Production
Produced in France and the United States, the series uses 2D animation with CGI for Xiaolin Showdown scenes. Christy Hui returned as executive producer. New character designs and a slightly altered logo were introduced. Most of the original voice cast was replaced due to budget and timing issues, except Tara Strong (Omi, Ping Pong) and Jennifer Hale (Kimiko in Chronicles only, Katnappe, Willow). All Shen Gong Wu from the original series were renamed. Sunwoo Entertainment contributed some animation.
Plot
They continue collecting Shen Gong Wu before the Heylin forces. A European recruit named Ping Pong competes with a mysterious girl, Willow, for the position of Xiaolin Apprentice. Willow is revealed to be a spy for Chase Young called Shadow. She and Chase destroy the temple and take all Shen Gong Wu, forcing the monks to find a new temple while protecting the world from Chase Young and Jack Spicer.
