With it not being much longer before one of the monks is chosen to be the leader, Master Fung gives them one final test: to go on a quest of their own choosing. For his, Omi decides to travel back in time and save Chase Young from being turned to the Heylin side. To do that, he needs the Sands of Time, so he freezes himself and Dojo for eighty years. When they awaken, however, they find that the world is under the rule of the most unlikeliest of tyrants. Can Omi, with the help of aged friends, get the Sands of Time in order to prevent this disaster and complete his quest?
Tropes
- Bittersweet Ending: Omi and Dojo accomplish their goal of traveling to the past, but only after arriving in a Bad Future caused by their absence and watching their aged friends die.
- Break the Cutie / Break the Badass: Seeing all of his aged-up friends from the Bad Future die shocks Omi so much that Dojo has to activate the Sands of Time. Once the two have transported, Omi breaks down.
- Call-Back: Dojo reminds Omi how he froze himself for 1,500 years to get back to the present, which inspires Omi to do again to go to the future.
- Didn't Think This Through: Omi decides to freeze himself in order to meet his future self to recover the Sands of Time. Spot the logical flaw in this plan. Omi says this trope verbatim after he thinks it over.
- Expendable Alternate Universe: All the heroes from the Bad Future end up dying in order to give Omi a chance to change the past.
- For Want Of A Nail: Apparently, all it took for Jack Spicer to become a truly dangerous threat was for Omi to be gone for over eighty years.
- Foreshadowing: Aged Raimundo shows impressive leadership when the monks are trying to get the Sands of Time.
- Grand Finale: The start of it.
- Kick Them While They Are Down: The monks, after obtaining the Wu of the week, decide to rub their victory by beating up Jack and leaving him half naked in the construction site they found the Wu on.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Omi tries to time travel to get the Sands of Time and creates a Bad Future.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Jack Spicer, of all people, took over the world in an Alternate Future.
- Sound-Only Death: We don't actually see Omi's teammates die, as the camera flashes to his reaction.
