Recap / Xiaolin Showdown Treasure Of The Blind Swordsman

Go To

Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay, now Wudai warriors, go on a search for their Wudai weapons and find a magic box that grants them the ability to use their newly acquired weapons.


Tropes:

  • Cowboy Episode: Seriously. Even the desert reptiles are wearing cowboy hats!
  • Handicapped Badass: The Guardian of the Treasure Chest, initially trouncing Omi on the first two moves of his challenge to win the treasure chest, and handily defeating Jack and Wuya in a Showdown Trio.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Rai deciding to leave the treasure chest just sitting out in the open where Hannibal literally swoops in and takes it for himself.
  • Once an Episode: The "Emperor of the Train" Showdown Trio between the Blind Guardian, Jack, and Wuya for the bag of stolen Wu, the Guardian's Mantis Flip Coin versus Jack's Thorn of Thunderbolt versus Wuya's Silk Spitter, last person standing atop the train is the winner. The Blind Guardian uses the Mantis Flip Coin to jump out of the way when Jack and Wuya fire their Wus on him at the same time hitting the other resulting in The Blind Guardian's victory.
  • Power Incontinence: The monk's first attempts to use their Wudai Weapons blow up in their face because they don't know how to use them properly until the Spirit of the Blind Swordsman teaches them how, resulting in a case of Hoist by Their Own Petard for Clay and Kimiko.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? / Heart Is an Awesome Power: Omi initially thinks the former when his Wudai Weapon, the Shimo Staff, doesn't look as impressive as the ones that the others had received—Omi warms up to it later on when he finds out it can transform into a bunch of different melee weapons.
