Show Description
Xiaolin Showdown is based on the ancient mythical
Xiaolin martial arts inspired by Chinese monks thousands of years ago. The keys
to controlling the powers of good and evil are held within an assortment of
sacred objects, called the Shen Gong Wu. These objects, each with unique
supernatural powers, can only be captured after an extreme martial art-inspired
"Double Dare" showdown occurs. From San Francisco to Paris, from Japan to Rio,
from Monte Carlo to New York, there's a Xiaolin Showdown going down.
Omi, a naive young monk, gifted in the ancient
discipline of Xiaolin martial arts, leads a team of warriors-in-training for the
powers of good - J-pop hipster girl Kimiko; flashy street smart Brazilian
Raimundo; and Texas Kung Fu cowboy Clay. With their cantankerous dragon guide,
this fearless foursome traverses the globe in search of the mysterious Shen Gung
Wu.
On the other side of the ying/yang wheel, evil has a
junior champion of its own - evil boy genius Jack Spicer. Mentored by the
ancient witch Wuya and accompanied by his custom-built robot army, Jack teams up
with outlandish supervillains to possess the powerful Shen Gong Wu for his own
wicked plans.
It is a tight race as both sides know that the one who
gathers all of the Shen Gong Wu will become an unstoppable force for good or
evil! Aided by the mystical powers of the Shen Gong Wu, each showdown culminates
in a fantasy universe showcasing gravity-defying, extreme martial arts skills.
Calling all crouching tigers and hidden dragons...let's go Xiaolin Showdown!
