Starting in late 2022, Jade Armor (L'armure de Jade in France) is a French superhero show made by TeamTO based on Chinese mythology and legends, featuring a young teenage heroine who uses the powers of the elements of nature to save her town of Ban Tang from the villainous Crimson Lord and his armor's Shards from utter chaos.On her birthday, young Lan Jun Ye finds herself on a clocktower between the clock's hands, with four animals (a baby tiger, a dragon, a bird and a turtle) joining her and explaining that she's meant to be the new Jade, defender of her hometown, and that they're her Beasticons, magic creatures from the stories she heard as a child. Right as she falls down, she wakes up in her room believing the whole thing is a dream... only to meet those animals again and discover she now has to wear the Jade Armor and purify the city from red shards of the Crimson Lord's (the previous Jade's nemesis) own mystical armor.The show consists of 26 episodes of 26 minutes and takes heavy inspiration from Miraculous Ladybug, another French show about a teenage superhero girl who uses the power of magic animal creatures to protect her hometown and juggle daily life and superheroing. It's airing on Okoo and most episodes can be found in English on ABC iView. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Jade Armor / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: Zuchue is a repeating offender of this trope. First, she sarcastically suggests to the other Beasticons in the second episode telling Lan Jun that her mom is the previous Jade, right as Lan Jun enters her bedroom and hears her say it aloud. The exact same setup happens at the end of the show, as Lan Jun overhears Zuchue explain that she was chosen to be Jade purely because the Beasticons were out of option. Lan Jun's reaction both times is different. | |

Limited Wardrobe: The characters rarely change their street clothes usually wearing the same thing in every instance. While Lan Yun has the most outfits out of everyone, those being her pajamas, her training clothes, her street clothes and of course the Jade Armor, she is hardly ever seen wearing anything other than one of those 4 outfits. | |

| Jade Armor / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: The Shards often have this effect. Special mention to the one hidden inside a light projector in episode 11, that can turn even the stiffest of actors into a talented performer (as shown by Pearl instantly mastering a martial art technique that took Lan Jun months to perfect, or Chenwu going from a cacophonic singer to a melodious one). Lan Jun is so impressed she considers waiting until the play is over to purify the shard. | |

Shapeshifter Default Form | |
| Jade Armor / int_39688852 | comment |
Shapeshifter Default Form: The Beasticons have "regular animal" forms they use while around Lan Jun and "mythical creature" forms once Lan Jun becomes Jade. Xinyan doesn't seem to have such a thing thanks to being powered by a Shard he stole from Crimson Lord's armor, meaning he's almost always powered up until the finale where he temporarily returns to being a regular monkey. | |

Then Let Me Be Evil: Subverted with Kai. He doesn't want to be like his ancestor... but upon being suggested the possibility that the Jades have been misinterpreting Crimson Lord's actions as falsely evil, he openly helps him against her, believing CL to be a kindred misunderstood soul as he can relate with his father's abuse of him. | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Jade Armor / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: The Beasticons go as follows: Chinlon, the water dragon, has water and ice powers. Chenwu, the air tortoise, has power over wind currents and wind-based attacks. Baihu, the terra tiger, can control the earth and cause earthquakes. Zuchue, the firebird, can make fire waves and little projecting sparks (that Jade can use to propel herself to higher places). Xinyan, the wood monkey, can make bamboo trees grow and affect vegetation among other things. Pi Xiu (remaining unseen), the winged lion, can create make metal bars and manipulate metal. Tiangou (remaining unseen), the celestial dog can control lightning. Jiu Wei Hu (remaining unseen but mentioned), the nine-tailed fox, can create psychic waves that can block attacks and levitate things. | |

In episode 10, Xinyan makes use of a shard to make himself bigger and try and take over Ban Tang. Upon realizing that becoming giant is actually more of a curse than a blessing, he harshly regrets his decision, to the point even Alisha starts to feel for him. | |

Love Across Battlelines: One of the previous Jades in history apparently had a mutual (albeit complicated) relationship with the Crimson Lord (though whether it's the current one or a previous version isn't elaborated on). Lan Jun quickly draws parallels with no other than her school crush Kai Zhu, the descendant of the Crimson bloodline that Crimson Lord belongs to. | |

Secret-Keeper | |
| Jade Armor / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret-Keeper: Lan Jun's family for her mom, quite to her frustration. Theo and Alisha later do the same with her as the new Jade. Both Lan Jun and Pearl keep their identities as Blue Lynx and Jade secret, even after making it apparent to each other that they know who the other is. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Jade Armor / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Downplayed. While Crimson Armor always loses his body returning to his fluid form at the end of the episode, progression still happens and events from past episodes are mentioned from time to time, usually either by something happening or a character learning some sort of new information that is picked up again in a later episode. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| Jade Armor / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Zig-zagged with many people in the cast. Lan Jun has purple eyes (orange eyes as Jade) and is quite nice, Kai has orange eyes that become red when the Crimson Lord is making him do evil, and anyone gets red eyes when under the influence of a Shard. However, as the shard's effects are usually unpredictable, getting red eyes only means the victim is affected by it rather than outright meaning they've become hostile. Played straight with the Crimson Lord, albeit eventually subverted once the rest of his body becomes blue-green as he surrenders in the last episode. His eyes are still red, but he's no longer a threat. | |

No-Sell: Jade and Blue Lynx's attempts to attack each other in episode 20. Due to their friendship bracelets made with a Shard-infected spool of thread, it prevents them from harming each other until the threads are broken. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Jade Armor / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: In episode 14, Lan Jun and Kai use a skeleton key powered by a shard to open all their schools' locks. Unfortunately, the key responds to whatever the users expect or want to appear, even subconsciously. Which leads not only Lan Jun to face her mother, but Kai to face his abusive father and be vulnerable to Crimson Lord's manipulations. In episode 10, Xinyan makes use of a shard to make himself bigger and try and take over Ban Tang. Upon realizing that becoming giant is actually more of a curse than a blessing, he harshly regrets his decision, to the point even Alisha starts to feel for him. | |

Hypno Trinket | |
| Jade Armor / int_b8499e1c | comment |
Hypno Trinket: A harmless variant. A number of shard-infused objects have the power to make others obey the one using them. For example, in episode 20, Pearl makes friendship bracelets with a Shard-infected thread, which turn her and Lan Jun into 'besties' once they wear it, finding themselves many things in common and bonding whilst having them. Their other friends' annoyance with this friendship make them cut the threads, bringing both girls back to normal once they're broken. | |

By the Power of Grayskull!: "Beasticons, Bond! Elements of all that's made, be my armor! Make me Jade!" is what Lan Jun has to say to become Jade. Crimson Lord says "Shard of Power, Reunite! Rise my armor for the fight!" whenever he gets his hand on a Shard. | |

Jade-Colored Glasses | |
| Jade Armor / int_c2e2a445 | comment |
Jade-Colored Glasses: Inverted quite literally. Jade gets rose-colored glasses that, due to a shard, make her unable to see anything wrong in the world, even assuming she could just become friends with the Crimson Lord instead of needlessly fighting. | |

Cliffhanger | |
| Jade Armor / int_c6b8d37a | comment |
Cliffhanger: Lan Jun in the finale is relieved after finally completing her quest. Zuchue worries about getting bored without shards to purify, before Chinlon points out that things may not be over while the town begins to sparkle. Lan Jun reassures them those are just fireflies... but their silence makes her doubt that statement as she begins staring as well. The season ends there. | |

Damned by Faint Praise | |
| Jade Armor / int_cbe3d017 | comment |
Damned by Faint Praise: Crimson Lord gets hit by this hard in episode 23. Jade is absolutely willing to let bygones be bygones and assume that her predecessors were wrong to try and stop him, thanks to her Shard-tinted sunglasses making her see everything through rose-tinted glasses. She's even about to give him more shards to bring him back to full power. The moment he calls the previous Jade, AKA Lan Jun's mother, selfish and egotistical, she realizes it doesn't add up and purifies the shard inside her glasses, realizing that she wasn't thinking rationally during the whole episode because of them. | |

Sympathy for the Devil | |
| Jade Armor / int_d3a4af1e | comment |
Sympathy for the Devil: Jade feels this way towards Crimson Lord at times (and Xinyan a lot more often), even having a dream implying she wishes they weren't enemies and could just hang out as casually as she does with her Beasticons and friends. As stated by the news' narration in the finale, her sympathy for her enemies actually proves to be a strength, as she can often not only reason with some of them against a problem in common, or end the entire conflict without causing harm to anyone. | |

Expy: Lan Jun and Kai are ones for Ladybug and Cat Noir. Lan Jun has many similarities with Marinette (downright to merging with the Beasticons to transform as Marinette unifies Kwamis to use their powers) and Kai himself is the son of a rich yet corrupt family, to the point of even being related to the main villain. Her friends Alisha and Theo also take some cues from Alya and Nino. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: The memory-erasing shard in episode 8 does this, whether by entering in direct contact with someone or by infecting the town's water. Thankfully, the Beasticons were able to jog Jade's memories enough to get her back into battling Black Tiger. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter: The Beasticons. Exploited and defied in episode 7, as Lan Jun asks all the Beasticons to look their cutest in a picture (including Chenwu) so that Alisha forgives her for leaving her and Theo hanging. Aside from getting Lan Jun in trouble for sharing that picture in class, the baby eyes and huge smiles had no effect whatsoever on Alisha. | |
