It'd be fun to translate Xiaolin Showdown into a manga-esc comic. Like separate the stories by arcs. This would be a sample from the 3rd arc - Chase Young! Let me know what you guys think I could start to do this more often.
Xiaolin Showdown au where Jack's evil genius thing is just a larp-like act he puts extreme effort into and he fully knows it's just a fun thing he does to stave off his loneliness, just normal-er Jack au. But when he opens Wuya's puzzlebox she sees all this shit and assumes Jack is onto world domination too and asks for his assistance. Jack goes along with it cause he's scared of what she could do if he refused. Yeah sure she has no body, but what if she posseses him or haunts him or something? He'll figure it out eventually.
Cue him running into the monks and the whole thing plays out similar to canon, as well as Jack getting some more context to his situation. After the Eye of Dashi encounter he manages to hack into Kimiko's PDA and they have a little "friendly" chat where Jack manages to convince them he's just going along with what Wuya told him cause he doesn't know how to deal with her or if she's dangerous. After getting explained that she is powerless in this form Jack is ready to tell her to scram until Raimundo comes up with an idea. Wuya could always find someone with actual nefarious intentions. Since Jack's, by his own admisdion, just putting on a show, he can keep Wuya in check and prevent her from rising to power by pretending to be on her side. Jack, not having much else to do, and finding the prospect of going on adventures and doing something that can almost be consideted hanging out with friends really nice, agrees.
Xiaolin Showdown but the conflict between the monks and Jack is just pretend. That's it.
They secretly meet up to discuss stuff, Jack gradually learns how to socialize and gets friends. Yeah!
How did Grand master Dashi even create the Shen gun wu? And why isn’t wuya’s puzzle box not a Shen gun wu while the mosaic scale that trapped shibini is?
The SGW were created with good ole' Xiaolin ✨M A G I C✨!! *jazz hands*
Shen Gong Wu were created to defeat Wuya. Ultimately these mystical, magical items could not defeat her, so something else was needed to trap and imprison her. A simple puzzle box was all that was needed. Maybe Dashi should have started with the puzzle box first?
These are my educated guesses, but only Hui truly knows.
Needle of binding: "sews" two objects together in an unbreakable bond. Effect wears off after a few hours
Past lives scroll: Displays pictures of the holder's past lives (specifically for fanfiction purposes)
Gonna try to draw them....along with all the other stuff I keep saying I'll draw
Edit: I'm changing the scroll to a highly reflective cup. You pour a liquid in and see your past lives. Then, you can drink from it to gain the memories of one of your past lives.
You keep those memories along with those of your current life, but you the effect only works once, and you can only pick one past life.
I was thinking of having the Third Arm Sash be Clover's favorite Shen Gong Wu, I remembered how Clay used it with his Earth powers, and I couldn't decide between what Clover using it with her Nature powers would be, vines in the shape of an arm or a tree limb in the shape of an arm. Input would be appreciated.
