Grand Master Dashi

Grand Master Dashi is the overarching protagonist of Xiaolin Showdown and Xiaolin Chronicles. He was the legendary Xiaolin Dragon and the only person that defeated Wuya 1500 years ago. According to the Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu, Dashi was the greatest Xiaolin Warrior of all time.
He was mentioned in the first episode of Xiaolin Showdown "The Journey of A Thousand Miles", telling the tale of how he trapped Wuya in a puzzle box 1500 years ago. At his side was Master Monk Guan and Chase Young, who was eventually turned evil by Hannibal Roy Bean in exchange for immortality and super-strength.
Grand Master Dashi is voiced by Tom Kenny, who also voiced SpongeBob SquarePants.
==History==
Grand Master Dashi used the Shen Gong Wu to defeat Wuya 1500 years ago. After he imprisoned her in a wooden puzzle box he got Dojo to hide the Shen Gong Wu around the earth to maintain the balance between good and evil.
It is also likely that in creating the Shen Gong Wu he created Mala Mala Jong. For his reasons for the Sapphire dragon and Mala Mala Jong is still unknown.
==Role in the Show==
When Wuya regained her power by Raimundo, Omi traveled to the past to get another Puzzle Box from Dashi. When Omi was looking for him, he found a sleeping man on the hay wearing a straw bamboo hat over his face. Omi was trying to tell him who Dashi was but he didn't care. However, Dojo came in and blew his cover. Then Dashi agreed to make another puzzle box for Omi provided the latter beat him in a contest. Omi inadvertently created the name Xiaolin Showdown for the contest. Dashi stated that if the young Xiaolin warrior could take a pebble from his hand before time ran out, he could have a new puzzle box.
When the showdown started, a giant hourglass was placed in a courtyard, and stairs in every direction surrounded the hourglass. Dashi started running through the stairs, and Omi struggled to follow him. The Xiaolin monk failed to catch up to his opponent as time was passing, so he promptly used the Orb of Tornami to flood the area, but Dashi broke down a door and used it to float on the water. Dashi mocked Omi for using Wu against a Grand Master Dragon, and Omi ulitized the Orb to freeze Dashi's hand with the pebble in it. Thinking quickly, Dashi slided down the stairs on his hand and escaped. Omi followed him, and tried one last attempt to get the pebble, but to no avail. As Omi feared he was about to lose, the Grand Master Dragon pointed out he never tried asking for the pebble. Confused by this choice, Omi requested him for the pebble, and received it, winning the showdown.
Dashi said that he challenged Omi in a Xiaolin Showdown for 2 reasons: it was funny to the former and Dojo, and to learn to suspect the unsuspected. When Omi asked him why he couldn't open it, Dashi told the young warrior it would open when it needed to. Omi asked Dashi a way back home, but as he didn't have any time traveling Shen Gong Wu anymore, he told him that he would need to figure it out on his own. So Omi froze himself, with the Orb of Tornami and came back into the present.
Later after Raimundo realized that his friends were the most important thing for him, he opened the box, releasing Dashi's ghost. Dashi saw Wuya and remarked "Wuya, the years have not been kind". Then he flew, went through her, transformed her into a ghost and sucked her into the Puzzle Box.
Grand Master Dashi made his final appearance in the episode, Time After Time, where he teamed up with younger Master Monk Guan and an good-aligned Chase Young in fighting off Wuya's forces when she was still in power. Later on, Omi joined the three warriors to destroy the rock monsters, and Dashi finished the battle by sealing Wuya in the puzzle box, thus restoring the peace.
== Personality ==
Dashi strives to maintain balance in the world, and takes it upon himself to defend and help those who cannot help themselves. Despite this, he is shown to snarky, lazy and not above poking fun at others, all traits seemingly absent from any recorded history.
