History ShoutOut / XiaolinShowdown

* Raimundo's [=3PM=] Player is an obvious parody of the [[UsefulNotes/{{MP3}} MP3 Player]].

* Omi saying he's the chosen one and the fact he turns evil likely refers to ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', which ironically came out in theatres the Thursday before this episode premiered where chosen one Anakin Skywalker betrays the Jedi Order.

* Not only does Katnappé dresses in full length feline attire like [[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} Cheetah]], [[ComicBook/SecretSix Catman]], [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie Princess Seira]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Cat]][[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} woman]], [[Franchise/TheDCU Wildcat]], another [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Catman]], [[Franchise/SpiderMan Black Cat]], [[ComicBook/TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain Catgirl]], as well as [[WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats Josie McCoy, Valerie Brown and Melody Valentine]] but the [[Creator/JenniferHale person]] who provides Katnappés' voice [[ActorAllusion done]] a [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries cat-like burglar]] before.

* Numerous references to the Fearsome Four links outside sources like the "[[Music/TheBeatles Fab Four]]" or the ''Franchise/FantasticFour''.

* Behavior of the She Gong Wu in this episode is reminiscent of the [[Franchise/SpiderMan Venom Symbiote]] in that it tries to take over the body of its host.

** It's even similar to how guest character ComicBook/TheCreeper does to a few mooks in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and gives ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' this [[OffhandBackhand treatment]] without missing a beat while having a conversation with Harley Quinn.

* The way Omi traveled down the castle with his Orb of Tornami is similar to how [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Iceman]] travels.

** Her surname is "''Franchise/{{Touhou}} Miko''".

* When Kimiko and the three stooges (Omi, Clay and Raimundo) are sent underground by Jessie, several things are seen as it pains down below the earth's crust and amongst them are a group of four [[Literature/TheTimeMachine Mo]][[Film/TheTimeMachine1960 rlo]][[Film/TheTimeMachine2002 cks]], a lizard creature that's essentially a [[Series/LandOfTheLost Sleestak]], and a bespectacled man in a business suit talking on a cellphone saying "Can you still hear me?" which is a parody of the Verizon wireless "Can you hear me now?" commercials.

* A reference to [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} Skipper the penguin]]'s repetitive "Smile and wave boys, smile and wave" line is made when Clay asks what Master Fung meant:

!For ''Xiaolin Showdown'':

* The dancing game Raimundo and Kimko play is called '''[[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution Dance]] Film/Armageddon1998''.'

* The dancing game Raimundo and Kimko play is called '''[[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution Dance]] Film/{{Armageddon}}''.'

* ''Xiaolin Showdown'' bears a lot of similarities with ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', another popular cartoon series that also aired on Creator/KidsWB.

* Raimundo finds the Sword of the Storm Shen Gong Wu is stuck in the sand with the hilt sticking out is like KingArthur's [[{{Excalibur}} sword]] being stuck in stone.

** The way that Raimundo uses it in it's debut episode resembles the usage of gaps from ''VideoGame/TouhouProject''[='=]s Yukari Yakumo.

* In his regular form, Dojo Kanojo Cho is considerably similar to [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Mushu]] where they both are comedic Chinese dragons of an usually small size and voices are provided by comedic actors Creator/EddieMurphy (Mushu) and Creator/WayneKnight (Dojo).

* When trees lose their leaves and the rivers dry up happens when [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]] took over Pride Rock.

* How Raimundo battles some jungle cats, pauses for a moment before [[OffhandBackhand backhanding]] another jungle cat is the exact same stunt [[Disney/TheLionKing Rafiki]] pulls with the hyenas.

* When Omi's turned into a cat, he strongly resembles [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]] as a cub if not [[Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion Kimba]].

* How Mala Mala Jong sends the Ring of the Nine Dragons Shen Gong Wu through the air after ripping Jack's pants off with the Third Arm Sash Shen Gong Wu and the ring slides on Jong's finger (actually the '''Fist of Tebigong''' Shen Gong Wu) is similar to a scene with [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo Baggins]].

* The pillar of light Kimkio conjures when activating her 'Global Mind-reading trick' is similar to the pillar of light in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Minas Morgul]].

** Not to mention Chase Young has some things in common with [[MortalKombat Shang Tsung]].

* Jack calling Omi "sweet pea" in regards to the latter pointing out the former's 'new' army of evil (Vlad, Katnappé, Cyclops and Tubbimura) looks like the 'old' one, "Swee'pea" being the name of [[ComicBook/{{Popeye}} Popeye and Olive Oyl]]'s only child.

* Raimundo's [=3PM=] Player is an obvious parody of the [[{{MP3}} MP3 Player]].

* At the temple, where Jack is feeling down after being defeated by Chase Young and Katnappé, being kicked out by his robot clone, the theme from ''TheYoungAndTheRestless'' starts playing.

* Title refers to the ''[[Literature/FightingFantasy Citadel of Chaos]]'' book.

* After finding the Longi Kite Shen Gong Wu on a beach of some deserted island, Raimundo sees the Chameleon-bot disguised as [[{{PamelaAnderson}} a voluptous blonde woman with long hair wearing a red one-piece swimsuit]] [[Series/{{Baywatch}} striding through the beach in slow motion]] to him.

* Raimundo makes a reference to Creator/WolfgangAmadeusMozart's "Musical Fruit" when speaking to Hannibal:

* There's a plague reading "[[Creator/WolfgangAmadeusMozart The Musical Fruit]]" on Hannibal Roy Beans' cage.\\

* Jack's picture on his 'Master of Evil' business card is made to make him look like WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker.

* When Kimiko uses her fire element on Jack's robots, one of them screams "[[Film/TheFly Help me]]! [[Film/TheWizardOfOz I'm melting]]!" out loud.

* Not only does Katnappé dresses in full length feline attire like [[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} Cheetah]], [[ComicBook/SecretSix Catman]], [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie Princess Seira]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Cat]][[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} woman]], [[Franchise/TheDCU Wildcat]], another [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Catman]], [[Franchise/SpiderMan Black Cat]], [[TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain Catgirl]], as well as [[WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats Josie McCoy, Valerie Brown and Melody Valentine]] but the [[Creator/JenniferHale person]] who provides Katnappés' voice [[ActorAllusion done]] a [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries cat-like burglar]] before.

* Not only does Katnappé dresses in full length feline attire like [[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} Cheetah]], [[ComicBook/SecretSix Catman]], [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehog Princess Seira]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Cat]][[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} woman]], [[Franchise/TheDCU Wildcat]], another [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Catman]], [[Franchise/SpiderMan Black Cat]], [[TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain Catgirl]], as well as [[WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats Josie McCoy, Valerie Brown and Melody Valentine]] but the [[Creator/JenniferHale person]] who provides Katnappés' voice [[ActorAllusion done]] a [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries cat-like burglar]] before.
