* AssumedWin: The Wasabi Warriors once entered a dance contest. When the winner of individual category was to be announced, an arrogant cheater was readying himself to accept it. Then one of the warriors was announced the winner.
* BerserkButton: Apparently, implying/saying Kim is a DumbBlonde is NOT a good idea. She was ready to hurt Milton (who was pretending to be Jerry as part of a plan) when he said "Forgot I was talking to a ''blonde''."
* BigBad: Sensei Ty, but Frank is TheHeavy.
* {{Blackmail}}: In one episode, the bully Truman blackmails Eddie into pranking the other dojo members. Once the gang finds out, they [[LetsGetDangerous go all out]] to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turn the tables]] on Truman.
* BlackSheep: Kai is this, according to Jack.
* BlackWidow: Bobby Wasabi almost married one.
* TheCastShowoff: Both Creator/LeoHoward and Creator/OliviaHolt are black belts in Karate. Leo takes this UpToEleven, as he does all his own stunts.
** Mateo Arias is also a very talented dancer.
* {{Catchphrase}}: The whole team has "Wasabi!", Jerry has "Wooooh!", and Milton has "Holy Christmas nuts!"
** And to a lesser extent, whenever Jack catches a punch in his palm, he'll say some variation of "You probably ''shouldn't'' have done that".
* {{Crossover}}: [[AlliterativeName Dale Davis]], a recurring character from ''ZekeAndLuther'', once interviewed Kim and Milton about a beach at the mall.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The Black Dragons--Their uniforms are mainly red and black.
* TheMall: Nearly all scenes take place there or at the school. Note that in RealLife a karate dojo doesn't rely on impulse traffic and thus has little need for a prime retail location, so the presence of one is a sign the [[DyingTown mall is going downhill]].
