Racism

Racism is a recurring theme in Cyberkidz. Despite the show's attempt to create a diverse group of kids there are elements of casual 90s racism sprinkled throughout.

Reoccurring elements

 * As the only Asian main character, Zak is only ever seen either training in a dojo or playing at an arcade when not in Cyberland.
 * Because the writers need to remind you that Zak is Asian he occasionally exclaims "Great Confucius".

Episode 1

 * Zak's introduction is him having to fight bullies who attack him at the arcade with everyone using martial arts skills.
 * Ian is the only child to not have any sort of introduction playing the game like the other kids do; he first appears in the Neutral Zone alongside the others.
 * During their first encounter with the Zyloids, Ian transforms into a gorilla to murder them
