This article looks like it needs to be 20% cooler with at least an image. It would be lame otherwise.

He also wears green khaki pants and red shoes. From the second season until the end of the series, consisting of an orange and green long-sleeved shirt, tan khaki pants, and black shoes.
Xiaolin Chronicles[]
Raimundo has changed significantly compared to his appearance in Xiaolin Showdown. Although his height has increased, he is still the second tallest monk after Clay Bailey and appears to be the same height as Jack Spicer. His face is less round, with a pointed chin, and his complexion appears more tan. Although he still maintains a toned and muscular physique, he mentions in "Rocco" that he "cut his abs."
When moving outside the temple, Raimundo wears a green jacket with yellow stripes on his arms and a blue T-shirt underneath. He also wears tan cargo pants and blue shoes.
Personality[]
Raimundo is generally portrayed as a laid-back and witty character who can sometimes get into pranks. He is known for being lazy. Avoid his chores by using Shen Gong Wu as seen in "The Shard of Lightning" or by having others like Ping Pong or Vlad do the household chores instead. After all, he says it out of good intentions, but his teasing of other monks can sound spiteful. Usually, Omi and Clay are his main targets, and in "Big as Texas" Raimund admits that's part of why he misses Clay back home.
He doesn't like losing. In "Shen Yi Bu" he spends the rest of the day brooding over the loss of his Storm Sword to Tubbimura, and in "Oil in the Family" Jack Spicer's frustration when he escapes in the Rio Reverso expressed. Raimundo sometimes acts before planning ahead, which can lead to more trouble than necessary. Because of this, he was initially held back from being promoted to Xiaolin Apprentice by Master Fung. But he has acknowledged his mistakes and learned from them.
Raimundo comes across as laid back and carefree, but he has shown to have a strong sense of judgment and will brace himself when necessary. He is zealous in his duty as a Xiaolin warrior, especially when Hannibal Roy Bean tries to sway him to Heylin's side again in "The Return of Master Monk Guan". He is no stranger to street wits to trick his enemies, and in "Panda Town" he used the fake Shen Gong Wu to trick Panda Baba's minions into rescuing the other monks. Raimundo is also willing to take extreme measures to save the world.
Raimundo is shown to have several hobbies throughout the series. He was an experienced surfer who always kept a surfboard in his room and dreamed of winning the "Shen Yi Bu" surfing contest. One of his favorite sports is football, which he often plays in the temple grounds, and he is also interested in videos of his games. He is the second most technologically savvy after Kimiko, and has enough knowledge to create computer viruses. He loves music, especially "Royal Rumble" rap and hip-hop, and also owns a boombox.
