Out Of All The Xiaolin Monk Boys, Which One Do You Think Would Get The Most Distinctive Reaction From

What do you think Dojo did after Dashi's passing? With the whole original trio gone and the Shen Gong Wu all presumably hidden and dormant, did Dojo just take up permanent residence at the temple he's still at today and spend a few centuries mourning alone there? Or did Dojo go stay with the Northern Cho-Cho he said he descends from for a while?

I like to think Dojo stayed at the temple to watch over Dashi’s students, the first or one of the first generations of Dragons in training. Even though there were no Shen Gong Wu for them to retrieve, he probably had to fly them from place to place to fight the forces of evil, save villages, and stuff like that. He also had to guard the Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu as stated in the first episode.

But he must have tracked down his dragon relatives and visited them at some point. I mean fifteen thousand years is a long time. However, his closest family is the Xiaolin Monks and his home is the temple. The saddest part is imagining how many generations of Xiaolin Dragons he had watched grow only to have to say goodbye.

Dashi, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?

Guan: It means like in hand-to-hand combat.

Dashi: Ohhhh-

Chase: Both of you get out of this kitchen.

Branch's Poem

Told you this really fits. So I made this little edit to test my theory. Whoever wrote this really knew what's going on. Look:

"Fall came early (meaning early-childhood trauma, also fall has a double sense here. It both refers to sudden change in the season, and falling from above, which physically and metaphorically happened in the mist of events)

My sun was taken (highlighting either the loss of his Grandmother or of his colors)

So I locked myself inside (well, literally)

Restart (him joining Poppy in her adventure)

Fresh start (getting closer to the Trolls while helping out Bridget)

Head start (being the only Troll ready to give out hope, while everyone else became faithless)

Spring (if Fall meant the loss of his Grandma, then Spring means finding Poppy, someone new to love)

Chains become strings (how he found his long-lost voice, thus freeing himself from the chains holding his mind back to the past, and getting back his colors)

Lift up (he lifted up his own spirit)

Lift up (he lifted up everybody else's spirits)

Rise (becoming as one with she who just became the new ruler of their kind)

I am Branch (simple say, though indication of wholeness in identity)

Bloom" (metaphor for growth with the flower symbol, mentioning what happens to branches on Spring-time, but it could also refer to Poppy, of course)

Every Lloyd ship is so unhinged it's crazy when you think about it.

I mean, there's this psycho princess who's secretly the leader of a biker gang and also a cult who wants to resurrect his departed father and conquer the city.

A girl who can turn into a giant three-tailed wolf and is on a revenge quest to assassinate the evil emperor who turned her tribe to ice.

The prince of an underwater civilization who had to battle his evil octopus brother for the throne.

An anthropomorphic tiger man who's also the leader of a cult trying to resurrect an ancient evil after his home land had been compromised.

And then there's frickin Brad at the flower shop

Like you can't make this stuff up 😭

Cole: Why isn't the statue smirking at me?

Nya: It isn't smirking at anyone, they're all just imagining it.

Cole: Three of us saw it, Nya. How do you explain that?

Nya: *points at Lloyd* Sleep deprivation. *points at Kai* Paranoia. *points at Jay* Delusional Personality Disorder.

Ah yes, Kimiko Tohomiko and Blythe Baxter. Growing up, they were the only cartoon characters I knew of that came with a new outfit every single episode. I used to think it was kind of strange back then. I mean most cartoon characters seem to have a single set of clothing and hairstyle, so I really appreciate the design effort that went into this. They didn't have to do it but they did it anyway!

Dashi: What are your goals?

Chase: To pet all the cats.

Dashi: No, training goals.

Chase: To be strong enough to climb every tree.

Dashi: That's good.

Chase: So I can pet all the cats.

Dashi: Chase, no.
