Wuya

Wuya is a character from the 2003 Kids' WB animated series Xiaolin Showdown and its 2013 sequel series Xiaolin Chronicles. An evil Heylin witch with various dark magical powers, she plays the role of a frequent antagonist throughout the series, and is often an evil cohort with Jack Spicer.

Tournament History

Wuya would participate in all six Ms. /co/ tournaments to date. For a long time, her round three performance in 2018 would remain her best. She faced three DC girls in a row before losing to the year's eventual runner-up Starfire. The following year, she lost in the first round to Jinx, yet another DC girl. Her first-round elimination to Emmy in 2020 was subject to controversy, as it was discovered Emmy was being rigged by a Spanish-language Facebook page named Random Cartoon. She returned once more in 2021, losing the first round yet again to Mandy. Wuya returned a fifth time in 2022 to lose once more in round 1 to the established powerhouse Frankie Foster in what was a somewhat commendably close match. Although not regarded as a particularly strong contender, her consistent appearance showed an enduring character to anon's over the years. A lot of her bad luck could also be tossed up to having horrendous match-up luck for the longest time.

She would return for her sixth tournament during Ms. /co/ 2023. After years of swift losses, her supporters came out fierce with mass amounts of campaigning and OC. She finally got a lucky break at the start of the tournament, going against newcomer Gretchen from Camp Lakebottom followed by Velma Dinkley. The second match ended up being extremely close, yet she managed to prevail through. Her competition got far tougher after this point, but the starting momentum started to greatly change her favors. She got sizable margins over Wendy Corduroy and Lord Dominator, the latter being especially threatening due to her revived thread support and previous Elite Eight status. Wuya would end up entering 2023's own Elite Eight as one of the favorites, being her first and only bout into the quarter-finals and beyond.

Her first Elite Eight match was against the returning EVE, finally being the one to take down the robot whose fans suddenly became active for this match after several rounds of mostly being silent. The top four of Eris, Raven, Toph Beifong, and Wuya was considered one of the best for Ms. /co/ in years, if not among the best out of 4chan tournaments in general. As a result, it wasn't entirely certain who would prevail at this point. Toph had formidable momentum, but people were swayed by Eris and Wuya's campaigns to push them to the finals. The duo's supporters had formed somewhat of an alliance, which made this fight bittersweet. Despite people seeing a slight lean on Eris' odds, Wuya would end up pulling off a close victory over the Greek goddess. Many praised her victory, comparing her favorably along the previous winners.

Though many were happy to have a widely agreeable controversy-free Ms. /co/ winner after so long, this would not last as just a few months later Wuya was implicated in a major controversy, where she was revealed to have been a favorite character and recipient of much campaigning in 2023 by the widely disliked host NightShiftAnon. This came to the shock of many anons, as Wuya suddenly became the target of rigging accusations due to the host's perceived favoritism combined with the lack of official voting forms results to verify the legitimacy of her victory, compounded by the years enforced e-mail requirements and relatively low voter turnout. Though Wuya still had other campaigners pushing for her win, and is still seen by her fans as a great winner, this controversy has unfortunately come to be associated with her victory, and Wuya from thenceforth became bound in tourney meta with the host NightShiftAnon.

Despite her perfect attendance record, Wuya would no longer appear in future Ms. /co/ tournaments due to the Jenny Rule against previous champions returning, which at the time left only 12 girls who could continue to return for every tournament.

She did, however, reappear in the Ms. /co/ All-Stars a few years later. She would receive a respectable 6th seed, but this was followed up by a considerable stomp in the first round to 2024 champion (and eventual tournament winner) Frankie. She would proceed to be ranked 8th and last in the winners lineup, somewhat surprising people as it was a spot long expected to belong to Spinel. This bottom ranking was attributable perhaps mostly to the host controversy, as well as lower widespread series popularity and lack of almost any activity or fanfare since her win relative to the other winners.

Worse still, during the All-Stars tournament Wuya was banished to the "Cave of Despair", the hellish domain of a demonic Goku, due to a wager placed on the character who suffered the biggest blowout of round 1. Coupled with an anon's GET subjecting her to torment at the hands of the Hulk, Wuya's run in the All-Stars tournament has been described as a "humiliation ritual".
