History Recap / XiaolinShowdownRingOfTheNineDragons

* DisappointedInYou: Master Fung is very upset with Omi for disobeying his order not to use the Ring of Nine Dragons and subsequently losing a showdown because of it, bringing the Monks down to just one Shen Gong Wu, and he punishes him by making him clean several dirty dishes all by himself.

* TheBadGuyWins: Jack wins the showdown for the Falcon's Eye, and gets the Ring of Nine Dragons in the process, which means the Monks still only have one Wu.

* MeaninglessVillainVictory: Jack Spicer claims the Ring of Nine Dragons. And the Ring carves up his IQ with every duplication, leaving him a babbling idiot at the end of the episode.

-->'''Dojo''': Look at his-- I mean, their hands! He-- they is-- are wearing the Rings of the Nine Dragons! [[LampshadeHanging This is a grammar nightmare]].
* SuddenDownerEnding: Inverted--while Jack may have the won the episode's showdown and the Monks are back to having just one Shen Gong Wu, Raimundo helps Omi and the others feel better about what happened by pointing out that if someone like Omi[[note]](a well-trained warrior who's an expert in martial arts)[[/note]] wasn't ready to use the Ring of the Nine Dragons, a guy like Jack Spicer[[note]](a guy who has virtually no combat skills but is still skilled in areas relating to robotics, engineering and technology)[[/note]] is probably no better off with it (if anything, Jack's much worse off). The last scene shows this is indeed the case, as Jack split himself into multiple idiotic forms with the ring, much to Wuya's annoyance.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Master Fung, normally a very calm and caring man, is so angry with Omi for his actions he gives him the difficult task of cleaning a sink load of giant dishes spotless with only a small brush and sternly tells him he’ll check on him in one hour before taking his leave and slamming the door shut, which makes Omi winces.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After spending the whole showdown struggling with coordinating his clones, Omi finally becomes his regular self, makes a beeline for the Falcon's Eye... and loses, because Jack had a massive lead.

* IdiotPlot: while Omi should have listened to Master Fung, there was really no good reason for Master Fung not to tell the monks about the Ring's horrible drawback.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The idea of cloning yourself up to nine times with the Ring of Nine Dragons sounds appealing to the monks, but as they quickly realize, there was a reason Master Fung said they weren't ready to use it yet, because each clone cuts the intelligence, maturity and skills by how many clones are made. It's telling that from this episode on, most people who use it go no higher than making a second clone.

* SuddenDownerEnding: Inverted.
