Revival title of Xiaolin Showdown that premiered in August of 2013. Unlike the WB produced predecessor, this series is a collaboration from American and French companies, ActionFliks Media Corp and Genao Productions and aired on Disney XD.At the Xiaolin Temple, four teenagers (well, three and one child) – Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay – are chosen to become the next Xiaolin Dragons. In addition to their martial arts training and other monk duties, the team is tasked with finding the mystical artifacts known as Shen Gong Wu. Created by Grand Master Dashi, the temple’s original founder, these artifacts balance the forces of good and evil.Upon reaching the rank of Shoku Warriors, the monks are joined by a new member, Ping Pong – the Dragon of Wood. Together, the quintet strives to become full-fledged Xiaolin Dragons, protecting both the world and the Shen Gong Wu. Unfortunately, this comes into direct conflict with the gallery of villains, who want to use Shen Gong Wu to take over the world.This includes Jack Spicer, the self-proclaimed evil genius who’s a master of robotics and technology. Wuya, an ancient Heylin witch defeated by Grand Master Dashi and turned into a mere ghost in consequence. Lastly, Chase Young, an immortal villain who with the help of his partner Shadow, wants to mold the world to his own liking.The series concluded in July of 2015, despite the announcement of a second season. In a published newsletter [1], the creator stated that Xiaolin Chronicles will be a standalone series, and the franchise will continue in a new format similar to the original series.The character sheet is shared with its original series, so go there for information on the new characters. | |

Evil Sounds Deep | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_16364a29 | comment |
Evil Sounds Deep: In the original series, Chase Young was voiced by Jason Marsden and sounded rather youthful. With David Kaye now voicing him, he sounds noticeably deeper, which makes it great for all the constant scheming he does throughout the show. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
In the original series, Master Fung and Dojo's relationship was rather close, albeit the latter becoming increasingly possessive towards the former near the series’ end. In this show, Dojo seems to be outright and obsessively in love with Master Fung, to the point where he breaks down emotionally whenever the two are separated. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Tubbimura's Chihuahua, Muffin Face, was a regular dog in the original show. Assuming the Chihuahua shown is the same dog, he seems to be more aggressive and tags along with Jack's evil crew. Le Mime from the original series was rather ambiguous when it came to being evil. In this version, he's a lot more villainous and could take on the monks with far more dangerous miming. | |

In "Back in the Flesh Again", Jack Spicer gives Omi a bow tie in order to participate in the talent show. Said bow tie is obviously a hidden camera, complete with the whirring sound to zoom in. Of course, no one notices it until Kimiko takes a closer look after the Shen Gong Wu vault was broken into (again). | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Dojo believed Wuya was trapped in a puzzle box as opposed to a spring following her defeat by Dashi in "New Monk on the Block". In the original series, she was indeed trapped in a puzzle box. Dojo's future descendant in "Planet of the Dragons" has almost the same color scheme he had in the original series. Likewise, Rocco from "Rocco" sports almost the same colors well, albeit darker. In "Tigress Woo", Dojo once again refers to an original series episode, "The Crystal Glasses", by mentioning how he obtained ointment for his scales when he and the Monks went to Russia. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: In the original series, the main characters (besides Chase Young and Omi) would have several outfits to wear, depending on the setting or situation. Kimiko in particular would have a new and different outfit per episode. In this show, everyone's wardrobe has been reduced to two outfits at the most, with Kimiko's being temple robes and then a skirt. | |

| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Raimundo was a major character in the original series, with multiple episodes devoted to his character development, and concluded with him becoming the leader of the monks. His presence is considerably smaller in this show where he's neither of the aforementioned and is largely in the background with his fellow teammate Clay, whose presence was minimal to begin with. | |

Reality Warper | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_3b99a9e0 | comment |
Reality Warper: In the original series, showdowns would alter the landscape to fit the showdown's respective theme and non-participants could comment on the ensuing match. In this show, the showdowns are treated like a pocket dimension that contestants are seemingly warped into by Dojo. They also focus solely on the contestants with non-participants unable to watch or comment on them. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Initially, when the show first premiered there was confusion about whether it was a sequel to the original series, albeit with several differences. As the show progressed, however, the continuities of both shows began to diverge rather quickly and then split altogether by the season finale. It was later declared a standalone series with later supplemental material. The preface for the special edition of Chronicles makes the distinction of Dashi being the Xiaolin Dragon after unlocking the secrets of supreme martial arts, also calling him "a force of light". Likewise, Wuya is an evil witch who stole Dashi’s secrets and became "the embodiment of darkness", the Heylin Dragon. Following the battle between them, Dashi sealed Wuya into a spring and then placed that into a puzzle box. Dashi created the Shen Gong Wu after defeating Wuya, whereas in the original series he presumably created them beforehand. Furthermore, each new generation of Xiaolin Dragons that arrive at the temple eventually create new Shen Gong Wu themselves. The season finale reveals that in order to create new Shen Gong Wu, Xiaolin Dragons must give up their powers first. The season finale also reveals that with every new generation, Xiaolin Dragons could become Xiaolin Dragon Riders. The process included bonding with a respective dragon that would choose who was worthy enough to ride. This, combined with the fact that he would have to give up his powers, is what prompted Chase Young to switch over to the Heylin side. | |

| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: Since the majority of the combat is between the monks and Jack Spicer's Jack-Bots, several animation sequences are reused constantly; the monks striking a pose with their element, the monks calling out their elemental attack and Shen Gong Wu, and then Jack-Bots being destroyed from the monks' respective attacks. | |

Frozen Body Fluids: At the beginning of the episode "Heal Me!", due to the location of the Shen Gong Wu being frozen mountains, Dojo's snot freezes after he sneezes. He also tastes it and thinks it's not bad, but Ping Pong points out it's disgusting. | |

Time Skip | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_5fcb9ad1 | comment |
Time Skip: It's implied several years have passed within the show, as the main cast (sans Ping Pong) are familiar with each other and worked together previously (Jack and Wuya). In "Back in the Flesh Again", Omi states it'll be his fifth consecutive win at the temple's annual talent show, meaning five years have almost passed. | |

Clay and Patrick; while they're both huge and muscular cowboys, Patrick is hot-blooded, stubborn, and can be boisterous (especially when in his superhero persona), Clay is calm, quiet, and reasonable. At the same time, Patrick tends to jump into situations without foresight, whereas Clay would at least plan ahead of time. | |

This eventually changes to him wanting to destroy the universe in the season finale. Wuya primary goal throughout the show to regain her corporal form, which results in several plans that fail in part of Jack Spicer's incompetence. However, there are several hints that she is planning something in the long run, and with her confrontation with Princess Kaila in the season finale implies a force to be reckon with. | |

Incredibly Obvious Bug: In "Buddy Blue Ray and the Golden Bunnies", Jack Spicer gives Dojo a doll fashioned to be Master Fung. The left eye is larger than the right, glows red, and then moves around because it’s a camera. Then it's revealed there's a tracking device sticking out of the doll's rear, which no one had noticed until Kimiko flips it upside down. In "Back in the Flesh Again", Jack Spicer gives Omi a bow tie in order to participate in the talent show. Said bow tie is obviously a hidden camera, complete with the whirring sound to zoom in. Of course, no one notices it until Kimiko takes a closer look after the Shen Gong Wu vault was broken into (again). | |

Took a Level in Badass: In the original series, Le Mime was a one-shot villain whose treachery didn't last long after the monks figured out his miming abilities. In the reboot, however, he is considerably more dangerous, with him being much more tactical and his miming abilities a lot more combative. Had it not been for Clay and Patrick working together at the last minute, he might've defeated everyone in "Super Cow Patty". | |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_9fbf8969 | comment |
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Due to making poor financial decisions (which included purchasing a $6,000 toilet), Jack Spicer tries several times to gather up some capital. His failed plan in "Buddy Blue Ray and the Golden Bunnies" would've involved melting the titular bunnies down for their gold so he could rebuild his Jack-Bot army. In "Magic Stallion and the Wild Wild West", he collaborates with PandaBubba to get paid and put his scheme in motion. Jack ends up making considerable and legitimate money in "Xiaolin Redemption". He presents himself as an IT/Geek Squad venture and helps people with their computer issues. Though he does take offense to Wuya saying he's better at being an entrepreneur than being evil. He is also shown renting out his expensive toilet for customers in "Mi Temple, Mi Casa". | |

| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: Jack Spicer had red eyes in the original series, which matched his primarily black color scheme. Here, his eyes are black while his color scheme adds yellow and brown into the mix. Dojo had green and yellow scales in the original series, which were then reversed in Chronicles. Chase Young has a noticeable greener tint with his hair where as the original series it was jet black and only had a single green highlight. His eye color was changed from amber to brown while his armor became mostly green and brown as well. Wuya had a brown complexion in the original series and was replaced with a considerably lighter skin tone in Chronicles, along with her hair being a lighter shade of red. | |

Duels Decide Everything | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_b2919411 | comment |
Duels Decide Everything: As with the original series, Xiaolin Showdowns are the solution to the episode's conflict when suitable. A particularly dramatic case happens in "Princess Kaila of the Thousand Layer Mountain" where Omi defeating Chase Young in a showdown was the only way he could save the other monks from being permanently transformed into jungle cats. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Raimundo was a major character in the original series, with multiple episodes devoted to his character development, and concluded with him becoming the leader of the monks. His presence is considerably smaller in this show where he's neither of the aforementioned and is largely in the background with his fellow teammate Clay, whose presence was minimal to begin with. In addition to the main villains, the original series also had a recurring gallery of minor ones that would either team up with the former or contest with the monks themselves. Of that gallery, only Tubbimura, Katnappe, PandaBubba, and the Cyclops appear. Aside from PandaBubba having a major role in "Magic Stallion and the Wild Wild West", all of them are usually the voiceless and part the of background. | |

Color-Coded Characters: When participating in showdowns, the monks have a specific color associated them: Omi is cyan, Raimundo is blue, Kimiko is pink, Clay is orange, and Ping Pong is green. | |

Omi and Ping Pong; whereas Ping Pong is humble, kind, and considerate of others, Omi is selfish and egotistical with a jealous streak of anyone being more accomplished than him. At the same time, Omi is assertive and stands his ground, Ping Pong tends to be a people pleaser and a pushover at times, particularly seen in "Heylin Within". | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: The monks have all their Shen Gong Wu stolen by Chase Young and Shadow in "The Fall of Xiaolin". Come the next episode however, Clay is shown using the Fist of the Iron Bear and Omi wagers the Shroud of Monster Camo in a showdown – despite the fact that both are technically in the aforementioned villains' possession. Soon enough, more stolen Wu start appearing in the monks' possession without any explanation on how they managed to get them back. | |

Writing Around Trademarks | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_d4c98786 | comment |
Writing Around Trademarks: The Shen Gong Wu that were featured in the original series are under the copyright of Warner Bros. and not only had to be redesigned but renamed as well. Some were simple changes, such as the Orb of Torpedo (Orb of Tornami) and the Hanabi Star (Star Hanabi). Others however, were a bit more complex, like the Cheetah Claws, which combines the original series' Golden Tiger Claws and the Sands of Time into one. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Shadow and Chase flirt several times despite knowing they're related to each other. Raimundo seems to be interested in Kimiko, just like in the original series, and in "Xiaolin Redemption", Wuya implies a sort of relationship with Salvador Cumo. There's also the brief moment where Shadow (disguised as Willow) flirted with Clay during "A Girl Named Willow". | |

Bad Future | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_deb39de3 | comment |
Bad Future: In "Planet of the Dragons", the monks visit a future where dragons rule the world and humans are their slaves, because they mistreated Dojo who then went onto lead the dragons in the takeover. However, it's later revealed it was his descendant who pushed the takeover, as Dojo just wanted dragons and humans to be equal. | |

Art Evolution: In some areas, the art style of has improved over the original series with more attention to detail, one example being the Xiaolin Temple depicted a lot more architectural features and a permanent location. The character designs for everyone (sans Omi) have gone through a significant redesign from their original ones. | |

Death Course: The first time the monks are shown in "New Monk on the Block" they are running the obstacle course. Said obstacle course includes features such as Omi evading arrows being shot at him, Kimiko hopping over a pit filled with mechanical crocodiles snapping at her, and Raimundo dodging giant shuriken with his wind element. | |

Flanderization | |
| Xiaolin Chronicles / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Omi already had a problem with haughtiness and being self-centered in the original series, but this was counterbalanced with more positive traits such as a deep appreciation for his friends and seeing the good in everyone, to name two examples. In this show however, his attitude is even worse, combined with the tendency of being envious of anyone being more accomplished than him. Dojo in the original series would react differently when a new Shen Gong Wu revealed itself; some of them would be humorous like a sneeze he couldn't get rid of, while others would be a bit more serious, such as getting rashes. Here, when a Shen Gong Wu revealed, no matter what he would rapidly break out in boils that pop then spew pus all over the place. In the original series, Master Fung and Dojo's relationship was rather close, albeit the latter becoming increasingly possessive towards the former near the series’ end. In this show, Dojo seems to be outright and obsessively in love with Master Fung, to the point where he breaks down emotionally whenever the two are separated. | |

Combination Attack: Shoku Star/Rocket Formation, which is seen at the beginning of "Laws of Nature" and "Heylin Within". This allows the monks to fight in unison, though has never been shown to its full extent. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect?: At times, Dojo feels that the monks don't give him enough credit for all the things he does for them. This ends up being the underlying issue in both "Planet of the Dragons" and "Heal Me" though in the latter it's mostly directed towards Omi. | |
