Picking up some time after the original series, things seem peaceful for the monks and they even have a new recruit named Ping Pong. However trouble literally comes to their doorstep when a new Heylin warrior sent by Chase winds up getting most of their acquired Shen Gong Wu in his possession.

It seems rather unnecessary to list the other channel feeds Xiaolin Chronicles premiered on especially when Showdown only lists Kids' WB and nothing more. So it'll be nixed.


It also aired on the international feeds of Creator/CartoonNetwork. In this case, it premiered in the United Kingdom, Japan, Turkey and the rest of Asia in March 2014. Latin America and the Nordic countries aired the show in May, while the Netherlands, Russia, Poland and the rest of Central and Eastern Europe did the same in June.

Jack Spicer gets progressively incompetent as the series progresses. Furthermore, him remembering the bad future at the end of Xiaolin Showdown seems to come from the fandom, because the closest line that can be found in Chronicles is Jack complaining to his Chef-Bot how about his projected timeline of world domination hasn't planned out, which is rather vague at best.

** Seemingly reversed in the case of Jack Spicer. While he was always a bit of a bumbler, in the first few episodes of the original show he wasn't near as pathetic as he eventually became. ''Chronicles'' seems to portray him as being closer to how he originally was.



** Jack Spicer seems much more competent here than he was in the original series. He's raised the morale of his team of evil, become less of a wuss, and even [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretended to cower in fear like he used to in order to set up a dirty trick]]. Episode 6 has him in full ButtMonkey mode again, so this might just be temporary.
** He also took advantage of Dojo's distress in episode 4 to give him a tracking device disguised as a Master Fung doll.
** And now knows to use his tech skills to get money.
** And now it turns out he remembers the BadFuture in "Time After Time" for the original show where he ruled the world and is working to make that happen.
** Dojo also counts since he can breathe fire more easily and managed to tie with Chase's fire breath. If not for Willow's interference, the fire fight between the two could've gone either way.
** Le Mime was, for a starter/one-shot villain, decently powerful in the original show, but here in ''Chronicles'', it's a whole other story, his powers are more combat-oriented and don't have the weaknesses they did in the original show. Added to that, he's capable of easily defeating the Monks this time around, and if it wasn't for the episode's Shen Gong Wu, he just might have ''won''.
