Wulin Warriors is an English-language edited version of a Taiwan-made puppet show called Pili. The show aired in the US on Cartoon Network's Toonami in February 2006, but was taken off the block due to poor ratings and various complaints. In March 2008, it appeared again, but only online at AOL's Kids Online channel until it's shutdown. A few of the problems were in the show's translation; there were many puns placed where they weren't appropriate to the scene. One of the main characters, Scar (known as Ye Hsiao-Chai in the original), was changed from a mute to a wise-cracking character. Another complaint was that the show aired on a network that airs cartoons.
The show had a total of 13 episodes, but only two episodes aired in the US before the show was cancelled. Episodes that were not shown on TV were available on AOL's Kids Online channel until the service shut down. As of 2016, all 13 episodes can be seen on YouTube.
Lone Sword - Noted as the finest swordsman of his time, believed to be the future of fighting for the Wulin. Lone Sword grew up as a mere orphan, but was taken into the hands of the Oracle, where he then on dedicated his life to best his skill. It is known that Lone Sword never really interacted with anyone else other than the Oracle, or his best friend Scar. After the loss of the Lord of the Stars, the Oracle sent Lone Sword on the heavy task of finding the Lord of the Stars. The Oracle is said to have had very great of confidence in the abilities of Lone Sword, believing him to be the most promising among the Wulin Warriors. Due to this fact, there is much jealousy between the other Wulin Warriors.
Lone Sword always shared a very close relationship and bond with his good friend Scar. The truth behind this fact, is that they are brothers. Even though this may be true, neither have any knowledge of this. Considering Scarab himself used to be a Wulin Warrior, seeing a good ally of his own turn against him leaves a personal mark on Lone Sword.
Scar - Scar is noted as a master of the five major schools of fighting. The diverse amount of techniques that Scar wields makes up for the prowess of Lone Sword. Scar and Lone Sword were very close friends, living with each other on the street as mere orphans. It is thought that the scar on Scar's face is there due to a conflict between one of the Seven Stars. This fact may lead up to why he shows so much distrust between them. Scar is also very suspicious of Scarab, considering him to be very power hungry. Scar also does not think the highest of one of his allies known as Phoenix. Even though Scar bares many grudges, he is still very juvial and lighthearted. Even though it may not be truly shown, but Scar truly respects the Oracle, and vows to gain its respect. He is voiced by Sean Schemmel.
