  • Raimundo uses the Shen Gong Wu to save his home town from an active volcano causing a lava flow. But his good deed came with a price.

    I thought it was noble for Raimundo to save his home town, even though he had to break his promise not to use the Shen Gong Wu until the Heylin comet has passed. I just can't believe Kimiko, Clay, and Omi didn't believe him when Raimundo told them the truth, didn't anyone teach those three not to judge until there is solid evidence? It's a good thing Dojo did a little recon, or otherwise they would still think Raimundo is a liar. Unfortuntely, they found about about it after Raimundo got "wu-napped". Anyway, his transformation into a monster reminds me of the Hulk; big, huge, wild, and scary. At least this episode showed a little more of Raimundo's good side.moreless

    Out of all the episodes in Xiaolin Showdown, this is my favorite one. It was the first time Wuya participated in a Xiaolin Showdown. It was kind of creepy seeing the Shen Gong Wu come alive, and take over Rai's body. It was nice to see that for once, Omi was nice to Rai. So, overall Wuya's First Xiaolin Showdown+Omi and Rai's temporary character change = one awesome Xiaolin showdown episode. Since I don't have anything else to write, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .moreless

    and now it's back to writing random stuff so that I can pass the 100 word minimum. Who's idea was it to put a mimimum on this thing? But, back to Xiaolin Showdown. This is a good episode but it's kind of hard to watch because Rai ends up really wacked. And the whole Wuya in Rai thing is really scarry. But still it is a good episode. Writing random stuff. I feal bad for anyone who is trying to read this, it must be painful. It's pretty painful to write. Almost done... seven words left to go... Hah!!!! I'm done.moreless

The Shen-Gong-Wu begin to have a mind of their own and attach to Raimundo, making him monster-like.

My favorite part of this episode was actually the whole thing because this episode was so cool and awesome.moreless

    • Several characters hold Shen-Gong-Wu in this episode when the Heylin comet is still passing over, without being affected, for example, when Master Fung useed the Falcons Eye, and when Raimundo used the Orb Of Tunami at the begging of the episode. Edit
    • Several characters hold Shen-Gong-Wu in this episode when the Heylin comet is still passing over, without being affected, for example, when Jack gave Raimundo the Glove of Jisaku he took it from his coat and then put it into the prongs. (The Shen-Gong-Wu don't act weird until they are acitvated). Edit
