History Fridge / XiaolinShowdown

* Knowing how deeply the Lao Mang Lone soup can [[FaceHeelTurn corrupt good people as seen by Chase and Alternate Guan]], what would happen if the soup was drank by someone evil to begin with.

[[AC:FridgeLogic]]
* Some of the Shen Gong Wu hiding places don't make much sense. Take the Eye of Dashi, for example (hanging from a tree branch), or the Changing Chopsticks (Hanging out of the nostrils of an Easter Island head). Are we supposed to believe those Wu remained where they were, unnoticed and undisturbed, for 1500 years? Perhaps the worst offender is the Mikado Arm, which was on top of a skyscraper in mid-construction (What, did someone just carry it up there on a whim?)
** Some of them got found by people that didn't know what they were, like with the Star of Hanabi. Just imagine that every Wu has a story behind how it got there.

*** As a ton of Wu were just stolen, that might have included both of them.
*** As someone who was turned by the same wu, Omi may not be up for doing the same to even his enemies.

* What are the odds that Dyrus and Klofange will thaw again in the future again with Dyrus resuming manipulating people with her beauty and mistaking Klofange for a villain and possibly allowing the evil mermaid some sort of rise in power.

* While Jack Spicer of ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is considered an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, you'll notice that he's surprisingly fast and flexible, and can accomplish things like air somersaults even without the Mantis Flip Coin. Well, in one episode, it's revealed that Jack's mother sent him to figure skating lessons, which is why his body is trained to accomplish all the previous athletic feats. In connection with that, Jack is good at challenges that involve snow and/or ice, most prominently seen in ''Ring of the Nine Dragons'' where he was snowboarding quite impressively even before he cheated; this is most likely because the lessons took place in snowy or icy areas where Jack would have learned the other sports as well.

* In the episode The Apprentice, the illustration in the scroll makes the Woozy Shooter look like a rifle or other long gun turned backwards--the purple gas it emits comes out of the part of the Wu that looks like the butt of the gun, and the illustration has it turned backwards so this part is facing towards the user. ''This may have been completely intentional on Dashi's part''; for most Shen Gong Wu, all you have to do is say the name and point it in the direction of your enemies. However, you have to blow into the Woozy Shooter to get it to work properly; someone who doesn't know the first thing about it would probably hold it so that it was facing towards themself, effectively catching themselves in the mist and turning the Wu into a booby trap.

** On a related note, the Sapphire Dragon's weakness to soot seems silly... until you realize that in gem lore, sapphires symbolize water. Meaning that, assuming soot symbolizes fire, what at first seems like a WeaksauceWeakness, turns into a very symbolic version of ElementalRockPaperScissors.

* Master Monk Guan gave up Dojo to Chase in return for the Spear of Guan, a weapon that he clearly prized. However, in "The Return of Master Monk Guan", we discover that Guan has SEVERAL copies of the Spear made. This would imply that he sold his principles out for nothing ...unless we consider the possibility that Guan had all of those spears made AFTER his victory over Chase. This makes much more sense, as he likely wanted to have several backups made in case another one got lost, and he very likely gave the ''original' spear to Omi.

** Why didn't Omi try to use the Ying/Yang Yo Yo's to get Chase to turn good? Several possible reasons beyond Omi/the writers did not think of it.

** Even if it is a bit ''really'' to suggest Chase and Guan knew Dashi personally, Chase knowing Dashi personally could explain his general dislike for many Shen Gon Wu. He probably found things like 'sandals that make your legs stretch' and 'giant golden baby monster that shoots diapers' to be dumb even before he became evil, and kept that opinion when he did.
*** Knowing about the Shen Gon Wu probably is why he knew what couple to look into before Wuya. He knew to keep an eye out for, say, the Fountain of Hui.

* When Master Fung challenged his students in ''The Crystal Glasses'' to try and get the Crystal Glasses off of him, no one was able to. The Glasses lets the user see into the future, Fung said only the wisest would be allowed to use them, only Raimundo refused to actually try, seeing how everyone failed to do so, however, it is entirely possible that Raimundo saw it as a pointless effort if Fung knew what was gonna happen if he was using the glasses, pretty Wise decision mind you.
* Raimundo becoming the leader was foreshadowed way back in season 1. He was the first monk to call a "shen yi bu dare" gaining nearly every shen gong wu at the time and making up for his earlier mistake of losing the sword of the storm wu due to neglecting to pay attention. The season 1 finale shows he was very reluctant to leave the elder temple monks to fight off Mala Mala Jong showing his loyalty and returning out of concern. When Master Fung deemed him not yet ready for promotion to apprentice level, he was offended because despite making the situation worse, he felt his loyalty meant nothing and ended up joining the Heylin side by restoring Wuya effectively making a bigger mistake and learning from that as well by resealing Wuya. Along with the Crystal Glasses example above, Raimundo came the longest way making him the most fit to be leader.

* In The Last Temptation of Raimondo, why did it take Dojo flying out to verify Rai's story? Simple: only two monks have tech to read articles about this sort of thing and one (Rai) has a evil claw on his hand at the moment that probably ruins his typing while the other (Kimiko) is clearly not in the mood to help Rai because she believes he is lying. This is very nice of Dojo, and one might wonder why he did so? Well note that Master Fung is pretty understanding and calm about Raimundo right before Dojo shows up. It's rather possible that Master Fung had guessed or figured out that there was more to this than Rai lying (perhaps he smelled smoke on Rai, perhaps he knows Rai's tells too well, perhaps he suspected that the Heylin were up to something) and asked Dojo to take a look.
