Yin Yang Yo is an Animated Series which aired in Toon Disney's Jetix block (later Disney XD). It retains the same creative team behind The Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom, so naturally there are quite a few similarities.Yin and Yang are twin rabbits. Yin, the studious and socially aware girl, is constantly mortified and embarrassed by her dirty, disheveled, violent, greedy and self-indulgent (but still miraculously on the side of good) brother, Yang. Together, they study the ancient art of Woo Foo under the tutelage of grumpy old panda Master Yo, who once had his own Woo Foo glory days.Yin's studies are Woo Foo magic; Yang's are Woo Foo combat, hence the "might and magic" standard above. They both are eager to prove themselves, partly because they want to master what they've learned, but also because the Big Bad has rendered it so the entire world thinks Woo Foo is stupid and laughable. The problem is that, as twins and polar opposites, they get on each other's nerves and get in each other's way often. But when they do finally set aside their differences and actually work together, they prove formidable.Feel free to contribute to the Character Sheet
This series provides examples of:
Action Girl: Yin, Lina towards the end of Season 2
Aerith and Bob: There's normal names like Dave, Linda and Rodger. There are fictional names, like Yin, Yang and Coop. And there are names like Ultimoose and The Boogeyman.
Ambiguously Gay: Carl, The Evil Cockroach Wizard. mainly because of his accent
He once used a giant robot in the shape of a giant pink stiletto-heeled stripper-boot. He's been seen being fitted for a dress by his mother (Who the dress wouldn't fit, of course, as she's a dragon. Don't ask), with no sign that it was unwilling. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Carl's accent is the straightest thing ABOUT the character.
Bad Future: The premise of "Deja Foo", Yang creates a future where Ultimoose becomes the new Night Master when he found the Amnesulet but he managed to hit the Reset Button on it. When Yang use this as a advantage to start deliberatingly hurt others in attempt to get revenge, it's even worse when he forgot about the Amnesulet and got Yin and Master Yo killed by Ultimoose in the process! Yang managed to prevent the future from happening by being nice and stopped Ultimoose, with the help of the villains who Yang was nice to!
Balloon Belly: Happens to Yin in "How the Cookies Crumble".
Brick Joke: This series runs on these, but the biggest one comes from ULTIMOOSE! In "The Trouble with Twonicorns", he says he wants to pick up chicks, with his horns showing a baby chicken. The last episode of the series has ULTIMOOSE honestly attracting Coop's Mom.
Brother Chuck: After "Welcome to the dark tomorrow", Molecu Larz vanished without any explaination.
Eviler than Thou: Played for laughs between Carl and his brother Herman.
Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: Saranoia is a sorceress with wands that transform her, binding her to their will. Examples include a wand that transformed her into a little girl and a maidin fishnets.
The sheer amount of time they use the word "sucks" (as in "This sucks!!") is mind-boggling, especially for family friendly Disney.
Every single scene of "Fighting Fooberty" is sufficient to make anyone over the age of 12 slightly green in the face. Just watch; you won't regret it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BPMhDmPstY
A scene in "Basic Yinstinct" has Yang get away with calling Yin flat chested.
Gross Out Show: Played for laughs between Yang's bad habits and Yo's old person hygiene. Yuck in general.
Harmless Villain: Up and down in regards to Carl, the Evil Cockroach Wizard.
Heart Symbol: Yang leaves them behind him [where a cartoon character would ordinarily leave a puff of smoke] as a wake when he realizes his crush likes him back.
Heel Face Revolving Door: Yuck was beaten up by a group to become good and then became evil again when he got beaten up by Yin and Yang one too many only to realize that he was good all along.
In the episode "Crawling with the Enemy", a disguised Carl teams up with Yin and Yang to take down one of Eradicus' corporations. At the end of the episode, moved by how good Yin and Yang treated him, he removed his disguise, says that he doesn't want to be evil anymore and be friends with them. He's kicked out.
Last of His Kind: Master Yo is quite fond of telling anyone who will listen that he is the last panda on the planet. Before training Yin and Yang, he was also the last Woo Foo warrior.
Stalker with a Crush: Coop the chicken has the dig on for Yin, and Yang has the dig on for Yin's friend Lena.
Stealth Pun: At an all-bear formal party, Yang asks where the bathroom is. A bear politely indicates the woods. Yang looks confused for a moment, then smacks his forehead and says, "Duh, of course."
Title Drop: Yin, Yang, and Yo say it as a battle cry in the Season 1 finale.
Took a Level in Badass: Dave when he discovers his powers to manipulate plants and Lina when she uses Might Woo-foo and was second-in-command of the Woo-foo army.
Tsundere: Lina she even lampshades this to Yang in Gone-A-Fowl.
Twin Telepathy: Yin and Yang occasionally hit the same thought at the same time and/or finish each other's sentences when they're separated and in danger.
Yang has used it to find Yin on occasion. Though not entirely under his own control.
The Unfavorite: Saranoia's rants indicate she was one of these growing up.
Carl fits this trope even better than Saranoia, with his mother constantly praising his brother over him.
Weaksauce Weakness Carl is incredibly competent and dangerous when it comes to being a wizard, but enraging him makes him act like a six year old with a temper tantrum. This is shown in the season 1 finale, where Carl for once isn't fighting enemies who snark at him, allowing him to focus and take out hordes of opponents.
Herman's allergic reaction to panda fur. To be fair, there is exactly one panda left, but still.
Wonder Twin Powers: The Woo Foo Aura results in a giant energy form made up of Yin and Yang working together so their Battle Aura combines into a half-pink, half-blue Battle Bunny.
Turned up a notch when Master Yo is also involved in it. His aura is green. Not surprising when you think about it... (Okay so Yin's is pink. That's light red, close enough for cartoons!)
