''Exchange Student Zero'' is an [[UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} Australian]] television film on CartoonNetwork that premiered on 16 December 2012. It is the first animated Australian made production to be commissioned by the Cartoon Network.
John and Max are two school friends, obsessed with a fantasy card game called Battle Day Zero, who inadvertently bring one of the game’s characters, Hiro, to life. Hiro is passed off for an exchange student at school and so his peculiarities are somewhat overlooked while John and Max figure out how to get him home. That is until the game that brought Hiro pours even more exotic creatures into the sleepy little Perth town. Life will never be the same, but then as John and Max discover, it is far more exciting this way.

** MagicalGirl: [[WordSaladTitle Happy Peach Flower]] and her friends.
** YouGottahaveBlueHair
* [[JerkJock Jerk]][=/=]DumbJock: Denmead. And he's probably one of the most exaggerated examples, ever.
* LandDownUnder: Averted. The setting (as the name of the school tells) is in the city of Perth. Justified, since this movie is made in Australia.
* LoveHurts: Charity and Max fall in love with Hiro and Happy Peach Flower respectively, and when they left, it had some pretty hard repercussions. The principal as well with Avere.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: The principal who falls in love with Avere. He tries to bring her back by summoning various monsters from the cards until he can find her again.
* {{Stripperific}}: Avera. Even her wedding dress when [[spoiler: she was about to marry Hiro]].
* NamesTheSame: When Hiro arrived for the first time in school, he was simply passed on as the Japanese exchange student the school was expecting. But the real exchange student they were supposed to welcome was a guy named Hiro Tanaga.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Invoked.
* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: The battle now done, Hiro and Happy Peach Flower must leave their world so everything will be at peace. [[spoiler: But since the principal and his son and Denmead are also transported into the world of Battle Day Zero when everything was going back, the number of cards with the characters in them are complete and them as the remaining two, are now allowed to stay.]]
* WeirdnessCensor: From how the people [[DullSurprise simply just stood there in shock or pure confusion]], probably none of them would be scarred for life.
