Dojo undergoes his once every-1500-years craving for Shen Gong Wu, where he becomes so dangerous that he needs to be locked up. Omi is put in charge of watching the dragon, but disaster falls when Dojo tricks the young monk and escapes!
Tropes
- Anuscape Plan: After Dojo eats the main cast, Jack says how there is "no way out of here" and then brings up there's one exit and points to it with his flashlight. However, that exit is not the one he wants to take, because that's the other end of the digestive tract. Instead, Omi is sweated out and everyone else is later regurgitated.
- Been There, Shaped History: After being questioned on it by his students, Master Fung explains that Dojo has only ever escaped from his box one other time, and claims that it resulted in the destruction/disappearance of Atlantis.
- A Day in the Limelight: Dojo is the star of this episode, which focuses on his periodical transformation into a gigantic beast obsessed with devouring as many Shen Gong Wu as possible.
- Forgot About Her Powers: Wuya forgets that she can just fly out of Dojo until Jack asks her why she doesn't just do that, even after he pointed out previously that she doesn't have a body.Jack: By the way, why can't you just fly outta here?
Wuya: Good idea. (flies out of Dojo)
Jack: No! You can't leave me all alone! - Graceful Loser: Dojo accepts his defeat calmly and sincerely congratulates Omi on a job well done: "Thanks for stopping me."
- Horrifying the Horror: Even Wuya is terrified of Dojo's Wu craved state.
- Multiple Head Case: Dojo gets a second head in his evil state.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Omi's tricked into letting Dojo out of his box, which causes the whole conflict.
- Oh, Crap!: Everyone once they realize Dojo has escaped from his box, especially Wuya.
- Omnicidal Neutral: This is largely why Dojo is so terrifying in his Shen Gong Wu-craving state. He loses all sense of morality, good or evil, and essentially becomes a force of nature with one goal: satisfying his endless hunger for Wu.
- Once an Episode: The "Who Can Capture Who First?" Xiaolin Showdown featuring Omi against Evil!Dojo for the Silk Spitter, with Omi's Changing Chopsticks versus Dojo's Fist of Tebigong; Omi wins after tricking Evil!Dojo into charging into a Shroud of Shadows-hidden cage, locking it, and shrinking it with the Chopsticks.
- Plot Hole: Omi uses the Shroud of Shadows in his Showdown with Dojo despite not wagering it; it's ordinarily only possible for a single person to wield multiple Wu in one challenge by calling a Shen Yi Bu Dare, which Omi doesn't do. It's especially noticeable because later episodes would explicitly refer to using non-gambled Wu as cheating, something the honor-obsessed Omi would never do.
- Regularly Scheduled Evil: Dojo only enters his Wu-craving phase once every 1500 years.
- Something Only They Would Say: When the monks return to the temple and see Omi locked in Dojo's box, they initially think Dojo shapeshifted into Omi to try to bluff his way out. When Omi continues to insist that he is real, he uses one of his mangled metaphors saying Dojo "pulled his sweater over my eyes", which convinces Raimundo that is definitely the real Omi.
- That Came Out Wrong: When Jack uses the Glove of Jisaku to steal the monks' Wu, we get this exchange:Wuya: Brilliant, Jack! For once you've done something right!
Jack: You know, an evil genius could take that the wrong way! - What Did I Do Last Night?: After Dojo comes out of his Wu craving state, he has no memory of the entire ordeal, saying it's one big blur.
