While the two have been resurrected, Xena has lost her warrior spirit. Gabrielle and her friends race to bring it back, all while battling Kal, Italia's God of War who has taken an interest in the warrior princess.
Tropes
- Blow You Away: Kal knocks Amarice unconscious merely by blowing her away with his breath.
- Came Back Wrong: Xena. The first sign was the fact that she couldn't even remember what to call her chakram. It was then the others discovered she doesn't even know how to fight.
- Evolving Weapon: The chakram, now known as the Balanced Chakram. It can be split in half and both pieces can be thrown the same way. The pieces themselves can be used as a Dual Wielding weapon. Overall, it's an upgrade from the first weapon.
- Identity Amnesia: Xena's new personality is completely devoid of her dark side.
- Immortal Breaker: Whoever can wield the Light Chakram can use it to kill any being, even immortal gods.
- Kill the God: Xena uses the Light Chakram to slay Kal. Still suffering from amnesia, she only used this to save Gabrielle rather than any intent to kill him.
- Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: As seen in the Light and Dark Chakrams.
- Love Confession: Joxer finally declares his love to Gabrielle, a declaration three seasons in the making.
- Mook Lieutenant: The Fat Arse Guard, who is both more than a match than Amarice and Gabrielle.
- Only the Pure of Heart: Only someone without darkness in their hearts can wield the Light Chakram without dying. Luckily for the amnesiac Xena, she fits the bill.
- PG Explosives: Gabrielle and Amarice use bombs to dispatch the Fat Arse Guard and some other guards, but it only sends them flying.
- Punched Across the Room: A single punch from the Fat Arse Guard sent Amarice flying into a tree.
- Tightrope Walking: Amarice attempts to reach the castle by walking on rope connected with an arrow from the wall to the building.
- Took a Level in Badass: Joxer puts up his best performance yet against a couple of guards.
- War God: Ares obviously, but also Kal, Italia's God of War.
