  • Is Raimundo serious?

    Okay, so in this episode, Omi, Kimiko and Clay are training in there apprentice level, while a bored Raimundo can only watch. Raimundo is down about the situation, and Omi only makes it worse, all leading to Raimundo leaving. Wuya shows up and tries to talk Raimundo into joining her, but he decides its best for him to leave. He comes back to the temple in time to hear about the new sgw that Wuya told him about. The monks go to get it, but so does Jack, and Raimundo faces him in a Xiaolin Showdown and wins. However, he didn't mean to when it for the team, as he goes with Wuya, joining her. Raimundo returns to the temple to steal the serpent's tail, and the others show up to stop him, but fail and Raimundo uses the reversing mirror and serpent's tail to bring Wuya back in the flesh.moreless

  • Rai and Wuya team up

    Rai is still mad about not being promoted to Xiaolin Apprentice with his friends after the incident with Mala Mala Jong. While training, he goes off (using the Golden Tiger Claws)to his hometown of Rio (Brazil) where Wuya comfronts him. However, he seeming doesn't accept her offer to team up. He returns to the temple just in time to discover a new shen gong wu has been revealing: the Reversing Mirror. The monks go off to find the wu (which is at a lifehouse, in place of a mirror). Jack is there, along with Wuya (who cannot get it). Jack and Rai fight in a showdown (Lotus Twister vs. Golden Tiger Claws). Rai wins but betrays his friends and goes off with Wuya. He returns to the temple to (successfully) steal the Serpent's Tail. Dojo and Master Fung think he stole the tail to restore Wuya to her human form by combining it with the Reversing Mirror. The monks find Rai and Wuya but are unable to stop them. Wuya becomes human, leaving a cliffhanger for the next season. Awesome.moreless

  • RAIMUNDO AHAHAHAHAHAHA, i sound like a maniac

    I know im a little late to write a review but i i am just so excited to do so.

    First, Raimundo rocks! Gosh, he's those kinda good guys gone bad even though you know he's going to become a good guy sooner or later. but who cares! Dang, he rocks at being this lost boy whose trying to find who he is/ or thinks he's all that (but that sounds more like Omi).

    And it was like "OMG!" when raimundo actually said no to evil witch ghost and then in the end gave it to her. AHAHAHA he is like pure genius! Im so not sadist. but you know what i wished? I wished it was a 3 vs 1 xiaolin showdown battle. Raimundo against Clay, Omi and Kimiko. Man, that'll be way awesome

    Dark Raimundo and Good Raimundo rocks! I love him!moreless

    after omi's ego makes him gloat about rai not being an aprentice rai joins the heylin side as wuya's jack replacement and this time heylin does suceed no thanks to jack jack: hey i heard that! but thanks to raimundo and we see wuya in her human form too. anyways the episode is my seond favorite xs episode and i think rai looks and is way cooler in the heylin side and unlike jack jack: "cries like a little girl" why do people think im pathetic. ok i'll stop talkin about you jack raiis smarter ( e.g. whenkim and clay were distracting rai he knowns they were just decoys if it was jack he wouldnt know that) jack: stop making fun of my pathetic attempts sorry jack geezmoreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Kimiko's outfit: A red top, black jacket that's not zippered up, red wristband, light blue skirt, and rollarblades. Kimiko's hairstyle: Straight red hair under a skateboard helmet. Edit
    • When Wuya was in the lighthouse, she couldn't pick up the reversing mirror. However, when Wuya was about to transform into her true self, she holds up the mirror normaly! (reply: She's not holding the mirror, she's FACING it, as it was propped up against a rock at the time.) Edit
    • Goof: Jack activates the Lotus Twister when it is in his left hand, after that it is shown on Jacks right arm. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • This is the last episode that RenĂ© Auberjonois voices Master Fung. Edit
    • Final time Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay's "element summoning" sequences are shown. Edit
    • This episode marks the first time we could see Wuya as flesh. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Kimiko: Anything yet? Dojo: Zip. Nada. Bupkiss. Omi: Please hurry, Dojo. If Wuya is returned to her fleshy form, life as we know it may cease to exist! (Dojo comes to a grinding halt) Dojo: I get it. It's important. The additional pressure: I do not need! Edit
    • Kimiko: Let me guess: There's some imperceptible flaw in your form that only you can see. Omi: Oh no, Kimiko. My form is without flaws. Naturally! Kimiko: Naturally. Omi: But still, I am dumped in the downs. Edit
    • Raimundo: (sarcastically) Wow, nothing gets past you, Omi! Omi: Not even you. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Title: In the Flesh The title could be a reference to the Pink Floyd song "In the Flesh?" Edit
    • The way Wuya tries to convice Raimundo to join her side, is similiar to the way The White witch from The Chronicles of Narnia tries to convince Edmund to bring his family to her. For example, both Raimundo and Edmund like to pick on anyone who's younger or smaller than themselves (Lucy and Omi) Both boys tend to never listen to anything anyone ever tells them, Both sometimes can get mad very easliy, and lastly they both boys are pulled over to the evil side because they've both been convined to betray the others. Another thing is Both chareters realize what they've done wrong and go back to the good side. Edit
    • Jack: Man, if I get tied into a knot over this, I'm gonna sue!
      His threat to sue is reminded of Montana Max from Tiny Toon Adventures. Why? Because the voice actor for Jack and Max are one and the same. Edit
