Line 15:
=== Raimundo ===
* Raimundo combining the Sword of the Storm and the Eye of Dashi in "Shen Yi Bu", complete with [[Pre
** Raimundo [[Offhand Backhand|stylishly finishing]] the showdown for the Moonstone Locust from "The Demon Seed".
** Raimundo's ([[Justified Trope|justified]]!) [[Surprise Checkmate]] against the T-Rex from "Oil in the Family" echoes the showdown with Gigi.
*** What these three showdowns have in common is Raimundo's attitude during them. Each showdown follows a [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|mistake or failing]] on Raimundo's part, and as such, they've [[The Snark Knight|activated]] the "brilliant" half of his [[Brilliant but Lazy]]-ness. Throughout all three showdowns, typically brash, cocky Raimundo becomes calm and focused on his goal, and he caps off each [[Badass]] performance with an effortless and stylish win. The fights showcase why he deserves to be a Xiaolin Dragon.
* Raimundo's [[Curb Stomp Battle]] against Omi in "The Return of Master Monk Guan". When Rai goes all out, he goes ''all out''.
* 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 The Center of The 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''!.}}
Line 38:
* 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
* 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.
