Adventurer Archaeologist Jackie Chan considers himself a normal, boring guy who lives with his Uncle at an antique shop in San Francisco and is frequently sent on expeditions for the local university. This changes in the first episode where Jackie retrieved a magic talisman that holds unique and special powers. After being attacked by minions of The Dark Hand criminal organization, Jackie is contacted by a government organization called "Section 13," led by his old friend Captain Black. Section 13 is an extension of INTERPOL dedicated to dealing with hyper-criminal elements that the normal authorities are no match for.Section 13 ends up backing Jackie and the quirky "Uncle" for their knowledge on ancient artifacts and magic. They are trying to stay one step ahead of the Dark Hand, who are looking to take Jackie's talisman and unite it with others to complete a set that will awaken an ancient demon dragon named Shendu from centuries of imprisonment within a statue (Shendu promised them the lost treasure of Qin Shi Huangdi).Add Jackie's niece (technically his first cousin-once-removed), Jade, newly arrived from Hong Kong, to join him in his adventures. She will stick her nose in anything and everything, and neither Jackie nor Uncle can stop her.As the series progressed, eventually it fell into a routine each season with a Big Bad searching for a set of magical artifacts. They are, of course, scattered across the world. There were, however, standalone episodes scattered about. Typically Shendu or forces related to Shendu ends up as the primary Myth Arc. They do find additional allies in the luchador El Toro and the cat burglar Viper. The typical episode involves the characters trying to locate the magical artifact and figuring out either its unique power or how to neutralize it to prevent harm.Executive produced by Jackie Chan and created by John Rogers, Jackie Chan Adventures is debatably Chan's most successful American effort. It ran for five seasons and was chock full of creative set pieces and physical comedy, just like a live-action Jackie Chan film. The animated Jackie, however, was voiced by James Sie. The real Jackie did make appearances, in live-action footage intercut during the title sequence and featurettes where he answered fan questions during the end credits. | |

Resist the Beast: Xu Lin, the cursed guardian of "The Lotus Temple," does this several times, as she is cursed to turn into a monstrous beast whenever someone intrudes in the temple, but she doesn't want to hurt anyone. The heroes manage to find the loophole, and at one point she manages to resist the transformation enough to guide herself into going after the Big Bad. | |

This Is My Boomstick: In Danger in the Deep Freeze, black marketeer Peter Bailey fools a tribe of Inuits into believing he's a great shaman with this trick, claiming his cellphone is a "magical black box" that lets him communicate with other shamans across the world. Jackie proves him a fraud by demonstrating his own cellphone and how it works, causing the Inuits to get very mad at Bailey. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: Many of the magic-using villains have shades of this but none more than Daolon Wong, whose stated aim in life is to spread as much evil as he can so the forces of darkness can rule all (too bad for him the actual forces of darkness are much more selfish than he is and don't care about that). | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_15385326 | comment |
You Can't Thwart Stage One: The heroes are never able to stop that season's Arc Villain from accomplishing their main goal, and generally have to band together and come up with a new plan to fight them at their new, full strength. Used most constantly in the second season, where despite our heroes' stated goal of stopping Shendu from freeing his brethren, they never succeed (only ever delaying him) and always have to find a way to banish the demon again after they escape from their prison, since if they did stop we wouldn't get to see that episode's demon. | |

Mook Carryover: The Enforcers (Finn, Ratso and Chow) who were always brought in by the current season's big bad. Also Valmont (when possessed by Shendu), the Shadow Khan, and finally Strikemaster Ice, DJ Fist and MC Cobra. Drago averts this trope temporarily by firing the Enforcers after one episode. | |

Where It All Began | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_15756c9d | comment |
Where It All Began: Or rather when. In the Season 4 episode, Deja Vu, Jackie is flung into his past until he can find the Deja Vu Stone. The first place he ends up is the Windmill where he found the Dog Talisman. After going through many different moments (episodes), he ends up finding it in the same place as the Pig Talisman, which was in the same episode as the Dog Talisman where Jackie's misadventure started. | |

Simple Solution Won't Work | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_16dda55f | comment |
Simple Solution Won't Work: A repeated statement by Uncle is that "Magic Must Defeat Magic!" and, sure enough, whenever a magic-empowered enemy appears (which is like 99.9% of the major enemies) they are completely immune to everything but magical attacks (or martial arts, or magically-empowered martial arts) and by the middle part of the series Captain Black and his subordinates don't even bother to do more than tell Team Chan where to go and arrest any defeated human goons the chaos leaves behind. It also turns out that magic as powerful as the Chinese Zodiac-based one within the Talismans cannot be destroyed, just transferred from one recipient to another, which means that Jackie's attempt to get rid of them in the third season just leads to another worldwide scavenger hunt, only this time for magically-empowered animals instead of talismans. | |

Your Head Asplode: Referenced in Project A, For Astral when Jade decides to try and activate the Sheep Talisman's magic and comments that she hopes "it isn't the exploding head talisman." In "Shrink Rap" it's basically stated this would happen to Tohru if Jackie and Hak Foo were still in his head when the shrinking magic wore off. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: This has temporarily happened to every main character except Viper at least once, some more than once, generally due to some kind of Demonic Possession or dark chi curse. In addition, Tarakudo and the Oni do this naturally - any hero who puts on one of the masks (or wears their symbol) will become this eventually. Jackie was possessed by Shendu in "Demon World (Part 1)". Jade was possessed by Shendu in "Project A For Astral", and wore the Tarakudo tattoo in "Queen of the Shadowkhan". Uncle was turned into a Jianghsi's vampiric slave in "Chi of the Vampire". Tohru lost his memory and reverted into Valmont's Enforcer in "Tohru Who?", and also got the Tarakudo tattoo in "Ninja Twilight". El Toro was turned into a Chupacabra in "The Curse of El Chupacabra". Oni Masks have been worn by Captain Black in "Black Magic", Paco in "Fright Fight Night", and even Scruffy the dog in "The Amazing T-Troop". | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Tohru gets this occasionally - it's always a sign that someone is particularly strong when they can toss him around like a ragdoll. Shendu does this to him twice, first when he initially regains his demon form, and again to show that he's powerful even while possessing Valmont. Though this can be justified in that Tohru is facing against magical threats as opposed to normal humans. | |

Frothy Mugs of Water: Showdown in the Old West features Jackie's Identical Grandfather (a sheriff in the Old West) going down to the local saloon for "a nice cold glass of ginger ale". This is Justified Trope: Ginger ale in the 19th Century wasn't the light and sparkly drink we know today. It was strong and was used as a tonic for various illnesses due to ginger's many "medicinal" properties (some of which have even been confirmed by modern science). | |

Forgotten Phlebotinum | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_1b89151e | comment |
Forgotten Phlebotinum: The Book of Ages, introduced at the end of the second season. An all-powerful book that naturally records the events of history in real-time, it also has the ability to manipulate history if written in. Used by Shendu to take over the world and later by the J Team to defeat him, this ridiculously useful artifact is completely abandoned, and never even mentioned again post the season two finale. While it could be argued that this was done because the good guys saw it as being too dangerous to use haphazardly, the more likely reason is that the writers realized that by having the characters remember this weapon, then all subsequent threats could be rendered null and void in a manner of minutes. | |

Drago himself was sort-of this in his debut episode to Shendu, insofar as he is working to free his father Shendu, who is even more of a literal dragon (Drago is more like a dragon-man). Shendu himself was forced into this role in Season 2 by his demon brethren, serving as The Heavy trying to free them. | |

Living Forever Is Awesome: Uncle reads from a scroll explaining why the Immortality Talisman is the Dog Talisman; dogs are man's best friend. Not only does the user gain eternal life, but all the strength and stamina of youth. When Uncle used it, he retained all his skill but regained his vigor. He could even eat cheese again because it wouldn't gum up his..."none of your business." | |

The Rival | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Hak Foo can fill in this role at times for both Jackie and Tohru, as he is skilled enough (and just flat out crazy enough) to challenge Jackie's martial arts and he is physically powerful enough to also challenge Tohru's strength. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Tohru, towards Jade. (speaking to Valmont) "If any harm comes to her, I will turn you inside out." Any male protagonist would qualify even Finn, Ratso, and Chow during their short-lived Heel–Face Turn as Jade wanted to fight the Ice Crew only for Ratso and Chow to restrain and remind her that Jackie wouldn't allow such behavior. And there's Hak Foo in the Grand Finale, as Uncle and Tohru cast a spell to send Shendu and Drago to the Netherworld, Jackie grabs Jade to prevent her from being sucked in and hands her over to Hak Foo who holds on to her until the spell is cast. | |

Jade took the imprint of a figure on Shendu's magic tome as a temporary tattoo, which gave her control of the Shadowkhan and drove her power-mad. Later Daolon Wong took control of the Shadowkhan seemingly by using the same symbol. In the fourth season, it is revealed that the symbol is of Tarakudo, King of the Shadowkhan, and the Big Bad for that season. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: The talismans are used repeatedly even after their story arc concludes. Considering their powers and lack of adverse effects, they are very useful as a last resort. They are also justifiably locked up otherwise since them getting stolen would be bad. Jade took the imprint of a figure on Shendu's magic tome as a temporary tattoo, which gave her control of the Shadowkhan and drove her power-mad. Later Daolon Wong took control of the Shadowkhan seemingly by using the same symbol.

Personality Swap: An encounter with a chi vampire forces drains Uncle's chi into Jade. Importantly, it only switches their personalities. Although Jade gets Uncle's inquisitive nature and focus, she doesn't acquire his knowledge, so she still has to research how to solve the problem on her own. After getting Jade's chi Tohru is still a hulking powerhouse but now is a lot more talkative and using teenage slang. | |

Generation Xerox | |

Generation Xerox: Jackie was sent to live with Uncle years before Jade was sent to live with him. Played with in the Old West episode, where Jade assumes that the sheriff's niece was her counterpart, only for Jackie to mention she's described differently. Jade dismisses it as a typo, and a dust cloud hides her replacement with Past! Jade. From "Through the Rabbit Hole" we see that young Jackie's mannerisms are similar to Jade. He even goes against Jade's wishes to Wait Here when the Dark Hand kidnaps Uncle, meaning that Jackie Chan was the first to "pull a Jade" on Jade herself, years before she was ever born. | |

Set Bonus: Season 1 has the Dark Hand looking for 12 magical talismans in order to release Shendu from imprisonment. Each talisman has its own power, and several of them work well together: Jade is fond of pointing out the Rooster's Levitation and the Rabbit's Super-Speed combine to create flight. The Horse's Healing and the Dog's Immortality might seem redundant at first, but having only the latter doesn't stop you from feeling pain. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: Every season except for the fourth had at least one episode where the bad guys win. Played with in that the heroes getting all the Oni masks worked in Tarakudo's favor anyway. In Season 1, The Dark Hand gains the Sheep and Dragon talismans and the penultimate episode ends with The Dark Hand having all 12 talismans with Shendu being revived. In Season 2, Bai Tza isn't sent back to the demon netherworld until the episode after she's released. In Season 3, Daolong Wong gains the powers of Levitation and Heat Beam Eyes in the same episode. In Season 5, Drago obtains the Thunder Demon Chi without having Uncle use the Chi-O-Matic to take it away until the next episode. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_308a5ff0 | comment |
Strange Minds Think Alike: In "The Amazing T-Girl", when the power of the talismans was stripped from them, Captain Black, not knowing this, tried to show off the Snake Talisman to his superiors and sneaks around them not realizing he is visible. Later, when Daolong Wong takes the still powerless Snake Talisman and does almost exactly what Black did to his own minions. When the Tiger Talisman is introduced, Jade mistakes "the power of balance" to mean inability to lose one's physical balance. Hak Foo makes the same mistake when he's in the possession of the Talisman in "The J-Team". | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: In an early Season 1 episode Tohru, while doing nothing to stop Carl Nevore from eating the turtle, is clearly disgusted by Carl Nevore's plans. For all their capacity for evil, even the Demon Sorcerors admit they fear the power of the Book of Ages and dare not mess with it since it could easily destroy reality. The only reason they allow Shendu to alter it is out of clear desperation. In "Shanghai Moon" the Dark Hand are aghast at the fact that Tso Lan intends to DESTROY THE EARTH. More specifically pull the moon out of Earth’s orbit and warp its climate. The Demon Sorcerors they’ve released up to this point intended some horrific stuff, but nothing on a planet-wide apocalyptic scale. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil: The scope of events grows, but each new Big Bad isn't necessarily more powerful, just brings with them their own style of problems. Justified Trope: The killing of Shendu opened the way for even greater evil. This flows in an entirely logical manner until he is sealed again: his death allows him to act as a means for his siblings to be released back into the world, the talismans being destroyed causes their powers to be scattered to the winds and drives Daolon Wong to try and locate them. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_32da548d | comment |
Daolon Wong was the villain of the week in three season two episodes, during which time he was established as Uncle's Arch-Enemy and was shown to have a desire for the talismans. It was doubtful that anyone was surprised when he became Big Bad of season three. | |

Animalistic Abilities | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_34e1f2e5 | comment |
Animalistic Abilities: The talismans of Shendu are a set of 12 talismans based on the Eastern Zodiac. Each talisman grants a power based on the animal it represents, i.e. the ox grants strength, the rabbit grants speed, the rooster grants levitation. In "The Amazing T-Girl'', Jade absorbs the powers of all 12 talismans. | |

The rest of Section 13 not believing Captain Black about magic being real is usually played for laughs, but in "The Chan Who Knew Too Much", it prevents him from helping with the magical threat of the episode because, as he explains to Jackie, since everyone thinks he's cracked, he's in serious danger of losing his job. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Jackie Chan absorbing the beast-like Earth Demon chi in Season 5 may be seen as a reference to the real Chan being the Chinese voice of another, friendlier beast from 1991, who was voiced by Robby Benson in America. In addition, Chan was also the Chinese singing voice of the Beast, and was the Chinese counterpart to Peabo Bryson in singing the title theme. Captain Black is voiced by Clancy Brown, who also played Lex Luthor in the DC Animated Universe cartoons. Black and Luthor are both bald badasses with similar baritone voices; though obviously they're moral opposites, with Black being good and Luthor being evil. In the Japanese dub the Monkey King is voiced by Ryūsei Nakao. Best known for voicing the Archenemy of another Monkey King. | |

Character Development: Tohru clearly exhibits this throughout the seasons. When we first meet him, he is The Brute under Valmont and has it out to eliminate Jackie and his family whenever they meet, not to mention he is willing to cut open the stomach of his future best friend. Then, following his Heel–Face Turn he becomes the apprentice for Uncle, the Big Guy, and loyal friend to Jackie and a best friend to Jade. And through the following seasons, he slowly becomes more powerful in his knowledge of chi magic before becoming a full-fledged Chi Wizard in the Grand Finale. | |

Bad Boss | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: All of the big bads treat The Dark Hand rather poorly. Shendu breathed fire on Tohru who was covered in oil. Good thing he dodged. In turn Shendu suffers this from his siblings for escaping the demon netherworld and spent his time ruling Asia rather than release them. Daolong Wong is a major one considering he transformed Finn, Ratso, and Chow into his new Dark Chi Warriors against their will and punishes them either verbally or inflicting them with painful dark magic while addressing them with the names of his old warriors. Like father like son, is the perfect way to describe Drago or as Chow and Finn put it: Not even Tarakudo was immune to this trope despite being the most lenient of the big bads as he trapped Chow and Ratso in Halloween decorations for losing yet another Oni mask to Jackie and stripping Chow of his shadow and having Hak Foo's Shadowkhan eat Chow's shadow putting him in a deep slumber. Non-villainous example: Wesley Rank, a self-proclaimed archaeologist, treats his cameraman, Deino Stephenson, pretty shabbily, and doesn't even know his name. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After becoming the titular villain in "Queen of the Shadowkhan", Jade steals the Demon Archive and tries to read it to unlock its secrets, only to discover she, a girl from modern day Hong Kong, can't understand a single word of ancient Chinese. And when she sends the Shadowkhan to bring Shendu to her, she didn't consider the possibility that he might steal it back from her after gaining her trust. Also, the story arc of the third season involved the talismans being destroyed, and their powers being transferred to the noblest animals across the world. At the end, Jade learns that the plan is not to keep them, but to remove their powers and return them to where they were found. As Jackie notes, several of the animals do have owners (or at the very least, natural habitats). The only animal they did keep was Scruffy the dog, as he was a stray with no known owner to claim him. The rest of Section 13 not believing Captain Black about magic being real is usually played for laughs, but in "The Chan Who Knew Too Much", it prevents him from helping with the magical threat of the episode because, as he explains to Jackie, since everyone thinks he's cracked, he's in serious danger of losing his job. Throughout seasons 1 and 2, The Dark hand devotes much time and money traveling the world to find the talismans and open the demon portals for Shendu. By the begining of season 3, it revealed the constant traveling and repeated failures have left the Dark Hand broke. In "Project A For Astral" Shendu possesses Jade's body in order to gain access to Section 13. When Jackie finds out the truth, Shendu tries to attack Jackie. Since Shendu is in the body of a small child, Jackie is easily able to restrain him. While fighting Shendu in "Day of the Dragon", Jackie manages to take the Ox Talisman from the demon. When Shendu grasps both of his hands, however, Jackie can't pry himself free even with Super-Strength since Shendu is much larger. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: This show follows a plot formula, though it is seasonal rather than just episodic. In all 5 seasons, the heroes must search for several different magical objects or creatures scattered around the world, before the villains get to them first. The heroes usually follow a formula or running gag. Jackie is always getting into wacky fights and chases, usually involving a lot of fistfights, acrobatics, and amusing injuries. Jade is always sneaking into dangerous situations, much to Jackie's chagrin. Uncle helps out by performing research, and using a magic spell to finish things off. The villains are always led by a powerful sorcerer (usually a demon), aided by human henchmen (the Dark Hand Enforcers until Season 5), and occasionally some demonic warriors. The story arc always culminates in a finale, in which the villains, after a long string of failures, suddenly get everything they need, and almost succeed with their plans until finally defeated. | |

Also, one episode where one of the Oni masks got split in half: one half got attached to Jade, the other to Valmont. And the Oni cannot be sealed if the two halves aren't reunited. | |

| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_45157041 | comment |
Even Mooks Have Loved Ones: the Enforcers each have a nephew whom they love and care dearly for and haven't told them the truth about their "import-export business"note criminal activity. At the end of "Dragon Scouts", when the Enforcers "leave for the Far East for a big business deal"note getting arrested and going to Hollowlands, you can faintly see the tears sitting in the corners of their eyes as they wave their nephews goodbye. | |

Imperfect Ritual | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_453b3c67 | comment |
Imperfect Ritual: Tohru whips up a potion to prevent Draco from absorbing demon powers, but the last ingredient must be a piece of Draco himself. Jade substitutes a piece of Draco's father Shendu instead. But we never get to see if it works, because Draco manages to go One-Winged Angel too quickly. | |

Zodiac Motifs | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_4571c045 | comment |
Zodiac Motifs: The 12 talismans that Shendu derives his powers from are based around the 12 animals from the Chinese zodiac: Rat (animating inanimate objects), Ox (Super-Strength), Tiger (spiritual balance), Rabbit (Super-Speed), Dragon (combustion), Snake (Invisibility), Horse (healing), Sheep (Astral Projection), Monkey (Animorphism), Rooster (levitation), Dog (immortality), and the Pig (Eye Beams). | |

Not Quite Starring: Voice actor James Sie as Jackie Chan, with the real Jackie Chan appearing in the title sequence and a live-action segment after each episode. He said in an interview his schedule doesn't allow for the frequent recording sessions, but he has tried to do all the grunts and other things his character does, which is much simpler. | |

Four Is Death | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_471a505f | comment |
Four Is Death: As this trope is common in Asian cultures, it pops up quite a bit: Four Enforcers for the Dark Hand, the Demon Sorcerers minus Po Kong each have four fingers rather than five, the four most dangerous demons (Tso Lan, Dai Gui, Bai Tza, and Shendu) lead the final charge against the J-Team at the end of the Demon World duology, and there are exactly four villainous characters (Shendu, Finn, Ratso and Chow) who are the only villains to play an antagonistic role in all 5 seasons, to name the most significant. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: In the first episode, Jackie gets pissed off at the Enforcers threatening him and Uncle and chases after them to instigate a fight at a playground. Later episodes make him much more of a Martial Pacifist. When Paco first met Jade, he called her a 'charming senorita'. He never flirted with her again after that. The enforcers were a lot more serious at their jobs and are very loyal to Vermont and the Dark hand to the point that Finn has to remind the lower ranked goons on what they had to do. Whenever they lose to Jackie, they get pissed off and double down on their efforts. Eventually, they all become lesser butt monkeys that eventually get exhausted at the work they have to do. | |

No Hugging, No Kissing | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_482c31d4 | comment |
No Hugging, No Kissing: Romance is practically absent from this show's storyline, aside from a few hints dropped every now and then. Jackie is never seen dating any women, though there's implications that he and/or Viper may feel some (grudging) attraction towards each other. Jade is not usually concerned about guys, except for a couple times. She once had a crush on a Hollywood movie star. Jade also started to develop feelings for a boy she befriended at school... who turned out to be a shapeshifting demon trying to manipulate her for some non-romantic evil plans. Uncle is a fairly old man, but he's obviously unmarried, and he never talks about the subject of women. This leaves viewers to speculate about whether he just never had a chance with the ladies, is gay, or just doesn't care about romance. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: Most seasons involved the heroes attempting to reseal escaped ancient villains back in their cans. In the series, this is justified by the fact that destroying evil will only allow a different (and probably stronger) evil to take its place. Better then to keep around the evil threat you already know how to deal with, than risk leaving the way open for something far worse to come up that you may not know how to deal with in time. The most notable example is Shendu, a demonic dragon who had to be turned into a wall-mounted statue multiple times. He also sometimes got banished back to the Netherworld along with his seven siblings, who are also powerful demons. The Grand Finale had Shendu and his son Drago both being sent away to the Netherworld while they were fighting each other. There's also the Oni and Shadowkhan, who are all part of a Sealed Army in a Can. Their leader Tarakudo, an Oni Lord, was somehow reduced to a disembodied head and banished to another dimension, while his nine Oni Generals and their respective Shadowkhan armies were trapped in Oni Masks that, should they all be reunited in one place, will be set free so they can start taking over the world. In the end, every single Oni and Shadowkhan are trapped inside a single mask that was placed on Tarakudo's face. Some minor villains also got the eternal imprisonment treatment: Daolon Wong's demonic henchmen, the Dark Chi Warriors, end up getting trapped inside a magic box (the Urn of Wei Ching) by Uncle. Also Spring-Heeled Jack, who can be turned to stone by pouring salt on him, and released if water is poured on him. The Monkey King, an evil trickster who was turned into a puppet, but will be changed back into flesh-and-blood if another person pulls the puppet's leg (which turns them into a puppet in the Monkey King's place). And there's also a group of evil spirits trapped inside a mirror, who desperately beg for anyone nearby to free them. | |

In that episode, Jackie and Tohru disguise themselves as Shadowkhan ninjas. It's sort of ok for Jackie, but Tohru is much, much bigger than the other ninjas. | |

Badass Teacher | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_498a6a21 | comment |
Badass Teacher: Miss Hartman, Jade's elementary school teacher, gets an episode in the fifth season where she easily qualifies. She kicks things off by tackling Drago to get him away from Jade; sure, she was infused with the chi of the Sky Demon at the time, but she clearly wasn't aware of that until after the fact. She then proceeds to spend the rest of the episode beating down everything hostile in sight protecting Jade with only a few moments getting help from other characters; Demon chi or no, for a middle-aged woman with no known combat experience outside of "dealing with unruly students", that was pretty impressive. | |

| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_4eb711d4 | comment |
Great White Feline: The first season dealt with the 12 Talismans, a set of MacGuffins modeled after the Chinese zodiac, each granting a different power. The Tiger Talisman is modeled after a white tiger and has the power to split beings into their good and evil halves. When the talismans are destroyed in season 3, the energies inhabiting them are transferred into the animals they represent. The Tiger Talisman's power is absorbed by a circus white tiger named Sasha. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Quite a few actually in the first season. The talismans had the same general powers throughout the show, however season one features some differences. The horse was activated by sneezing on it; later on, you only needed to hold it. The dragon talisman merged into the wielder's hand and caused them to glow when using it, it also allowed Valmont to levitate slightly. The tiger talisman split in half when activated in its first episode, but later episodes show it remaining whole even when the user is split. Uncle seemed to have only elementary knowledge of magic during the first season. He was unable to cure Jackie when injected with a potion that would turn him into stone and had to look up his signature spell in a book in order to pull Shendu's astral form out of Jade. Contrast this with post-season 1 where he's established to have been studying magic for years, is a Good Chi Wizard, and is capable of such things as casting a spell through a cellphone. The first episode gives Jackie an uncharacteristic sassy streak. While the audience knew about Shendu throughout season 1, it wasn't until the end of the season did the Chans learn about him and what his end goals were. Starting with Season 2, the Chans know who exactly they're fighting against, why the villains are after whatever the season's Myth Arc is centered around, and the stakes if they fail right from the get-go. | |

Body Horror: Daolon Wong turns the Dark Hand Enforcers into his new Dark Chi Warriors, giving them red hair (except Ratso, who becomes bald), orange skin, black sclerae in their eyes, and pointed ears. They're not very fond of their new appearances. The Oni Masks cause the wearers' faces (and sometimes their whole bodies) to look like that of the Oni demon possessing them. Anyone who absorbs the chi of a Demon Sorcerer will transform, gaining the appearance and abilities of that demon. | |

Pre-Mortem One-Liner / Bond One-Liner: Many of the villains are fond of these, especially Drago (the series as a whole loves the "villain is about to kill heroes, villain makes one-liner, fade to commercial" bit), but luckily they never succeed in killing their enemies after making their quips. Occasionally, they might use a Bond One-Liner when they think they've killed someone. | |

Magic Versus Science: Science has its uses in its own field, but is ultimately incapable of doing anything significant against the magical villains the cast runs into. As Uncle is wont to point out, "MAGIC MUST DEFEAT MAGIC!" | |

Brought Down to Badass: In the fourth season finale, Uncle uses a spell to revert Tarakudo back to his original form, which removes all his powers and has to rely solely on martial arts. Still, he managed to give Jackie, Viper and El Toro a brutal beatdown. | |

| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_51fd1ea5 | comment |
Heist Clash: This is how Jackie and Viper met. In "Enter The Viper", Jackie wanted to steal the snake talisman from the New York Metropolitan Museum in order to protect it from the Dark Hand. Viper broke into the same museum to steal a diamond called the Pink Puma. During their scuffle, the two accidentally swap their respective loot. | |

Even better, the first episode of the fifth season has Jackie along with an extremely gassy Jade fighting the Dark Hand enforcers, this time with fire powers from Drago... in a playground. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Tarakudo is better liked by the human minions than the other Big Bads, as well as one of the more intelligent ones. Some might see him as Faux Affably Evil since he's essentially conducting a Xanatos Gambit where, even if his minions fail to collect any of the masks, once the heroes end up with all nine masks and store them in the same location, the demons are unleashed anyway. However, for all of Tarakudo's capacity for cruelty, his affable demeanor comes across as genuine. He's under no obligation to be a Benevolent Boss to the Dark Hand, yet he actively encourages his men to seek them out. He also takes their failures on the chin, whereas Shendu or Daolon Wong would blow their top off and often torture them. So whilst he is most certainly evil, his geniality isn't necessarily a facade, or at least he doesn't show it. Xiao Fung the Wind Demon also falls into this category, at least more so than the other demons. The Dark Hand Enforcer Trio (Finn, Ratso, and Chow) fit this to a T. Great friends with each other with at least a decent level of amiability towards their adversaries. In the final season, they even come to realize the error of their ways and pull a genuine Heel–Face Turn in the finale. | |

The Dragon | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_53f5119f | comment |
The Dragon: Sumo man Tohru, until he turns good. He doesn't really get weaker, though, he just rarely solves his problems with violence and gains control of his temper. Hak Foo takes over after that. And in the final season, Strikemaster Ice is the Dragon to Drago (ironic in that Drago is literally a dragon). Drago himself was sort-of this in his debut episode to Shendu, insofar as he is working to free his father Shendu, who is even more of a literal dragon (Drago is more like a dragon-man). Shendu himself was forced into this role in Season 2 by his demon brethren, serving as The Heavy trying to free them. | |

One episode highlights it where Jade complaining that she hasn't grown at all since she came to live with Jackie and Uncle. Stranger still, Time Travel episodes show Jade as an adult. | |

Something Only They Would Say: Played with during Attack of the J-Clones. Neither Jackie nor his clone know when Captain Black's birthday is, to his dismay, but Jade figures it out by asking them to take her to Moose World: the real one refuses, since she has homework. Paco's clone gives himself away by pronouncing her name properly. For non-Spanish speakers, "j" is usually pronounced with "y" or "h" sounds - hence, "Yade" from El Toro and the real Paco. | |

So Last Season: Lightly applied, Uncle mentioned that the Talisman powers are helpful (and certainly nice for a surprise) but are simply not the most powerful magic in the series. Season Four had different villains than the other seasons, of Japanese heritage. Therefore, Uncle couldn't use Chinese methods of dealing with them and had to call upon Tohru's knowledge of Japanese culture a lot more. | |

Any male protagonist would qualify even Finn, Ratso, and Chow during their short-lived Heel–Face Turn as Jade wanted to fight the Ice Crew only for Ratso and Chow to restrain and remind her that Jackie wouldn't allow such behavior. And there's Hak Foo in the Grand Finale, as Uncle and Tohru cast a spell to send Shendu and Drago to the Netherworld, Jackie grabs Jade to prevent her from being sucked in and hands her over to Hak Foo who holds on to her until the spell is cast. | |

When Wong is about to get them, Jackie decides it's time to stop people from misusing their powers and destroys them with a laser cannon. Unfortunately, this results in the Talismans' indestructible powers being dispersed over the world and [[settle in the bodies of twelve animals, forcing the heroes to compete with Daolon Wong to find them and protect them from him. | |

Badass Normal: Jackie proves effective against regular people and is even able to fight competently against superhuman demons, often without assistance from the show's power-granting Plot Coupons. Then again, he is Jackie Chan. Captain Black is another example - when split in two by the Tiger Talisman, he was revealed to have no "weak", pacifist, or sickeningly good side. The two halves of Captain Black are Badass and ... Badass. Most of the human cast really, if given a chance will demonstrate the ability to fight and survive without the use of magic powers. | |

Only One Name: Plenty. Valmont, his three main henchmen, Tohru, Paco...the list goes on. It's probably easier to list those who do have more than one name: Jackie, Jade, El Toro, Captain Augustus Black (yes he has a first name, it's only said once). | |

Redemption Promotion | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_672dc4b3 | comment |
Redemption Promotion: Tohru, and was used, subverted, and spoofed in an episode about Finn, Ratso and Chow, who turn out to be just as bad at being good as they are at being bad. Overall averted. Tohru was far from an incompetent bad guy. Part of the reason he is the most dangerous enemy in the first season is because he is smart but usually solves problems in a blunt way. Some people running away from you down the stairs of a 50-story building? Casually stroll to the elevator. Chasing some people through a warehouse? Chuck a box at the door so they can't keep running. Etc. | |

Steal It to Protect It | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_6aec0f8a | comment |
Steal It to Protect It: In "Enter The Viper", Jackie's warnings to the New York Metropolitan Museum that the Dark Hand will steal the snake talisman are ignored. He takes it upon himself to steal the talisman in order to protect it from the villains. Things get complicated when another thief breaks into the museum to steal a valuable diamond, resulting in her and Jackie accidentally swapping their respective loot. | |

Magic A Is Magic A | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Magic A Is Magic A: In interesting contrast to Eastern anime magic-users using Western Hermetic Magic, most of the spells in the Western-made Jackie Chan Adventures are Eastern style. Seems to be a variant of Rule Magic. The talisman's themselves tended to be fairly consistent, with a few inconsistencies. The Healing Factor Horse talisman originally required you to say "achoo" to activate, the dragon talisman initially embedded itself into Valmont's palm to be used and the Enemy Without Tiger Talisman is prone to all sorts of quirky side-effects besides its supposed "spiritual balance" primary power. An aversion is when Jade grew freakishly huge muscles from using the Ox Talisman, when this never happened before or again. | |

Oddly Small Organization | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_6f059863 | comment |
Oddly Small Organization: The Dark Hand, at least by the second half of the first season. It's later justified because the Shendu escapade and demon portal stuff drained their resources. Early on, it was a lot bigger with a few hired guns besides the regular enforcers. Most of the local mooks got scared off by the supernatural goings-on, and by the end of season 2, all of them are gone save for Finn, Ratso and Chow. Still, it's never really explained where their infrastructure went. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Happens to Jackie and Jade the most. Jackie tends to attack problems with an almost reckless lack of planning which tends to come back to bite him in the ass. Jade however tends to plan ahead more and is generally the only character who bothers to grab the talismans or some other useful item before running off to fight the enemy. Still, that doesn't stop her from screwing up a lot. To emphasize the importance of using the Idiot Ball, consider that Jade's actions in the Season 1 finale lead directly to Season 2, Jackie's actions in the Season 3 premiere lead to Season 3 itself, and both Jackie and Future! Jade help to institute Season 5 via keeping Drago after J2. In the same vein, Daloan Wong's actions in the Season 4 premiere lead to Season 4 itself happening. Using the Idiot Ball continues the show. | |

By season 5, everyone was a put on a bus except for Jackie, Jade, Uncle, Tohru, Captain Black, Drago, and the Ice Crew. Finn, Ratso, and Chow only had 2 episodes as antagonists and returned in the last episode reformed. This also happens to Hak Foo who was never seen again until the last episode after the eighth oni mask was found. This also happens to El Toro, Paco, Viper, and Super Moose, they only had a cameo at Jade's birthday party and returned in the last episode to fight Drago. | |

Amusing Injuries: Everyone gets a healthy dose of these, much to their chagrin, except Jade and Uncle. And even then, there are a few moments where they get these as well. Exaggerated with the Dark Chi Enforcers. Their injuries are already played for laughs normally, but when Daolon Wong turned them into immortal warriors they would just poof away after taking mortal injuries, which allowed the writers to ramp up their already pronounced habit of getting into painful situations by putting them through humorous incidents that would normally be fatal. | |

Villain Decay: Poor Valmont. He starts out in season one as a genuine threat and an actual badass, able to take on Jackie one-on-one and win. As the series progressed he became less and less competent and more and more bumbling as terrible and humiliating things keep happening to him. He becomes a punching bag for every character in the series, hero and villain, and endures such a Humiliation Conga that he almost enters woobie territory. Hak Foo goes from Invincble Villian in his debut appearance to a moderately threatening Dumb Muscle | |

Summon Bigger Fish | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_7c48b272 | comment |
Summon Bigger Fish: By the Grand Finale, Drago is so powerful that Uncle is forced to release Shendu. Also, when Daolon realized that he couldn't beat the at the time giant Jade, he summoned a giant ogre to fight her (though the ogre was slightly bigger than Jade). Wonder why he never summoned that ogre at any point prior. | |

Red Sky, Take Warning: In the Villain World Alternate Timeline where the Demon Sorcerers reign, the sky is more often than not a grim, sickly-looking orange palette. In the Season 5 finale, Drago literally creates an overcast, bloodred sky over San Francisco when he's preparing to unleash Hell on Earth. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: First, when Jade's grow-up spell causes her to grow "up" literally. Then, whenever the good guys had to face off with Po Kong, the Mountain Demon. Later, when Tohru was infused with the chi of said demon, causing him to go on a massive eating binge. Lastly, the massive shadow-eating Shadowkhan, who had eaten hundreds of shadows and grown far bigger than its minuscule siblings. | |

Suspect Is Hatless: when Black described Shendu to Uncle, he says that he had "Red eyes, pointy teeth and sharp claws". Uncle says that that description fits plenty of demons. One has to wonder why Captain Black didn't say that Shendu looked like a dragon, seeing how few of them look like a dragon. | |

Politically Correct History | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: Showdown in the Old West is a mild case. Though Jackie's Identical Grandfather is portrayed as a 19th-century Chinese Laborer, the writers apparently felt that acknowledging 19th-century race relations would bring down the mood of a lighthearted Cowboy Episode. Hence, the significance of a Chinese immigrant being appointed sheriff in a Western frontier town is never discussed. Granted, there is a fairly dramatic moment in which Jackie's grandfather starts a fight when he's refused service in a saloon, but it's stated that this is because he's a railroad worker, not because he's Chinese. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Quite a number of times, often by Jade. Jackie has his own moments, such as when his attempt to destroy the talismans at the beginning of the third season only ended up scattering their powers across the world. Several times, most notably during the Demon Portal arc, when the Dark Hand would simply follow Jackie when they were stumped on a Panku Box riddle. | |

Establishing Character Moment: The three main characters of the series all had this in the first episode, The Dark Hand. First, Jackie in the very first scene is shown jumping up and down and using Improvised Weapons to dodge flying arrows in a Bavarian castle. Then, Uncle appears to us first as a sweet and caring old guy before going straight to his trademark Dope Slap while telling Jackie “One More Thing.� Then, Jade is introduced to us by breaking into an underground military installation of one of the elite police organizations in the world and hijacking one of their mopeds in her first of many attempts to “help� Jackie. | |

Betrayal Insurance: When Shendu's spirit is at the mercy of his angry siblings in the beginning of Season 2, he offers to travel to Earth, possess a human body, and open from there the portals keeping them contained in the Netherworld. With him having abandoned them to rot once already and knowing how conniving he can be, his siblings ensure he will work to free them by placing on him a spell that will keep him trapped in the first body he inhabits and shall be removed by them only after they've all been freed. The fact that he ends up possessing Valmont instead of Jackie like he had planned to makes him all the more motivated to fulfill his end of the bargain. | |

Quirky Miniboss Squad: Chow, Finn and Ratso fulfilled this through several Big Bads. Hak Foo comes and goes with every season. Hell, these three kinda delve into Punch-Clock Villain territory, one episode they got tired of getting beaten up by Jackie and tried to pull a Heel–Face Turn. In the fifth season they are replaced by the significantly more competent Strike Master Ice and his group, although they prove to be more troublesome for Drago. | |

| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: Season Two had several episodes that were set during a time period in the first season (no flashback or anything), sometimes even explaining how certain events ended up that way. In particular, a first season episode opened with Jackie trying to get the snake talisman from a museum. A second season episode set right before it showed he originally found it in a cave in South America and lost it to another archaeologist, who donated it to the museum. Jackie even ends the episode talking about how much easier it is to just walk to the museum. Repeats of the series have placed these episodes in their correct place corresponding to where they fit with the Season 1 plot with Season 2 beginning with the start of the demon portal arc. | |

Shendu probably included an anti-amnesia clause in the changes he made to the book. | |

Pursued by Shadowkhan and Valmont's goons, and after rescuing the driver from certain death after the bridge ahead of the train is destroyed, and the train quickly dives off of the blown-up railway... and without having any Talisman powers, Jackie single-handedly runs across 5 or 6 train cars from the leading train all the way to the end, just narrowly vaulting back to safety while Valmont's goons look on. Ratso flat-out states it: | |

Identical Grandson: Almost every main character gets an identical ancestor in Showdown in the Old West, although the only one we know was identical is past-Jackie (most of it is being pictured by the present-day characters). This is almost certainly due to the modern-day characters imagining their ancestors as being just like themselves. The only character whose physical appearance is actually described is Jade's counterpart, and she's outright stated to be nothing like Jade, being 15 years old and much taller. She insists that "It was a typo!" | |

Despite supposedly being a superhero, he only cares about defeating Turbo Troll and has no respect for the lives of "giants" — that is to say humans — to the extent that he even tried to use his belt blaster, a weapon capable of melting metal, against little girl Jade. | |

Words Do Not Make The Magic | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_906106ae | comment |
Words Do Not Make The Magic: Just chanting an incantation without knowing what you're doing usually causes failure — sometimes horribly. Averted, however, with the cheerleaders. Cheerleaders joining Uncle's chant gave him a serious power boost. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: In one Season 1 episode, Shendu uses the Sheep Talisman's astral projection power to project himself into Jade's dormant body (she was also an astral projection at the time) and possess it. Shendu also accidentally possessed Valmont for most of Season 2. His spirit soon returns and succeeds in possessing Jackie, as was his original plan. The Oni Masks each contain the spirits of the individual Oni Generals and their respective Shadowkhan armies. The mask wearer will gradually succumb to the demonic influence. | |

Justified Trope: The killing of Shendu opened the way for even greater evil. This flows in an entirely logical manner until he is sealed again: his death allows him to act as a means for his siblings to be released back into the world, the talismans being destroyed causes their powers to be scattered to the winds and drives Daolon Wong to try and locate them. | |

Fountain of Youth | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_9141fba3 | comment |
Fountain of Youth: The Dog Talisman gives its holder immortality. While it doesn't make the holder look younger, it makes him feel younger. Thus Uncle becomes incredibly strong and agile like he used to be. In "Lost City Of The Muntabs", Jackie leads the wealthy Dr. Smith through the African jungle looking for the Chalice of Life. they find it in the city of the Muntabs, who drink from it regularly, thus remaining youthful. A girl who appears to be Jade's age is actually over 200. Smith steals the chalice, and without it, the Muntabs begin to age. When Smith an his elderly butler drink from the chalice, they are turned into a baby an a young boy. In "Little Valmont, Big Jade," Valmont is turned into a young boy after an altercation with the wizard Daolon Wong. In "The J-Tots," Jade's misuse of a spell turns the J-Team into small children. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: In the Season 1 finale, Shendu's Evil Plan is to inflict what would likely be a Class 1 for the world overall: he intends to summon an army of dragons from Another Dimension and use them to destroy (not rule) the whole of Asia. In Season 2, though all the Demon Sorcerers individually want to Take Over the World after being freed; Bai Tza and Tchang Zu both respectively threaten to inflict a Class 0 on Los Angeles and San Francisco and then make the ruins the foundation of their new kingdoms. Tso Lan however threatens to cause a Class 4-5 on the How scale, as he wants to pull the moon from orbit and wreck all of Earth's ecosystems as Hostile Terraforming. In Season 4, Tarakudo and his Oni Generals threaten to inflict The Night That Never Ends on the planet using their combined power. Though the show never mentions it, if we think about it in terms of Fridge Horror, the lack of sunlight would likely cause a Class 5-6. In Season 5, Drago intends to bring Hell on Earth. In his Storyboarding the Apocalypse, it looks like humans are suffering a Class 2, but since in the storyboard the moon is broken in two and extradimensional demons are roaming, it'll logically probably be a Class 4 for the Earth's biosphere. | |

| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_970c790a | comment |
The villains are always led by a powerful sorcerer (usually a demon), aided by human henchmen (the Dark Hand Enforcers until Season 5), and occasionally some demonic warriors. The story arc always culminates in a finale, in which the villains, after a long string of failures, suddenly get everything they need, and almost succeed with their plans until finally defeated. | |

As You Know: The second season relied heavily on this to explain why Shendu/Valmont couldn't simply use the Pan'Ku Box on his own to open the Demon Portals (it was forged of good magic, so it hurts them both if they touch it). Nearly every episode in the arc features Valmont attempting to handle the box in some way, only for Shendu to loudly remind him that "I cannot TOUCH good magic!" | |

Evil Counterpart: Daolon Wong to Uncle - which is lampshaded many times (Jade's even once calls him the "Anti-Uncle") - and Hak Foo to Tohru after the first season. Even in Hak Foo's first appearance, where Tohru is still a villain, he is presented as a much more brutal rival to him. In one episode, a criminal mastermind hires an entire team of evil counterparts to the J-Team. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The various Big Bads of later seasons had one spotlight episode in a prior season that establishes them as being slightly more than a filler villain. In Tarakudo's case, it was fairly stealthy as his image was on a book of spells (and when drawn on Jade allowed her to control the Shadowkhan) in a single second season episode, with him only showing up in the fourth season. There are others, too. At least twice before she turns herself into a monkey, Jackie accuses Jade of acting like a baboon. Lo Pei referring to Shendu as "The Ultimate Darkness". Then again, the viewers already knew of Shendu and it was just so the heroes wouldn't know his name before Tohru told them. Daolon Wong was the villain of the week in three season two episodes, during which time he was established as Uncle's Arch-Enemy and was shown to have a desire for the talismans. It was doubtful that anyone was surprised when he became Big Bad of season three. | |

Continuity Nod: When Jade is demonstrating her Talisman Powers, she takes her monkey-form from "The Jade Monkey" In one episode during the second season, Finn quits the Dark Hand to go solo, after having a dream where Jackie beats him up during a concert. Later, Chow & Ratso are fired when they asked Valmont for a raise in lieu of Finn leaving, and all of them decide to work together. In the premiere of the third season, Valmont meets with them to convince them to help steal the talismans, with Finn reminding him that they're "freelancers now." The show's really good with continuity. A lot of season 2's filler episodes go back and explain what happened in and between the first season more in-depth. | |

Filler | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_9de2bf95 | comment |
Filler: Many episodes, though it is spaced out evenly with the Myth Arc. note In many cases, filler ended up as foreshadowing. The Big Bads from seasons three, four, and five all originated from filler episodes in previous seasons, and various spells and artifacts first used in filler suddenly became important later. Unless the writers were really thinking several seasons ahead, it's doubtful that these characters and items were really Chekhov's Guns in disguise. | |

Balance Between Good and Evil | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_a284511d | comment |
Balance Between Good and Evil: Uncle explained that this was why Shendu was Sealed In A Can in the first place - destroying him created a vacuum that would quickly be filled by previously unknown (possibly even stronger or more numerous) evils. As the series progresses, however, this trope zigzags. Season two proves him correct: destroying Shendu puts him into a position where he could release his seven siblings from their cans. If he was simply sealed away again, he couldn't do this and the balance would be preserved. It's implied the void in the ranks of darkness caused by his demise made their release a lot easier. The trouble with Daolon Wong had nothing to do with Shendu until he brought Shendu Back. Unless you realize that the dark chi wizard was likely trying to take advantage of the void to spread evil. Season 4 had a bigger threat than Shendu; Tarakudo, whose goal was to Take Over the World but he showed up after Shendu was finally sealed away again. (He and his forces had been sealed away, but were accidentally released.) Drago enhanced with all the demon powers in the last episode proves to be more than a match for a baseline Shendu, but when Shendu has his talisman powers back he proves to be more than a match. | |

The Chosen Zero | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_a3049ac6 | comment |
The Chosen Zero: A group of Warrior Monks discover that Tohru is the Avatar-esque reincarnation that they have been waiting for, and have this reaction when he fails to meet any of their expectations. By the end of the episode, it turns out that Tohru isn't the reincarnation at all. Jade might be. Given how Jade is, she'd probably elicit that reaction too. Jade is also a very cheerful Harbinger of Impending Doom to the Dark Chi Forces when Tohru isn't the chosen one. | |

| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_a3509d95 | comment |
The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Subverted and hung with a shade. "Namsilat" will not unlock the Talismans and Captain Black's birthday has nothing to do with any numerical codes. When Jackie needs to use a panic word when undercover, the word being chinchilla, he gets this when trying to use it. "What's a chinchilla?" | |

Cloning Splits Attributes | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_a393e645 | comment |
Cloning Splits Attributes: Normally the Tiger Talisman provides spiritual harmony, a power that allows the other talisman powers to be used in concert with each other. But if someone breaks it, it splits them into two versions of themselves, the Yin and the Yang. It should be noted this is not the same as good and evil, though the more aggressive and reckless Yang side does seem prone to Jerkass behavior. | |

Embarrassingly Dresslike Outfit: In Season 2, while Shendu's spirit is possessing Valmont's body, they both strart wearing a "sorcerer's robe" which Valmont finds humiliating, thinking it looks like an unmanly dress. It doesn't help at all when their henchmen trio (Finn, Ratso, Chow) all make mocking compliments about how pretty Shendu/Valmont looks while wearing it. | |

Dream Intro: One episode has Finn dream that he and the other members of the Dark Hand are playing in a band, only for Jackie to show up and beat up Finn for playing off-key (that's the reason Jackie gives). Finn then wakes up. Another episode has Jade's dream she's in school and is supposed to give a report about what she did over summer vacation. Problem: she does not have a report. She then wakes up and she sees (on a calendar) she still has a few days before school starts. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The talismans end up this for the seasons they’re used in. The majority of them have great powers with no drawbacks and only a handful are considered useless, and even then they have a niche that can be useful. One example is the Ox Talisman that curbstomps any foe regardless of their strength. | |

And I Must Scream: Shendu makes it clear that he considers being trapped as a sentient, immobile statue for 900 years to be this from firsthand experience. Likewise, Shendu's seven siblings have spent centuries trapped in a Prison Dimension where there's only rocks floating amidst a void, and they're pretty desperate to escape permanently. The Monkey King, unlike his puppet-fied victims, appears to remain aware in his inanimate, sealed puppet form. | |

Totally Radical: Avoided for the most part, which only makes the examples that stick even more poignant. In the episode Queen of the Shadowkhan, Jade says that's she's going to get "the gnarliest tattoo in the history of gnarl!" Strikemaster Ice and his team are very obviously into rapper slang ("Relax, dawg."), but it is done so completely and mostly ignored by the rest of the cast that it comes off as character flavoring instead of trying to be hip. | |

In an episode where Jackie gets turned into a puppet, the Rat talisman is used to let him animate and control his puppet body. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: This show is packed with a lot of them. Jackie: "Bad day! Bad day! Bad day!" Jackie's usual response to events in the plot. "That's crazy, Jade. You're crazy!" in Seasons 1 and 2. "You gotta be kidding me." "Jade, stay here." "Jade, how do you do that?" / "How does she do that?" "I'M SORRY, I'LL BRING IT BACK LATER, THANK YOUUUUUU!" This is what Jackie says when something needs to be stolen for the good of the world. "It belongs in a museum." Which of course is a Shout-Out to some other series about an Adventurer Archaeologist. "I am not a secret agent, I am an archaeologist." Jade: "Hi, Jackie!" Whenever Jade pops out of nowhere, having followed the group off-screen. "Go Jackie!" "Duh!" and "Tch!" verges on being Jade's Verbal Tic. "Jackieeee!" Uncle: "One more thing!" Uncle's most commonly used phrase. At one point there was a Voice Clip Song version produced by WB. "AIYAAAH!" is used whenever something goes wrong. "Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao!" (Cantonese for "Evil demons and malevolent spirits, be gone!"). This is Uncle's most common spell; it doesn't matter what the spell is for, these are the words used. "Magic Must Defeat Magic!" "We must do research!" "You want a piece of Uncle?" "You want Uncle to do X? Yes/No? Then let Uncle work in peace!" "Talk later!" "Jackieeee!" Tohru: "NYAR!" "I hate fish." "[Hand over] the talisman", when he worked for the Dark Hand. Captain Black: "Whoa, nelly!" El Toro: "Sorry!" "El Toro Fuerte never removes his mask!" Paco: "El Toro is the greatest!" Tohru's Mom often refers to Uncle as "billy goat". Super Moose: "Da-da-da-da-da-da, ANTLER ACTION!" "Evil on the loose, you do not want to mess with Super Moose!" Chow: "Sweet!" Finn: "Scooore!" Ratso: "Whoa." Hak Foo: "Angry crow takes flight!" Shendu: "NOOOOO! Not again!" Tarakudo: (hit with an onion) "MY EYES! MY EYES!" | |

Magic Must Defeat Magic | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_b8eb6a69 | comment |
A repeated statement by Uncle is that "Magic Must Defeat Magic!" and, sure enough, whenever a magic-empowered enemy appears (which is like 99.9% of the major enemies) they are completely immune to everything but magical attacks (or martial arts, or magically-empowered martial arts) and by the middle part of the series Captain Black and his subordinates don't even bother to do more than tell Team Chan where to go and arrest any defeated human goons the chaos leaves behind. | |

Must Be Invited | |

Must Be Invited: When Hsi Wu loses his tail, Uncle charms the shop so he can't get inside and retrieve it without an invitation. Hsi Wu gets around this by shapeshifting into a kid and befriending Jade at school (unwittingly launching a thousand fanfics). Jade and Xu Lin use this to get around part of the Lotus Temple's curse; Jade can't be an 'intruder' if she's invited. | |

Forced Transformation | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_b97a2fa7 | comment |
Forced Transformation: This happens to the characters quite frequently throughout the series. The list is endless. Let's see, Jackie's been transformed into several things, including a yak, a kangaroo with a pouch despite being male, a wooden puppet, and an earth demon. The Enforcers were forcibly turned into Daolon Wong's new Dark Chi Warriors after his old ones were sealed away during Season 3. A Season 3 episode starts with Daolon turning Valmont into a child after the latter demanded to have the Enforcers back. Wonder why he never did this to his active enemies, like Jackie, Uncle or Tohru. | |

It also turns out that magic as powerful as the Chinese Zodiac-based one within the Talismans cannot be destroyed, just transferred from one recipient to another, which means that Jackie's attempt to get rid of them in the third season just leads to another worldwide scavenger hunt, only this time for magically-empowered animals instead of talismans. | |

Irony: Early on in the second season, the bad guys are distributing the Talismans among each other. Finn gets both the talisman that bestows Immortality and the one that gives its user a Healing Factor. Feeling that healing is redundant to an immortal, he trades it to one of his fellows for a different talisman. In the ensuing Traintop Battle, Finn ends up getting slammed into a mountainside at top speed. Being immortal, he survives the blow... and is completely sidelined for the rest of the fight and is unable to do anything other than pathetically whimper that "immortality hurts." | |

Sealed Evil in a Duel: The series ends with this, as the fifth season's Big Bad Drago (using the powers of all eight demon sorcerers) and his father Shendu (the Big Bad of the entire series, using all twelve of his talismans) are sealed within another realm to duel for all eternity. Neither of them takes their fate very seriously, and they spend their time bickering: Shendu chastising Drago for being an impudent child playing with his father's world (yes, Shendu still thinks Earth is his for the taking), while Drago whines about Shendu never being there for him because he's always busy fighting wizards. | |

Couch Gag: The opening sequence will change only slightly each season. It usually will feature the MacGuffin(s) of the season, the Big Bad, and the final enemy he knocks out at the end. As a side effect, it is an effective visual shorthand to tell you which season you're watching, which is helpful if episodes are played in the Anachronic Order mentioned above. | |

Large Runt: A variation. Tohru is a massive, round, muscular man who begins the series in the service of the Dark Hand, though he later turns good. One would assume that he's a sumo wrestler, however, in one episode he is required to enter a martial arts competition against a sumo wrestler. Tohru states that he is "too small for sumo," and indeed, the real sumo wrestler is much larger than Tohru. | |

Season 5's intro doesn't feature the Enforcers and, while Drago becoming the major antagonist was probably expected by the time the intro first started, his featured henchmen wouldn't appear before his third episode. | |

Enlightened Antagonist | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_cfd3ddce | comment |
Enlightened Antagonist: Parodied with the Old Monk from "The Lotus Temple" episode. He is a Buddhist monk with supernatural powers (including levitating in the lotus position) who speaks in cryptic proverbs, and nonetheless, he turns out to be the villain of the episode and a dark Chi sorcerer who is after the magical Scroll of Hung Chao. In "Into the Mouth of Evil", Jackie is pursued by Mohajah, a menacing Indian mystic with mind-reading powers. Subverted: it turns out that Mohajah was Good All Along, and simply wanted to foil the real villains' plans by removing a dangerous artifact that they had planted in Jackie's tooth in order to smuggle it to India. | |

Just a Stupid Accent | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_db1ab4b1 | comment |
Just a Stupid Accent: Chinese characters rarely speak any Chinese language, even during the episodes set in China. Even more jarringly, the two characters who had been in America for a large portion of their lives - Uncle and Jackie - still had accents, while the one character who supposedly just came over from China - Jade - has a very American accent. This may be justified, albeit weakly, by the fact that Jade is from Hong Kong, where many people have what sounds like an American accent - except her parents don't really have much in the way of accents either. Jackie's accent can also be justified as the actor imitating the real Jackie Chan, who does have a recognizable accent. In one episode, Uncle even does research with a Japanese to Chinese dictionary. Lampshaded in the Three Wise Monkeys-based episode, where Uncle can't read a speechless Jackie's lips because Jackie's accent's too thick. | |

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_dd3272bb | comment |
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: At one point the Dark Hand had all the talismans and used their powers for themselves. Of the twelve that includes Flight, Eye Beams, and Super-Speed, Finn ended up with Astral Projection, Motion to the Motionless, and Spiritual Balance. It got better when Hak Foo, disdaining the talismans he had (some of the better ones), tossed them to Finn. Lampshaded, as Finn later traded the Horse Talisman (healing) for the Pig Talisman (laser eyes). "Immortality and healing? That's redundant!" Not much later, he's plowed into the roof of a tunnel. He naturally survives, but realizes: "Immortality...hurts." The Sheep Talisman is most often subject to this. The Tiger talisman may be effectively useless, but use of the Sheep causes you to drop into a coma in the middle of a fight. However, any general in Ancient China would kill for a means to communicate long distances without using a relay of heralds. Being in an era that still had magic would make the dreams messages more believable. One more thing. Traveling the astral plane would be invaluable to any magician, but that would be as interesting as off-camera magical research. Similarly, during one of these fights, Hak Foo activates the Tiger Talisman (without splitting it) and boasts that with the Power of Balance, he cannot be knocked down. Tohru body checks him to the floor and takes the talisman. "Spiritual balance, Hak Fool." On the flipside, Motion to the Motionless is pretty epic, though you have to be careful who you use it on. You might end up with a Physical God that wants to kill you, a Noble Warrior from ages past, or a small army of killer flying moose. Regarding the Tiger Talisman, its intended power is of spiritual balance. Though the exact nature of what that means is never really seen in the series. Merely that it acts as the glue that allows Shendu, and later Jade when she absorbs their powers, to use the Talismans in concert together. | |

Continuity Drift: In the Season 2 episode Through the Rabbit Hole, it is stated Uncle did not start his study of magic until somewhere in the late 1970s or possibly early 1980s (and thus has no knowledge about magic when Jade travels back in time to the 1970s and meets him there). Yet, in the season 3 episode A Night At The Opera it is stated Uncle has been familiar with magic since his youth; studying theater magic at school as a child before becoming interested in Chi magic and abandon his study for opera star to continue on that path. | |

Innocuously Important Episode | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_dee56696 | comment |
Innocuously Important Episode: This show loved to use this trope, as many of the seemingly skippable filler episodes end up paying big way for future events, especially when it came to introducing their future villains: Queen of the Shadowkhan has Jade getting a tattoo from the symbol in a book, where she ends up possessed by it and can now rule the Shadowkhan ninjas. This hints at the fact that Shendu stole the Shadowkhan from somebody else, and the symbol is later revealed as the mark of Tarakudo, the Big Bad of Season 4. The Chosen One has Tohru chosen as the prophesized master of a group of Monks, where a dark chi wizard ends up trying to hunt him to prevent said prophecy. Said wizard is Daolon Wong, who ends up becoming the main villain when he returns in Season 3. The Good Guys features Finn, Ratso and Chow giving up on evil, but later returning into it as they attempt to steal a magic opal. This same episode features the Ice Crew, who act as more competent versions of the Enforcers. They later return in Season 5 as they replace the Enforcers as the minions in the final season. J2 - Rise of the Dragons has a story where Jade sees two strangers from the future arrive, one being her future self, and the other being Drago, Shendu's son, who later returns as the final villain of the last season. | |

Friend to All Living Things | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_e21faf11 | comment |
Friend to All Living Things: Jade and the Chans in general. Jade's liking and friendliness towards animals is quite helpful in the third season. She doesn't think rats are cute ("Cuuute" being one of her stock phrases) but isn't about to let Daolon get his hands on it. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: A lot of episodes (especially the stand-alones from Season 2) referenced famous movies or the Mythos thereof. Enter the J-Team is one for Enter the Dragon (doubled with a Shout-Out to The A-Team). Enter the Cat is one that's hard to spot, what with the magic cat scratch and all, but a significant portion of the episode involves dealing with a rich, overweight art collector and his tiny, timid underling: The Maltese Falcon. There's a James Bond episode, which gets spoofed instead of being a straight reference; Jackie ends up inadvertently knocking out Agent Tag, the James Bond analog, which leaves him to do the man's job for him. Tag takes all the credit, and Jackie's happy to let him have it. The Old West episode is about a minority being named sheriff by a corrupt government official, in the hopes that he'll be a patsy and spend too much time dealing with the town's racism that he won't have time to investigate said official's illegal dealings... which is basically the same plot as Blazing Saddles. | |

Tragic Monster | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_e35bc0f7 | comment |
Tragic Monster: One episode features an ancient temple hiding great magical secrets, guarded by a hulking Yeti-like monster that viciously hunts down any intruders. As it turns out, this monster is a little girl who wandered into the temple one night years ago, and was cursed to become it's guardian whenever anyone sets foot inside its walls. Jade, of course, makes friends with her, and they both try to find a way to stop her transformations, though the girl is more concerned with getting everyone out so she doesn't lose control and hurt anyone. | |

Call-Forward: During a flashback episode, Jackie mentions the difficulty he's had finding the Snake Talisman. "You'd think it was invisible." One shows up quite early in the first season Guess what talisman power the pig has? In "The Good, The Bad, The Blind, The Deaf And The Mute", when Jackie, Jade, and Tohru become respectively mute, deaf, and blind, Jade mistakes Uncle to be the mute one. Uncle turns mute in "Mirror, Mirror". | |

Exact Words | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: When Jade accidentally uses a spell to make Uncle go into a deep sleep, she has to go inside his mind to figure out the spell to seal the Earth Demon back. Uncle replies that she needs a flower and the hair of 'you'...Jade thinks he was talking about pulling hairs out of her head, and not a hair of a ewe aka wool. Jade also uses this as an excuse to follow Jackie in one episode after being told once again to "stay with Uncle." Shendu tries to pull this off in "The New Atlantis." When he first promises to release his demonic siblings, they cast a spell that keeps him trapped in the first body he possesses until he sets them all free. Bai Tza, the Water Demon, is the last Demon Sorcerer to be saved, and as soon as her portal is opened, Shendu demands that she release him from Valmont's body. Bai Tza refuses, and Shendu points out that he technically kept his word by releasing all of his brothers and sisters—they never said anything about their having to stay free to reverse the spell. | |

The Team | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The Team: The J-Team to be precise. The Leader: Jackie is The Face of the team, the guy the rest of them rely on, and the main guy on the front lines. The Lancer: Jade is primarily the Kid Sidekick who sneaks around and gets into trouble, but is constantly cheering on Jackie even if they don't always get along. The Smart Guy: Uncle is an Old Master who performs magic and understands enemy weaknesses the best. He also fills a mentor role. Viper's super-thief skills come in handy when tracking down and obtaining the many magical artifacts on the show. The Big Guy: Tohru is a Gentle Giant, as a former enforcer for the bad guys with the build of a sumo wrestler, who eventually gets magic training from Uncle to become a Magic Knight. El Toro is a secondary bruiser because he is a professional wrestler. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Tohru is a bad guy until his defection at the end of season 1, but escapes criminal charges. What makes it a hell of a lot more plausible than most cartoons is that he teamed up with a family who are best buddies with the leader of a high-tech and powerful secret government organization. This is the government we're talking about. And even then, it is said he is on parole while living with the Chans and when criminal activity happens near the store, police look at him first. The episode "Glove Story" paints Tohru as a suspect when a jewel theft is committed near Uncle's shop. In that episode Tohru clarifies that he is basically on parole working in Uncle's shop thanks to Captain Black's connections. Also, in the Grand Finale, Strike Master Ice and his posse betray Drago to try and steal the demon sorcerer powers for themselves, but fail and are imprisoned in concrete as a result. Despite this, later in the episode, Drago frees them and gives them each a chi power to use to destroy Section 13. | |

Team Rocket Wins | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f3d38c6d | comment |
Team Rocket Wins: At the start of the second season, the Dark Hand has all twelve talismans, and they use them to run a robbery that can't be beaten by all of Section 13, including Jackie and Jade. Not until the end of the next episode do the good guys turn the tables, and even then, it takes a few additional protagonists to do it. | |

All-Accessible Magic | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f3d9aa5b | comment |
All-Accessible Magic: Chi magic can be learned by anyone through study and practice. Uncle, who has been a chi wizard for years, usually acts as the main spellcaster on the side of the protagonists, but over the course of the series he trains Tohru to become a chi wizard, and Jade has also tried her hands at magic a few times, with varying results. In "The J Team" even the usually skeptic Captain Black decides to give it a try; he ends up turning himself into a frog. | |

It Belongs in a Museum | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f4b6d62a | comment |
It Belongs in a Museum: Except in "Enter the Cat" where Jackie decides that the cat statue is too dangerous even for a museum and destroys it instead. Also excluded is the time Jackie had to steal the Snake Talisman from a museum, because the talismans are too dangerous/sought after to be in such a public place. | |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f4fd424c | comment |
All Your Base Are Belong to Us: In "Queen of the Shadowkhan", Jade's titular Superpowered Evil Side takes control of Section 13 with the aid of the Shadowkhan. In "The Powers Unleashed", both the Dark Hand and Daolon Wong break into Section 13 to steal the Talismans. In "Re-Enter The Dragon", Shendu attacks Section 13 to take back the Talisman powers from the Noble Animals. In "Ninja Twilight", the unleashed combined might of the Shadowkhan tribes quickly seize control of Section 13. In "Black and White and Chi All Over", Drago briefly breaks into Section 13 to steal the demon chi, but is quickly repelled. In "The Powers that Be - Part 2", Drago sends the empowered Ice Crew to attack Section 13 and destroy it. | |

Broken Masquerade | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f506d08c | comment |
Broken Masquerade: On a minimum level. In Season 1, Captain Black was The Scully who refused to believe that there was anything supernatural going on. When Shendu is awakened, Black got to see him in full view and immediately changed his story. Played for laughs in Season 2, where he starts believing anything and everything was demon- and magic-related, and when his supervisors won't believe him he is sent to all manner of psychologists. Eventually, the Grand Finale ends up with a massive royal rumble where San Francisco is well trashed, so Black makes an offhand remark about getting the town evacuated because of a meteor shower threat, but it's implied that they really can't claim Plausible Deniability on this, possibly resulting in The Unmasqued World. | |

Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now? | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f6d6a1c2 | comment |
Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now?: While Jade is seen occasionally going to school, most of her time is spent going on or stowing away on adventures. A straighter example is Paco, who never leaves the side of El Toro Fuerte (except in "Re-Enter the J-Team" where El Toro says he's absent due to being busy with his school assignment). | |

Terrible Interviewees Montage: When Finn left the Dark Hand to create his own criminal group, the applicants who showed up before Ratso and Chow did were a disappointment. When Drago was hiring replacements for the Enforcers, the rejects (other than Valmont) disappointed him in a similar fashion. | |

Running Gag | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
The heroes usually follow a formula or running gag. Jackie is always getting into wacky fights and chases, usually involving a lot of fistfights, acrobatics, and amusing injuries. Jade is always sneaking into dangerous situations, much to Jackie's chagrin. Uncle helps out by performing research, and using a magic spell to finish things off. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Jackie Chan Adventures / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Much of "Shanghai Moon," the second season episode featuring Tso Lan the Moon Demon, falls under this, as the episode takes place in outer space. Particularly creative uses include: The entire Dark Hand, Jackie, Tohru, and Jade—a small child—acclimating to being in space instantaneously, with no physical detriments (or even mild motion sickness). This one is lampshaded by Ratso, who asks "Don't we need, uh, astronaut training?" before the mission begins. Jackie holding onto the outside of a rocket ship as it breaks the atmosphere, then managing to climb up the huge structure to the shuttle inside. The shuttle is shown to be in space (or very near the top of Earth's atmosphere, where there virtually is no atmosphere), but Jackie only grows temporarily short of breath before entering it. Jackie removing his air hose on the moon to release the lotus pod needed to banish Tso Lan, then quickly replacing it. | |

Brick Joke: In the monkey talisman episode, Jade yells (in monkey) for help. Several of the nearby pack rush to her aid... including a giraffe, who was a monkey that she changed with the talisman. In an early episode, Jackie quips that Tohru would enjoy working at Section 13 because every Thursday is Donut Day. When Tohru does pull his Heel–Face Turn, Captain Black asks why he would help them. Tohru answers, "I've been told Section 13 serves donuts on Thursdays." | |

Once a Season: About 2/3rds of the way through a season they would have the group lose one of the talismans etc. to the bad guys, reinforcing that they are still human. As well, the final episode usually had the pieces being united to demonstrate their power and why they didn't want them together in the first place. | |
