Xiaolin Chronicles is a Canadian-American animated/CG television series presented as a continuation of the Warner Bros. series, Xiaolin Showdown.[4] The series premiered on August 26, 2013, with three back-to-back episodes serving as a preview. The full series premiered on September 14, 2013. It was produced by ActionFliks Media Corporation in collaboration with the French studio Genao Productions. Due to copyright some elements of the original show had to be changed.
The show aired for twenty episodes from August 26, 2013 to March 6, 2014 on Disney XD, leaving the last six episodes unaired in the United States until July 1, 2015, when Chronicles was made available to watch on Netflix.
In a newsletter published on July 25, 2015, creator Christy Hui announced that Chronicles will not continue with a second season and that it was planned to be a standalone series. However, she stated that there will be a new Xiaolin project that will continue in a format to that of Showdown.[5]
Production
Produced entirely in Canada with Christy Hui returning as executive producer, the show is animated in 2D animation while CGI was used for all of the Xiaolin Showdown scenes. The show features new character designs and a slightly altered logo for the show. With the exception of Tara Strong (Omi, Ping Pong) and Jennifer Hale (Katnappe, Willow), all of the original voice cast was replaced due to the show being a French/Canadian production. All Shen Gong Wu from the original series had to be renamed because Warner Bros. still owns the titles and rights to the names.
Plot
Omi, Kimiko, and Clay have recently risen to the rank of Shoku Warrior except for Raimundo, who already became a Shoku Warrior, where they must continue to uphold their duty of finding and collecting all of the mystical Shen Gong Wu power objects before the forces of evil do. They are joined by a recruit from Europe named Ping Pong, who competes with a mysterious girl named Willow for the position of Xiaolin Apprentice. Through the events of the show's pilot, the monks learn that Willow is evil, and is apprentice to the formidable Heylin warlord Chase Young. She and Chase destroy the temple and take all the Shen Gong Wu. With their temple destroyed, the monks must search for a new temple, while still trying to collect all the Shen Gong Wu and protecting the world from the likes of Chase Young and the villainous Jack Spicer.
Characters
Main article: List of Xiaolin Showdown characters
- Omi (voiced by Tara Strong) - Omi is the Xiaolin Dragon of Water. His elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Orb of Torpedo and his main attack is "Shoku Neptune Water" allowing him to control and manipulate water. He has a very big ego and tends to think himself better than everyone else. He is the most skilled of the Xiaolin monks as he has been training since he was a baby. This sometimes makes him brag and put others down, and when someone does something better than him, he usually becomes jealous and tries to outdo that person. Due to his sheltered upbringing, he is somewhat sexist, and he has a penchant for misinterpreting modern slang and idioms.
- Kimiko Tohomiko (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - Kimiko is from Tokyo, Japan and she is the Xiaolin Dragon of Fire. Her elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Kanabi Star and her main attack is "Shoku Mars Fire," with which she can conjure up great blazing fireballs. Kimiko hates being made to feel incompetent or insignificant, and she is well known for being short-tempered and stubborn. Despite this, she is quite compassionate and affectionate toward her friends. Kimiko's interests include technology and fashion.
- Raimundo Pedrosa (voiced by Eric Bauza) - Raimundo hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is the Xiaolin Dragon of Wind. His elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Sword Of Lucida and his main attack is "Shoku Astro Wind," which allows him to fly and to literally blow his enemies away. Raimundo is lazy, impulsive, and prone to making rash decisions; however, he is an excellent strategist and cares deeply for those he considers friends.
- Clay Bailey (voiced by David Kaye) - Clay comes from Texas and is the Xiaolin Dragon of Earth. He is shown to be gentle despite his big size and can often come up with simple solutions to complicated problems. Clay's elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Fist of the Iron Bear, and he uses his earth attack "Shoku Jupiter Earth" to create fissures or shatter boulders. He is also the owner of a talisman that can summon a magical horse called "Thunderhoof", though this talisman was later given to Princess Kalia.
- Ping Pong (voiced by Tara Strong) - Ping Pong is the first new character introduced in this series. Ping Pong resembles Omi, but younger and wears big green glasses. He is the fifth monk chosen at the Xiaoin Temple as the Xiaolin Dragon of the Wood element. His birth name is "Boris Antonio Rolf Jean-Pierre Gaulle LeGrand IV". Due to his long name, Omi decides to call him "Ping Pong". As his protégé, Omi refers to Ping Pong as his "little gecko". In his backstory, Ping Pong grew up in Europe as a speedy errand boy delivering messages to monasteries throughout Europe. He was soon inspired by hearing legends of the Xiaolin monks and decides to join them on their adventures. His main abilities are his running speed and fast moves.
- Dojo Kanojo Cho (voiced by Michael Donovan) - A size-shifting Chinese dragon. He serves as the Xiaolin Warriors' main mode of transportation and wisecracking advisor. Often shows affection for Master Fung
- Master Fung (voiced by Michael Donovan) - A wise old master of the Xiaolin warriors, trainer, and guide. He tells the Xiaolin warriors his wisdom that can help them solve their problems.
- Chase Young (voiced by David Kaye) - The immortal evil warrior who can transform into a hideous dragon like creature. Chase renews his desire to destroy the Xiaolin Monks and plots to create a Heylin Empire. He created Shadow and shares a special bond with Her.
- Shadow (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - Shadow is the second new character introduced in this series. She is a dark spy who works for Chase Young. When the Xiaolin monks first met her, she was revealed as a normal girl named Willow. She and Ping Pong competed for the Xiaolin Apprentice top spot, as well as for Omi's attention. Kimiko began to grow more suspicious of her and eventually discovered her secret identity as Shadow. She has the ability to hide in the shadows and communicates telepathically with Chase Young. Often thinks Jack and Chase are too incompetent to be evil and allies herself with Wuya.
- Wuya (voiced by Cree Summer) - The Heylin Witch who was once the most powerful and evil being in the universe. She was defeated by Grand Master Dashi in the first Xiaolin Showdown and imprisoned in a spring contained within a puzzle box. Released 1500 years later by Jack Spicer, Wuya needs him to collect Dashi's Shen Gong Wu to rule the world once again and plunge the world into 10,000 years of darkness. She bullies Jack frequently such as telling him he "fights like a girl" and calling him an "idiot" and "embarrassment to evil everywhere". She returns to her human self thanks to Shadow.
- Jack Spicer (voiced by Eric Bauza) - A self-proclaimed "Evil Boy Genius" and aspiring ruler of the world. Jack is largely incompetent and a bit of a bumbler, though he is persistent and never loses sight of his goals. He often refers to himself as an "evil entrepreneur." Sometimes allies himself with the Xiaolin Monks, but tries hard to impress Chase Young.
- Katnappe (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - A cat-themed criminal and one of Jack Spicer's allies.
- Tubbimura (voiced by Eric Bauza) - An overweight but agile ninja and one of Jack Spicer's allies.
- Cyclops - A one-eyed giant and one of Jack Spicer's allies.
- Tiny Sim/Weaselnator (voice by Tara Strong) - A young aspiring villain who idolized Jack, seeking to apprentice under the evil genius. However, once he acquired the Rooster Booster Shen Gong Wu, he betrayed Jack and dissolved their partnership. Before meeting Jack, Tiny Sim was the president and webmaster for the Online Jack Fanclub.
- Pandabubba (voiced by Eric Bauza) - A panda-themed crime lord.
- Salvador Cumo (voiced by David Kaye) - A charming but conniving criminal that can transform into a Komodo dragon and regenerate lost limbs. He was once allies with Wuya and seems to have some sort of mysterious connection to Chase Young.
- Warden (voiced by Eric Bauza) - A demented Game Show Host summoned by Chase Young to keep the Xiaolin Monks from obtaining The Mask of The Green Monkey.
