Episode Summary

Omi successfully switches Chase Young's evil soup with pea soup which stops him from going evil. However, in exchange, the future changed for the worse. Hannibal turns Master Monk Guan evil instead of Chase, Master Fung is trapped in the Ying-Yang world and Jack turns good. After acquiring the soup Omi hid in the past, they are captured by Hannibal and his crew. Chase then sacrifices his good side to free the Warriors. After the Warriors get to the Heylin seed's vault (where Omi is frozen), Hannibal and his crew start a Xiaolin Showdown. Can the new Warriors defeat Hannibal, Wuya, Chase Young and Master Monk Guan in a 4-way tag team Xiaolin Showdown? And finally, who will be made the new leader?moreless

  • The last Xiaolin Showdown episode needed better writers, plain and simple.

    "Poor"
    Even though 'deserved' is too strong a word for a not-so-incredibly-remarkable show as this, the finale to the series could have been so much more than what it was... to say the least. Like the rest of Season 3, it felt rushed and half-baked, and made the big mistake of giving way too much attention to its kiddified humor, which in turn made the drama pitiful. So, here we have Omi, who is reduced to looking like a complete idiot as he had seriously screwed the future in his quest to prevent Chase Young from turning evil; then we have Raimundo, who is sized up to be some kind of genius, and who now suddenly starts telling the other monks what to do. (I'm sure Kimiko and Clay were not really entirely giddy about this in the end.) Fanservice is clearly evident - Rai is pushed to the top at the expense of Omi's dignity - and it doesn't matter if said dignity was necessary for the little egomaniac or not. It's simply unfair. What's worse? Raimundo turns God Mode during the Showdown and beats up four of the most powerful villains on his own. And how was he able to do this? A different timeline where he and the others are farming and not honing their martial arts skills, AND where Clay had been chosen as the leader in the first place? Not likely. This is merely a product of sloppy writing. Instead of proving himself in an unpredictable yet natural way, Raimundo can just snap and become an ultra-strong, ultra-smart leader. How convenient! Basically, this was the straw that broke my back, even knowing that there were plenty more problems to deal with in this episode, INCLUDING a lack of true passion and meaning. No excuses for being a kid's show.moreless

    Ray becomes the new leader? What kind of stuff is that? Come on, let's not kid ourselves who is the best among the four. Omi is clearly the best. Take him out of the equation and the world turns evil. And since when can ray take out monk guan, chase young, and the rest at the same time? After that, he sends in omi just to rescue dojo without him having to fight. They with out a doubt purposely made omi smaller this season to enlarge ray. This season was a joke. I would not mind to see Omi switch to the heylin side and start kicking their butts. They do need to bring back jermaine as well.moreless

    "Perfect"
    wow OMG this has to be the best season finaly ever
    the showdown, the soup and rai being leader must be the best things in the series.
    i hope that they air the next season because that season finaly was perfect but just not a series finaly, i miself think that if they do air the next season that will be the last one, i realy think that the series almost has nothing left, and if you think it they have but one thing to do RECOVER the eagles scope or the fountain of wi (the one they dont have) and bam there is the end of the series.moreless

  • Possibly the best episode of the series.

    "Perfect"
    This episode is such a tearjerker because it is (most likely) the end of the best show ever to be shown on TV.

    In this episode Omi, 1500 years in the past, accomplishes his goal by switching the Lao-Mang-Long soup with pea soup. But when he travels back to the present, he finds the temple had been taken over by Hannibal Roy Bean, Wuya, and Master Monk Guan who drank the sounp instead of Chase Young, who is on the side of good.

    The monks, Chase, and Good Jack live a little ways away from the temple farming, instead of fighting evil. Omi and the gang decide to go find his old self, still frozen in the temple and change their present back to how it's supposed to be.

    In the end, Raimundo is named the leader, and Omi is disappointed, but in the end accepts Raimundo as leader. This episode is amazing! If this does turn out to be last episode of Xiaolin Showdown ever made, I can say it is definately a great way to end the series!moreless
