and-crossbones nit cap to help reinforce his aloof nature.

* IDieFree: Even with his HealingFactor surpressed and badly wounded by Baron Zemo, Deadpool refuses to go into a [=DISK=], saying he would rather die free.

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Red Skull uses Hikaru as a hostage to force Thor to fight the other Avengers. Ten episodes later, Baron Blood takes control of Chris, Ed, Hikaru and Jessica, convincing them to attack Blade.

** One of Loki's minions, Tim Gillian, is a SHIELD scientist aboard the Hellicarrier, and is thus able to keep Fury and the rest of SHIELD from intervening to stop Loki's plans in the second episode. Later, Red Skull turns out to have a Mole inside SHIELD as well (hench why he knew about Hawkeye and Falcon's plan to rescue an abducted scientist), but his/her identity is not revealed.
** The seemingly benign reporter Rosetta Riley is actually a member of Loki's gang.
* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler:Senator Robert of the World Security Council takes over SHIELD and arrests Nick Fury on the grounds of collaborating with the villains, but Robert is actually Loki in disguise.]]

** One of the things Loki tell a brainwashed Hulk is that his friends plan to [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk send him to a desolate planet]].

* OptOut: [[spoiler:Chris does this in episode 19. He leaves the group on account of his relationship with Captain America not going the way he wants it to.[[note]]He wants nothing less than to be seen and treated as Cap's equal and has anxiety issues over how Cap sees him in relation to and with regards with his former protegee, Bucky.[[/note]] The others try to stop him and call him out on his selfish decision, but it doesn't stick and he leaves anyway. [[ForegoneConclusion Of course]], it ends up to be a TenMinuteRetirement.]]
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The "Celebrity Five", the masked minions who work for Loki. Each of them serve as an EvilCounterpart to the kids, and specialize in summoning a specific class of villain. They also all have day jobs that their work as evildoers conflicts with.

* WhatTheHellHero: Tony Stark got called out twice in the first episode for holding a party to announce his creation to the world and for doing it on an island ''full of captured supervillains''. Both are later justified by the plot, in that the [=DISK=]s are specifically designed to imprison supervillains [[spoiler: and that he threw a party in order to show the fruits of his and Akira and Hikaru's father's work to his sons]].
** This is, obviously, lampshaded by Pepper when she sardonically tells Tony off for holding the presentation at a prison.
** Happens in episode 19, when Noriko calls Hikaru out on revealing her status as a mutant after he said he wouldn't. Of course, he didn't and she was actually caught on camera by Stark International's cameras.

* EvilVsEvil: Silver Samurai and Mandarin vs Loki during the final episode, both since they won't allow anyone other than themselves to defeat Iron Man.

** Taken further by the fact Jessica and Wasp are partners.

** Also seen among the villains, where Rosetta Riley is the only female member of the Celebrity Five.

* SpoiledSweet: Jessica is noted to be from a rich family, yet she is quick to strike up friendly conversations with the aloof Chris and shy and introverted Ed. This verges on becoming a SubvertedTrope when she reveals that she was only helping everyone out out of a sense of "noblesse oblige", but she was actually nervous about letting others become her friend.

** Also, Every single hero's name is not translated at all.

* BookEnds : The anime begins with Hikaru at school,it ends with Hikaru once again at school but this time gets a call from Iron man telling him he needs his help.

** The kids wielding Captain America and the Hulk's Disks are named Chris and Ed as a nod to Creator/ChrisEvans and Creator/EdwardNorton, the actors who played Cap and Hulk in the two [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier America]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar movies]] and ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', respectively.

* UnexpectedCharacter:
** The show contains quite some longtime Marvel mainstays like Comicbook/WarMachine, Comicbook/{{Venom}}, and the [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]], but also contains some truly obscure choices like Diamondback, Cottonmouth and Bi-Beast.
** Pepper Potts turns out to be fairly important as the kids' "handler" as well. Likewise, Agent Coulson appears in the first episode as a SHIELD tour guide.
** Noriko Ashida, aka "Surge", one of the [[ComicBook/NewMutants newer members]] of the X-Men, later shows up after the group moves to Japan. Much like the use of Armor in the [[Anime/XMen X-Men anime]], she was probably chosen because the character herself is Japanese.
** The Guardians of the Galaxy appearing might be a mixed bag of unexpectedness among viewers especially considering that their [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy movie]] just came out. However Fin Fang Foom appearing in the same episode as them is completely unexpected.
