History Awesome / XiaolinShowdown

* There's also Wuya's return to power in the season one finale; from the moment the Sun's first blotted out and the forest around her's drained of life, up to her fiery incarnation and unmasking, the broodingly apocalyptic music is perfect. And though it's no surprise now, Wuya's first appearance in a body also counts as something of a SamusIsAGirl moment: we knew that Wuya was a female ghost/witch/hag, but had no clue that she'd be the ''Xiaolin Showdown'' poster girl for EvilIsSexy.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Wow, indeed."]]

-->'''Guan:''' I see you now for what [[YouMonster you]] [[FauxAffablyEvil are]], and not what you claim [[ArrogantKungFuGuy to]] [[MagnificentBastard be]]... ''REPEL THE BEAST!!''

* Even turned into a [[spoiler:kitten]] Omi ''still'' kicks ass!

* In the episode In the Flesh, [[spoiler: Heylin]] Raimundo successfully takes down Clay and Kimiko fighting him at the same time. When Omi tries to intervene with a BadassBoast, he basically just says "Nope." and escapes laughing into the distance.

** Followed by TheReveal: [[spoiler: He and Master Monk Guan effectively outgambitted Hannibal Roy Bean with a ''real'' secret elaborate plan.]]
* In the final showdown of the series, [[spoiler: Raimundo takes out all three of the show's major antagonists (as well as Heylin!Guan) by himself and is later promoted to Xiaolin leader.]] Epic. WIN.
* Before that, we have all four monks plus [[spoiler: Good!Chase]] trapped by every enemy. Rai promptly volunteers to drink the [[ItMakesSenseInContext bowl of 1500-year-old]] [[PsychoSerum Lao Mang Long Soup]] so that the others can escape, even reasoning his case when [[UnresolvedSexualTension Kim]][[ImpliedLoveInterest iko]] instantly steals it because they don't want him turning evil. He would have gone through with it, too, [[spoiler: if Good!Chase [[HeroicSacrifice hadn't taken it, instead]].]]
* His BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind in "Dreamstalker". Not only he is able to [[ShutUpHannibal reject]] Hannibal's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, finally [[CharacterDevelopment getting over his fear]] of not being good enough to be a monk, he also beat him in battle by teaming up with [[spoiler:his inner fear]]. The best highlight is when he made a [[BlowYouAway wind-punch]] strong enough to leave its shape in '''a mountain'''. The whole scene can be summed up with a simple sentence:

* Ying-Yang Yo-Yo induced [[spoiler:Heylin!Kimiko]] is pretty scary, and not to be underestimated in a fight ether.

** Although, her disguise almost didn't work because [[spoiler:It is highly hinted at the end of the showdown that Chase figured out it was Kimiko who fought and not Jack, though it appears what gave it away was her perfume.]]

* Not to mention ''Time After Time Part 1'', where he, ya know, [[spoiler: [[BewareTheSillyOnes took over the whole world, imprisoned all the villains and murdered the monks]].]]

* And of course there's ''Days Past''. [[spoiler:Heylin-mode Raimundo]] has the Xiaolin monks cornered and mockingly offers to let them join the Heylin. When they refuse, he taunts, "Face it. I'm the only one that can save you!" A calm voice abruptly replies, "Wrong." Jack then flies in with a new aircraft, completely destroys the rock-gollums surrounding the monks, saves them, then flies off, all within ''nine seconds''. The reasons behind him [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]]? He doesn't want Wuya taking over the word, because ''that's his job''.

* [[BigGood Master Monk Guan]] earns his in his showdown against Chase Young. Especially when he used an awesome [[KiManipulation Ki Attack]] to finish off the showdown, sending him flying through the spiral of mirrors, breaking each one on the way until he reaches the middle after giving him a poignant ReasonYouSuckSpeech.

* For the show as a whole: the fight between Omi and Hannibal in "Wu Got The Power," in which Omi and Hannibal are converted into beings of pure energy and bend the forces of nature around them for their fight. They clash as enormous cloud-beings while dramatic lightning strikes and the elements tear at the Earth. Even the animation becomes more detailed to match the ramped-up level of destruction.

-->'''Guan:''' I see you now for what [[CompleteMonster you]] [[FauxAffablyEvil are]], and not what you claim [[ArrogantKungFuGuy to]] [[MagnificentBastard be]]... ''REPEL THE BEAST!!''

** The second starts with her NoSelling the Xiaolin Apprentices' new powers like they were nothing.

-->'''Guan:''' I see you now for what [[CompleteMonster you]] [[FauxAffablyEvilare]], and not what you claim [[ArrogantKungFuGuy to]] [[MagnificentBastard be]]... ''REPEL THE BEAST!!''

-->'''Guan:''' I see you now for what you are, and now what you claim to be... ''REPEL THE BEAST!!''

* Omi's plan to return to the present in ''Days Past'' was highly risky but nothing short of ingenious. Unable to get back to the future any other way, he simply decided to freeze himself in a block of ice using the Orb of Tornami in the exact place Wuya would raise her palace in the future before taking over the world. There he waited for '''1500 years''' in the ice and when the palace rose, his ice prison was disturbed, immediately alerting Omi who easily breaks out of his prison none the worse for wear at the exact time needed to save his friends and Jack from Wuya's imprisonment while bringing along the box needed to seal her away. All who heard about the plan literally displayed an OhCrap face at sheer shock of Omi's own strategics.

* [[BigGood Master Monk Guan]] earns his in his showdown against Chase Young. Especially when he used an awesome [[KiAttacks Ki Attack]] to finish off the showdown, sending him flying through the spiral of mirrors, breaking each one on the way until he reaches the middle.

* He gets these from time to time.

-->'''Chase''': I may be weakened, [[HandicappedBadass but I'm not helpless!]]

* Raimundo sends Kimiko's PDA a virus. What does she do with it? She isolates it while calmly sitting in Jack Spicer's cage after he catches her, calmly ignoring her opponent's taunts all the way even as he leaves to steal their Wu, and then sends it to Jack's computer so that she can escape. Then she [[CrowningMomentOfFunny crashes a car into the robot impersonating her,]] [[BigDamnHeroes right after RoboKim catches all three guys.]]

* Blowing up hordes of Jack-bots by the dozens? A normal day's work for the Xiaolin Warriors. ''Glaring'' at one until it fearfully hits its own self-destruct switch? Preposterously awesome. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* When Kimiko blasts Sibini with the Eye of Dashi, combining it's power with her own fire-power in the episode "The Evil Within".

** Unlocking his wind element to it's fullest extent in the [[MeleeATrois Showdown Trio]] with Jack and Pandabubba, pulling off a seemingly impossible come-from-behind victory that even [[SmugSuper Omi]] admitted was awesome.

* Kimiko gets hers in the episode "Tangled Web", when after losing a Shen Gong Wu to Jack and having problems to control another named the Tangle Web Comb, she manages to make a comeback, fully focus on the task and use said comb to win her fight against Jack ''and'' get the SGW they were fighting for ''and'' get the one he stole at the beginnig back. For double awesome, she does this ''while wearing a kimono''.

* Then there was that time she used the Mind Reader Conch in conjuntion with some other Wu to get the inside scoop on the groups enemies.

** Although, her disguise almost didn't work because [[spoiler:It is highly hinted at the end of the showdown that Chase figured out it was Kimiko who fought and not Jack]]

* Jack being smart in the Sands of Time by bringing his future self so he can find all the sheng gong wu that his future self knew about

* At the end of ''Royal Rumble'', Omi is getting owned by Jack and his sidekicks. He activates the Sun Chi Lantern, absorbs the chi of his friends, and sends the bad guys packing.

* In the final showdown of the series, [[spoiler: Raimundo takes out all three of the show's major antagonists (as well as Heylin!Guan) by himself and is later promoted to Xiaolin leader.]]
