This show is extremely funny, using hilarious anime and great plots. No one is killed in this show. At all. Even though the shows main grind is the characters collecting Shen Gong Wu, or Shen Gon Wu, it still keeps the plot fresh with unexpected elements. The characters do use " butt " quite often and laugh and act like its funny. As I said before, no one gets killed. Jack Spicer, the villain, is a hilarious, bumbling boy genius, with a 1500 year old ghost named wuya for a sidekick. Jack is actually a wimp without his robots, and sells out his friends easily. As the review stated, there are some stereotypical elements in it. But not everyone Asian knows martial arts. Its just that the heroes live in a secluded area with many temples and monks. It has great role models, as the heroes repeatedly try to win over the bad guy to the other side, and there is a clear line between bad guy and good guys. Also, obeying authority is key for the heroes to progress in their training.

I rate this title off for age 17 and give itFound out my son was watching this by sadistic behavior
I've never even seen this show. I have a five year old, and he started coming over to my house from his dad's, pretending to murder and shoot the stuffed animals, tying them up, and excitedly doing all the stuff that he said "Jack Slicer" did. Sick sadistic trash trash trash. Don't let your kids watch this. Its sadistic psycho shit shit shit. I'm angry that my son was exposed to this, the father told me he just assumed it was an okay show to watch because it was a cartoon. Don't let your kids watch it, its sick trash.
