    This episode was pretty good in my opinion. I thought that the blind guardian was hilarious. I liked the idea of the Warriors not being able to master the Weapons just like that (like I've seen in other tv shows).

    What I SERIOUSLY loved about this episode was the animation. It was just plain fantastic. The animation of Jack's train thing and the beginning of the Xiaolin Showdown was just awesome. I was always in love with the animation of certain cartoons (one of the main reasons I watch them). Well, going by the animation, this episode had to be one of the best so far.moreless

    Well I am from the UK so got to get this episode from the US.

    The fact that Omi got his wudai wepon last was obvious. He was so expectant that he'd get it first but alas the writers were against him.

    Now The favourite of the wudai wepons would have to be the blade of the nebula. It can be used as a sword (which isn't shown) or as numchuck that can relese a tornado/whirlwing/cyclone.

    Clay's wudai wepon was a boomarang with imense power that can split into smaller boomarangs and slice through rock. Big Bang Meteorang...

    Kimiko got a small hangbag like object which contains small birds once thorwn catch on fire. Thus the name arrow sparrow.

    Poor little Omi getting his wepon last. A small ice like cylindar that can change into many diffrent ice based wepons. Shimo staff.

    The main plot of the story was searching for these wudai wepons. Finally at the end of their trails they soon find the treasure of the blind swordsman which is guarded by a funny blind old man. =3 Now either I am lazy or I wouldn't want to spoil your viewing pleasure xD

    Overall not a bad episode but all these quests can get on your nerves .__.moreless

    This episode was very good.

    I was laughing at the Blind Old Man especially when the Blind Man had to go to the bathroom! I loved that part!

    The Wudai Weapons were great! The Big Bang Meteorang can be very dangerous because of it's slicing abilitie. I hope evil never gets that Wudai Weapon! *shudders* The Arrow Sparrow was cool and orginal. I kinda liked how Kim can control the birds of fire to go anywhere you please. But still, another "I hope the heylin side doesn't get that!" Then for the Blade of the Nebula. My Question: How can a Blade turn into Nunchucks? Why don't just call is Nunchucks of the Nebula but I'm not the producer. The Shimo Staff has to be my favorite. All the weapons that that Wudai Weapon can turn into is amazing numbered very high. I really hope the Heylin Side gets these Wudai Weapons and use it against the Xiaolin side. It will add to the drama of the show.

    The way the Map of the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman acted like. Was like a moving Shen-Gong-Wu Scroll. Pretty interesting.

    The troubles the Monks went threw was kinda cool. The Picture Ghost, Cactus Monsters, Rattlesnakes and a Cave.

    This show built up a debate. Are the Wudai Weapons Shen-Gong-Wu? I don't think so. How could they be? Then another debate: Is the Treasure of the Blindswordsman a wu? I will say "NO" until anyone can prove otherwise.

    The Showdown was cool. It proved that you can see without your eyes. Even against two evil heylins. The showdown was actually good. Surprising.moreless

    • Jack only puts one side of his face to the ground. But when he gets up, there are cactus spines all over both sides. Edit
    • How can Hannibal lift the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman when he's as tiny as a pea? Even if he had the Ying-ying Bird to carry it, he still couldn't have lifted the lid open at the end. Edit
    • Shimo Staff - A small blue staff that when activated, turns into various ice-like weapons such as a mace or an axe. This is Omi's Wudai Weapon. It seems as if this Shen-Gong-Wu has a mind of it's own. Blade of the Nebula - A Blue Glass-like sword that when actived turns into Powerful, Chain Nunchucks that have control over Wind and Gales that can pick up your enemies and blow them away. This is Raimundo's Wudai Weapon. Arrow Sparrow - A small Indian bag Shen-Gong-Wu with a strap. It has a symbol on it that looks like a bird. It contains a large amount of metal sparrows, that when thrown, catch on fire and blow up in a firey explosion. This is Kimiko's Wudai Weapon. Big Bang Meteorang - A Bronze Boomerang. When thrown, it can cut through anything, including stone, rock and metal. It can also split into up to 5 smaller versions of itself for Multiple attack. This is Clay's Wudai Weapon. Edit

      Edit
    • At the end of the episode, when Hannibal finally retreives The Treasure of the Blind Swordsman, it looks like he hangs around near a dying tree with a nest on it. It will be seen again in Hannibal's Revenge. Edit
