WAIT... Remember Xiaolin Showdown? 

Thanks so much for watching! Would you be interested in a video on Xiaolin Chronicles? Let me know! **Edit: yes, I know I said WuYu instead of WuYa. My brain jumbled up the letters in my head, I’m sorry I did not catch it before I released the video. I promise to be more thorough to catch mispronunciations or verbal mess ups in my work. Thanks!**

Kimiko was the only animated character I ever saw as a kid who had more then one outfit. Some times she would have a new outfit in each episode. I liked that

Dude, this show was incredible. Between this and Jackie Chan Adventures, we were truly blessed with martial arts based animated adventures with a goal of tracking down magical macguffins.

One of the best things about this show is sometimes they lost, and as a kid it hit different seeing the bad guy fly off with both artifacts. Its a tough lesson to learn as a kid. But that episode helped me comprehend the idea of losing a little better.

Raimundos turn to evil always struck with me because it was the first time I had ever seen a good guy turn evil just because. No mind control or tricks. He just decided to be evil and wuya kept her word and gave him all she promised

Jack Spicer was one of the greatest villains of all time XD. Yeah, he was the "Joke Villain", but not only he was great at that, the guy was also REALLY competent. We don't think much about his robots since they were broken easily, but the guy was constantly making machines that gave him a chance in a 1v4 at his disadvantage against martial artists with supernatural powers, winning in the end a good amount of times. And he also created some REALLY amazing things, like a working time-machine, or that doppelganger robot. And, of course, we can't forget that he was ALWAYS on the move and with some plan. And not silly plans that wouldn't amount to anything because he was a "Joke Villain", he was constantly making deals with other villains (Which he was prepared and planning to backstab), finding ways to steal things from the temple where the protagonists kept their magic artifacts (With an amazing rate of success), and even spying on the serious big bads (With not so much success as the previous one XD). This guy did all of that while being literally the weakest of them all, whose only partner was a backstabbing witch that literally throws him away to moment it's convenient for her, and leaving him alone for a while in more than one ocassion. Damn, there was also a story where it was shown that, in a world where Omi disappeared, the final winner at the end would be Jack. Not the rest of the protagonists, not the 1500 years-old all-powerful witch, not the unstoppable genius martial artist that sold his soul for power, nobody else but Jack himself. Jack Spicer is the "Joke Villain" made into perfection.

Everything about this show was absolutely golden. I still reference Clay's iconic line, "Its not your weight, its how you throw it around." to this day. Also, Jack Spicer and Wu Ya are villains goals.

Every once in a while, something just flashes in my brain and in my head I say “TWO TON TUNIC!”

This, Code Lyoko, and Totally Spies made for the best after-school treat back in the day on the Miguzi block on Cartoon Network. It'd be cool if you talked about the other two in the future, and maybe even a video dedicated to the Miguzi block as a whole, as it's an obscure but really unique part of CN history that a lot of people may have unsurfaced memories of.

Chase Young is such an amazing Villain in the series and Raimundo had such an amazing character development

The pictures of Markipliar as you call him Jacksepticeye really gets me. I love it lol.

I remember when they went to Clay's home in Texas and Clay's dad told them to be up at the crack of dawn. Raymundo said he's "more of a noon kinda guy". That line always spoke to me on an emotional level.

I like how Jack Spicer was both comic relief but also had signs of being really formidable. Also can we agree that Chase smiling whenever Jack fanboys is a little wholesome?

My favorite part: "The villain they fight the most is Jack Spicer" *Shows picture of Markiplier "No, that's Jacksepticeye."

Honestly my all time favorite show as a kid. Loving how the characters grow and evolve as people. Raimundo’s character growth will always be my fave. I’m glad that people still hold this show close to their hearts ♥️ the shows traveling all over the world was always a treat as when when they went to places that I knew I’d get so excited

I like how wuya was always a genuine threat. even though the other villains talk down to her a lot, it's only with the caveat that she can't use her powers. whether it be chase or Hannibal bean, they were all terrified of the possibility of her being at full power.

I'm 22 and Xiaolin Showdown is still my favourite cartoon. I got really excited when Chronicles was announced. It's a shame it was... Ummm... I don't know how to be nice about Xiaolin Chronicles... They tried, I guess...? Let's just call it a spin-off alternate timeline that's non-canon and call it a day, yeah?

I also loved the art style! Especially the villains like Jack have such iconic designs.

LOVED this series as a kid. When Wya got her physical form back it was chilling to me as a kid.

The biggest surprise here is that the creator of the show is actively making another revival sequel. I imagine it will follow the same core of characters again but as young adults this time around. They just have to get rid of the Omi clone or actively have him in the sidelines for this new project. Not to mention giving the main four characters the main spotlight again and reduce the over flanderization both the heroes and villains went through in Chronicles. If they manage to accomplish this, then I can see this new sequel being successful since the characters will pretty much have grown up with the audience. A sequel of that nature can be something we never got with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Imagine the possibilities.

I didn't even know this series was canceled. It had a pretty memorable season finale that tied up Omi and Rai's (basically the protagonists) characters nicely. As a kid, I was sad that it ended, but I assumed they had collected all the magic items and simply went on to defeat all the bad guys. I can't imagine how else it could continue.

This channel makes me realize how many shows I watched as a kid. There's gotta be like 50+ right now. How did I have the time and memory to keep up with everything lol

Fun fact! Jake was originally going to be a xiaolin monk of metal. But he was kept as a villain. The more you know

I watched this on WB and CN. It honestly reminded me a bit of The Last Airbender where you have an animated series released in the west but with plenty of Eastern mythology and inspirations. I love this show. I still remember when Wuya became her old self and replied to Omi by saying "in the flesh". That line always creeped me out as a kid.

Uh, yeah..I remember Xiaolin Showdown. It's another show that I remember trying to convince my childhood best friend (who's now very much not that) to check out. Man, he really missed out being so stubborn about certain stupid things.

To me, Xiaolin Showdown had one of the best voice casts in cartoon history Tara Strong, Tom Kenny, Grey Delisle, and Jeff Bennet

Raimundo and chase young were the love of my lives. And I really wanted Jerome to be a main character. I also liked how Raimundo became the leader and not Omi like you would expect

God, I loved Xiaolin Showdown! It was such an awesome gem, and I realize it's part of why I liked Avatar when I started. I have so many stark memories of random Xiaolin Showdowns - they were so iconic! This is definitely getting a rewatch from me! I loved the international cast, the art and martial arts, and how awesome and fun the "evil" cast was, too! I especially loved how cool and Jack-of-all-Trades Kimiko was - she reminded me of Mimi from Digimon and Daphne from Scooby-Doo. The show also reminded me of Zatch Bell with it's international cast and a masked, purple-coded, feminine spirit.

I rewatched this show recently and I'm happy it's one of the few that genuinely holds up. I think the way they lean on the "more than just a girl" trope for Kimiko is the only real blemish, but the villains, action, the entire development of Omi & Raimundo's characters are well-done even by adult standards

Interesting fact that I have no idea how true it is: because the characters were based off of the Chinese Elements (minus Raimundo's Wind) there was an idea of making Jack the next Xiaolin Monk of Metal. Considering the amount of episodes that tried showing his good side, I can believe this. Though I think I would miss him as a villain.

I'm loving the fact that it's almost 2022 and there are still videos being posted on RU-vid about this great show! Glad to see I'm not the only one who still has love for Xiaolin Showdown. I just turned 30 and this is still one of my all time favorite tv shows. I loved everything about it and have a lot of great memories associated with it. Thank you for posting this!

I was OBESSED with this show as a kid! Jack Spicer was my first major cartoon crush. ❤

This was always one of my favorite shows as a kid. I really enjoy the “monster of the week” or “item” in this case, if the creators were really good with the ideas. Beautiful execution

This was genuinely one of my favorite shows growing up. This, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Yu-Gi-Oh were basically the only reasons to watch WB as a kid.

🙂 this show was the shit, loved the characters of the show and the development of them throughout the show. Each warrior had their own arc and the villains although goofy were still pretty interesting. ✊🏾 Jordan you are a legend for talking about this underrated art. Still love this show to this day so I could never forget it lol

Raimundo is quite an iconic character. Well-written and complex character.

You've hit the mark to many times. This is the 9th or 10th video YT recommended me where you discussing an absolute banger and a few of them were mad obscure. Def earned my sub.

Do I remember? It's one of the select few I never even _forgot_ One of the coolest shows of my childhood Also Jack Spicer was the one "villain" I could never hate as a kid

I remember watching the reruns on Cartoon Network (I thought it was a completely new show at the time) and I absolutely loved this show as a kid! I had the video game and I liked that too, although I wasn't aware of the card games until today. I've heard about Chronicles, but I haven't watched it because I have no idea on where to watch it. But thanks for this nostalgic slap in the face, Jordan!

I remember watching this show as a kid and when I was in college, wondered if it would hold up. Short version, it held up; long version, the cast was diverse and easy to like, the animation and fighting scenes were spot on and the story was good (I was surprised how often episodes ended on a satisfactory note even our heroes didn’t always win the day).

Omg jordan I can not express how happy I am, I have been trying to remember this show for YEARS. Thank you so much for doing what you do and helping me remember a big part of my childhood.

Remember? I had a whole phase revolving around this show. It got me so hype. Chronicles tried to ruin my childhood and crush my dreams but I quit at episode 1 knowing I wanted it to stay a fond memory.

This is the lifelong fandom show for me, watching it as a child truly impacted my life and gave me somewhere to go mentally when real life was shit. Even in middle/high school I was making a fan comic consistently for a few months based on it (which tbh I’ve been sporadically working on redoing) I can’t escape this show even if I tried and Chronicles pains me so so much but I’d still watch your vid on it if you released one.

I personally want to thank you because I’ve had this show on my mind for months now and soon as I found your channel I knew you’d have a video or retrospective on it and as I searched I found and just on the search for this video you unlocked so much if my childhood I almost cried I’m trying 26 in a few weeks so most of these 00s shows is afar I grew up on and I’m glad ppl can appreciate it like other nostalgic times

This show was my ADDICTION in 3rd 4th and 5th grade!! I can still flash back to a moment in time when I was walking from 1 class period to the next, and kids of all sizes would crowd the halls and, being that I was so short, I couldn't really see the other side, so I would imagine Kimiko's head among the crowds and pretend that we were classmates but I'd never talked to her because she was the popular girl and I was just the quiet kid who daydreamed all day, and all these scenarios would happen in my head at school all throughout 4th and 5th grade before coming home to watch Xiaolin showdown.

Xiaolin Showdown underrated I remember this and Juniper Lee came on Cartoon Network back to back.

Man I loved Jack Spicer as a kid He was such a fun character!

You have finally unlocked a hidden memory. I can finally die in peace.

Great video, I loved this show! Seeing a Brazilian character in a mainstream show meant something to me. He even had the most well developed arc!

Xiolin Showdown was amazing! It basically gave important character development to 3 characters (Omi, Rey, and Jack), but throughout was so entertaining and as a kid loved just watching to see the next weapon introduced and how they were used.

Omg, this was my favorite show growing up alongside my younger siblings. We have a group chat on a play of Fist of Tebigong spanning over 10 years now!

I love your channel. Sooo much nostalgia

I love the show as a kid. The visuals are pretty cool, the martial arts are mind-blowing, there was a funny scene (when Dojo started to go on a rampage, and he tries to swallow Wuya and Jack Spicer) I laughed so hard, tears burst from my eyes. I recall seeing one episode of Xiaolin Chronicles, I thought Ping Pong was Omi’s long lost relative cousin. Looking forward to watch your next essay about Xiaolin Chronicles. Happy Holidays.

This and American Dragon: Jake Long were 2 of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I also hated when both shows decided to change their art styles out of nowhere.

Man I love this channel this is easy to find my childhood it’s been 8 years and I remember my childhood.

Your channel keeps bringing up old memories I forgot I had

The villains of Xiaolin Showdown were just as awesome as the heroes, I loved this show so much 🙏

This one and Code Lyoko are like my childhood gems I feel like nobody else watched

This was like the first show I watched that had more arc than just being episodic. The character development was totally new to me and I really enjoyed it.

Amazing little throwback, but! How could you not mention the epic finale that spanned through episodes? It was bussin. Along with the other multiple-episode stories in the show. I loved it when the series sailed away from its episodic format to build a greater lore.

This show was fantastic and I’d love to see some individual episode breakdowns of it.

I remember watching these shows you cover with my grandfather and I’ve just been floating in nostalgia for most of the afternoon

Your videos are crushing my soul with nostalgia

i had no idea there was a second series following this. I absolutely loved Xiaolin showdown and wouls love a breakdown of chronicles

I remember really liking the characters and always drawing them when I was younger. Another great video Jordan.

wow! I love this channel ❤ thanks for the throwbacks

You know what I’m really starting to realize by watching your channel? When we were kids we had an extremely diverse set of cartoons and shows to choose from. We had characters of all races, cultures, nationalities, social status, and religions. None of them were forced and ALL of them were SO GOOD. It’s such a shame that studios couldn’t see they didn’t need to basically put a disclaimer in every scene that they were “being inclusive” to be inclusive.

I can't believe that this show is over 18 year old now. God, I feel older than I should. Also, I am still thrown by the fact that Tom Kenny is Raimundo. I hear it, but at the same time I don't. Probably because I don't hear the iconic SpongeBob laugh. Anyway, I still love Xiaolin Showdown to this day. I even still have the copy of the video game I bought way back when. I used to always play as Raimundo because he was my favorite, but I eventually played through as Omi, Kimiko, and Clay; mainly because I wanted to unlock all of their alternate costumes and see what they all looked like in street clothes. I have yet to completely play through the game as either Jack or Chase though. I know a lot of people, myself included, got really sick of Omi's bitch ass attitude more than halfway through the show; and that seeing Raimundo thoroughly beat his ass during his second brief stint on the Heylin side was pure bliss; but I think Omi is still a good kid. I especially love how he and Raimundo grew to become such close friends. Even when Omi was busting Rai's balls and making him feel small, he still never doubted Rai's integrity or character. Hell, the first time Rai turned to the Heylin side, Omi was convinced that he was acting because of how much faith he had in him. This, ironically, turned out to be the case the second time around. Also, when Omi turned evil as a result of using the Yin Yo-Yo, he was only able to briefly snap out of it after seeing Rai cry. And who can forget how Omi bowed in respect when Rai was named Team Leader at the end of the original show? I couldn't get into Xiaolin Chronicles when it first aired because I just saw it as another shameless sequel created as a cash grab, but now I'm thinking I should at least try to give it a chance.

This channel is the definition of nostalgia, and for that I’m subscribing. Never expected a show like this to be talked about

Those little segways into and coming from the commercial break brought so much nostalgia to me. Just remembering the excitement I felt back when I heard those words “A second episode of *show* is coming up next!” Thank you for these blasts from the past.

Ngl Subscribed as soon as I saw the title hitting me with absolute nostalgia before even watching the video lol the fact that someone is gonna review it or talk about it already earns a subscription in my books

I was reminded of “The Secret Show” this morning, so that may be a fun show to revisit. I remember enjoying Changed Daily’s name change every episode as a kid.

So many fond memories of this show! The artstyle is just amazing. Love the writing too. Had no idea it had a spinoff though!

I've had a scene from this show keep popping into my head this year and I couldn't remember what it was from, you've saved me!

I remebered watching this forgotten show. Loved it. Thank you for the reminder!

I really love the show especially chase young

I still like this show a lot. I remember being cautiously excited for Chronicles. But it was highly disappointing. Chronicles couldn't seem to decide if it was a continuation or a reboot, since both possibilities seemed implied. I hope this new Xiaolin project ignores Chronicles altogether and just continues Showdown. With the old voice actors, if possible.

Brought back a memory I forgot I had Thank you man

besides the fun fights and cool artifacts, most of what I remember was having a HUGE crush on clay as a kid

Oh yes! I remember Xiaolin Showdown. I used to watch it every Saturday morning as a kid, same with Jackie Chan Adventures. Though I was very young when this first aired (and sometimes missed episodes) and didn't fully understand what was going on sometimes. I would really like to rewatch this show so I can see the whole story

This show was underated as fuck

This channel makes me glad I'm not alone

YT recommended your channel clicked this video cuz i remembered this show and loved it!

Ah I loved this as a kid! Watched it a lot on Kids WB after school, I really loved Dojo since I’ve always been into dragons and loved how he could talk and change sizes. Also, I could totally be wrong, but didn’t the reboot(ish) series Xiaolin Chronicles show Dojo as being a yellow dragon and not green like in the original? Or was it supposed to be a different dragon? I haven’t seen it.

this was one of the few shows that was actually better than i remember, the continuity and change in stakes between episodes is VERY tight and that was not common in western cartoons before AT:LA

My all time top 3 cartoons growing up: 1. Avatar, legend of Aang 2. Xiaolin Showdown 3. Martin Mystery

Every so often a memory from this show pops up and I had no idea what show it was from... until now! Pretty cool series, every showdown was always a thrill and the fact that the main characters lose quite a few of them, thereby losing the artifact they already had, was a nice touch to make things feel truly dynamic, along with being a teachable moment as another commenter mentioned.

This this is it folks! Thee show I was obsessed with as a kid, y'know I was running around outside acting like I was in the show

Absolutely love your channel!!!

This along with Johnny test, chowder, flapjack were my absolute favorites. I absolutely loved the gadgets in them. So glad i found your channel because i just remembered these that i watched what seems like a lifetime ago

I’ve been looking for this show for YEARS! And somehow this video made its way to my recommendations…

Holy shit I totally forgot this show existed until I saw the thumbnail. Loved watching this on Saturdays growing up! Thanks for the nostalgia kick

I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and I've yet to stop watching. I literally have your videos playing for my entire work shift. You gotta get some merch of you drawn in different animation styles for the shows you've reviewed or something.

Jordan: Remember Xiaolin Showdown? Me, who recently rewatched this show 3 times over: Yeah, I've... I've heard of it. But really, this is one of my favorite shows, met my best friend through it (well, it was mostly 'cuz of our mutual love for Jack but you get the idea 😂). Honestly wish I could've joined you for this one.

This was one of my favorite show back in the day,and might have to re watch this man.

OH MY GOD this show is so nostialgic i remember going to my cousins house and watching this with my cousin

This man is doing a service to the community.. Bringing back so many childhood memories!

You were right about the art style and whatnot, this stuff looks beautiful. It's both unique and looks like every video game ever but enhanced

This Chanel literally re capping my whole child hood !!

This was the show that introduced into the wonderful and terrifying world of fandom. First fanfiction, fanart, I discovered what ships were and so so much more....I have so much notalgia for this show, it was also one of the first that I watched aside from Avatar that I could as a kid feel STAKES
