jermaine


does anyone at all remember omi's freind jermaine? you know the kid omi met when dey were lookin' for the serpent's tail, an in another episode when chase young was teachin' jermaine (who is now a wudai warrior)?
if so, shouldn't he be the dragon of lightning?

reply

hmmmm...dragon of...there are only basically four elements unless you want to start going all Sailor Moon or Captain Planet or any other program that had more than four elements, on this. Maybe there could be more than one of an element...but then it would just not be right. I didn't help at all did I?

...sorry about that

this is from wikipedia, admittedly not the greatest resource yet quite accurate in this case:

"The use of the artifacts is shown to be usually combined with the use of the martial arts, which are portrayed as evoking internal, mystical powers linked to the classical elements that work synergistically with the Shen Gong Wu. The show makes frequent use of Chinese culture and archetypes despite the international setting — the Xiaolin Temple is in China and the origins of most of the Shen Gong Wu all seem to be Chinese. However, the elements they use are not Chinese. Chinese Mythology refers to the 5 elements as earth, water, metal, wood, and fire. They use the Greek elements of fire, earth, water, and wind."

That considered Jermaine would be the Warrior of Metal or Wood.

Lightning is just a byproduct of Fire. Not an actual element of its own.

what the hell are u talkin' about!!! of course lightning is an element!!!! how can lightning be a byproduct of fire when lightning comes from the sky and fire burns on the ground. come 2 think of it ice is its own element it a fusion of 2 elements

wind+water=ice
fire+earth=metal
water+earth=wood

reply

Don't forget fire + wind = lightning.

reply

how does fire and wind make lightning???

reply

And fire+water= Smoke, everyone's favorite ninja robot. Just had to add that...

Watch Avatar: The Last Airbender. They explain Lightning as a technique of firebending.

Though Jermaine did become a Wudai Warrior, he was not a chosen one like the others, so all he had/has going for him is just the martial arts--i.e. no powers. Wudai Warrior <> Chosen One. Would you not agree the other monks at the temple were probably at wudai warrior class? Master Fung bested all of the warriors at once but he never possessed any of their elemental powers. He had some sick moves but just martial arts.
