    Sigh, Raimundo dissapoints me in this, but at least he tries. hide show

    Okay so in this episode, Omi faces Jack in a showdown for the Heart of Jong, but loses and Wuya uses the Shen Gong Wu to revive the dreaded Mala Mala Jong. After learning of this, Master Fung orders Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay to leave the temple with all the SGW and to not return. Having left, Raimundo can no longer take sitting on the sidelines and goes to help his master and the temple monks face this threat, disobyeing Master Fung. Raimundo fails to defeat the warrior and Wuya learns where the others are hiding. Kimiko and Clay end up fighting Mala Mla Jong for their lives as Omi races to retrieve the Tiger Claws. When he does, he opens a portal through Jong and takes the heart, defeating him. Master Fung promotes Omi, Kimiko and Clay to apprentice level, but because of Raimundo's rash bravery, he stays at the same level.

    This episod eis about the reformation of Mala Mala Jong. hide show

    Wuya uses the Heart of Jong to bring Mala Mala Jong, the Shen-Gong-Wu compiled warrior from several thousand years ago, back to life. This causes a major problem for the Xiaolin Warriors ( Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay) & Master Fung, as none of their Shen-Gong-Wu or forces can stop this incredible warrior. The xiaolin dragons fight and fight the Mala Mala Jong but it is very, very difficult for them so Omi travels to the earths core to get the Golden Tiger Claws so that Omi can get the heart of Jong and mala Mala jong can live no more. My favorite part of this episode is when Omi travels to the earths core and when Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay try to fight Mala Mala Jong.

    Wuya creates Mala Mala Jong. Raimundo tries to stop them. hide show

    This was one of my favorite episodes. I did because it felt like I was watching a season finale. I also liked the battle against Mala Mala Jong. The best part of the fight was when Omi took the Heart of Jong out of the Two-Ton Tunic. It was cool how he warped into Mala Mala Jong's chest. Another good part was when Mala Mala Jong gained more powers with each Shen Gong Wu, for example the Sword of the Storm. The Golden Tiger Claws(my favorite Shen Gong Wu) also appear again. It was strang how the episode was mostly dark. (it kinda makes sence though) Also Master Fung and the other monks fight Mala Mala Jong witch was a nice touch.

    Raimundo disobeys Master Fung and nearly ends up in the whole team losing to Mala Mala Jong. hide show

    Personally, I think Master Fung was right. It was no excuse to disobey his orders just because you want to rescue him. The better way to end this turmoil is to think like Omi and concoct a plan. Omi really rocked this time. Raimundo took it really badly meaning he actually craves for acceptance in the team. Maybe Master Fung knew he would betray everyone, but he did not stop him because he knew that the consequences of betrayal would be a great lesson for Raimundo in the future. I still hope Raimundo would turn back anyway, and change his mind about betrayal. Time will tell.

    In the Spanish language, mala means bad. In chinese, Jong means someone who ranks high in an army. []
