* BroadStrokes: ''Chronicles'' seems to take place after Season 3 of the original show, albeit everyone is a Shoku warrior, but certain details seem to have been changed (the explanation of what Wuya was imprisoned in, Shen Gong Wu being renamed, the characters lacking Wu that they had in the first series, and the Monks lacking the Wudai Weapons, for example). Chase Young also goes back to being an enigmatic observer as opposed to being as active as he was in Season 3.

Whoa there. This is a bit... Much. Might take that to the YMMV page and all, and the voice actor change is covered on Trivia.

For almost everybody except for Omi NO ONE has their originaly voice actor's/actresses (this is because of a certant voice acting law in canada basically stating that if you aren't born in canada you can't voice act in canada.
