## Premise
Lan Jun lives with her father and grandmothers, who run the local kung-fu school, and learns kung fu as part of her family tradition. One day she receives a mysterious package containing a bracelet; when she puts it on, she is wrapped in an armor of jade scales and becomes the latest heroine called Jade.[2](https://www.emissionreplay.fr/l-armure-de-jade) The official synopsis describes her fighting supervillains while managing her life as an ordinary adolescent.[1](https://tv.apple.com/fr/show/jade-armor/umc.cmc.1j7jvsrkoir0lg26szlan8d1c?l=en)
The stories are built around Shards (French: *Éclats*), magical fragments embedded in everyday objects that produce a different disruptive effect in each episode. A Shard in the clock tower traps Lan Jun in a repeating day in the first episode; others steal voices, make a die the center of gravity so the whole city rolls with it, turn the residents of Ban Tang invisible, or trap people in giant soap bubbles.[1](https://tv.apple.com/fr/show/jade-armor/umc.cmc.1j7jvsrkoir0lg26szlan8d1c?l=en) • [6](https://www.canalplus.com/jeunesse/l-armure-de-jade/h/40572704_50889) Jade's usual response is to track down the Shard and absorb it.[1](https://tv.apple.com/fr/show/jade-armor/umc.cmc.1j7jvsrkoir0lg26szlan8d1c?l=en)
**Villains.** Her chief enemy is the Crimson Lord (le Spectre Rouge), her sworn archenemy, who in the first-season finale tries to complete his own armor during a lunar eclipse.[6](https://www.canalplus.com/jeunesse/l-armure-de-jade/h/40572704_50889) Black Tiger (La Tigresse) is a thief whose schemes include targeting the Beasticons, and Xinyan, a monkey who broke away from the Crimson Lord, hates humans and wants to turn Ban Tang into a human zoo.[1](https://tv.apple.com/fr/show/jade-armor/umc.cmc.1j7jvsrkoir0lg26szlan8d1c?l=en) • [6](https://www.canalplus.com/jeunesse/l-armure-de-jade/h/40572704_50889)
