Continuity Warning

References, mentions, and events in Young Hercules that do not support the canon in Young Hercules (Movie Pilot), Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and Xena: Warrior Princess, or are simple editing errors within. (For support of the canon, see Nod to HtLJ and X:WP.)

1.01 Treasure of Zeus

• In all the flashbacks in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Jason has been the King of Corinth - but for most of the series he's still the crown prince.

1.03 What a Crockery

• Jason and Iolaus both act like they've never seen Ares before ("He's shorter than I thought." "Isn't he though?") even though they both met him in the Young Hercules (Movie Pilot).

1.05 Girl Trouble

• Lilith is the second girl cadet in the known history of Cheiron's Academy, however no mention is made in this episode to the first female cadet, Yvenna. Jason even says, "Who ever heard of a girl cadet?"

1.08 Keeping Up With the Jasons

• During the fight at Kora's Inn, Midicus uses trickery to get ahold of the Shiny Shield, and while fighting, Hercules strikes the shield with the Shiny Sword. He appears momentarily stunned, and seems to fight the magnetic pull to wrench the sword away. However, in the Xena episode "s01e08 - Prometheus", it is shown that if something forged by Hephaestus strikes something else forged by Hephaestus, the bearer of the striking weapon is turned to ashes.

1.10 Cyrano de Hercules

• In H:TLJ "s03e03 - Love Takes A Holiday", it is assumed that Iolaus had never meet Heph prior to that episode. but, it seems like they're buddies in Young Herc. - Whoosh.org.

1.11 Battle Lines I

• When Lilith captures Hercules and Iolaus, she tells them that she's going to deliver them to Princess Cyane. But when she presents them to Cyane, she says "The prisoners, my Queen.". Considering that Cyane is referred to as "Queen" in both 1.05 Girl Trouble and 1.09 Amazon Grace, calling her "Princess" was probably a mistake that wasn't caught in editing.

1.21 Lyre Liar

• Eurydice is killed by a vine under the control of Bacchus. In the Xena episode "s02e04 - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", Xena says that Eurydice was killed when she got in the middle of a war between Xena's army and Bacchus's Bacchae.

1.24 Dad Always Liked Me Best

• In HtLJ "s02e14 - Once A Hero", Castor and Pollux are part of the Argonaut reunion and help Jason retrieve the fleece. Only Pollux tries to claim it as his own.

1.25 Herc's Nemesis

• Hercules and Nemesis seem to meet each other for the first time in this episode. But in HtLJ "s01e07 - Pride Comes Before a Brawl", it's revealed that Hercules kissed Nemesis for the first time when he was ten years old.

1.39 The Skeptic

• Pythagoras is seen wearing glasses. However, in HtLJ "s05e14 - Just Passing Through", Iolaus II holds a pair of curved glass frames to his face and Hercules appears to have never seen such a thing before.
