IMDb profile

Xiaolin Showdown is an American animated television series about Omi, a young orphaned monk-in-training from the Xiaolin Temple (a name based on the real-life Shaolin Temple), street-smart Raimundo Pedrosa from Brazil, high-tech focused Kimiko Tohomiko from Japan, and cowboy Clay Bailey from Texas who have been chosen by the Temple's head monk Master Fung to become the Xiaolin Dragons and to find and protect the sacred Shen Gong Wu, artifacts that possess great magical powers, from being taken and used by the Heylin (forces of evil), predominantly represented by the ghost of the ancient witch Wuya and her protégé Jack Spicer, evil boy genius.

The use of the artifacts is shown to be usually combined with the use of the martial arts, which are portrayed as evoking internal, mystical powers linked to the classical elements that work synergistically with the Shen Gong Wu. The show makes frequent use of Chinese culture and archetypes despite the international setting — the Xiaolin Temple is in China and the origins of most of the Shen Gong Wu all seem to be Chinese. However, the elements they use are not Chinese. Chinese Mythology refers to the 5 elements as earth, water, metal, wood, and fire. They use the Greek elements of fire, earth, water, and wind.

Shen Gong Wu

Main article: Shen Gong Wu

The focus of the series is on collecting the Shen Gong Wu, mystical artifacts that have magical powers, activated by an action of will combined with saying the artifact's name aloud.

Xiaolin Showdowns

When more than one person grabs a Shen Gong Wu at the same time, a Xiaolin Showdown occurs. Each side wagers a Shen Gong Wu he/she already owns. In some cases, the competitors invoke a Shen Yi Bu Dare, where multiple (usually two) Shen Gong Wu are wagered. The winner keeps the Shen Gong Wu that they wagered and wins both the opponent's Shen Gong Wu and the Shen Gong Wu that the Showdown was fought for, totaling five Shen Gong Wu. In some cases, when more than two people touch a Shen Gong Wu at once, a different kind of Xiaolin Showdown occurs: the Showdown Trio is a three person free-for-all, a Xiaolin Showdown Tsunami is either a two-on-two or a four person free-for-all Showdown, and an Eight-Way Xiaolin Showdown is a four-on-four Showdown. One can also call for a Cosmic Clash Showdown, allowing the caller to bring more people into the Showdown who did not touch the Shen Gong Wu. Generally, the competitors in a Xiaolin Showdown of any type use the Shen Gong Wu that they wagered to compete with. However, there have been instances where a Shen Gong Wu not wagered was used in the Xiaolin Showdown, as in "The Last Temptation of Raimundo" when Wuya used the Shroud of Shadows against the Xiaolin Warriors while she was possessing Raimundo.

The challenge in a Xiaolin Showdown can be anything, but most commonly is some sort of race to the Shen Gong Wu. When the Showdown is called, the world warps around the competitors and by-standers, and the terrain they are on becomes an extreme extent, such as a mountainside becoming a field of rock pillars, or a snowfield becoming a large snowboarding course. Some Showdowns have also affected those involved, such as gaining weight for a sumo wrestling showdown. Other contests have been games of tag, basketball, or combat. The challenge officially begins after the change, and when both (or all) combatants yell "Gong Yi Tanpai!" Then the decided contest starts. When one is victorious, the terrain returns to normal, and the winner gains possession of all of the wagered Shen Gong Wu.

"Gong Yi Tanpai!" is a Chinese way of saying "Ready, Set, Go!". Tanpai means "showdown" in Chinese, Gong is Chinese for "begin" as to attack, and Yi means "the" in Chinese, so it literally means "Begin the showdown!"

Characters

Main article: List of Xiaolin Showdown characters

Xiaolin Showdown features an extremely large cast, many of whom do not appear for more than one episode.

The Xiaolin Side

  • Omi: The Xiaolin Dragon of Water, Omi was the first dragon-in-training to train with Master Fung. At times, Omi can be selfish, but when his fellow Xiaolin Dragons are in trouble, he is always there to help them in time of need. Like Raimundo, he joined the Heylin side once. His preferred Shen Gong Wu is the Orb of Tornami, his Wudai Weapon is the Shimo Staff, and his elemental Shen Gong Wu the Kaijin Charm. Having been raised in a monastery, he is naive about the outside world. He gets idiomatic phrases messed up, from simple changes ("remove the lead" instead of "get the lead out") to lacking no resemblance to the original phrase ("I will not count my ducks before they emerge from their shells" instead of "I will not count my chickens before they hatch"), but sometimes says them correctly. It is a running gag that other characters either correct him or state that his version was not even close to the original. In one situation, Raimundo used Omi's inability to correctly state 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!".
  • Raimundo Pedrosa: The Xiaolin Dragon of Wind, Raimundo Pedrosa may be stubborn but he will do anything to protect his friends. He also knows the Heylin since he joined them twice (although once was to get some Shen Gong Wu and the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman back from Hannibal Roy Bean). 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 (2).
  • Kimiko Tohomiko: The Xiaolin Dragon of Fire, Kimiko Tohomiko is the female member of the team. Kimiko is probably the smartest and most techno-savvy member of the team. Kimiko also changes hairstyles and outfits almost every episode. 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. Not surprisingly, she has the hottest temper (generally at even the slightest provocation).
  • Clay Bailey: 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 in about every episode. His large size and sensible demeanor belie his good-humored and gentle nature. Clay has a sister named Jessie who is an outlaw, leader of the Black Vipers. 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.
  • Dojo: A shapeshifting dragon. The Xiaolin warriors' main mode of transportation and wisdom advisor, Dojo can sense Shen Gong Wu like Wuya. He has previously served Grand Master Dashi, as Omi sees him when Jack sent him back in time to find another puzzle box to trap Wuya. 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 (the Crouching Cougar, the Shen-Ga-Roo, or the Tunnel Armadillo).
  • Master Fung: The Xiaolin Warrior's Master, Master Fung can get mortified by his charges' behavior at times.
  • Master Monk Guan: A Xiaolin Master that has mastered all forms of Tai Chi. He holds the Spear of Guan. He temporarily looks over the Xiaolin Warriors' training. When Omi once used the Sands of Time to prevent Chase Young from becoming evil, he saw that Master Monk Guan turned to the Heylin side instead.
  • Jermaine: A streetwise basketball player from New York that helped Omi to obtain the Serpent's Tail. At one time, Jermaine was on the side of the Xiaolin and Heylin at the same time without knowing it. He was once Chase Young's apprentice so he knows many skills like Omi and when he joined the Xiaolin team, he was immediately made a Wudai Warrior. He has not been seen in the series, again, since.
  • Grand Master Dashi: The Greatest Xiaolin Dragon that ever lived (so far) trapped Wuya in a puzzle box 1,500 years ago. He also is the creator of all of the Shen Gong Wu

The Heylin Side

  • Jack Spicer: The Xiaolin Warriors' biggest and most annoying nemesis, Jack Spicer is most famous for his robotic engineering, long rants, overuse of the word "evil" and his repetitive self-proclamation of "evil boy genius". When affected by returning from the Ying-Yang World without both the Ying Yo-Yo and the Yang Yo-Yo, he becomes so good and full of Pollyannaish optimism that if anything he is even more annoying. His preferred Shen Gong Wu is the Monkey Staff. It was the only one that he did not sell to PandaBubba in exchange for robot parts. It is also the only Shen Gong Wu he is left with at the end of the series).
  • Wuya: 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, but when combining the Serpent's Tail with the Reversing Mirror, Wuya can create a physical form (the Serpent's Tail turns a person intangible and the Reversing Mirror reverses the effects of another Shen Gong Wu, thus giving her a tangible body). She, like Dojo, has the ability to sense a Shen Gong Wu's revealing, although she does not need the Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu to determine what it does. She later gets Raimundo to join her but he joins back with the Xiaolin later on.
  • Katnappe: A crafty cat burglar with many Catwoman references, Katnappe has made numerous appearances in about 4 episodes. Katnappe also has a large collection of cats in her home, including genetically modified kittens that she often uses as weapons/henchmen. However, when she does ally herself with the Heylin, she is not exactly trustworthy or loyal.
  • Tubbimura: Tubbimura is a fat ninja who is surprisingly agile and can manipulate his folds of fat like a gelatinous blob. Tubbimura was hired by Jack to retrieve the Sword of the Storm. Tubbimura occasionally does odd jobs for the Heylin whenever possible.
  • The Chameleon-Bot: One of Jack Spicer's robots, the Chameleon-Bot is Jack's strongest robot and a master of disguise. It is able to take the forms of the Xiaolin Warriors, Master Fung, Jack Spicer, Wuya, and others and is able to extend its arms and spin his waist. It was originally used to disguise itself as Kimiko so it could steal the Xiaolin's Shen Gong Wu
  • PandaBubba: A crooked syndicate boss, PandaBubba was planning to use the Shen Gong Wu to take over the world, a plan that didn't go well with the monks and Jack Spicer. He looks like a big panda bear (hence the name). Panda Bubba made 2 appearances in the series (Pandatown, & The Return of PandaBubba). He fought Kimiko and Raimundo for Shen Gong Wu but both monks retrieved the Shen Gong Wu back to the Xiaolin side.
  • Mala Mala Jong: Mala Mala Jong is a warrior composed out of the Helmet of Jong, the Third-Arm Sash, the Shroud of Shadows, the Fist of Tebigong, the Eye of Dashi, the Two-Ton Tunic, the Jetbootsu and most importantly, the Heart of Jong, all held together by a field of either fire or plasma. Jong can be summoned at will or automatically summoned every 1,000 years. With the Ring of the Nine Dragons, Mala Mala Jong can split into 4 different beings that made up the Fearsome Four. Since Mala Mala Jong is composed of Shen Gong Wu, he can be controlled through the Emperor Scorpion.
  • Chase Young: Introduced in the second season as an even bigger threat than Jack Spicer, Chase Young controls an armada of therianthropic warriors (mostly 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, he was obsessed with turning Omi to the Heylin side since then he would have enough power to rule the world. He was turned to the Heylin side when Hannibal Roy Bean convinced him to drink the Lao Mang Long Soup.
  • Hannibal Roy Bean: Hannibal is a mutated bean (who for some reason speaks with a Southern drawl) that is good at being an outlaw. He possesses the Moby Morpher and travels around on the Ying-Ying Bird. About 1,500 years ago, Hannibal succeeded in bringing Chase Young over to the Heylin side by convincing him to drink the Lao Mange Long Soup.
  • Cyclops: He is an enormous, fat, red, and dim-witted giant. Because of his single eye, he has no depth perception, and can be quite clumsy. He can also fire a beam of dark energy from his eye.
  • Vlad: A vendor from Russia who joins the Xiaolin Warriors, but he truly had joined with Jack Spicer and he helped steal various unknown Shen Gong Wu. He was seen in the crystal glasses episode along with a couple other episodes.

Techniques learned

  • Wudai Orion Formation — like Dragon X-Kumei, but they appear in a monochromic color with colored outlines. Learned during Wudai Warrior level.
  • The Monks and The Color of their Outlines:
    • Omi — Blue (Dragon X-Kumei); White (Wudai Orion)
    • Kimiko — Red
    • Raimundo — White (Dragon X-Kumei); Blue (Wudai Orion)
    • Clay — Green
    • In Dragon X-Kumei, Raimundo's color is white, and Omi's is blue, but they switched in Wudai Orion (with Raimundo's outline as light blue).
  • Wudai Iron Palm — A combined Wudai attack that has only been used once. The details of this attack are very vague, but it seems that this technique increases their power and strength to the point that they can break rocks with their bare hands.
    • Omi's Moves: Water, Tsunami Strike (later changed to Tornado Strike), Monkey Strike, Wudai Neptune — Water, Ice, Steam (Omi has also learned "Heylin Power - Tsunami Strike -- Water" and "Heylin Power - Tsunami Water Blade -- Ice" while on the Heylin side). In 'The Emperor Scorpion Strikes Back', Omi does the 'Monkey Strike' against The Fearsome Four.
    • Kimiko's Moves: Fire, Judolette Flip, Torrent of Fire (used at the beginning of 'The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean' against Wuya), Wudai Fire Shield and Wudai Mars — Fire
    • Raimundo's Moves: Wind, Typhoon Boom, One-Eyed Wind (used at the end of 'Saving Omi' to attack Chase Young), Wudai Star — Wind.
    • Clay's Moves: Earth, Seismic Kick and Wudai Crater — Earth.

It is also noted that during the episode Wu Got The Power, Omi temporarily learned the Wudai Crater - Earth, Wudai Star - Wind, and Wudai Mars - Fire techniques, while using the Longhorn Taurus, Crest of the Condor, and Cat's Eye Draco, respectively. Doing this caused him to have a surplus of elemental energy, which was worn down later in the episode. Omi now only retains his Water techniques.

It is assumed that anybody using one of the Elemental Shen Gong Wu is capable of using its respective Wudai Technique, though this has not been confirmed, as Omi is the only warrior to date who has worn one other than his own, the Kaijin Charm.

Other Magic Besides Shen Gong Wu

Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu: This magical scroll that Dojo was entrusted with guarding for 1,500 years contains information on every Shen Gong Wu including the magical powers a specific Shen Gong Wu possesses and how it can be used with other Shen Gong Wu. The Scroll itself is magical because on the section for each Shen Gong Wu, there is an unexplained animation of figures showing how the specific Shen Gong Wu is used.

The Puzzle Box: Any simple pebble in the hands of a great Xiaolin Grand Master Dragon can be turned into a magical puzzle box that can trap any person inside and reduce them to a ghost. According to Dashi, the box will only open when the person who needs to open it, opens it. There have been two puzzle boxes in the history of Xiaolin Showdown, and both were used to trap Wuya within them. The first was used by Dashi 1500 years ago in the first Xiaolin Showdown, and Raimundo used the second after Omi went into the past to retrieve the second puzzle box from Grand Master Dashi.

Le Mime's Tricks: The French mime in Like a Rock!, Le Mime, uses real mime tricks to lure and capture enemies. Hired by Jack Spicer in an attempt to get the Fist of Tebigong.

Grand Pappy's Texas Tin Horn Sizzlin' Salsa: Although not specifically noted as magical, this hot sauce has strange, near magical qualities. When submerged in lava it has extremely explosive qualities, and when consumed by Dojo, it allowed him to produce a massive blast of fire from his mouth, which allowed him to defeat the Sapphire Dragon.

Spear of Guan: The Spear of Guan is a jagged spear used by Master Monk Guan and given to Omi and Raimundo. There is a whole room full of these spears. It appeared many times. However, it was only Heylin in 'Time after Time' where Monk Guan became evil aided by Wuya, Chase Young and Hannibal Roy Bean. Soon almost all the evil characters encountered in the series such as Jack Spicer, Vlad and Tubbimura joined the four Heylin warriors.

The Lao Mang Long Soup: The Lao Mang Long Soup is an ancient Heylin potion that once drunk turns the person to the Heylin Side. The user of the Soup trades their soul for eternal youth. Once the user has traded their soul and has been placed on the Heylin Side, they become a form of a monster. If the user does not drink the soup everyday, he/she will turn into this monster. Apparently, one can also turn into the monster at any moment. Its ingredients are a cup of wheat grass juice, a tablespoon of salt, a pinch of dried frog, and, of course, one whole dragon (known as Long in Chinese), such as Dojo. The alternate form's appearance varies from person to person. This fact is shown in "Time After Time (2)": while Chase Young turns into a lizard, Master Monk Guan becomes an insect-lizard-like creature.

Heylin Seed: A puny seed that holds a huge and powerful plant (which Jack named Gigi). It almost destroyed the world 1500 years ago.

Heylin Comet: A special comet that will affect the Shen Gong Wu, giving the Wu a mind of its own. It was shown by Raimundo after he came back from his hometown in Brazil after saving it, and after removing the Sword of the Storm, he was unable to take the Golden Tiger Claws off.

The Year of the Green Monkey: One special year is made for the power of monkeys, green monkeys. Their power is ripe and terrible. It happened once in the show so far in The Year of the Green Monkey where Jack (using the Monkey Staff) commanded them to attack the Xiaolin Temple.

The Bird of Paradise: The Bird of Paradise is actually not at all a bird, but an old lady who cannot sing very well. The Bird has a lot of mastered ability. Rumor says that the Bird can crush buildings and do other terrible things, but when the Monks reach her, they are given true inner-powers.

  • Moving Trees & Fire-breathing Squirrels: Some of the guardians of the Bird of Paradise. The Moving Trees attacked the Monks and Jack as they moved through the Valley of Death. The Moving Trees resulted in revealing Clay's incredible Earth Wudai Powers. The Fire-breathing Squirrels attacked the Monks as well and kept Jack captive in a nest. Considering Omi's one fear is of squirrels he mostly stayed out of the battle but when Kimiko was in danger, he put his fears aside. The Squirrels revealed Kimiko's burning Fire Wudai Powers. The result of the flames set on the trees around revealed Omi's magnificent Water Wudai Powers combined with Raimundo's 'breezy' Wind Wudai Powers.
  • The Leaf: The Leaf was the key to getting the Bird. By being put in water, the leaf points the direction of the Bird. Usually Omi was the one to use the Leaf with his Water Powers. The Leaf also seems to have feelings of its own.

The Ying-Ying Bird: Hannibal Roy Bean's bird. It can travel in and out of the Ying-Yang World at will. It sometimes changes into a parrot for cover.

Wudai Weapons (Dispute between Shen Gong Wu or just Magical Objects)

  • OmiShimo Staff, a staff which changes into other weapons at will.
  • KimikoArrow Sparrow, a purse-like object which carries metal, flaming sparrows that can be thrown and will blow up in a fiery explosion.
  • RaimundoBlade of the Nebula, a blue, jagged version of the Sword Of The Storm which turn into powerful nunchaku and can be used to throw the opponent around. It is also used to make Raimundo fly by creating a tornado.
  • ClayBig Bang Meteorang, a bronze boomerang so extremely powerful it is able to cut through anything. It is also capable of multiplying for multiple attacks.

Heylin Eclipse: An eclipse named after the Heylin Side. It affects some parts of the Heylin Side. Most notably, it affects Chase Young.

Xiaolin Stages (So Far)

Monk - Others living at the Xiaolin Temple. May or may not have magical powers like the Dragons. They are seen using bows, fire arrows, and spears (or halbeards) against Mala Mala Jong on his first attack on the temple.

Dragon-in-training - Not capable of a lot of power, just using one's element to boost attacks.

Xiaolin Apprentice - Capable of bigger amounts of power; using elements with a corresponding attack and Shen Gong Wu. At the Apprentice level, the Warriors gain a new type of ability - the Dragon X-Kumei Formation - that can multiply their 'Apprentice Powers'. Identified by a blue sash.

Wudai Warrior - Capable of huge amounts of strength and power; using elements with attacks, weapons, and power-ups or enhancers. In addition, a special form is acquired which could be called a Wudai or Orion form, allowing the user to boost his or her elemental power. The look of this form is pretty much a black silhouette of the person with a colored outline, the color connected to the element (Blue-Raimundo, Red-Kimiko, Silver-Omi, and Green-Clay). Identified by an aqua sash. This form makes its debut in season three and it seems the user can change into it via the Orion Formation. Though in the Episode Dream Stalker, Raimundo is the only one to change into it without the formations help, but it is most likely that he was able to since he was fighting in his dream world, and just about anything can happen there.

Shoku Warrior - Is the leader of the Xiaolin group and is the one who makes all the decisions. Further abilities are unknown. Raimundo is promoted to this level at the end of the episode "Time After Time (2)". A black robe and a golden sash identify this level.

Master - Master Fung's stage. He has probably mastered half of a Master Monk.

Master Monk - Has mastered all tai chi forms. The only known individual of this level is Master Monk Guan.

Grandmaster - The ultimate stage of the Xiaolin. Not fully explained, but a Grandmaster Dragon is so extremely talented they can turn a pebble into a puzzle box capable of trapping a certain Heylin witch, but this is only one of many unknown abilities. The only known individual of this level is Grand Master Dashi, who lived more than 1,500 years ago.

Symbolism in Xiaolin Showdown

Forehead dots

Several characters are seen with having mysterious dots on their forehead. Omi has nine white dots, in three rows of three. Master Monk Guan has six, two rows of three standing on the width; his are yellow. One of the elder monks in the Xiaolin Temple had the same pattern as Master Monk Guan, as seen in the episode with the Sapphire Dragon. When Master Monk Guan showed Omi the scroll that showed a large shadow along with a goat-demon enslaving Chase Young to evil, the shadow had four dots as a square in his debut.

Omi also has three rows of three red dots balancing on a corner, when he turned evil and left behind his good chi in the Ying-Yang world, they became a diamond shape. When Omi turned into a cat, the essence of Omi made Chase Young stronger, which is how he got his dots. However, when the Xiaolin Warriors defeated him in the showdown, Omi got his dots back and Chase Young lost his.

In the series, the dots that appear on the aforementioned characters have never been explained. However, they are most likely the representing of a warrior's chi, but only the most powerful warriors (or only the warriors destined for greatness) will have these dots.

Four is considered an unlucky number in Chinese culture because the Mandarin and Cantonese word for four sounds like the word for death. Continuing with this numerological interpretation, the Mandarin and Cantonese word for three sounds like the word for life. In addition, to a Buddhist monk, three represents the Three Jewels.

The Taijitu

A stylized taijitu (more commonly known as the yin-yang) can be seen in nearly every episode, as yin and yang are important beliefs in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The taijitu can be seen primarily in the center of the Reversing Mirror, but it has also shown up as a crater on the moon, in clouds, and many other places.

Overall Showdown record

Out of all Xiaolin Showdowns fought in this show as of episode 52, (regular showdowns, generic Xiaolin Showdowns, Shen Yi Bu Dares and All-Ins, Trios, Tsunamis, and Cosmic Clashes) the Xiaolin side has the better record over the Heylin with an astonishing 42 wins to the Heylin's 11. Dashi's challenge to Omi was not counted, nor was Raimundo's against Omi, both because they were technically fought between one side. Another showdown that is ruled out is the one where Jack Spicer fought the Chameleon-Bot. Like the aforementioned Raimundo vs. Omi match, the Xiaolin Dragons all thought that they had one person on their side; Raimundo was actually on the Xiaolin Side, and Chameleon-Bot, who was masquerading as Kimiko, was truly on the Heylin Side. But to balance it out, while the Xiaolin warriors have won many of the Showdowns, the Heylin side (Jack Spicer specifically) has stolen many of the Shen Gong Wu back (only to lose it later in Showdowns).

Season Four

Despite being a popular show, Warner Bros has not showed any signs of having a fourth season of Xiaolin Showdown. Some fans believe that there will be a fourth season, as none of the main antagonists have met any sort of final defeat, as well as mentions of Raimundo's duties as leader only beginning, the open-ended amount of Shen Gong Wu, and it was promoted as a season finale. However, the close-ended finale to the third season, a musical number, a great battle, and the majority of the Shen Gong Wu held by the side of the Xiaolin gives some closure to the series. It is said that the third season ended without a cliffhanger because of the writers' lack of knowledge as to whether or not the show was renewed for another season.

Recently, an advertisement at the Toywiz page for Xiaolin Showdown states that a new season of Xiaolin Showdown will start on September 17. [1] However, this is an outdated banner from 2005 announcing the third season (September 17 falls on a Sunday in 2006, and fell on a Saturday in 2005). Similarly, there has been a Postopia.com tie-in, in which there are "sneak peeks" for new Shen Gong Wu (Fifi-Xiaogo and Genie Moo) that may appear in the fourth season also Shen Gong Wu from the Trading Card Game, should it be made.

Despite all of the updates to the series outside of the television medium, it appears that Xiaolin Showdown may have been cancelled, according to an interview with one of the animators, as posted at News-a-rama. However, some fans believe this news to be fake or otherwise unreliable. ToonZone however, states that the show will continue to air, but the fall schedule merely has reruns.

According to a commercial in Kids' WB! in September 16, 2006 that the new season of Xiaolin Showdown will start September 23, 2006. However, the episode airing on September 23 is still Sizing Up Omi. This indicates that Xiaolin Showdown will most likely not return, and it may have been cancelled.
