Set in a world where martial arts battles and Eastern magic are commonplace, the series follows four young warriors in training that battle the forces of evil. They do this by protecting Shen Gong Wu (ancient artifacts that possess great magical powers) from villains that would use them to conquer the world.[/quote] Main Characters: [quote] Omi (Tara Strong): The Xiaolin Dragon of Water, Omi is the main protagonist of the series and was the first dragon-in-training to train with Master Fung. At times Omi can be selfish and boastful, and often learns lessons of humility. Like Raimundo, Omi once joined the Heylin. Having been raised in the monastery, he is naïve about the outside world. As a running gag Omi routinely confuses idiomatic phrases, from simple changes to lacking any resemblance to the original phrase whatsoever. In one situation, Raimundo used Omi's inability to recite idioms as an analogy as to how they would defeat Jack Spicer, "What Omi did to that sentence is what we're going to do to you!". Omi's signature moves are Tornado Strike-Water and Wudai-Neptune Water. His Wudai Weapon is the Shimo Staff, and his elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Kaijin Charm. His preferred Shen Gong Wu is the Orb of Tornami.[/quote] [quote]Kimiko Tohomiko (Grey DeLisle): The Xiaolin Dragon of Fire, Kimiko Tohomiko is the only female member of the team. Kimiko is the most tech-savy member of the team and comes from Japan. Kimiko also changes hairstyles and outfits almost every episode. Kimiko's signature moves are Judolette Flip-Fire and Wudai-Mars Fire. Her preferred Shen Gong Wu is the Star Hanabi, her Wudai Weapon is the Arrow Sparrow, and her elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Cat's Eye Draco. She has the shortest temper, generally at even the slightest provocation.[/quote] [quote]Raimundo Pedrosa: (Tom Kenny): The Xiaolin Dragon of Wind, Raimundo may be stubborn but he will do anything to protect his friends. Raimundo is street-smart and the group's self proclaimed rebel, he comes from Brazil. He has joined the Heylin side twice (once out of envy of the success of his friends, and a second time as a ploy to take Shen Gong Wu and the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman from Hannibal Bean). Raimundo's signature moves are Typhoon Boom-Wind and Wudai-Star Wind. His preferred Shen Gong Wu is the Sword of the Storm. His Wudai Weapon is the Blade of the Nebula, and his elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Crest of the Condor. He was named team leader in the episode Time After Time (Part 2), the last Xiaolin Showdown episode.[/quote] [quote]Clay Bailey (Jeff Bennett): The Xiaolin Dragon of Earth, Clay Bailey is the team muscle and a homegrown Texas cowboy. Clay sometimes speaks in "cowboy slang," and uses metaphors. Because of his good gentleman manners, he never fights girls, something that makes him quite helpless in episode 4 " Katnappe!". He also has a bad case of stage fright. His large size and sensible demeanor belie his good-humored and gentle nature. The only time he gets really mad is if someone takes or destroys his beloved cowboy hat. Clay has a sister named Jessie who is an outlaw and leader of the Black Vipers. Clay's signature moves are Seismic Kick-Earth and Wudai-Crater Earth. His preferred Shen Gong Wu are the Fist of Tebigong and the Third-Arm Sash. His Wudai Weapon is the Big Bang Meteorang, and his elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Longhorn Taurus.[/quote] [quote]Dojo Kanojo Cho (voiced by Wayne Knight in the series and Paul Rugg in the game): A shapeshifting dragon. The Xiaolin warriors' main mode of transportation and wise-cracking advisor, Dojo can sense Shen Gong Wu. He has no hind legs and is normally about 1.5 feet long, but when the situation requires it, he can shift into a full-sized 40-foot dragon. He has served Grand Master Dashi, as Omi sees him when Jack sent him back in time to find another puzzle box to trap Wuya. Dojo is often seen around Clay in the show; hanging around his arm, siting on his shoulder or inside his cowboy hat. When Dojo is out of commission, the Xiaolin Warriors use an aircraft Shen Gong Wu called the Silver Manta Ray, or the other transport Shen Gong Wu such as the Crouching Cougar, the Shen-Ga-Roo, or the Tunnel Armadillo.[/quote] [quote]Jack Spicer (Danny Cooksey): The Xiaolin Warriors' first and most annoying nemesis. Jack Spicer is notable for his robotic engineering, long rants, overuse of the word "evil" and his repetitive self-proclamation of "evil boy genius". He was responsible for releasing Wuya from the puzzle box that Grand Master Dashi locked her in, and aids her in finding Shen Gong Wu to conquer the world. Jack has aided the Xiaolin Warriors on occasion, and does show occasional leanings toward good. However, he always winds up back on the evil side. As a reflection of his character, his preferred Shen Gong Wu is the Monkey Staff, which was the only Shen Gong Wu he is left with at the end of the series. He has shown to have a hard past that explains his cowardly nature and worst fear (which is shown as a 5-year-old Jack Spicer being flushed down the toilet). Metaphorically, he is afraid of rejection. Jack Spicer has shown to be a big fan of Chase Young.[/quote] [quote]Wuya (Susan Silo): A 1500-year-old Heylin witch who inspired Jack to partake in the Shen Gong Wu hunt. After being imprisoned in a puzzle box by Grand Master Dashi for 1,500 years, Wuya's physical form was destroyed. Her goal is to use the Shen Gong Wu to regain a tangible body and along with it her magical powers. She, like Dojo, has the ability to sense a Shen Gong Wu's appearance, but does not need the Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu to determine what it does. At one point she leaves Jack to take on Raimundo as partner but after much debate he returns to the path of good.[/quote] [quote]Chase Young (Jason Marsden): Introduced in the second season as an even bigger threat than both Wuya and Jack. Chase Young controls an army of therianthropic warriors, trapped in the form of jungle cats, and has the ability to turn into a reptilian creature. Chase rarely uses Shen Gong Wu to battle since he claims it distracts him from honing his martial arts skills. During the second season of the show Chase plots to turn Omi to the Heylin side as part of a plot to rule the world. He succeeds but releases Omi as a matter of honor. He himself was turned to evil when Hannibal Bean convinced him to drink the Lao Mang Long Soup.[/quote] [quote]Hannibal Roy Bean (Tom Kenny): Hannibal is a demon that spends his time plotting evil and world domination. He was once imprisoned in the Ying-Yang world, but took the form of Jack Spicer and was able to convince the Xiaolin warriors to release him. He possesses the Moby Morpher which he uses to shape-shift into more threatening forms and travels on the Ying-Ying Bird. About 1,500 years ago, Hannibal succeeded in corrupting Chase Young by playing on his insecurities and convincing him to drink the Lao Mange Long Soup to gain power.[/quote]
Great show imo, depends on your tastes in TV shows.
Typically you just paraphrase information from wikipedia, give a brief synopsis.
Whatever happened to this show? I remember [SP]Rai Mundo (spelling) betrayed them[/SP] and then [SP]Omi was turned into a cat.[/SP] That's as far as I got. I loved it, but CN stopped airing it. :(
oh man the memories!
I remember watching this show and thinking of how a great video game could've formed out of it.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;27488844]I remember watching this show and thinking of how a great video game could've formed out of it.[/QUOTE] There was a video game. I have not played it yet, and regret it.
Great show, not sure if it's still on or if it has been cancelled, but I remember every Saturday watching it as a kid.
I remember this awesome evil version of Omi that shitted on everyone
I hate how they can't make a season 4. WB didn't let them. Max of 52 episodes. Fuck that, I say!
This was awesome even though I was around 14 when I used to watch it
[QUOTE=Inacio;27491788]the traitor was brazilian yeah like our fame isnt bad enough already asshole[/QUOTE] More people favoured Raimundo than not.
This show is amazing.
I remember this! I had the entire boxed set and action figures when it was on CN
I loved this show. Shame they didn't make another season.
[QUOTE=Zabe Aeiger;27491924]I loved this show. Shame they didn't make another season.[/QUOTE] [sp]I heard another one was coming out March 2011. Then again, I heard it was coming out January 4th, 2011, and January 26th, 2011.[/sp]
They can seriously do more with this show, I miss it.
This was like the 'Avatar' or CN After watching some episodes on youtube i miss it, damn
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;27491943][sp]I heard another one was coming out March 2011. Then again, I heard it was coming out January 4th, 2011, and January 26th, 2011.[/sp][/QUOTE] Why did you spoiler tag this?
I only caught glimpses from the show, and from what I saw, it was pretty stupid.
I miss watching this every Saturday morning.
In retrospect wouldn't the Mantis Flip Coin be a pretty shitty Shen Gong Wu, I mean they're a bunch of Kung Fu Warriors flipping shouldn't be that hard for them.
Was the antagonist's name Jack Splicer or something? [editline]17th January 2011[/editline] Also another good martial-arts cartoon of that time [img]http://sharetv.org/images/jackie_chan_adventures-show.jpg[/img]
I fucking loved Xioalin Showdown.
I used to love this show. Also, Omi reminds me of Krillin.
[QUOTE=RaveRaze;27494329]In retrospect wouldn't the Mantis Flip Coin be a pretty shitty Shen Gong Wu, I mean they're a bunch of Kung Fu Warriors flipping shouldn't be that hard for them.[/QUOTE] Not really, it could let them flip pretty fucking higher than they normally could.
Reymundo was such a badass [sp]when he was evil[/sp]
[QUOTE=MajorMattem;27499996]Reymundo was such a badass [sp]when he was evil[/sp][/QUOTE] He was a badass while he was good as well.
This show was pretty rad. I always liked the incompetent bad guy, Jack.
[QUOTE=Pascall;27501084]This show was pretty rad. I always liked the incompetent bad guy, Jack.[/QUOTE] Jack was my second favorite character.
