History Trivia / XiaolinChronicles

* GenreKiller: This show certainly killed the trend of foreign re-interpretations of American animated shows à la ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsY'' and ''Anime/Stitch!''.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: A very extreme example happened ''shortly after'' the series' conclusion. (partially justified since the show's international dubs all have [[RoleReprise their respective casts back]] from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown''). One of the show's story editors [[https://www.legacy.com/funeral-homes/obituaries/name/stephen-sustarsic-ii-obituary?sid=106542864&v=forestlawn passed away in October 2018]]. Speaking of the international voice actors, Wuya's Hungarian voice actress [[http://iszdb.hu/?szemely=7540 passed away in 2016]], with Master Fung's Hungarian voice actor [[http://iszdb.hu/?szemely=9790 following the suit two years later]]. The latter characters' Venezuelan and Brazilian voice actors passed away in [[https://doblaje.fandom.com/es/wiki/Héctor_Isturde 2019]] and [[https://revistamonet.globo.com/Noticias/noticia/2021/08/julio-chaves-dublador-brasileiro-de-mel-gibson-morre-de-covid-aos-76-anos.html 2021]], respectively. And Rocco's Polish voice actor [[https://plejada.pl/newsy/mieczyslaw-moranski-nie-zyje-polski-glos-asterixa-mial-covid-19/kl88xtn died in 2020]]. How all this affects the future of the Xiaolin franchise is unknown for now.

* DevelopmentHell: Following the series’ conclusion, a [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christyhui/xiaolinshowdown?ref=backerkit Kickstarter]] was announced in November 2015 for a graphic novel called ''Xiaolin Dragons''. The project was postponed following the terrorist attacks in Paris that month and was supposed to resume in January 2016. The campaign has been since canceled, but Christy Hui has recently hinted [[https://twitter.com/christyhuichat/status/1304215840087134208 about another Xiaolin project in works]].

** As the show is a French co-production, all but two of the voice actors (Anouck Hautbois as Kimiko, and Boris Rehlinger as Chase Young) were replaced.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show's tenure on Disney XD was a bit of a mess; after the initial premiere in August 2013, episodes began airing the following month on Saturdays – completely out of order. The show was then subject of several hiatus and schedule moves, which helped hastened its decline in ratings. Finally, it was unceremoniously dropped in March 2014 before it could finish its first season.

** Originally, the show was planned to have three seasons like the first series. The second season was announced for the fall of 2014. It was supposed to introduce new characters on both the good and evil sides, as well as new elements to the story.
** Following the series’ conclusion, a [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christyhui/xiaolinshowdown?ref=backerkit Kickstarter]] was announced in November 2015 for a graphic novel called ''Xiaolin Dragons''. The project was postponed following the terrorist attacks in Paris that month and was supposed to resume in January 2016. Unfortunately, January came and went, with the project all but cancelled.

** As the show is a French co-production, all but two of the voice actors (Anouck Hautbois as Kimiko, and Boris Trouillard as Chase Young) were replaced.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Some of the Shen Gong Wu were renamed due to the fact Warner Bros. still holds the rights to the names.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The series received little to none promotion outside the initial debut, with episodes airing out of order and premiere dates inconsistent at best. [[note]]Depending on the time zone, episodes were aired at 6AM or the midday, well from the time the target audience would tune in.[[/note]] Competition between other shows hastened the series' ratings decline and left the last remaining six episodes unaired on Disney XD.

** Creator/MichaelDonovan replaces Creator/MauriceLamarche (alongside original voice actor René Auberjonois) as Master Fung.

* ActingForTwo: In the English dub, most of the actors have more than one main role. This leads to many incidents of TalkingToHimself.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While running on Creator/DisneyXD, the show had some kind of problem. Luckily, it later moved to {{Creator/Netflix}}.
* TheOtherDarrin: The original European French version of ''Chronicles'' recasts pretty much everybody from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'''s European French dub. Anouck Hautbois (the voice of Kimiko) and Boris Rehlinger (the voice of Chase Young) are the only exceptions.
** The English dub of ''Chronicles'' suffers from this trope as well. Only Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/JenniferHale returned to reprise their roles as Omi and Katnappe, respectively.
** The Romanian dub recasts everyone else because of the change of cities (Oradea to Bucharest).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was initially greenlit for second season, but Christy Hui later said that it "will not return".

* TheOtherDarrin: Apart from Creator/TaraStrong as Omi and Creator/JenniferHale as Katnappe, ''none'' of the original voice actors return for the new series due to a Canadian law preventing voice actors without Canadian citizenship from appearing in animated projects.[[note]]It's worth noting most of the replacement actors [[LoopholeAbuse also have dual citizenship, possibly in an attempt to tie into the series' US roots.]][[/note]] To go into specifics:
** Creator/EricBauza replaces Creator/TomKenny and Danny Cooksey as Raimundo and Jack respectively.
** Creator/JenniferHale replaces Creator/GreyDeLisle as Kimiko.
** Creator/DavidKaye replaces Creator/JeffBennett and Creator/JasonMarsden as Clay and Chase Young respectively.
** Creator/CreeSummer replaces Creator/SusanSilo as Wuya.
** Regardless of the fact Creator/MauriceLamarche is Canadian, he (alongside original voice actor René Auberjonois) was replaced as Master Fung for never explained reason by Creator/MichaelDonovan.
** As far as the original French version is concerned, only Kimiko (Anouck Hautbois) and Chase Young (Boris Rehlinger) were able to return for the new series. Everyone else was replaced.

* ActingForTwo: In the show's English dub, most of the actors have more than one main role. This leads to many incidents of TalkingToHimself.

* FollowTheLeader: Judging by its voice cast, the show's English dub follows the steps of the ones of Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ and ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'' for sure. Both dubs have the voice casts different from the ones of WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls and Disney/LiloAndStitch. Its original French version suffered the same fate as the original Japanese version of Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ. The said anime has a voice cast different from the one of the Japanese dub of WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls. Also, ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'', Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ and this show are all the foreign animated adaptations of Disney and Cartoon Network's properties. The latter animated show has the original show's creator Christy Hui as executive producer, however.
