Brace yourself, the entire world is about to change!
It's Evening after the events of Double Trouble, and Jeremie has scanned William in to the Supercomputer to make him immune to the returns to the past! William is eager to fight XANA, Maybe, a little too eager. Odd says that after he wins the school's skateboarding contest tomorrow, he will be there to deal damage, no matter how late he'll be.
Unfortunately, the next day every Lyoko Warrior except Aelita has some kind of obstruction caused by the b-characters. The Junior Reporters tail Jeremie all day, Ulrich's father has come to discipline his son, Yumi must babysit Hiroki and Sam Purposefully doesn't pass on Ulrich's message of an attack to Odd, all so she can spend time with her Boyfriend!
This leaves Aelita and William to go to Carthage alone, thankfully the direct travel program is a success. So It's a complete Untested Novice and The weakest fighter of the Group. Only good can come from this. Jeremie has arrived first so assumes mission control. We see William's Lyoko form and....MEH!
It's just a Jumpsuit, with no personality or hidden double meaning, granted the black line that does down to the waist and juts at 2 right angles before going down again, resembles a Karate Gi, but unlike the other's powers coming from their real-life skills we have never seen or has it mean mentioned that William does Karate! And if he did, then it completely jars with the fact he is armed with a buster sword, though that will come later when i break down his character in season 4.
Each of our heroes ditch their respective annoyances, As William just cuts through Kreepers. The Sypcozoa attacks and despite Jeremie and Aelita's warnings about The near indestructible Jellyfish, it's all for nothing, William attacks it and it possesses the new hero, Who One Shots Aelita with his blade.
In the Heart of Carthage, 20 Kreepers and William blast the Core Data of Lyoko. As this happens Jeremie is running a program to Realize Franz Hopper. One by One, William kills his former friends and then stabs through the Code Sphere, Destroying Carthage and All in it, including himself.
So it has Happened. XANA has won again! Only this time the heroes can no longer bring the fight to him, what was worse is that no only is one of there own lost forever, But the very People they save on a day to day basis cost them a victory.
It Looks Bleak...But then Jeremie's computer get a message alert. Franz may not be here, but his consciousness is on the internet...and he can help!
With Just 13 Episodes Season 3 has the least episodes of the 4 seasons, So the pacing of the Destruction Of Lyoko Arc seems rushed. However that means we have less filler to deal with. And the end result is another loss but on that stings more, they have lost one of their own to the enemy.
As for Character Development,
Jim has the most Development of the minor characters, even if it's allusions to past careers he rather not talk about, usually jobs that where military and he was sworn to secrecy, or jobs that were embarrassing like the musical that Odd was blackmailing him over! Also in a season where Yumi reject both Her suitors, I'm shocked Sissi has not being featured as much
With the least Development is Ulrich, who reaction to Yumi's announcement fills him with so much spite, he thinks leading on a freshman admirer is a good idea. And while Ulrich is doing bad at school, thanks to XANA, When his father calls his son's friends "Punks", he defends them. showing that he can still be the earnest boy he was in season 1
Odd is still the fun-loving, idiotic Stomach-on-legs with Plot Convenient Powers. Only Now Sam is interested in Odd, making the Playground Playboy a one woman man, But Odd has no real arc as he is still the comic relief character.
Despite being the chew toy for XANA Since Season 2, Yumi is more prominent in the Story this Season, She want only to be friends with Ulrich and William, since she knows how important the Mission is, and that dating one will hurt the other. She has final say over recruiting William, which given his declarations of love was now edging into stalking her, she was reluctant to do.
As the Only Couple in The Warriors, Jeremie and Aelita's development are entwined together. Jeremie has a Out-Of-Character Moment when he hurt Aelita's Feelings over her insistence that here father was still alive. While Aelita's Intuition was correct, Jeremie forgot that Aelita has being regaining her humanity by day, so her wanting to mourn her father, Evil as he was, he didn't Understand. Aelita this season gains Combative powers, Energy Blasts, as she is still unarmed. Becuase of Xana's plan to destroy Lyoko requires control over Aelita, Jeremie every loss and Every forced Return to the past personally. In the End, XANA becoming Jeremie's clone is what Cost the Team Lyoko and William.
So Of Course William the Green Ranger to the rest of the warriors get the mosr development, we learn Willaim is Canadian, and his families business is construction! But his reasons for helping and being recruited to the Warriors is strictly Yumi, and because of this, his Grandstanding and Confidence was his own Downfall as he Spends his time between Season 3 and 4 to become XANA'S Champion!
Despite Still knowing enough knowledge of Human Culture to take out more than Odd, Xana is now smart enough to disguise himself as a human, his speech as a clone is less stinted and more emotional than it was in Ghost Channel. His plans are more likely to succeed since he now puts the heroes in unwinnable situations that would either kill or threaten their secrecy, forcing Jeremie to launch a return to the past, to make XANA Stronger!
So That is season 3 done!
Season 4 Starts in January. I know, that seems far away for some, but the time for the rest of the years reviews are so tight, I can't fit anymore!
