** ColourBlindCasting is in effect with gods who should be related being played by actors of differing ethnicities.



* '''Inverted''': Daimyo Raiden looks very out of place as a muscular nordic man as a [[BlackVikings general in Imperial Japanese army]]. He is later revealed to be the god Thor. His appearance matches the usual depiction but caused him to look massively out of place because of it.

* '''Parodied''': ???The god Thor appears as a hispanic girl with tribal tattoos and an electric katana. When a mythology buff asks her what's going on, she claims, in complete seriousness, to be trying to appeal to a wider demographic.

'''Basic Trope''': A deity or other mythological figure has an appearance differing from their usual depiction.
* '''Straight''': Thor is a character in the work, but instead of being a large muscular man, Thor is portrayed as a short Asian woman.
* '''Exaggerated''': The work is a FantasyKitchenSink consisting of lots of different mythological figures, and they all differ from how they're typically portrayed.
* '''Downplayed''':
** A character in the work is Anubis. Rather than being a man with a jackal's head, Anubis is portrayed as more of a FunnyAnimal jackal.
** Thor is still a tall muscular man, but has a minor AdaptationDyeJob that gives him darker hair.
