Oh you’re absolutely correct. Everything relating to Jermaine was, imo, sadly underutilized. He was a great character who fit in super well with the rest of the team, and him training under Chase was suuuuuch a cool idea.

To be honest though, I have no idea how that relationship would even have been fleshed out more in the series proper… Yes, it would’ve been great if we could have had a several episode arc where Jermaine was Chase’s apprentice, but I also don’t think Jermaine is the type to be fooled for a long time either, especially once Omi and the others are there to sow a seed of doubt, thus helping him see the truth.

The big way I could see it taking place would be if Chase wasn’t revealed to the monks as Jermaine’s teacher for several episodes, and by that time he was revealed, Jermaine would have already shown Omi (and the others, but Omi in particular) the ideology of his teacher. This ideology turns out to be surprisingly solid –with a few hints of moral gray areas of course cause it’s Chase– and Omi gets drawn in by the ideas first, then finds out they originated with Chase.

Not only would this introduce another level of “seducing Omi to the dark side” so to speak, but would also give room to show Chase as a competent teacher to Jermaine, giving both another layer of character complexity as well as more insight into their relationship. By this time too, it would make more sense to us as an audience why Jermaine is so adamant about sticking with Chase, cause we can see that he makes at least a few good points.

Someone really said Raimundo didn't deserve to be Shoku Warrior/Leader. As if Omi did?

Look, I love our resident cueball as much as the next person, but there's no way he deserved to be leader considering everything leading up to the finale was his fault in the first place. His ego literally made him the worst candidate. Don't think for a second that had he became Shoku Warrior/Leader that he wouldn't rub it in his friends' face or use his position to look down on them, because he sure as hell did it to Raimundo damn near the entire second season for taking the longest to become a Xiaolin Apprentice, and even after he obtained the rank, Omi still looked down on him. Omi needed to learn humility, and what better way for him to learn his lesson than for Raimundo - the one Omi looked down on the most; the one he thought was the least capable as a monk - to be chosen as leader?
