"The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean" is the forty-second episode of Xiaolin Showdown. It was written by Stephen Sustarsic and directed by Jeff Allen. It was originally broadcast in the United States on Kids WB on October 1, 2005.
Overview[]
A new Shen Gong Wu, the Moby Morpher, has been revealed. Kimiko manages to get it, but it is soon stolen by the Ying-Ying Bird. The bird takes it to Hannibal Roy Bean, the villain responsible for turning Chase Young evil and who Chase trapped in the Ying-Yang World almost immediately after being turned evil. Hannibal Bean then tricks Omi by disguising himself as Jack into freeing him from the Ying-Yang World, and now Bean plans to unleash a new type of evil on the world.
Synopsis[]
A new Shen Gong Wu, the Moby Morpher, has been revealed. Kimiko Tohomiko and Wuya fight a showdown for it, using the world-jumping magic of the Ying Yo-Yo and Yang Yo-Yo, respectively, to dodge meteors and reach the Moby Morpher first. Kimiko wins, but Jack Spicer and the parrot he captured appear on the scene. The parrot steals the Moby Morpher and several other Shen Gong Wu, but to Jack’s surprise, it reveals itself to be the Ying-Ying Bird, capturing and teleporting him to the Ying-Yang World. Back at the Xiaolin Temple, Raimundo is wearing a bucket on his head while playing keep away and Kimiko is holding a vacuum and Omi is wearing a helmet and holding a hair dryer while sitting inside the box alongside Dojo when the four of them are having downtime. Master Fung smiles then tells Raimundo, Kimiko, Omi and Clay to leave to the Ying-Yang World via the Silver Manta Ray because Dojo is unable to fly to that location.
The bird leads Jack to a large prison, where Good Jack suddenly pops up and tries to tell him not to get any closer. It is revealed that this is the part of Jack that was left behind in the Ying-Yang world as a distraction for the Chi Creature in "Finding Omi." After learning that the prison is the residence of Hannibal Roy Bean, the villain who turned Chase Young evil and was imprisoned in the Ying-Yang World, Jack is awestruck, as Bean is his evil hero. Evil Jack ignores the warnings of his good counterpart and proceeds to speak with Hannibal through the prison walls. Hannibal tries to get Jack to free him, promising his horde of Shen Gong Wu in return.
Meanwhile, Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay have followed Jack by using the Ying-Yang Yo-Yo and navigating the Silver Manta Ray for an aerial search, as Dojo cannot fly in the Ying-Yang World. The realm’s magic causes their craft to crash, so Omi, Raimundo and Kimiko proceed on foot, leaving Clay behind to fix it. Good Jack finds them soon after and tells them that Bad Jack has gone to Hannibal Roy Bean. Dojo then explains that Hannibal may very well be the greatest evil force in existence, as he is the one who convinced Chase Young to turn to the Heylin Side 1500 years before, after which Chase double-crossed him, and trapped him in the Ying-Yang world. Raimundo doesn't get how someone as small as Hannibal could be so powerful, but Omi quotes Master Fung by saying, "One's strength isn't determined by their size, but by the size of one's strength." But then Kimiko responds with, "That may be, but he is still just a bean," which makes Raimundo happy but Omi sad.
Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Dojo arrive at the same prison, finding Jack inside, who cries at being left behind by Hannibal. The monks free him (after taunting him a little), but on the way back, they are surprised to run into yet another Jack. Both Evil Jacks claim to be the real one. They expose the impostor when Raimundo uses the Ring of the Nine Dragons to reunite Good and Evil Jack. They realize that the Jack they freed was actually Hannibal Roy Bean, disguised as Jack with the Moby Morpher, which the real Jack never actually freed Bean in the first place. Omi, Raimundo, and Kimiko all use their Wudai powers trying to stop Bean, but they are no match for Hannibal as he easily deflects the water, wind, and fire with his bare hands. Hannibal escapes, and they return to their world on the repaired Silver Manta Ray without further mishap. However, once they arrive back in the real world, Chase Young attacks Clay, revealing him to be Hannibal Bean in Clay's form (the real Clay was tied up and stuffed in the cargo hold). Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Dojo, Jack and Chase see Hannibal ride off on the Ying-Ying Bird, planning to unleash a new type of evil on the world. Omi hears Clay's voice from inside the Silver Manta Ray and opens it to free him. Clay tells Omi "I'm afraid we got big problems pardner". Omi says "I know, you ripped the words from inside my mouth". Chase says "You fools!" You don't know what you've done!" You have unleashed the greatest evil has ever seen!" while Omi unties the rope around Clay's hands then Raimundo says "Sounds like end of the world time again!" The episode ends on an ominous note, with Chase Young shuddering at his escape, saying this is far worse than the world's end. Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay, Dojo and Jack are terrified of what Chase told the six of them about releasing Hannibal Roy Bean from the Ying-Yang world.

Did you know[]
- The mechanics behind the Yin Yoyo and Yang Yoyo are retconned in this episode. Dojo mentions that entering the Yin Yang World if one is evil will change them good, but this differs from previous episodes. It was previously established that entering and leaving the Yin Yang World using the Yin Yoyo will cause one to leave their good chi behind, which implies doing so with the Yang Yoyo will cause one to leave their bad chi behind. In this episode proper, Kimiko and Wuya enter and exit the Yin Yang World using the Yin and Yang Yoyos respectively; the initial entry inverts their alignments, but re-entering and exiting restores them to normal.
- Jack is reunited with his missing half previously left behind in the Yin Yang World, which had been split off from his time as Good Jack using The Ring of the Nine Dragons.
- Wuya's Golems can be shown during a flashback of the relationship of Master Monk Guan (character) and Chase Young.
- Kimiko is the fourth monk to turn temporary evil for an episode.
- Hannibal disguised himself as Jack, Omi, Dojo and Clay.
- Wuya still treats Raimundo better than the other three monks despite they are enemies unlike In the Flesh, Days Past and Citadel of Doom when she asked him to join the Heylin side.
- This is the fifth episode that the end of the world is mentioned after Dangerous Minds, Enter the Dragon, The Emperor Scorpion Strikes Back, Judging Omi. Plus, the end of the world is mentioned during the episode Hannibal's Revenge.
- This is the third episode that the monks isn't riding on Dojo after Enter the Dragon, The Demon Seed and Dangerous Minds.
- The outfit that Kimiko wore during Something Jermaine appears for the second time alongside her hairstyle.
- Dojo is wearing the same bonnet from Hear Some Evil, See Some Evil when he played alongside Megan.
- When Omi, Jack Spicer, Good Jack, Raimundo, Kimiko and Dojo are running away from the prison cell during this episode references when Clay, Omi, Jack Spicer, Kimiko, Dojo and Raimundo ran away from the collapsing Wuya's Palace at the near end of the episode Citadel of Doom.

Meteor Shower[]
Kimiko and Wuya both touch the Moby Morpher at the same time, starting a Xiaolin Showdown. Wuya wagers her Ying Yo-Yo against Kimiko's Yang Yo-Yo. The game is Meteor Shower, and the first to reach the Moby Morpher wins the showdown.
When the showdown starts, the Moby Morpher is on a rock in the middle of a ring, with meteor craters all around. Wuya and Kimiko start the showdown and use their Wu to enter the Ying-Yang World, continuing to switch back between good and evil in order to dodge the meteors. They continue to go back and forth until Kimiko exits the Ying-Yang World good right next to the Moby Morpher. She grabs the Moby Morpher, winning the showdown, with Kimiko good and Wuya evil.
