* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Exactly how good is Xuan Chi at fighting is difficult to pin down. Initial episodes have him beating single-handedly a Shadow Dragon-powered Ling, while in others he is unable to defeat cleanly a powered opponent but is still good enough of a trickster to work around the difference in level, and finally he is just a comedic wannabe in some others.

** It is doubtful that Ang has such feelings toward Ling. For starters, Ang is such a ChasteHero that the idea of Ang feeling for Ling that way would be very unlikely. For another thing, he is simply concerned about his sister and is acting like a protective older brother (note that the show does not say which one was born first). Could you blame him, considering how impulsive and reckless Ling acts at times?

Twins Ang and Ling are both in line to becoming the new Golden Dragon, but when Ang is chosen as Dragon Temple Guardian instead of her, Ling becomes jealous and confused which leads her to join the dark side (known as Ying), become the Shadow Dragon, team up with the evil Zodiac Master (who wants to steal all the power bands of the Zodiac to become all powerful) to steal Ang's powerband and become the new Golden Dragon. Ang must team up with the Tiger Temple Guardian Beingal, his Mentor; Master Chin, and the Monkey Temple Guardian Xuan Chi to defeat the Zodiac Master and bring his sister Ling back to the side of good (known as Yang).

''Legend of the Dragon'' is an animated series consisting of 26 episodes followed by 13 additional episodes for a total of 39 episodes. It is produced by {{BKN}} and premiered in October 2006 as part of the Jetix block on Toon Disney. Subsequently, the two part episode "Trial by Fire" was shown as a Jetix Blockbuster on ABC Family in August before all Jetix programming moved to Toon Disney.

In the UK, the first 26 episodes have aired across CBBC. It premiered in Summer 2005 on the CBBC channel. It is unclear of whether the additional 13 episodes will be shown or not. Episodes 27?39 have begun airing in Australia on Network Ten's Toasted TV as of March 19, 2008.

Is notable for shoddy animation, surprisingly implicit BrotherSisterIncest and a {{cliffhanger}} ending.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Hoo boy, Ang definitely has this when it comes to Ling. He does not approve of Ling having feelings for K-Ho. She is actually a better fighter than Ang in some ways. Of course, she is wild and impulsive, so it is understandable he would act protective towards her.
* BigNo: Ling does this a couple of times. [[spoiler: The first time is when Ling defeats Beingal, yells "No!", and saves Beingal from falling to her death. The second time is when Ling is given the chance to kill her own brother. She fires a blast inches from his head and screams out "NO!"]]

* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: [[spoiler: In the season 1 finale, Ling has Ang at her mercy. Master Chin tells her that if she wants Ang's powerband, she has to kill her own brother. She does not go through with it. Then the trope is subverted when it turns out that Master Chin did not want her to do it, and that he was testing her to see if she truly valued power more than her own brother's life.]]
** [[spoiler: In the season 1 finale, the Emperor of the Darkest Yin tells Ling to kill her brother Ang. Fortunately, she does not.]]
* ImprobableAge (do Ang or Ling really look 15 to you?)
* {{Jerkass}}: Ling starts out like this in the first episode. She pulls a FaceHeelTurn in the second episode. [[spoiler: She gets better]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Almost every character wears the same clothes throughout the show - and has the same look in their empowered forms. The few exceptions are the Zodiac Master, who wore a grey outfit at one point in season 1 [[spoiler: and Ling, who gained a Golden Dragon look to replace her Shadow Dragon look in the season 1 finale]]. It is actually funny to see Beingal and Ling shopping and buying clothes at some points in the show.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: In the first episode, the Golden Dragon is stated to have died and gone on to the afterlife. It is later revealed in season 1 that the Golden Dragon mentioned in the first episode was the father of Ang and Ling. Even later it is revealed in season 1 that their mother is the Guardian of the Ram Temple, she is still alive, and she lost her memory. By the way, Master Chin knew all this and did not tell Ang and Ling. Why? Because he wanted them to find out on their own.]]
* MartialPacifist: Ang.
* MaskPower
* MasterOfDisguise: The Golden Temple Rat Guardian.
* MoralityPet: This trope is definitely played with. [[spoiler: Ling could have killed Beingal at one point, but she did not. Why? Because they were friends - and still are, really]]. Ling also loves animals, and will never harm an innocent animal. All this goes a long way to showing that Ling cannot be all bad - [[spoiler: especially in season 1]].
* ObliviousToLove: [[spoiler: Poor Ling. K-ho seems determined to ignore her advances. Quote: "Business before pleasure, Ling!" is almost a catchphrase of his.]]
** Well, he is a lone wolf in more than one sense of the term. He is probably just not used to having someone else being around him.
* OldMaster (Master Chin)
* RedOniBlueOni: You may think from looking at the picture on this page that Ling is the blue Oni and Ang is the red Oni. However, in terms of personalities, Ling is the red Oni and Ang is the blue Oni.
* RefusedByTheCall
* RickUngar
* TheChick: Beingal is arguably this. She is friends with Ang and Ling. This fact prevented Ling from killing Beingal, even though Ling did not want to admit it. She is also the one who acts as the mediator between [[spoiler: Ang and Ling in season 2 and in the very first episode of season 1]]. Not to mention the Beingal seems to act as a moderating influence on Ling.

* TheLancer: [[spoiler: Ling takes on this role in season 2. It suits her]].
* TheScrappy: Xuan Chi.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler: By the season 1 finale, Master Chin pretty much reveals that he had put Ling through one very long test of this kind to see if Ling truly deserved to be a Golden Dragon. Fortunately, Ling managed to pass this test.]]
* SeriousBusiness (losing your powerband is the worst that could happen to a guardian as Xuan Chi shows)
* SiblingYinYang (obviously)
* SpoilerOpening: The opening of the first episode completely ruins the surprise. The pictures that accompany it don't help either...
* SmugSnake: Zodiac Master is this, literally and figuratively. He is relatively clever, but his ego overrides it. That likely explains how he can have three powerbands and still lose to Ang (who only has his Dragon powerband). Also, he was born in the Year of the Snake, and has a pet snake named King Cobra, who acts as a spy for Zodiac Master. Is he beginning to remind you of Voldemort from HarryPotter?
* StockFootage (the powerups)
* TagalongKid: Xuan Chi seems to be in this role. He is the only character without a powerband. He acts mostly as comic relief. [[spoiler: At the start of season 2, he gets turned into an actual monkey. This would probably make him the TeamPet.]]
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: In the first episode of season 2, Emperor of the Darkest Yin fires two energy blasts at Ang and Ling. Beingal jumps to intercept the blasts. However, Xuan Chi ends up taking the two hits. He is not killed by this, but he is transformed into an actual monkey.]]
* TeamPet: [[spoiler: Xuan Chi is literally transformed into this in season 2]].
* ThemeNaming (Ang-Yang, Ling-Ying. The Tiger Guardian being Biengal probably qualifies as well.)
* WhamEpisode: The first episode of season 2. [[spoiler: Emperor of the Darkest Yin attacks the Temple of the Golden Dragon, successfully blowing it to smithereens. The Zodiac Master ceases to be a problem. Xuan Chi gets zapped and turns into a real monkey as a result. Ang and Ling are left wondering what they are going to do when their powerbands are not fully charged up, and they lost the Temple (the place that can recharge their powerbands).]]
