10 years ago mate (2012).....hell Avatar the Last Airbender was from 2005 those are now years ago. Edit: only got to it now. 2003 when the show aired, dang bro time flies.
@@GamerFromJump So he has most talent with things that changes the body of the user makes sense that talent even went to creating a robot that can take any shape.
This show was amazing. The Shen Gon Wu were the best thing about the series and I enjoyed how they adapted the story with each new addition to the collection.
I always liked the little shadow thing the scroll did when a new Wu popped up. Like not only do we get a description but also a demonstration of it. And then combat application.
Problem was that prolonged use of the Monkey Staff affected Jack's mind. When he became full monkey he stopped caring about his goal and wanted to act all wild and reckless.
That's pretty much what happened. Omi made the portal to the Center of the Earth and tossed the Claws into the rift so no one could use them freely. In the earliest parts of the series, they were OP.
You have to give Jack and Kimiko credit for using the Changing Chopsticks to make working on tech easier. It's a really clever use that most people wouldn't come up with right away. Man I miss this show.
@@nucleonegro9762 To be fair though, Shen Gong Wu tend to change hands frequently, meaning that both the heroes and the villains are forced to get really creative with whatever Shen Gong Wu they currently have on hand
You could also use the 9 Dragon Ring to master multiple skills at once. You could have one learn coding, one learn a new language, one learn an instrument, one exercise etc.
I want the Golden Tiger Claws above all else. To teleport wherever you want instantaneously without the risk of getting fused to something would make life so much better.
@@STH151NicoleFan Plus the combined effect of the Reversing Mirror with: Changing Chop Sticks, Lotus Twister, and Glove of Jisaku. Is there going to be a part 2 for this.
I remember this show when I was in elementary school, me and my classmates always said this powers everytime we played with the ball. Man, that was a good time.
@@kristinanewman3803 the shroud of shadows isn’t one hundredth as dangerous as the sands of time. With it, you could go back in time to world war 2 and make America lose.
@@supersonicfan7514 the sands of time can have big consequences as evident in the time after time finale. I also like to add the heart of Jong? It's primary source is bring inanimate objects to life.
@@blaquephyrekendra1779 there are way more dangerous shen gong wu than that. Imagine if someone bad got their hands on the zing zombone, the sands of time, the shard of lightning, or the sapphire dragon.
@@supersonicfan7514 I'm aware. I could list all manner of dangerous shen gong wu but irritating is funnier. Like what if your ring of the nine dragons clone starts fucking up on purpose?
Now that you've mentioned it, I think he could've killed everyone there with that shard of lighting. He still got time to steal more shen Gon Wu afterwards
GOD This show is the sole reason for my irrational obsession with anything with superpowers and abilities or anything along that sort. Items that do amazing shit? THIS SHOW WAS THE BOMB FOR ME. 😢
The Wu is the remote, you wager your Potato chips and your foe wager pack of soda. The challange is who gets the remote first being placed on obstacle courses you see on Japanese game shows
Ironically this show was pretty good, had decent morals for the kids and some competent villains and heroes with a consistent storyline and consistent character development.
@@Norinia You give them to the warriors they are best affiliated with. I really wish when any of the warriors mastered a Shen Gong Wu, their elemental power would increase in power and the power of the shen gong wu would become permanently their own power, as if they absorbed the Shen Gong Wu as a new ability for them to use. You can tell some of them were made specifically for a certain character and others weren't, but could have been used to make a side character into a main character or a reoccurring character later be a side character. Damn you chronicles!!!!!!!
When I was a kid, I enjoyed this show a lot. Items were interesting and creative. That's like Pokémon but instead of monsters you battle/bet items instead.
I couldn't believe that this is how the show was supposed to look like, I thought it was part of some kind of HD remastered edition of the show. I had memories of watching the show on my old 4:3 tv on a fuzzy analog signal, this show really looks as good as modern animated shows
@@DemBigOlEyes yeah I forgot his name lol but it’s Jermaine, he definitely should’ve been the Dragon of Lighting, even if he was just an extra like they do the special Ranger in Power Rangers
The Denshi bunny has to be my favorite. That Wu can turn you into living electricity. But the cannon blaster is kind of stupid. U turn into a cannon ball. The cannon fires you and the Wu itself is left behind.
@@alifhilmid but that kind of leaves it open to being stolen. Like after you're fired the Wu flies through the air to the owner where someone can easily intercept it.
They even show how unenthusiastic most everyone was with it when it was revealed. Like the creators weren’t that satisfied with it either and decided to make it a gag.
Holy fuckles its been 20 years since I've seen this show, ssooooo many fuckin awesome memories! Omi and his "THAT TOO!" line has stuck with me for years i love that lil bastrad!
Kimiko is also Frankie Foster, Sam Manson, Azula, Brianna Buttowski, Lin Beifong, Daphne (in the Scooby Doo movies), Catwoman (Arkham City,) and so many more
After a long long time I remember this cartoon. I totally forgot this cartoon was there in my memory and after seeing this video, I part of my brain just reawakened.
I expected this to have terrible voice acting in English, just like a lot of the kids' cartoons I watched, but it's actually very solid, good shit. Also it has Sokka in it, it's hard not to like it
This was when voice acting was being taken serious. Now most of your good voice actors from back then moved on to more adult shows/video games or doubled down on a kiddy voice.
This show would make an amazing rougue-lite game where you find random shen gon wu and upgrade them throughout the level before the showdown at the end of the area
The tiger claws are really versitile you dont even need the exact location like other teleportation powers just think were you want to go and you are there as it said it can open a portal anywere even in the heart of someone but if you combine it with the flipcoin it would be a lot harder for somobe to cach you with the enhaced agility of a mantis.
Toy companies and major retailers missed out on a great opportunity to make shen gon wu toys. They would probably be a collectors item now!
True
You're not wrong. I know they made toys of the Fist of Tebigong and the Sword of Storms. But they're very rare and very expensive.
Between this and "Danny Phantom" at the time absolutely!!!✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
Would have been awesome. I remember as a kid waiting just for the commercials to announce a Shen Gon Wu toy line. But it never came.
Yeah they really did
Man the artstyle aged very well. You would watch this today and you wouldn't know it was made years back.
Yeah you would, cause it actually looks good and has a style of its own
Lmao it's not like it's from the sixties.
10 years ago mate (2012).....hell Avatar the Last Airbender was from 2005 those are now years ago.
Edit: only got to it now. 2003 when the show aired, dang bro time flies.
Alot of shows like that
@@silveredbullet802 xiaolin showdown is from 2003 actually
I always thought it was funny how everyone in the temple got elemental Shengang Wu, while Jack somehow got super proficient with the monkey staff
Jack is supposed to based of the monkey king.
@@leosolcanonizado4065 he's the Goku of this series
He actually seemed to have a talent with body-modification Wu, like the Lotus Twister.
@@GamerFromJump So he has most talent with things that changes the body of the user makes sense that talent even went to creating a robot that can take any shape.
@@abduljah9355 Damn it, I was gonna say he's a big Goku fan, but you (kind of) beat me to it.
The Two ton tunic has been etched into the back of my mind for almost 20 years.
Same haha it just rolls off the tongue so nice
Same here, likely the alliteration and the way Omi tries to use it the first time.
Imagine been sold, but somehow would change it's form
Kimiko changing outfits each episode made me fall in love.
That was honestly one of my favorite parts of the show.
This show was amazing. The Shen Gon Wu were the best thing about the series and I enjoyed how they adapted the story with each new addition to the collection.
I always liked the little shadow thing the scroll did when a new Wu popped up. Like not only do we get a description but also a demonstration of it. And then combat application.
True I love how the items are not one time things and constantly return in stories where they make sense. Makes the world feel alive
Something I always liked about the show was how the villains used the gimmicks just as much as the heroes. I thought it was a nice touch.
Always remember Jack with Full Power Monkey Staff was unbeatable
Yup
My god I remember that. Inside of that bamboo jungle gym he was unbeatable.
I remember that some of the shengon wu works alot better with certain people
Problem was that prolonged use of the Monkey Staff affected Jack's mind. When he became full monkey he stopped caring about his goal and wanted to act all wild and reckless.
It was obviously always his favorite, too. Whenever he stole some from the Temple, he'd grab the Monkey Staff.
Jack is a unique type of a joke villain. Most of the time they just make them ugly or give them a silly voice
If you ask me he kind of has the latter.
@@jeremytung1632 It isn't Sillier than the voice of the heroes, if anything he sounds more serious
Jack was the best
His voice is silly but omi has the most ridiculous voice of the main cast and clay comes in second.
ua-cam.com/video/l8aSYDEc2fc/v-deo.html
I remember how OP the Golden Tiger Claws were at the start of the series. It's probably why Omi tossed it to the center of the earth.
Did he? I always remembered them being thrown into their own rift, so they couldn't be gotten ever again.
That's pretty much what happened. Omi made the portal to the Center of the Earth and tossed the Claws into the rift so no one could use them freely.
In the earliest parts of the series, they were OP.
Teleportation is ALWAYS busted in any show lmao
That’s why in Troll Hunter they had to nerf one of the character’s teleportation ability
If I remember correctly, he eventually got them back using the Serpents Tail.
@@muttonsword yeah Raimundo whooped all of their asses with Golden Tiger Claws alone
You have to give Jack and Kimiko credit for using the Changing Chopsticks to make working on tech easier. It's a really clever use that most people wouldn't come up with right away. Man I miss this show.
And then Antman used that idea to beat Falcon and do some damage to Ironman.
It allows one to create even more complex machinery than usual, and correct even the smallest of damages... Genius.
If you think about it, the moby morpher could also be used for that
@@nucleonegro9762 To be fair though, Shen Gong Wu tend to change hands frequently, meaning that both the heroes and the villains are forced to get really creative with whatever Shen Gong Wu they currently have on hand

You had to b there to understand how fire this show was
This unlocked the deepest memory in my prefrontal cortex
Is like a blast from the past
YES IT FOOKIN DID 😂
it's kind of cool to think what someone like jack can do with the changing chopsticks
Yep, helps him to work on hard to reach areas when he's building his robot or other things than relying on a scope
He could defeat Thanos with them
@@vgtgoat Up the butt, Antman style.
Pull a antman in thanos ass
This show was always so fun. An unsung classic
The Falcon's Eye, Serpents Tail, Tongue of Saiping, Silver Manta Ray, and Ruby of Ramses would come in handy or being up some fun to use.
I want the Golden Tiger Claws above all else. To teleport wherever you want instantaneously without the risk of getting fused to something would make life so much better.
@@STH151NicoleFan id take the shard of lightning any day.

I remember this show when I was in elementary school, me and my classmates always said this powers everytime we played with the ball. Man, that was a good time.
Same. We made up names for dodgeball wnd stuff
Lol yes 🔥 such nice memories ahahah
Using the golden tiger claw was considered cheating, at least to me, you could teleport behind someone steal his item and win.
@@samuelromerosoto3497 lol it's the reversing mirror for me 😌 ahahahha
i like how Falcon's Eye gives wall hacks and Serpents Tail gives noclip
Imagine using those during assasination!
The Sapphire Dragon was always the scariest shen Gong wu. I headcanon Dashi made that wu as a last resort
I think they said it IS a weapon of last resort.
I’d be more scared of the sands of time.
@@supersonicfan7514 Oh yeah, the sands of time is just as dangerous.
@@kristinanewman3803 the shroud of shadows isn’t one hundredth as dangerous as the sands of time. With it, you could go back in time to world war 2 and make America lose.

Golden tiger claws: rip a hole in the space time continuum, and the reversing mirror is just an Uno reverse card.
Xialoin Showdown was a great show that I think holds up really well even now 🧡
Sometimes I wish these were real. But then I remembered just how bloody dangerous these things are in the wrong hands.
Imagine losing something under the shroud of shadows

start to nail the sliper
me:you can literally end the entire show at that time if you evil enough.
Seriously. You're moving at near light speed and have a hammer.
Jack wasn't the type to kill. He prefers to humiliate or belittle others.
Now that you've mentioned it, I think he could've killed everyone there with that shard of lighting. He still got time to steal more shen Gon Wu afterwards
Man this is so nostalgic. I forgot there was so many shen gon wus! 😫 It was such a great show!
GOD This show is the sole reason for my irrational obsession with anything with superpowers and abilities or anything along that sort. Items that do amazing shit? THIS SHOW WAS THE BOMB FOR ME. 😢
This show and "Heroes" 👌
Every time my friends and I reach for something at the same time, I always shout, “I challenge you to a Shaolin showdown!”
The Wu is the remote, you wager your Potato chips and your foe wager pack of soda. The challange is who gets the remote first being placed on obstacle courses you see on Japanese game shows
Sapphire Dragon was legit on the intimidating side, horror movie tropes and it's cold, emotionless neutralization of anyone in it's vicinity.
The "mantis flip coin" will forever be iconic to me
i loved this show. i liked the fact that the badguys used the magic as much as the good guys. jack is my alltime fave villain.
This show deserved more attention.
Ironically this show was pretty good, had decent morals for the kids and some competent villains and heroes with a consistent storyline and consistent character development.
How is any of that ironic?
Holy shit, this is a blast from the past. I always used to watch this as a kid.
This doesn't look like it was made 15 years ago.
The sun chi lantern and shard of lightning were way underused. A lot of shen gong wu were.
Those were two of the coolest ones!
Yeah, but when there’s so many, what are you gonna do?
@@Norinia You give them to the warriors they are best affiliated with.

Damn you chronicles!!!!!!!
There were quite a few that I couldn't quite remember until I saw them again 🤩 I love unlocking old childhood memories
When I was a kid, I enjoyed this show a lot. Items were interesting and creative.
That's like Pokémon but instead of monsters you battle/bet items instead.
Love how all the voices on wb cartoons are all from other shows. The bad guy in this show was hot streak from static.
Dude I used to love this show back in the day. Can't believe I forgot it existed until now
The flytrap looks like a specific, particularly brutal medieval torture device.
Best part is that you can combine diff ones to have a strong ass ability. Frickin love this show!

Awww~ You just unlocked a childhood memory!
I still remember Omi's "Piece of Pie" scene then Kimiko correcting him. 😆
So many cool powers for one show, plot ideas unlimited
Honestly the 5th dragon should have been lightning seeing as the shen gong wu named after dashi was a lightning element
Bruh it should’ve been the dude that ended up training with them
@@DrippleDragon You mean the black dude with the basketball? I dont remember his name but he was cool.
@@DemBigOlEyes yeah I forgot his name lol but it’s Jermaine, he definitely should’ve been the Dragon of Lighting, even if he was just an extra like they do the special Ranger in Power Rangers
how did we never get a metroidvania game based on this show
Well we did get a video game but not in the style of a Metroid or Castlevania game. That would be awesome though.
Such a wasted idea
O
Ty Man
I needed this type of video
Big fan of Shaolin showdown
An amazing classic that deserved way. More love than it got.
This just unlocked a core memory for me
Thank you.

Shard of Lightning = Chaos Control
ZA WARUDO!!!

I loved this show so much as a lad. Good stuff.
This is pretty nostalgic, i used watch this when i was like 7 or 8
Bruh this show hasn't aged. It looks really good! haha
One of the best damn shows as a kid
Man I've not thought of this show in ages I was adicted to it as a kid, still holds up
Oh man, a video from xiaolin showdown that's not from 14 years ago! My boy Jack such a cute monkey though
2:06 favorite Jack moment poor intelligent and neglected kid
He should have smashed life form wuuya

Jack DeSena (Sokka's VA) doesn't have roles in it, AFAIK. But Grey DeLisle (Kimiko's VA) was also the VA for Azula in Avatar, so that's cool.
By far my favorite all time show as a kid, this brings back so many memories my favorite was raymundo and when ominous turned evil
Why is Jack's walk-cycle so satisfying?
Omg my favorite childhood show!
This brings major childhood memories 😍
This show is legendary and so is the game
I love this show so much. I used to create shen gon wu of my own lmao
I remember this cartoon. I actually like this cartoon. I wish I could go back to my childhood. The good old days of not having much to do.
Yoo! Finally got the name of this show and I now found 3seasons worth, Awesome!!
I liked the fact that using especific artefacts combined resulted in new and OP powers
The concept of this anime was so good I was hooked on it
TWO TON TUNIC has lived rent free in my head for 20 years straight.
This show would make an amazing rougue-lite game where you find random shen gon wu and upgrade them throughout the level before the showdown at the end of the area
*Yo this show a certified classic for real*
Such a Great show, brought a lot of memories. Thanks UA-cam
Ahhh my favorites The Monkey Staff and The Golden Tiger claws.
Totally forgot about this show haha I use to love watching it
I’m feeling nostalgia, when seeing these scenes from Xiaolin Showdown.
Wow I forgot about this show 😊👍 I loved it when I was a kid
Jack deserved a solo series
Goddammit now ik feeling to go rewatch this show.
I remember there was a honeycombs cerial box that had some mazes and puzzles themed after this show. Good times.
This show was one of my favorites to watch as a kid. That UA-cam algorithm just strike back
This show is a complete badass along with fight scenes.
one of the most slept on shows of all time
I loved the golden tiger claws i guess the fact of ripping a hole in space was pretty damn amazing
My favorites are the Serpent's Tail, Mantis Flip Coin, Third-Arm Sash and Golden Tiger Claws!
Yeh golden tiger claws is way higher tier than all combat related treasures.
But i still that dam coin better.
The tiger claws are really versitile you dont even need the exact location like other teleportation powers just think were you want to go and you are there as it said it can open a portal anywere even in the heart of someone but if you combine it with the flipcoin it would be a lot harder for somobe to cach you with the enhaced agility of a mantis.
5:15 PERFECT 👌🏼
This show was a favorite of mine growing up. Now I'm ripping it off and using it make magic items for D&D.
Dude… the music ?! I knew my tastes in music weren’t weird for no reason ! A lot of hype cartoons had super experimental soundtracks.
