3!!Tropes
4
5* AnuscapePlan: 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.
6* BeenThereShapedHistory: 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.
7* ADayInTheLimelight: 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.
8* ForgotAboutHerPowers: 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.
9-->'''Jack''': By the way, why can't you just fly outta here?\
10'''Wuya''': Good idea. (flies out of Dojo)\
11'''Jack''': No! You can't leave me all alone!
12* GracefulLoser: Dojo accepts his defeat calmly and sincerely congratulates Omi on a job well done: "Thanks for stopping me."
13* HorrifyingTheHorror: Even Wuya is terrified of Dojo's Wu craved state.
14* MultipleHeadCase: Dojo gets a second head in his evil state.
15* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Omi's tricked into letting Dojo out of his box, which causes the whole conflict.
16* OhCrap: Everyone once they realize Dojo has escaped from his box, especially Wuya.
17* OmnicidalNeutral: 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.
18* OnceAnEpisode: 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.
19* PlotHole: 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 [[HonorBeforeReason honor-obsessed]] Omi would never do.
20* RegularlyScheduledEvil: Dojo only enters his Wu-craving phase once every 1500 years.
21* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: 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 [[BluntMetaphorsTrauma mangled metaphors]] saying Dojo "pulled his sweater over my eyes", which convinces Raimundo that is definitely the real Omi.
22* ThatCameOutWrong: When Jack uses the Glove of Jisaku to steal the monks' Wu, we get this exchange:
23-->'''Wuya:''' Brilliant, Jack! For once you've done something right!\
24'''Jack:''' You know, [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad an evil genius could take that the wrong way!]]
