Grand Master Dashi was a legendary Xiaolin Dragon and the only person who defeated Wuya 1500 years prior to the start of Xiaolin Showdown. 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", which told the tale of how he trapped Wuya in a puzzle box 1500 years ago. At his side were Master Monk Guan and Chase Young, with the latter eventually turned evil by Hannibal Roy Bean in exchange for immortality and super-strength.
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. Furthermore, he took the knowledge to create Shen Gong Wu to his grave to prevent misusage.
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.
Role in the Show[]
When Wuya regained her power by Raimundo Pedrosa, Omi traveled to the past to get another Puzzle Box from Dashi in order to re-seal her away. When Omi was looking for him, he found a sleeping man on a hay pile wearing a bamboo hat over his face. Omi was trying to tell him who Dashi was, but he didn't care, leading the monk to declare him lazy and worthless. However, Dojo suddenly appears and blows his cover, revealing him to be Dashi. Perplexed by the true Dashi, who was seemingly not the paragon of virtue the ancient stories implied, he nonetheless requested his help. Dash challenged Omi to a Xiaolin Showdown in which the reward was the Puzzle box. The way to win the Showdown was simple but done in a way to teach Omi a lesson; retrieve a pebble from Dashi's hand.
He said that he challenged him to a Xiaolin Showdown for two reasons:
- It was funny to him and Dojo.
- To learn to suspect the unsuspected.
Omi could not open the Puzzle box upon first trying and asked him why. Dashi told Omi it will open when it needs to. as Omi asked Dashi if he knew 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 in the future, Raimundo realized that his friends are the most important thing to him, so he opened the box, releasing Dashi's ghost. Dashi saw Wuya and said "Wuya!, the years have not been kind". He flew through her, transforming her back into a ghost, and sucked her into the Puzzle Box as Omi, Kimiko, Clay, Dojo and Jack Spicer are freed from the Golems.
Dojo[]
Dojo was Dashi's dragon in his day and the two were very close. Dojo helped Dashi hide the Shen Gong Wu around the Earth. It is also implied that Dojo was brought up by Dashi, which he implied in the episode "Pandatown" where he states, "This is the part of town Master Dashi never let me play in." It is unknown how Dojo reacted when Dashi died.
Wuya[]
Dashi and Wuya shared a very complex relationship. It has not been revealed how the two first met. However, despite the fact the two were mortal enemies, Wuya seemed to have a good sense of respect for how he dressed. She once stated to Raimundo, "He was always was a fool; a smart dresser, but a fool." This also implied she knew him prior to their war with each other, which would also explain why Dashi spoke in a smug and childish tone when he talked to her. Through Xiaolin legend, they had become the symbols of good and evil (Xiaolin and Heylin) -- Dashi representing good and Wuya representing evil.
Omi[]
When Omi traveled to the past with the Sands of Time, Dashi showed a friendly disposition toward him and demonstrates confidence in him after hearing his story. He also implied that he believes Omi has the potential to become a Grandmaster Xiaolin Dragon like himself, indicating that he sees great potential in the young warrior. The two had no other contact besides the short moments during time travel.

Did You Know...?[]
- Dashi (大师) means great master in Chinese, revealing his rank as a Grand Master.
- Humorously, this makes his full title and name rather redundant, being "Grand Master Great Master".
- His yellow complexion and voice are reminiscent of SpongeBob SquarePants, whom Tom Kenny also voices.
