Episode Summary

After Katnapp releases Wuya from the puzzle box, the two form an unhealthy alliance. Jack builds another robot, but this time, it's a clone of himself, who is much quicker, smarter, and gets all the good jokes. Jack and his clone use the newest Shen-Gong-Wu, Shard of Lightning, to freeze time and quickly steal most of the Warriors' Shen-Gong-Wu. The Warriors must think of a plan to stop them, while Wuya starts to regret teaming up with Katnapp.moreless

    Okay, let me clear things up. This is an Omi episode featuring Jack Spicer at his worst when Jack creates a replica of himself. I think that is the main gist of the story. Not my kind of cool action flick. In fact, I think this episode is really daft and I thought it would be something good after Citadel Of Doom. Well, I guess I am wrong and this is an anticlimax. Still, the robot was kinda awesome except that he still lost in the end. No substance, just a Shen Gong Wu as its episode name (that's the worst kind of mane you can give.)moreless

    it is an awsome episode i thought it was cool. I liked it when the xialon dragons used there powers. this episode was a good episode. like when jack was going super fast and nailed omi's shoes, pulled down his pants it was hilarious. Also the thing is master fung's voice changed. His old voice was better. it was also better when wu-yah was imprisoned in the box.

  • It's a good episode to "begin" the second season, since the previous episode only concluded the last season.

    This is one of my favorite episodes, since it's got sooo much Jack in it. And double the Jack, double the fun. We find out that in this episode, Katnappe frees Wuya from her puzzle box, only to fail in retreaving the new Shen Gong Wu-- The Shard of Lightning. The victor of the prize? None other than a super souped up Jack Spicer: Faster, Better Moves, Better Disses. It turns out that it was only a Robot Jack built of himself, a modified and better version of himself. The two team up and steal most of the Xiaolin Warrior's Shen Gong Wu, and are about to take the other newly activated Wu-- The Silver Manta Ray-- when they are stopped by Omi, who challenges them to a Xiaolin Showdown. They do this seperately, because Robo-Jack "Showdown Crosses" Jack. In the end, Omi wins the Manta Ray, the Shard of Lightning, and the Shrowd of Shadows.moreless

    Katnapp releases Wuya from the puzzle box. Jack builds another robot, but this time, it's a clone of himself, who is much quicker, smarter, and gets all the good jokes. Jack and his clone use the newest Shen-Gong-Wu, Shard of Lightning, to freeze time and quickly steal most of Kimko, Raimundo, Omi and Clay's Shen-Gong-Wu. The Omi,Clay. Kimiko and Raimundo must think of a plan to stop them, while Wuya starts to regret teaming up with Katnapp. My favorite part of this episode is when Jack makes pranks on Raimundo, Omi, Kimiko and Clay. I hope you liked this episode very much.moreless

  • The Shard is defineately my Wu! With it I would be invulnerable! Mwahahahaha! Good episode, I must say. Best of season 2 if you ask me (which you probably won\'t).

    Top episode, baby! I can\'t find words! I love it, but I doubt the fact that in half the showdowns they\'ll be able to breathe, like in the 30 foot tree in this episode. Alas, I\'m a beliver! Anyway, think of the endless possibilities that episode makes with the Shard. For example, the monks could do what the Jacks did to them. AND the Shard should be capable of beating any form of Mala Mala Jong as you can take the Emperor Scorpion off whoever is holding it, but that\'s another story. Also, the Silver Manta Ray is useful, as it is used in other episodes countless times onward and probably continue throughout season 4 if it\'s made.moreless

    • If Raimundo isn't a Xiaolin apprentice, how is he able to use his Xiaolin element like all the others? Edit
    • Omi, Clay and Kimikos belts are blue but Raimundo's is black which is a higher level than blue in martial arts. ((This is a fictional world, they aren't doing the martial arts we know. Raimundo hasn't gotten to apprentice yet, so his belt remains the color it had been since the first episode: black.)) Edit
    • When Jack is talking about what you can't trust, his thumb is black. Edit
