Turtles appear primarily in two forms in this series. The first are references to the main turtle character of the series, Master Oogway – verbal, visual, and in flashbacks. The second element is a bowl that could be seen in the training hall in the first movie – Jade Tortoise of Wisdom. It is a huge bowl in the shape of a turtle, the name is not mentioned in the film, but it could be found on the official website. This object appears in some episodes, we don’t want to repeat the name constantly, so we shortened it to JToW. The remaining mentions are minor, the following list explains in detail which episodes have turtle elements and in what form:
Season 01:
S01E01 – Scorpion’s Sting – JToW appears. A flashback shows Oogway defeating Scorpion.
S01E03 – Sticky Situation – JToW appears, it is also used as part of a mech made by the opponent. Oogway only in flashback, doesn’t say anything.
S01E04 – Chain Reaction – Oogway’s image is on the column that Po and Tigress are transporting!
S01E05 – Fluttering Finger Mindslip – Oogway appears as a drawing on a scroll. JToW appears, but it is poorly visible.
S01E09 – Owl Be Back – In a flashback, Oogway is shown defeating the owl.
S01E11 – Sight for Sore Eyes – Oogway mentioned and shown on the papyrus picture that Po shows.
S01E12 – Rhino’s Revenge – Po talks about Wise old turtle, not by name, but of course it’s about Oogway.
S01E13 – Master Ping – Po’s father uses JToW as a cooking pot! It’s also the first time the name is mentioned “in the animation”, so if someone hasn’t had the opportunity to visit the official website, they got to know it for the first in this episode (and only time, it’s never mentioned by name again).
S01E14 – Ghost of Oogway – The title is Ghost of Oogway, so of course he appears as a ghost! Except that for most of the episode it’s not him at all, it’s one of the heroes’ opponents, Junjie, who impersonates Oogway. Then Shifu performs the same trick, and in the finale, what we only see as viewers, characters can’ see this, the real Oogway appears as a ghost. He also appears earlier, in flashbacks.
S01E15 – The Kung Fu Kid – JToW appears.
S01E16 – Ladies of the Shade – Oogway is mentioned, “nine headed black tortoise!” is also mentioned!
