History Fanfic / GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters

** There's no evidence that Lothar and Tynar knew each other canonically, with Lothar [[UncertainDoom seemingly dying]] (at the very least, he never shows up again) before Tynar's introduction. Here, Lothar and Tynar are close friends.

** A Heart of Earth gave Ben Shui's spirit its reincarnation cycle.

* {{Doorstopper}}: As of this writing, this story is 731,684 words long.

* EldritchAbomination: The Cavalcade of Horrors, the creatures which inhabit the lower levels of the Shadow Realm. And then there's whatever the hell lives below ''them'' at the very bottom, which they serve.

* SequelHook: The story's version of Season 1 ends with various loose threads: [[spoiler: Captain Black beginning a secret investigation into the Dark Hand's infiltration of Section 13, the Dark Hand preparing some kind of magical WMD, Nerissa and Ludmoore both plotting the next steps in their respective plans, the Cavalcade of Horrors and their Master preparing for the culmination of their own plan, and a grieving Jade leaving Earth for Meridian.]]

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Queen Weira had this among the smallfolk, who loved her for giving them more power and authority. Inversely, however, this caused many of the nobility to dislike her.

* WhipItGood: The warden at the Underwater Mines wields a spiked one with dangerously high skill, as Caleb finds to his dismay.

** Irma rather appreciates the view of Jade's developing abs she gets from the latter's [[BareYourMidriff summer hoodie]].

* BareYourMidriff: Jade's new summer outfit does this, to emphasize her developing abs. Irma approves.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority:

** Daolon Wong is ''much'' more powerful than in canon.

* UngratefulBastard: Phobos' reaction to being saved from [[spoiler: Wong's coup attempt]] is to berate his minions for allowing it to happen in the first place.

* ShoutOut:
** Jade compares Ludmoore's controlled Portal to a [[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate]].
** Yan Lin at one point says that "[[Series/GameOfThrones winter has come]]"; Hay Lin tells her she should stop watching that show.
*** Alistar Tharquin appears to be based on Alistar Thorne.
*** When some rebels are executed and Servantis gives them a chance for last words, it plays out like the Season 6 episode where Jon Snow executes some Night's Watch mutineers.
*** When [[spoiler: Harold Hale]] betrays Jackie, he pulls a Littlefinger and points out he warned Jackie not to trust him.
** After learning that Jade is [[spoiler: the new Ben Shui]], both she and Irma compare her to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang]].
** Quentin Ross is explicitly an {{Expy}} of [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]].
** When the girls are making a snowman, Jade specifically says that she's not going to call it "[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Olaf]]".
** Ross compares Wong to [[Franchise/StarWars Palpatine]].
** Jade reads ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' at one point.
** Nyx has an information contact called [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated Mr. E]].
** Several of the magic artifacts which the Dark Hand tries to steal in Chapter 17 are based on [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Shen Gong Wu]]. And when of them gives its user stretchable limbs, he says that he's like [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Mr. Fantastic]].
** [[spoiler: Caleb's Berserker Form]] is based on the [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Cursed Seal]].
** Ross' confrontation with [[spoiler: Harold]] in his office is very similar to [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague the one the Question has with Luthor]].
** Galiene's first scene is based on Grievous' introduction in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars''.
** A flashback shows that when they first met, Cornelia and Elyon bonded over a shared love of ''Anime/SailorMoon''.
** According to the author, Nerissa's StartOfDarkness chapter is heavily inspired by Matthew Stover's novelization of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.

* IgnoredEpiphany: Even when admitting Caleb has several good points about why the Rebellion's old black and white views are wrong, Aldarn refuses to let himself be swayed by them, feeling that he's done and sacrificed too much to just change his ways.

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: Aldarn votes for Ludmoore being welcomed into the Rebellion despite not trusting him because he needed an excuse to challenge Caleb (who, by contrast, voted ''against'' Ludmoore). So, it's Aldarn's own fault that the person he doesn't trust is now in the Rebellion.]]

** Nerissa's is detailed earlier as killing Yua the Banshee on a mission before learning that her actions were due to a plague that had been affecting the people of her world (Yua being the bearer of her world's Heart), which led to her losing the Heart of Kandrakar, attacking and killing Cassidy. Then, after the Mage freed her, hoping to help reform her, Nerissa repaid her by killing her and stealing her identity.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In canon, Caleb and Aldarn are close friends, which never changes. Here their friendship breaks apart due to increasingly different views on how the Rebellion should be led [[spoiler: leading to Aldarn trying to kill Caleb in a duel]].

* UncannyValley: [[invoked]] When Jade first meets Phobos, she notes that he seems the most normal out of his court, but then she looks into his eyes and finds nothing but an all-consuming void, giving her the impression that something is just ''wrong'' about him.
** Something about the way [[spoiler:Drago's]] voice sounds just feels ''wrong'' to Alborn and Miriael.

* BetterAsFriends: Irma and Martin ultimately agree on this.

* UltimateEvil: Whatever god-like entity which lives at the very bottom of the Shadow Realm, which ''terrifies'' Tarakudo.

* SpiritualAntithesis: According to the author of ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeason1'', his story was inspired by ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters''. Both stories are similar, with them both being ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''/ ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' crossovers where the characters are put in more realistic situations. However, both stories go in different directions at multiple points.
** Both stories are {{Fusion Fic}}s, but ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'' is more of a [[MergedReality literal example]] where the Book of Ages fuses the two shows' realities together, while ''J-WITCH Season 1'''s world is shown to have always been as it is.
** ''J-WITCH Season 1'' is mostly LighterAndSofter, though at some times showing dark and realistic moments. Meanwhile, ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'' is completely DarkerAndEdgier, with more dark moments as the characters deal with [[WarIsHell the horrors of war]] and [[TheseHandsHaveKilled killing]].
** In ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'', Prince Phobos was given AdaptationalVillainy, having murdered his parents, and is a selfish power-hungry tyrant, while in ''J-WITCH Season 1'' he's given AdaptationalHeroism, genuinely caring for his sister, being a KnightTemplar at worst, and was actually framed for his parents' murder.
** The nobility of Meridian had a big role in ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'', while in ''J-WITCH Season 1'' no nobility was shown, because according to the author, there is no nobility in Meridian in his story.
** Irma Lair and Jade Chan start a [[AdaptationalSexuality relationship]] in ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'', while they stay just friends in ''J-WITCH Season 1''.
** Jade gets [[AdaptationalBadass different powers]] in each story. In ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'', she [[spoiler: becomes a [[CanisMajor wolf]] Shapeshifter and gains BloodMagic]], which is fitting the overall darker tone. In ''J-WITCH Season 1'', she instead [[spoiler: becomes a [[SixthRanger sixth Guardian]]]], which is TruerToTheText.
** The ending to both stories' Season 1 storyline contrasts each other with a similar but different event that [[ForWantOfANail will fundamentally change their Season 2]]. The end of this story in ''Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters'' featured [[spoiler: the death of Phobos]] while the ended of ''J-WITCH Season 1'' has [[spoiler: the death of Cedric]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** WarIsHell is in full effect, and it's made clear that people on both sides of the fight ''have'' died.
** There are good and bad people on both sides of the fight.
** Jade encounters a soldier she attacked when sneaking into Torus Finley, and the PTSD from it, and well as injuries that weren't treated as well as she thought, have left him a shell of his former self.
** Phobos' tendencies towards being a BadBoss really come back to bite him on the ass, eventually turning ''his entire court'' against him. Even those who don't start actively plotting against him, like Lothar, end up distancing themselves from him, instead becoming as focused on protecting the civilian population from his cruelty as they are on fighting the Rebellion.
** As Servantis reveals in Chapter 13, during her reign Queen Weira did something unheard of -- she gave some commoners, some village chiefs and mayors, rule over the others. It wasn't an overly complicated idea; just give the commoners an authority of their own in order to make them feel empowered and take some responsibilities from the nobles, an intermediary between them and the smallfolk. Servantis even admits that it wasn't that bad an idea in principle, but then goes on to explain that suddenly being given all that power corrupted some of the selected leaders, leading to them staging a small revolution and killing some nobles before being put down. Afterwards, the smallfolk blamed the nobles just for defending themselves, which only heightened tensions more.
** After fleeing from her calling out, Elyon has to stop several times on her way back to the capital, both from the simple fact that she only recently developed her flying abilities and has some trouble maintaining control, as well as having only a vague idea of where she has to go.
** [[spoiler: Phobos agrees to let Elyon see her imprisoned adoptive parents in part because he's confident that he can just put a spell on them so they say whatever he wants them to.]]
** While her initial reaction is to cling to denial and flee, having time to think about [[spoiler: Alchemy]] and the others said about her selfishness and Phobos' evil means that it actually starts to get through to her.

%%* MayDecemberRomance: Cedric and Miranda are definitely close.%%Meaning what?
%%* TheMedic: Sephiria and her nuns serve as this for the Rebellion.%%As what? How?

* FreudianExcuse: Aldarn's mother was killed by Phobos' forces, as were all of his closest friends aside from Caleb. Because of this, he has an IrrationalHatred not just for Phobos and his minions, but everyone who supports them even remotely. This is why he can't abide Caleb's choice to ally with those nobles who are opposed to Phobos but haven't outright rebelled against him.

* MayDecemberRomance: Cedric and Miranda are definitely close.
* TheMedic: Sephiria and her nuns serve as this for the Rebellion.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the new MergedReality, Uncle and Yan Lin are cousins.
