History WesternAnimation / MonSuno

* OddlySmallOrganization: Not counting the mercenaries like Darkspin and Dom Pyro it employs, Eklipse seems to be made up only of Dr. Klipse and Hargrave.

*** The season premiere of ''Combat Chaos'' introduces a new enemy faction and [[spoiler:kills off Quickforce]].

->'''Jinja:''' Beyal, I think Bren needs some air in the next car.
->'''Beyal:''' Why? There is plenty of air in this one.

* HeroicBSOD: Beyal in episode 17, though the following episode reveals it was more than just losing his powers...

* MasterActor: Drezz when he first appears.

Season 2, known as '''''Monsuno: Combat Chaos''''', will primeire April 21, 2013 on Nicktoons network.

* ColourCodedArmies: So far, the Monsunos have a main color scheme to show who they were manufactured by: blue by Jeredy Suno/Core-Tech, yellow by S.T.O.R.M., and red by Eklipse. Wild Monsunos are colored green. All the protagonists wear blue (aside from [[spoiler: Jon Ace, both in-monster and out]]), all the villains wear predominantly red outfits and S.T.O.R.M. wears black and yellow (Though justified for S.T.O.R.M. as it's uniform). Even their Monsuno are color-coded.

* DisappearedDad: As well as a MissingMom, mentioned below, Chase has his father vanish for a complete set. [[spoiler:Two thirds of the way through season one, we learn that Chase's Mom may still be alive.]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD: Beyal in episode 17, though the following episode reveals it was more than just losing his powers...]]

* OnlyOneName[=/=]OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Only a hand full of characters in this show have both a first ''and'' a last name. Most only have a first name or a Title and a last name known, and some [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only go by by their nickname]].

* TheStoic: Beyal. [[spoiler:Even a HeroicBSOD doesn't make him display much more emotion.]]

** And then the very next episode, we have "Life" as a Wham Episode. [[spoiler: It reveals the Monsuno essence has been building up, burrowing to the core, and if they don't do something, [[EarthShatteringKaboom the planet will cease to exist and that this wouldn't be the first planet it happened to]]. And then there's the Stinger ''that confirms Jon Ace is still alive,'' '''but morphed into a horrific Monsuno.''']]

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: All Monsunos permanently have these.

* TrueCompanions: Team Core-Tech by season one's end. Chase acknowledges as such.

* ParentalAbandonment: The Core-Tech kids as a whole to different extents. The majority of season one is spent trying to find Chase's dad Dr. Suno and along the way we learn [[spoiler:that his mom may still be alive]]. Bren and Jinja's parents may or may not have gotten a passing mention throughout the season, but other than that, nothing. [[FridgeLogic Which makes you wonder how they could up and leave them to look for Dr. Suno with Chase or if they even have any]]. Beyal is out right stated to be an orphan and he and Master Ey are the last of the true monks of the Library of Tebab, the rest of whom were killed by the treacherous Bookman. Dax's past is shrouded in mystery, which is the way he likes to keep it as Jinja finds out after a bit to much prying, though its implied that he too is an orphan.

* OnlyOneName[=/=]OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Only a hand full of characters in this show have both a first and last name. Most only have a first name or a Title and a last name know, and some [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only go by by their nickname]].

* {{Mons}}: Debatably a {{Deconstruction}}, as the series shows how dangerous a world where people can summon animals of mass-destruction as their pets would be; Monsuno are exploited by both S..T.O.R.M. and Klipse as weapons, treated violently, and the protagonists are hunted like criminals. And the case of One-Eyed Jack shows that Monsuno can and will occasionally harm and mutilate humans.

* DisappearedDad: As well as a MissingMom, mentioned below, Chase has his father vanish for a complete set. [[spoiler:A third of the way through season one, we learn that Chase's Mom may still be alive.]]

* ExposedToTheElements: {{Inverted}} when Beyal continues to wear his heavy robe when at the hot and sunny beach and {{Averted}} when the kids make their return trip to the snowy Mandala mountain range. Played straighter with Medea and her [[BareYourMidriff exposed mid-riff]].

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Dom Pyro is smart enough to take Dax by surprise and shock him before he launches his Monsuno when they first meet him. He doesn't do the same with the others, but for most part, it just serves to show he doesn't really need to.

!!Tropes in this series

[[PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs 65 Million years ago]], a [[GreenRocks meteor]] crashed to Earth [[{{Panspermia}} loaded with alien DNA]]. Sometime in the future, Core-Tech scientist Jeredy Suno uses this DNA and combines that of several Earth animals with it, creating the [[{{Mons}} Monsuno]]. After going missing, his son, Chase Suno, embarks on a journey to find him, along with his friends Jinja and Bren. In the process, they come across Monsunos of their own, along with two separate factions aiming to control the Monsunos for their own purposes: [[KnightTemplar S.T.O.R.M.]], the [[FunWithAcronyms Strategic and Tactical Operations for Recovery of Monsuno]], a ultra-secret GovernmentAgencyOfFiction which wants to control all Monsuno activity on Earth and [[TheSyndicate Eklipse]], a criminal organization lead by [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Dr. Emmanual Klipse]], a megalomaniac ex-scientist ally of Dr. Suno who wants to wipe out humanity and replace it with a New World Order run by Monsunos.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Charlemagne and Dr. Klipse are the leaders of the antagonistic factions (S.T.O.R.M and Eklipse respectively). Both of their Monsuno are powerful enough to have defeated all protagonists' at the same time.

The show details the gang's efforts to find the missing Dr. Suno while avoiding the efforts of both groups.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Charlemagne and Dr. Klipse are the leaders of the antagonistics factions (S.T.O.R.M and Eklipse respectively). Both of their Monsuno are powerful enough to have defeated all protagonists' at the same time.

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: Jon Ace in episode 13.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: Jinja comes across as this, especially to Bren and Dax whom she shows more of her dere-dere side to later on.

* UnusualEuphemism: Chase and some other characters seem to like using "crag" as a general-purpose curse word.

* NoNameGiven[[=/=]]EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Dawn Master.

* OnlyOneName[[=/=]]OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Only a hand full of characters in this show have both a first and last name. Most only have a first name or a Title and a last name know, and some [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only go by by their nickname]].

* GenreSavvy: Jinja. When receiving a call on their computer, she makes sure it goes to message (otherwise it could be traced). And also wanted to make sure the call was legit before doing anything else. Of course, she was right to be this cautious as turned out to be a trap.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Dom Pyro is smart enough to take Dax by surprise and shock him before he launch his Monsuno when they first meet him. He doesn't do the same with the others, but for most it just serves to show he doesn't really need to.
** [[spoiler:Even more impressive in his second appearance, where he shocks them all unconcious ''before'' the fight begins, leaving only their Monsuno without anyone to give them orders, then just distract them long enough to force them to return to their cores.]]

After going missing his son, Chase Suno, embarks on a journey to find him, along with his friends Jinja and Bren. In the process, they come across Monsunos of their own, along with two separate factions aiming to control the Monsunos for their own purposes: [[KnightTemplar STORM]], the [[FunWithAcronyms Strategic and Tactical Operations for Recovery of Monsuno]], a ultra-secret GovernmentAgencyOfFiction which wants to control all Monsuno activity on Earth and [[TheSyndicate Eklipse]], a criminal organization lead by [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Dr. Emmanual Klipse]], a megalomaniac ex-scientist ally of Dr. Suno who wants to wipe out humanity and replace it with a New World Order run by Monsunos.

* AntiVillain: S.T.O.R.M is a Type III, though they tend to act a bit hypocritical; Jon Ace, on the other hand, is a Type IV.

* TheBaroness: Charlemagne, the STORM leader. A rare example where she is one of the BigBad{{s}}.

* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: STORM has an "S" logo they put on most of their equipment.

* ColourCodedArmies: So far, the Monsunos have a main color scheme to show who they were manufactured by: blue by Jeredy Suno/Core-Tech, yellow by S.T.O.R.M, and red by Eklipse. Wild Monsunos are colored green. All the protagonists wear blue (aside from [[spoiler: Jon Ace, both in-monster and out]]), all the villains wear predominantly red outfits and S.T.O.R.M. wears black and yellow (Though justified for S.T.O.R.M as it's uniform). Even their Monsuno are color-coded.

* IKnowMortalKombat: Bren's reason for taking control of STORM's aircraft in episode 22 was his experience with his flight simulation game.

* {{Mons}}: Debatably a {{Deconstruction}}, as the series shows how dangerous a world where people can summon animals of mass-destruction as their pets would be; Monsuno are exploited by both STORM and Klipse as weapons, treated violently, and the protagonists are hunted like criminals. And the case of One-Eyed Jack shows that Monsuno can and will occasionally harm and mutilate humans.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Jon Ace borders on this, as he sympathizes with the Monsunos, helps Chase and his friends at risk to himself, and likes to think of himself as being on the "right side". Despite this, Jon hasn't left his faction, and was forced to follow orders to fight Chase. [[spoiler: He leaves STORM in episode 11 and joins the heroes in the next episode, but is killed in episode 13...only to later find out that he was mutated into a human/Monsuno hybrid monster.]]

* SequelHook: Not everything is wrapped up with season one's end. [[spoiler: Chase may have reunited with his dad, but his mom is still unaccounted for. Jon Ace is still a monster, S.T.O.R.M and Eklipse are still out there, and the Monsuno essence will still eventually [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy the Earth]]. Plus, we've only just begun getting into Mr. Droog's {{revenge}}, and Chase not activating the failsafe devices and destroying the Monsuno essence in the planet may have made him a new enemy. And Monsuno fusion!]]

* [[spoiler:SixthRangerTraitor: Subverted with Dax; he apparently betrays the group to STORM for Monsuno essences... all according to a plan pulled out by Chase and him. Once they got what they wanted, he cuts contact with Charlemagne.]]

* WhamLine: Not actually a line, and it's very subtle, but when looking at the tablets of the 'Five Tribes', [[spoiler: there are S.T.O.R.M and Eklipse symbols on their carvings]]. However, these tablets are ''at least 20,000 years old.''

* WhatTheHellHero: Under orders from his father, [[spoiler: Chase is forced to destroy the Well of Pure Life, the source of most Monsuno essence from 65 million years ago, to prevent S.T.O.R.M and Eklipse from using it for evil.]] And though Beyal is deep in HeroicBSOD, his words to Chase certainly have this feel.

--->'''Chase:''' S.T.O.R.M and Eklipse would have only used it to destroy us. It's better that nobody has it.

* AntiVillain: STORM is a Type III, though they tend to act a bit hypocritical; Jon Ace, on the other hand, is a Type IV.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Charlemagne and Dr. Klipse are the leaders of the antagonistics factions (STORM and Klipse respectively). Both of their Monsuno are powerful enough to have defeated all protagonists' at the same time.

* TokenReligiusTeammate: Beyal. Being a monk will make you that.
