0:28 “ I liberate their souls” Gabby face was like excuse me🤨
What
Nice to see Xena defeated for once.
Love seeing Gabrielle protect Xena. So many times she has saved her but this time Xena was really about to die. 😢
Anything with Najara in it made for an AMAZING episode! And Xena being soooooo DONE with her trying to convert Gabby. Lol Xena and Najara fights were so 😍😍
Yes, this was one of the most memorable fights from Xena for me for so many reasons! For one, it plays out like any other fight on Xena until Najara bursts up and starts screaming like a madwoman, even catching Xena off guard and then actually taking Xena down! Blew my little mind back then. For another, Xena waking up and spitting out her tooth all with a "the things I do for love" attitude and basically admitting that her and Najara were fighting for Gabrielle's affection also blew my little mind. I was like, "Oh, so we're not caring anymore, huh? This show's wildin' out!" ....Heh, good times, good times...
I honestly think this was one of those moments where Xena under estimated one of her opponents and paid dearly for it. Usually, Xena is very forward thinking in battle but clearly, like you said, the competition over Gabrielle clouded her judgement. 😳🤔👍😬 #Ouch
@@lenzino7383 Totally!
That ones a cheater
I love the character "Najara" terribly, she is very strong, and she exudes a sincere love, the worry is that she is in the extreme.
The thing I love about this episode is that in a sense, Najara was right about what that darkness would do to Gabrielle. Plus, in a setting where trial by combat is a thing, well.....
Definitely one of the baddest women's in the series. Didn't even talk to much to xena. Straight to business and said let's fight then.
Xena's love for Gabrielle is unyielding. I love that about these 2
One of my favourite episodes. Xena fighting for Gabrielle💕 I think she was getting a bit jealous of that other woman
I LOVE this fight. Moments like this are when the series broke stereotypes to shock the audience with something fresh. Scenes like this and when Xena let Callisto sink in the quicksand are memorable because they go against viewer expectations. It's perfectly normal for a strong warrior to be defeated on occasion but most series refuse to let their protagonist lose a single battle. It's unrealistic which is what made this show so cool--it did things other shows wouldn't.
Your funny I like what you wright
Nepthu I feel like the writers made xena too strong, especially in season 5
THIS THIS THIS. And this is why I enjoyed that scene so much. I was shooked.
It was also the moral ambiguity of najara that was uncanny
Yes surprised as hell to see xena defeated! Never thought this series would allow it.
I see the most played back part is where Xena starts losing. It is refreshing to see Xena lose especially w/o a sword involved.
This fight was a vision Alti give Xena 👀
This show was ahead of its time
4:00 I love how Gabrielle takes a moment to take the staff and in the next scene it disappeared lol
RIP one of the good ‘ol chewing teeth.
This used to be one of my favorite fights scenes, it wasn't often you saw Xena get her ass kicked. Hehe.
hahahahah
twu twu
Foreal I was like daaaaaaaaam!!!!
EXACTLY
Xena won that fight but what’s her face caught her off guard at the end of it.
Xena only loss because she turned her back after she thought she finished her off. But a loss is a loss.
I always loved to watch Xena when it was on .
It’s been airing on SYFY for the last month.
@@jerrs581 And I watch it faithfully EVERY Thursday!
Me too.
@@jerrs581 And it's still is on the SYFY app.
One of their more sanctimonious enemies, for sure.
I did enjoy Najara though.
Good fighter, but Coo-Coo for Coa-Coa Puffs.
Xena never turn your back on your opponent
We all know Xena one. Najara caught her off guard
Even the best fighters lose sometimes. It's not realistic to make someone invincible. Losing a battle made Xena more realistic, human and relatable. I loved it.
Nepthu but is the true! Najara only wins for caught xena with the off guard and that stick
Not really?
@@peterswift5703 not really, xena catches enemies off guard all the time and we still consider her winning. look at how xena kills elanese from Athena's army, she wins by doing a dirty move but she still wins.
Xena lost, it happens.
xena barely even lost she messed up Najara pretty good until Najara snuck up on her
You and I both have different definitions of “snuck”, which is of course based on the word sneak.
In order for Najara to sneak, she would have quietly approached Xena enough to not get her attention. But that didn’t happen - Najara screamed out and charged at Xena.
Can you understand my confusion now as to why I’m unable to agree with you that she snuck up on Xena?
I love how XWP uses an ancient setting to tell stories about our present. A critique to how we sometimes judge too quickly and harshly based on our own morality, how we label someone as evil without even trying to understand why they act a certain way. Something specially relevant these days with social media.
A 10/10 analysis of the connection of the series to the present day.
There's nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again
Why hasn't there a xena movie yet?
Next fight I get into I'm just going to start doing random flips to if it helps me like it helps them LoL 😂😂😂
Go for it like a prequel Jedi!
Najara has a beautiful smile.
Converting to the Light are you?!
Not all that often you see Xena on the floor/ground with bruises and blood.
I still think xena allowed that so Gabrielle could see for herself how far gone that woman was.
Na I think Xena just got her has kicked.
I don't agree with that.
I agree with you @SDGirl05. Xena has gone up against an entire army on her own during the time Gabrielle was near death from a poisoned dart and she pretty much pulverized every armed soldier in that battle. Yes, Najara was a skilled fighter, shown to match her abilities to that of Xena’s but there is no way she defeated Xena on her own merit. In the end, Xena came out the triumphant winner anyway, taking Najara down by using what was closest to Najara’s heart: Gabrielle (all with Gabrielle’s willingness of course).
Nah, Najara just caught her off guard.
@@ShawnG-kv2xm this part
All of Xena's fight scenes were so badass, but it's so rare to see Xena laying on the ground/floor with blood and bruises and not her opponent
It would be good if more people watched Xena reaction videos by Chosen One Reactions on TH-cam. She’s just finished season three and she really loved it.
Najara tanked up Xena’s all attacks.
Najara clearly has a thing for Gabrielle (and wants her to be hers) but unfortunately for her Gabrielle will follow Xena to the ends of the world and beyond (not to mention they are soulmates) so Najara never stood a chance to fully convert Gabrielle to her side! She's basically a Christian version of Xena!
One of the rarest times for Xena got beat up
Najara is a wacko. She was ready to smite a defenseless Gabrielle at the start of this episode (of course she wouldn't have been able to do that because of Xena) until "the Djinn" talked to her. She charmed her way out of that during the episode and I was convinced. But every time I watch the opening fight I ask myself, "How did I miss this alarming sign?"
It was really interesting to witness Xena's loss to Najara. This event proved that anyone's unable to win every time. I must admit that their battling styles are pretty alike, yet Xena truly knows what she wants or does-she's a true warrior, while Najara is more of a vigilante(she likes killing too much). That's why she wouldn't have hesitated even for a second to kill a person(in this video, her victim could have been Xena). Najara is a fanatic, but not a crazy renegade. She has the amazing intellectual ability to persuade and fool people(the way she talked and behaved as something like "The mother of peace" after she took the village or when she was smelling the flowers or when she offered both Xena and Gabrielle to join her in swan watching) as well as the talent to hide her unthinkable actions(few people knew about the massacres she and her army had caused)-she was even able to outsmart Xena and make the Warrior Princess trust her. After she revealed her true identity, she lost complete control and as a result, she was ultimately defeated. Just like Xena, I too believe Najara has faith in what she claims or says about meeting Eli, but she's still a dangerous villain, someone who broke out of prison to get others in trouble. Xena's conversion was sincere, while Najara's wasn't.
PS: what training did they do and became such awesome battlers? Even Ares had trouble beating Xena...
In the episode they let very clear why Xena lost to Najara. The possibility that Gabrielle going away with someone else make her unstable. Najada used this all the time against her.
It was obvious that Najara would regret that she didn't kill Xena because Xena will never give up following Gabriel and defeating Najara to death because she's undefeatable not Najara 😊
You should upload the scene where Xena kicks her ass up the vines. That bit was hilarious!
Lol that was absurd. But the all time champion is still her jump to Cecrops' ship.
Loved that scene!
Najara was the Slayer of her age, hence her abilities. Or Ares had more than one daughter.
Girl, she came out of nowhere with that sneak attack at the end, swinging the dang stick in every single direction known to man, tf
But sneak attacks are usually sneaky. And sneaky means quiet. Najara got back up raging loudly.
It wasn’t a sneak attack. It was an attack.
@@Puggalug Definitely
I am surprised I was hoping she would've been in another few more shows at lest for the rest of the session
I agree. Najara was an excellent character and the writers didn't do her justice in the follow-up. What made her great was her moral ambiguity. At times we all ask ourselves if courts are really fair and who determines what justice actually means.
The writers did the character dirty. I wanted to see najara play more episodes to.
Najara was also in "The Convert". I hope they upload that fight scene. I loved when Xena kept kicking her repeatedly up on those vines. Haha.
I kind of agreed with Najara on a few levels.
First point is that in the times they represent warlords are relentless and cruel and we never actually see the court system that Xena is trying to uphold
so it kind of seems like all of the injustice is just getting away.
Second they gave this episode the perfect ending by Najara telling Gabrielle she forgave her because again I could relate to Najara's choice of justice
so it kind of seemed ambiguous, like who was right and who was wrong in this scenario?
They ruined Najara's character by making her seem crazy. She could see Xena's vision. The Light seemed real.
For whatever reason the writers decided to just mark her off as schizo despite having clairvoyant abilities which seemed self-defeating.
I really miss this show good fights
0:10 Good eye from Xena there! To help others turn to The Light, you don't want to threaten to kill. You do no good by doing such a thing!
3:30 Najara went super saiyen on xena.
I miss tv shows like this .Just awesome entertainment 👌 👏
One of the best fights and best episodes
I like her but she is crazyy
I remember this chick was obsessed with Gabrielle! Come into the light!!! Lol 😂
by the light!
The Djinn wants us to take a bath together, Gabrielle.
Pre Goddess Callisto Vs Najara would of Been a good fight
We all know if Xena threw that Chakram of hers at Najara she wouldn’t have stood a chance!
I can't believe that wacko beat the crap out of Xena.
Not really!
There's always that one Lawful Good character that goes too far...
it interests me particularly really interesting yes it is the word we can say that she has no mercy Najara and this is where it is to declare schizophrenia no I do not think that it is a stroke of the God she is mad and she will stay mad
No mortal should be able to defeat Xena. She literally can defeat gods.
I love this scene, particularly because Najara beat Xena with zero tricks and by brute force alone. Makes me wish they pitted Najara up against Callisto; would have loved to watch their dialogue
Najara only won that fight because of a sneak attack at the end. So I wouldn’t say zero tricks.
rainbowrabbit I don’t think Najara coming out with a raging scream qualifies as a sneak attack; there was nothing sneaky about it and Najara didn’t feign defeat. She simply wasn’t defeated and forced Xena to resort to using her weakness of Gabrielle against her.
@@Puggalug Xena underestimated her. Had Xena known she was that tough, Xena would've fixed her business the first time properly. But Najara can hold her own but not in pressure situations.
@@rainbowrabbit
I said the same thing.
Still not a sneak attack. Sneak attacks require sneakiness and deceit; Najara was neither, as she came out undefeated with a raging scream.
Najara più forte di Callisto. Personaggio bellissimo che avrei voluto vedere più di un paio di volte.
Xena spettacolare! 😍
Você está bêbada? Najara atacou Xena pelas costas depois de ser derrotada por ela. E na última luta deste episódio, Najara lutou muito mal.
E ninguém supera Callisto em habilidades de luta. A própria Lucy Lawless afirmou em entrevista que Callisto era a única capaz de derrotar definitivamente Xena.
Najara got very lucky here. Then again, so did Xena, oi.
The original Lord of the light before GoT
Epic!!
Xena almost never lost a fight but this time she realy lost almost here life 😞
How humiliating for Xena to lose. Najara should strip her and make her a plaything.
Oh, back to the barn with you!
Cool twist on a Joan of Arc style character
Very nice of Gabriel to have adjust Xenas dress. After that blow to the head, she ended up with a humiliating upskirt.
Xenites forever
Besos para todos xena guapa mucho cariño 🧡 veso que fuerte
Why do I agree with najara😁
Xena got beat like a Government Mule ...
Najara won by cheating! That’s no fair fight
The thing about that is, Najara didn’t cheat. She didn’t use magic, poison, deception, or anything that would have suggested this wasn’t a fair fight. It wasn’t even a sneak attack by Najara because in order for it to be sneaky, Najara had to have quietly got up and backstabbed Xena. But no - Najara got up in a screaming rage because she wasn’t defeated , so it wasn’t a sneak attack.
As I said before , what I like about this fight is that Najara won through brute force and zero tricks.
Najara may have kicked Xena’s ass this one time but Najara is still no match for Callisto
Totally.
Callisto > all the rest
Huh? Even god-Callisto kept losing against Xena.
Much better from Callisto
@@mariosimmortal5726 who are u taking about
If you watch this fight and compare it to a Callisto. Najara> Callisto. Like Callisto never did this to Xena. This was rare.
Gabrielle is so pathetic. She only stopped her after she whipped Xena and when she meets her again, she falls for her crap all over again because Eli. She knew she's not Eli. Eli would be ashamed Gabrielle and Najara.
She couldn't stop them before.
Oooo I like a good fight 😁
So Najara was basically an ancient and female version of the Punisher. Interesting.
Ha! I notice your another big Xena fan, so I wanted to share my thoughts. Moments like this are when the series broke stereotypes to shock the audience with something fresh. Scenes like this and when Xena let Callisto sink in the quicksand are memorable because they go against viewer expectations. It's perfectly normal for a strong warrior to be defeated on occasion but most series refuse to let their protagonist lose a single battle. It's unrealistic which is what made this show so cool--it did things other shows wouldn't
@@Nepthu Yeah I'm right with you. Even Hercules has lost some fights sometimes so why not Xena? But what does that have to do with my comment?
They should have let najara play more episodes.
@@Bardim18 I just wanted to converse with you because I sense another huge Xena fan.
@@lovelylady5135 I agree. They brought Najara back once, and that episode cheapened the character. She went from morally ambiguous to crazy. Her depiction here is much more layered and interesting.
I remember the vision scene Alti showed Xena when fighting her in a spiritual dual in the sin trade pt 2 episode 2 season 4 i was intrigued with it ever since
Doesn't Najara have some cold case's to go solve?Geesh
DAMN! That's where I recognized her from, lol.
She leaves cold cases here.
lmfao! Loved that show btw!
Najara only wins the battle for hitting xena with that stick 🙄
Sticks are so powerful.
A good episode but it was hilarious how this show constantly brought up how wrong it was to execute anyone without a trial. Yet Xena killed baddies all the time.
During fights, not executing them after they were beaten.
A flip is obviously the best way to get from a to b
The Cold Case lady once beat up Xena lmao
Me too. I had a few seasons on vhs
Nothing like a Black hair and blue eye Amazon warrior......,wow that's pretty hot
Callisto can totally defeat najara in a fight
She can't even beat Xena, even as a goddess.
xxlCortez What?? Callisto was the best! Najara is so weak, horrible fighter! Watch the next fight or The Convert! Huahuahua!
@@lucasgonzalez7276 Callisto the best? She lost every fight even as a god and only kept returning because she was helped by other gods.
Xena needed to use Gabrielle as a distraction to win the second fight and Najara was beaten half dead at the beginning of the Convert.
@@xxlCortez ''was beaten half dead'' , hahahaha, dude, Callisto and Najara theres no comparison.
Najara is weak. Deal with it.
@@lucasgonzalez7276 I'm not wasting more time a lowly troll.
3:36 Xena have to use the chackran instead that chair
My Teenage crush
Excuse me but how the hell did Xena lose to this amateur?! Najara isn’t even half as good as Calisto and she still won 🙄
Because Callisto was out. They needed a good and ~interesting~ villain. Well, doesnt worked.
Don't underestimate Najara. Just because we only got what? Two episodes of her doesn't mean she's and amateur. The 3 fights she had against Xena she did very well.
Callisto would get a few good hits in but she'd look upon the light lmao
@@bambibelle84 “very well”?? Watch the last fight! 😂
And watch The Convert last fight too! 😂
That heffer was crazy 🤣
In a fight without Gabriel or anyone else around, I still think Xena would win. Najara is near-equal to Xenas fight ability, but Xena has got attitude, experience and the eye of the tiger when she fights. Najara's fanaticism makes her mad and dangerous, but that also makes it easier to get her wound up and loose her concentration. I'm not saying it would be breeze for Xena, as Xena would actually have to go all-out and be 100% focused. Cause if Najara gets the drop on you, its game over, we saw in this scene.
Keep in mind that Xena is not undefeated. He lost to Hercules, Lao Ma and Cyrene (at the first meeting). Palameon could kill her too.
@@bextiyarmemmedli5318 true, but most of the opponents she fought when she was evil. And while she was evil, she wasn't at her best combat wise. She'd fight wildly and undisciplined, but when she fights for good she's a bit more disciplined, focused and motivated (a bit wild, but not lik a loose Cannon). It's how she's defeated stronger or equally skilled oppoents, while as the Warrior Princess, like Alti, Calisto, Ares, most of the Olympian gods, the Destroyer, Athena, Methasapholes, Lucifer, Livia (when she was evil) etc etc. No she's not undefeated, but I'd take Xena the Warrior Princess over Xena the Destroyer of Nations anyday. As the Destroyer of Nations, better fighters who are disciplined or skilled like Hercules, Lau Ma, Cyane could turn her aggression on her and thus she'd never win. As Lau Ma would probably say, to conquer others is to have power, to conquer yourself is to know the way. While she was bad, she had yet to conquer herself.
I liked it
;0
Wa wow
I wondering if Callisto can defeat her in this moment if she was fighting with najara
Honestly, I don't think that Callisto could have taken Najara. At least not as a mortal. She has never been able to beat Xena up as badly as Najara did in this episode.
D. P. Robertz ok but if callisto was a god she can defeat najara
Of course, Callisto's awesome! Najara's just a cheater.
The next fight, in the cave (and ''The Convert'' too) she's fought pretty bad!
In Sacrifice (1&2) Xena fought pretty bad against Callisto ... and she isn't even used her fireballs.
@@BeeSpearsChannel She didn't cheat, Xena was careless. And it was explained that the worry for Gabrielle tipped the scales.
In Convert she barely healed up from beaten half dead.
@@xxlCortez She didnt cheat? 3:24 Cmon... She waited, she was so coward.
Honey, learn this: Xena > Callisto > all
I hope will add on marvel or dc character.
Excellent😍I lost one of mine good chewing teeth
Imagine Xena and Najara are men instead of women and the scene becomes more familiar.
3:18 The figth ends here. Xena wins.
Najara was so coward. That’s the true.
Xena got beaten a lot
3:15-3:27
Iconic
Y'all answer me something, Xena is a real Badass. But is it safe to say that Xena is Superhuman or Just Peak Human Condition like Heroes from the comics?
Plot powers.
I'd call her peak human - like Captain America. Did you see that episode One Against The Army? That shows the awesomeness of Xena.
@@torridd Yeah Bruce Wayne is Peak Human, Cap is Enhanced people say there's a big difference.
Najara wasnt insane the gen aka the voices was driving her in insane
That's a possibility too I guess.
Lucy lawless a Tomboy
Why Xena don’t use her chakram to fight najara?
Seems like she's not giving her 100%. 95% focus makes 50% result
I forgot how shaky the cameras were in 1970
I need to make an edit of Xena
