Qi, the āspiritual energyā or ābreath of life and spiritualā, is known to be universally present and in the state of continuous flux, The concept of Qi and Yin-Yang is more close to grayness or neutral, as it deals with the idea of co-existence and balance.Ā
Metal is represented by white and round shapes. It is connected to determination, force, strength, unyielding, self-reliant, reservation and sophistication. It is also associated with he respiratory system. The element also āgovernsā the Chinese Zodiac sings Monkey, Rooster and Dog. (x)
A person characterized by the metal is ambitious, full of strength, has the mania of the inspection, is confident in itself, tends to solve problems for themselves without seeking help, it is materialistic, organized, stable, business-oriented.
The individual in harmony with the Metal element is very precise, orderly, has a good pace of work, is not involved, is seconded by the rest of the world. In addition, he/she appreciates material things and luxury goods. This person is transporting energy. Who comes into contact with these kind of people can see their lives transformed.
The color is white because in the East during a funeral (as sad and painful) people dress in white.Ā (x)
Metal also has a connection to air, and this is because of its association to respiratory system such as lungs. (x)
and qi, which means ābreathā or āvital energiesā strongly connects to the metal elementās connection to breathing. (x)
Jack is not draped in white, his skin is is very pale to the point where under strong light he seems to have white skin. His strength lies in his brain, not in his physical body. Heās very average when it comes to physical abilities, and when heās faced against elemental xiaolin warriors, it is natural for his survival instinct to kick in (even if heās not very graceful about it).Ā
The fact that heās goth also connects to the notion of death the color white carries in the eastern culture.
The strength is all very relative, and from what Iāve seen in season1 and 2, he is not weak. His will is weak, but as Iāve mentioned, my theory is that he is the twisted version of what he could have been. He was very motivated and strong willed at first, but he wilts away as other characters go through growth and he doesnāt. We have not seen Jackās -or anyoneās- full potential yet. Thus we cannot say for sure if one character one thing and not the other.Ā
Jack is very determined and self-reliant. He has come to where he is now practically on his own. He did not have any pillar to support himself. He may lack force, but the element metal itself is associated with the motion from the outside to the inside. The elementās energy is associated with decline/decrease. This explains that metal is more about the inward flow of the energy, rather than the external.The intrinsic properties of the metal are known as: communication, transmission, exchange. (x)
Jack is very much chaotic neutral and his character strongly connects with the metal elementās properties. So yes, Iād say Jack has the potential to become the dragon of metal if such position ever became available.
