Line 3:
* At the end of ''Royal Rumble'', Omi is getting owned by Jack and his sidekicks. He activates the Sun Chi Lantern, absorbs the chi of his friends, and sends the bad guys packing.
* He gets these from time to time.
{{quote| '''Omi''': Raimundo, I am begining to think you are not enacting some sort of secret elaborate plan.<br />
'''Raimundo''': Nothing escapes you, Omi.<br />
'''Omi''': [[Badass Boast|Not even you]]. }}
* His Tiger Instincts are pretty awesome.
{{quote| '''Raimundo:''' Tangle Web Comb!<br />
'''Omi:''' I'm good. *combs backfires on Rai* }}
* Even turned into a {{spoiler|kitten}} Omi ''still'' kicks ass!
{{quote| '''Omi''': Sparrow eating hot dog!<br />
'''Chase Young''': (double take)...Sparrow eating hot dog? }}
** Yes ladies and gentelman, Omi just made '''CHASE FREAKIN YOUNG''' do a double take!!
Line 22:
* In the final showdown of the series, {{spoiler|Raimundo takes out all three of the show's major antagonists (as well as Heylin!Guan) by himself and is later promoted to Xiaolin leader.}}
* Before that, we have all four monks plus {{spoiler|Good!Chase}} trapped by every enemy. Rai promptly volunteers to drink the [[It Makes Sense in Context|bowl of 1500-year-old]] [[Psycho Serum|Lao Mang Long Soup]] so that the others can escape, even reasoning his case when [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|Kimiko]] instantly steals it because they don't want him turning evil. He would have gone through with it, too, {{spoiler|if Good!Chase [[Heroic Sacrifice|hadn't taken it, instead]].}}
* His [[Battle in Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]] in "Dreamstalker".Not only he is able to [[Shut UP, Hannibal|reject]] Hannibal's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]],finally [[Character Development|getting over his fear]] of not being good enough to be a monk,he also beat him in battle by teaming up with {{spoiler|his inner fear}}.The best highlight is when he made a [[Blow You Away|wind-punch]] strong enough to leave its shape in '''a mountain'''.
{{quote| '''Raimundo''': I am a wu dai warrior. And I am ''the best''!.}}
 
=== Kimiko ===
* Kimiko gets hers in the episode "Tangled Web", when after losing a Shen Gong Wu to Jack and having problems to control another named the Tangle Web Comb, she manages to make a comeback, fully focus on the task and use said comb to win her fight against Jack ''and'' get the SGW they were fighting for ''and'' get the one he stole at the beginnig back. For double awesome, she does this ''while wearing a kimono''.
{{quote| Kimiko: "I never met an accessory I couldn't HANDLE!"}}
* Then there was that time she used the Mind Reader Conch in conjuntion with some other Wu to get the inside scoop on the groups enemies.
* Ying-Yang Yo-Yo induced {{spoiler|Heylin!Kimiko}} is pretty scary, and not to be underestimated in a fight ether.
* When Kimiko blasts Sibini with the Eye of Dashi, combining it's power with her own fire-power in the episode "The Evil Within".
* Although Chase and Hannibal thought she was Jack at the time, for Disguised!Kimiko to win a Xiaolin Showdown Trio against CHASE YOUNG and HANNIBAL ROY BEAN by tricking them into fighting against each other, which is what caused them both to lose the showdown, clearly pegs this as a CMOA for Kimiko and a very strong argument for Brains Over Brawn.
** Although, her disguise almost didn't work because {{spoiler|It is highly hinted at the end of the showdown that Chase figured out it was Kimiko who fought and not Jack}}
* Raimundo sends Kimiko's PDA a virus. What does she do with it? She isolates it while calmly sitting in Jack Spicer's cage after he catches her, calmly ignoring her opponent's taunts all the way even as he leaves to steal their Wu, and then sends it to Jack's computer so that she can escape. Then she [[Crowning Moment of Funny|crashes a car into the robot impersonating her,]] [[Big Damn Heroes|right after RoboKim catches all three guys.]]
Line 37:
=== Clay ===
* One that comes to mind is [[The Big Guy|Clay]] defeating an [[Enemy Mime]] that was copying his every movement. So Clay ''punched himself in the face'', causing the mime copying him to knock himself out, while all Clay got was a black eye. Dojo put it best:
{{quote| Dojo: Way to take one for the team there.}}
* Clay assembling stone armor around himself in "Treasure of a Blind Swordsman" and [[Foe-Tossing Charge|charging]] the cactus-monsters. It's not a particularly special moment, but it sure looks [[Badass]].
* How does his Pa know that he's become a man? Clay finally tells him to [[Calling the Old Man Out|shut his trap and let Clay win the Showdown his way.]] After spending the bulk of the episode [["Well Done, Son" Guy|cowtowing to the man's every order]], this was especially gratifying.
Line 46:
 
=== Jack Spicer ===
* Even normally ineffectual villain Jack Spicer got one, when he used what everyone agreed to be the most useless Shen Gong Wu (the Changing Chopsticks) to essentially pwn the good guys and steal all of their Shen Gong Wu in a [[Xanatos Gambit]] that the good guys didn't even realize until the episode was over.
** Defeating Katnappe with the Reversing Mirror right after he had been woken up by the commotion. Despite being one of the most relatively normal characters on the show, he sure has some [[Badass Normal|mad reflexes]].
** How about the snowboarding showdown? Turns out that Spicer isn't quite so ineffectual in challenges where snow-sports are involved.
Line 52:
** I'm surprised nobody mentioned the part where he ''punched Robo!Jack square in the face, knocking him to the ground, and then ran over him'' in "The Apprentice". I don't know about you guys, but I found that part really surprising, seeing that this is Jack we're talking about.
*** Not to mention his prior face-off with Robo!Jack, in which Jack ''beheaded'' his robot double using the Shard of Lightning. Granted, it's a short-lived victory, but it's unexpectedly badass for Jack.
** And of course there's ''Days Past''. {{spoiler|Heylin-mode}} Raimundo has the Xiaolin monks cornered and mockingly offers to let them join the Heylin. When they refuse, he taunts, "Face it. I'm the only one that can save you!" A calm voice abruptly replies, "Wrong." Jack then flies in with a new aircraft, completely destroys the rock-gollums surrounding the monks, saves them, then flies off, all within ''nine seconds''. The reasons behind him [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking a level in badass]]? He doesn't want Wuya taking over the word, because ''that's his job''.
* Even Good!Jack gets one when he instantly traps the Chi-Creature in the Sphere of Yun while everyone else was paralyzed with fear.
* The beginning of 'In The Flesh', where Jack builds his Shen Gong Wu Detectobot, showing that he no longer has to take Wuya's crap.
{{quote| '''Jack:''' Face it, you old witch. You're ''obsolete.''}}
* Maybe it's because of his characterization, but when Jack isn't being the [[Butt Monkey|ButtMonkey]] these moments tend to stand out. How about when he ''trapped Chase Young in the Sphere of Yun and took over his fortress''?
