The Animated Adaptation of the Double Dragon video game series. It lasted for 26 episodes, running from 1993 to 1994.Billy and Jimmy Lee are twin brothers who were separated at birth and raised by opposing factions. Billy is raised in the Dragon Dojo by the Eldest Dragon, who trains him in the ways of the Code of the Dragon. The Code's main precepts are not to harm others intentionally and not fight if he can help it. When the Eldest Dragon is gone, Billy becomes the new Dragon Master at the age of 18. Joining forces with policewoman Marian Martin, Billy fights to protect the city from the Shadow Warriors, a criminal organization initially led by the mysterious Shadow Boss, who is revealed to be none other than his long lost twin brother Jimmy. Initially the two brothers oppose each other, but when Jimmy is betrayed by his own men, he abandon his evil ways and join forces to fight the true leader of the Shadow Warriors himself, the Shadow Master, who wishes to engulf the world with the power of the black flame.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first episode makes a fair adaptation of the first game (at least the NES version, which had Jimmy as the final boss and Willy as his henchman), but the series deviates from Episode 2 and onward. However, a tie-in video game titled Double Dragon V The Shadow Falls was produced by the franchise's U.S. license holder at the time Tradewest, released in late 1994 on the Super NES, Genesis and Jaguar.

And Knowing Is Half the Battle - Every episode, except for the pilot, ended with a public service announcement featuring the heroes teaching some kind of moral to kids, as was standard with most animated shows at the time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Adaptation Dye-Job: The Lee brothers are given the different hair colors and hair styles they had in Super Double Dragon (which in turn were based on the designs they had in the NES versions of the original trilogy), but Billy's hair is colored black like on the game's American boxart instead of the reddish brown hair he has in-game and Japanese promo art, which ends up making him look like a poor man's Kenshiro with the ensemble he's given. A coloring mistake in the episode "The Price of Oblivion" ended up inadvertently giving the Lee brothers their arcade colors for one scene, with the dark-haired brother (Billy in this case) being given a red outfit, while the blond-haired brother (Jimmy) being given the blue outfit.
