Xiaolin Showdown
Xiaolin Showdown is a 2000s animated series about Omi, a young monk-in-training from the Xiaolin Temple who is accompanied by three international friends (also monks) on a quest to search and protect sacred artifacts (Shen Gong Wu) that hold the keys to mystical superpowers. So far, the first two seasons ended with a "to be contined" story that will lead up to the next season.
Characters
(In order of appearance.)
Omi
Trained as a monk since birth, Omi is the Dragon of Water. His element represents how he can be a calm pond, or a raging tsunami. He takes his work very seriously, often jumping into situations quickly. He does not see the world as black and white which helps him but also sometimes hurts him. Often mixing up words, he is the leader of the four Dragons, and usually takes it hard on himself when he causes the team to lose a Shen Gong Wu. His accents and his truthful sentences get on other people's nerves. He interprets "lets chill" as "lets steam" and other phrases such as "talk to the hand" with "talk to my fingers". He is kind and short but he assists, and by trying, often helps his friends dearly. He is also a vegetarian. Even though the future looks grim for him it appears that eventually, he gains his freedom and corrects the world. His most powerful elemental attacks/strikes are Tsunami Strike and Tornado Strike. Also, using Tornado strike he can turn his water attack into an ice attack. Through a fabricated prophecy, Chase Young convinces Omi into joining up with him as a member of his special forces, an army of various kinds of cats, in the form of a yellow kitten. His biggest fear is a squirrel.
Kimiko Toho
Kimiko, the Dragon of Fire, is very smart and enthusiastic. Her element fire is represented by her kick-butt personality. Raised by a wealthy family in Tokyo, Japan, Kimiko always thrives for perfection. She often gets angry when others point out her mistakes. Kimiko and Omi are good friends, and even hugs him. Omi, of course, will always ask for another and she always says, "Sorry, one per customer." Kimiko usually uses the Star Hanabi, the Eye of Dashi and the Tangle-Web Comb in assaults along with her Judolei Flip (using her Fire element), And sometimes, she uses the monkey staff in assaults.
Raimundo Pedrosa
Raimundo from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is often jealous and hardheaded. He provides some comedic relief with his sarcastic comebacks and often comments on Omi's style of talking. After returning to the temple against Fung's orders during the assault by Mala Mala Jong to distract the monster, he wasn't given Xiaolin Apprenticeship. Because of this, he assisted Wuya to return to her body and take over the world. He realises his mistakes and returns Wuya to her ghostly form. The Dragon of Wind (like Dashi), he often combines his powers with Omi’s and Kimiko’s to make the attacks stronger. His element, wind, is a reflection personality being as "carefree as a breeze." He sometimes bullies Omi and thinks Master Fung will pick on him more because he once turned to the side of evil. Rai uses the Sword of the Storm in assaults, and the Eye of Dashi and Falcon's Eye in showdowns. His element strike is Typhoon Boom. He can combine his element with (so far) the Sword of the Storm and Eye of Dashi.
Clay Bailey
A cowboy from San Antonio ,Texas, Clay, the Dragon of Earth, is well skilled in martial arts. His element is represented by his solid and unflappable disposition. He always follows Omi's lead and is his personal backup. He knows how to insult a person, but he rarely uses this, just as his last resort. He usually uses the Fist of Tebigong and Seismic Kick against his enemies. Clay was once infected by Sebeeny, a tiny earwig-like creature, which turned him evil. Sebeeny was then defeated by Kimiko in a Showdown. Clay is extremely clever and can win any situation. His elemental attack is Seismic Kick.
Dojo Kanojo Cho
Guardian of the Scrolls of the Shen Gong Wu, Dojo is a wisecracking dragon who aids Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay on their missions. He can sense when a Shen Gong Wu has revealed itself, and can transform in size from normal (roughly equal to that of a gecko) to gigantic (and traditional Dragon-sized). He is brave and will do anything to protect the Shen Gong Wu-though has some moments of cowardice. Every 1500 years however, he needs to be locked up to prevent himself turning into a two-headed monster that has a craving for Shen Gong Wu. Last time he got out, he destroyed Atlantis. And if he does get out of control, then there will be darkness for 962 years. Dojo traditionally serves as the comic relief in the show, mostly with Shen Gong Wu related allergic reactions or humorously introducing new rules for the Showdowns. He was a friend/assistand to Grand Master Dashi and helped hide the Shen Gong Wu 1500 years ago.
Master Fung
More than a personal friend to Dojo, Master Fung is a Xiaolin Master (Stage 100). He often makes the four Dragons do very difficult tasks, encouraging teamwork. Omi looks up to him very much, and Master Fung always offers guidance with weird phrases which he apparently obtains from a desk calendar. He accepts the ways of things, and hardly ever battles unless absolutely necessary.
Jack Spicer
Jack Spicer likes to describe himself as a "Evil Boy Genius", and he seems to demonstrate his genius with his robots, helicopters and propeller-jetpacks. Jack usually watches while his robots get the Shen Gong Wu. He wants the Shen Gong Wu only for power and is plotting to use them to take over the world. However, his credibility as evil is more tenuous: Vlad reveals to Jack that he is not only the laughingstock in internet message boards, but that the phrase "You got jacked" rose out of his ineptitude. He has a sensitive side, and once he saved Omi and his friends from Wuya. Even though he is “brainless”, Jack is not really the true villain of the series. After he travels into the Yin-Yang World with the Reversing Mirror, he leaves his dominant Chi, his evil side, behind.
Jack Spicer is accompanied by (or accompanying) the evil Wuya (see below). Usually, Wuya leaves him for some cooler villain, and then Jack goes to Omi, who he knows will protect him, and tags along while the monks are saving the world. During the times that he chooses to be evil when Wuya is away, he takes with him something that can find Shen Gong Wu like a metal detector would, such as a portable detector, a robot, or a device built into whatever vehicle he'll use to travel with.

Wuya
An ancient Heylin witch, Wuya was trapped in a Chinese puzzle box by Grandmaster Dashi. She was then released by Jack Spicer, whom she needs to complete her work for her. Although she has no body, somehow she can get splashed by snow and water. Wuya orders Jack around, and is kind of getting tired of getting him to do things. She doesn’t trust his robots, and rather prefers “real” villains, including: Mala Mala Jong, Katnappe, Raksha, and Chase Young. Once, using Raimundo’s help, she turned back into her bodily form and took over the world. After, Raimundo trapped her in the Chinese puzzle box, before she was released again by Katnappé. Later, however she is restored again by Chase Young, but wasn't given her full power or else she would have taken over again. Wuya is able to be returned to her physical form by using a combination of the Serpent's Tail and Reversing Mirror. Her physical form is very powerful. None of the shen gong wu work against her. When she took over the world she said to Raimundo, "I'm so over the Shen Gong Wu," because she has powers stronger than the wu.
Lé Mime
A mime with magical powers who joins Wuya and Jack on the search for the Fist of Tebigong. He trapped Omi, Kimiko, and Raimundo in an invisible box, from which they escaped by imagining a door. He was left behind to halt Clay, but the Earth Dragon tricked him into knocking himself out while he was doing a mirror gag. Lé Mime's picture was later seen in an evil online chatroom.
Katnappe
A girl named Ashley with a serious obsession over cats and who closely resembles the Batman villainess Catwoman. Katnappe first showed up when she went downstairs to work on the Haylin side and when the Changing Chopsticks went active. She beat Omi in a showdown, then betrayed Jack and Wuya by taking the Golden Tiger Claws. She used the Claws to commit crimes, but the dragons beat her at Catantonia Land, a cat-themed amusement park. She later returned for the battle royale against the Xiaolin Warriors. She came back to free Wuya, then as Chase Young's apprentice, then as part of Jack's evil army. She also has genetically engineered super-kittens.
Tubbimura
An overweight ninja who applies to join Jack's forces. He defeats an overconfidant Raimundo, but then loses a Shen Yi Bu Dare to the Dragon of Wind. Tubbimura participated in the battle royale, this time against Clay. Tubbimura later joined Jack when Spicer was despearate for a partner. However, because of tensions between them, they broke up. Tubbimura joined Jack's army of evil, but defected to serve Chase Young.
Sapphire Dragon
Technically a Shen Gong Wu, the Sapphire Dragon most definitely constitutes a villian. When it was accidentally activated, it began turning everyone in the Xiaolin Temple into statues. As each victim fell, it became stronger. Finally, only Dojo was left. However, Dojo discovered the secret to defeating the Sapphire Dragon: soot. Bolstering his less than perfect firepower with "Grandpappy's Tin-Horn Sizzlin' Salsa Sauce" Dojo overcame the Sapphire Dragon and restored all its victims to normal. Dojo also proposed being appointed a Dragon warrior, but all the good elements were already taken. The Sapphire Dragon could be controlled by the Emperor Scopion. Fusing the Sapphire Dragon would be more powerful.
Jermaine
During an adventure in New York, the Xiaolin Warriors, Omi in particular, encounter a boy named Jermaine. Jermaine has excellent basketball skills, and helps Omi when he is separated from his friends. Jermaine then teams up with Omi in a Xiaolin Showdown against Jack Spicer, in a basketball tag team. Omi then offers him a place at the Xiaolin Temple, but Jermaine declines. He later comes to the temple, so proficient in martial arts that he is already at the third stage of Xiaolin training: Wudai Warrior. This envokes jealousy in Omi, and the two have a serious spat. Jermaine turns out to be an apprentice of Chase Young, a fact Omi began to suspect when Jermaine used "Repulse the Monkey" in a sparring match with him, since that is a move Omi himself learned from Chase Young. However, Jermaine was unaware that Chase was evil. Jermaine competes in a four-way showdown with Omi, Jack, and Tubbimura. However, when he and Omi are the last ones standing, the two work things out and tie the match. Jermaine then returns home, promising to see Omi again.
Mala Mala Jong
An ancient evil demonic warrior made up of the Two Ton Tunic, the Helmet of Jong, the Eye of Dashi, the Fist of Tebigong, the Third Arm Sash, the Jetbootsu, the Shroud of Shadows, and the Heart of Jong, he was put together by Jack and Wuya. Afterwards, Wuya replaced Jack with Mala Mala Jong and invaded the Xiaolin Temple. Jong was eventually defeated by Omi, who used the Serpent's Tail to get to the center of the Earth and retrieve the Golden Tiger Claws, with which he went inside and removed the Heart of Jong, destroying the evil threat. Jong later returned as part of an occurrence that happens every 1000 years, reuniting the Shen Gong Wu into Mala Mala Jong. Jong used the Ring of the Nine Dragons to split into the Fearsome Four, and went after the Emperor Scorpion. The Fearsome Four were commanded by Jack Spicer for a time, but were defeated by the Xiaolin Dragons.
Grand Master Dashi
The Xiaolin warrior who defeated Wuya and hid the Shen Gong Wu 1500 years ago. When Omi travels to the past, he meets Dashi, and tries to get another puzzle box. After a Showdown with a bizarre victory for Omi, Dashi tells him to do the unexpected against Wuya. When Omi finds out that he is trapped in the past, he asks Dashi for a time-traveling Shen Gong Wu. However, Dashi says that it is hidden in Europe, while Dojo says Egypt (it is actually in the Xiaolin Temple rock garden.) He tells Omi: "Wait, and the answer will come," and then departs. Dashi's spirit later appears, and echoes Dojo's statement from the first episode: "Woah, Wuya, the years have not been kind!" He turns Wuya back into her ghost form, and congratulates Raimundo. He is the most powerful force in Xiaolin Showdown, and is Omi's personal hero (Dashi also has a slight resemblance to Omi, leading to the possibility that he is Omi's ancestor).
Vlad
A vendor from Russia who infiltrated the Xiaolin Temple. Vlad at first seemed to be a friend to the Xiaolin Warriors, but tricked Omi into believing he would become evil. However, Vlad blew it by revealing how he had used the Reversing Mirror while Omi wore the Crystal Glasses, thus showing the opposite of the real future. Omi then defeated Vlad, who returned and helped Jack obtain the Haylin Seed. He then showed up again as part of Jack's New Army of Evil, but went over to Chase Young.
Pandabubba
A ruthless Hong Kong kingpin, Pandabubba entered the picture when Jack traded him the Shen Gong Wu to get a loan for robot parts. Pandabubba discovered how the Shen Gong Wu worked from a cheat sheet Jack left in the right Jetbootsu. He had plans to take over Hong Kong, but was defeated by the Xiaolin Warriors and arrested. He later returned, tricking Kimiko's father into making him a business partner. He attempted to take control of the video game company, but was beaten by Kimiko in a Xiaolin Showdown. Dresses up in a panda costume
A huge, fat, dimwitted giant. Because of his single eye, he cannot see very well, and can be quite clumsy. He has no depth perception, and his only good points are his immense strength and dark power eye beams. He later returns after Omi having beaten him using the Wings of Tanababi, and infiltrates a newly found Shen Gong Wu Hoard, and gets all the Shen Gong Wu apart from Jacks and the Xiaolin Warriors. He raids Jack and gets his Wu. Next, he infiltrates the Temple and takes the Shen Gong Wu (the Wudai Dragon Formation seemingly knocked him out, but he smashed the Xiaolin Warriors when they were celebrating). However, after defeating the rest he came up in a mystical battle: Against Master Fung! The Cyclops with ALL Shen Gong Wu and dexterious (monkey staff and Lotus Twister) was a hard opponent, but Master Fung defeated him after a long battle by using "Dragon Master Formation" which was the Xiaolin Master move (Stage 100) and defeated the Cyclops.
Master Monk Guan
A legendary martial arts master, Guan is known for his famous Spear of Guan. During a battle with Chase Young, he lost the Spear, and with it his confidence. He traded Dojo to Chase to regain the Spear, and told the Xiaolin Warriors his story when they tracked him down. When the monks were at Chase's mercy, Guan reappeared, challenging Chase to a showdown. Chase utilized many traps and martial arts maneuvers, but Guan defeated him using his special move: Repel the Beast! After that, Guan gave Omi his Spear of Guan, saying that he no longer needed it.
Chase Young
Chase Young, once on the side of good, traded his soul for a potion that keeps him forever young. He works alone, and despises Jack Spicer. He is a master at Tai Chi, and accepts when he loses, which is rare. Chase Young sometimes offers Omi help in defeating creatures like Sebeeny. His secret fortress is inside a mountain, where he lives with warriors that he has defeated and imprisoned as either tigers, panthers or lions. Chase can turn into a reptilian monster with unbelievable powers (his true form). He stole the reversing mirror and the serpent's tail and used it on Wuya. This changed her back to her real form but he didn't restore her powers because she would have taken over again.
Sabeeny
An evil, earwig like spirit, Sabeeny was trapped inside the Mosaic Scale. When Kimiko broke the Scale, she attempted to hide it in Clay's room. However, Sabeeny crawled into Clay's ear and possessed him, playing multiple pranks on the Xiaolin monks. He later formed a temporary partnership with Jack Spicer, who took him to see Chase Young. Chase and Sabeeny had already met, last having seen each other 1001 years ago. When the Xiaolin warriors went searching for Sabeeny, Omi encountered Chase Young. Chase taught Omi to use Repulse the Monkey, and gave him instructions on how to defeat Sabeeny. The warriors found Sabeeny the same time he found the Monarch Wings, which would make him immortal. Omi exhausted Clay's body, but Sabeeny crawled out and went for the Wings. Kimiko faced him in a Showdown, and he was sealed back inside the Mosaic Scale.
Raksha
When Jack's Dude-Bot throws the active Heart of Jong into a mountain crevice, it brings to live an evil snowman named Raksha. With the ability to turn into water, ice, and snow, incredible size and strength, and an extremely evil yodel, Raksha easily surpassed Jack Spicer. Of course, Wuya teamed up with him instead. When Raksha got his hands on the Lunar Locket, he blocked out the sun, covering the world in ice and snow. However, Omi defeated him in an ice hockey Xiaolin Showdown.
Dyris
A monster that looks like a mermaid while in the water, but when she is on dry ground she turns into a gigantic montorous worm-like beast. When in her mermaid form, she uses her immense beauty to seduce other to do her will. Her ultimate goal is to flood the planet and rule as Queen. She is constantly hunted by Klofange.
Klofange
An Ancient warrior who is on the hunt after Dyris, after having seen her monsterous form, he is not affected by her beauty and charm. Klofange was frozen with Dyris for years, but carries an advanced arsenal. After Omi beat Dyris in a Xiaolin Showdown, Klofange grabbed her as the ice cavern they were in collapsed, becoming trapped once again in the ice.
Gigi
A plant villian with a French accent, Gigi is grown from the Haylin Seed. Apparently the seed threatened to destroy the world, and had to be locked away. Jack managed to steal the seed, and brought it to life. Using his special pollen, Gigi turned Dojo, Master Fung, Clay and Kimiko into plants before stealing the Shen Gong Wu. He then turned on Jack and Vlad, turning them into plants as well. He then pursued Omi and Raimundo in search of the Moonstone Locust, the only Shen Gong Wu that could defeat him. He faced Rai in a Showdown, and lost.
