My childhood cartoon. I love watching it every Saturday. The wait and the anticipation every week for a new episode makes it worth it. Kids don't know how good they have it nowadays with everything on demand.
Tohru: I know this one. That's the conjuring spell, one which requires garlic and uh ginger Uncle: Correct....... IF YOU WERE MAKING CHICKEN CHOW MEIN!!!! Me:💀😂
@@LongShot1225 Not to mention that, unlike Shendu and Daolon Wong, he offered to reward them for their efforts, only resorting to threats when they refused. And even after he press-ganged them into serving him, he still feels that they deserved to be rewarded anyway, presenting the oni mask as a gift.
Between this and Season Three, Shendu has a tendency to covet others' powers. To be fair, this could also explain how he and not his siblings escaped limbo the first time around.
@@metamorpheus9573 do you know what would've been awesome had Shendu and his siblings harnessed the power of each of the Oni masks and controlled their own shadowkhan. each fitting their elements and physiology
@@Ani8900 That would cause problems since the masks are not supposed to be gathered together. Still, ... I can see Hsi Wu with Mask #3, Po Kong with Mask #4, Bai Tsa with Mask #6, Tso Lan with Mask #9, etc.
@@metamorpheus9573 considering what Tarakudo would do, I highly agree, but if they kept the masks in their separate domains/castles, they wouldn't have that problem.
@@Orsonfoe I would pick the classic original shadow khan, because they have five fingers, including thumbs. Meaning they can serve me breakfast and do all sort of things for me. Like doing the dishes, taking out the trash, cutting the yard, go grocery shopping. Enforcing people to listen to me and stop ignoring me.
I loved this season. It gave the shadowkhan a deeper lore than just shadow ninja servants, to an ancient Chinese dragon Demon, but an even greater range from not only the ninjas but different types of shadow ninjas with different abilities and strengths. And Tohru got an even bigger roll this season as well. I'm saying this again since I already said this on someone else's comment: It would've been even better if Shendu and his demon siblings controlled each of the shadowkhan ninja clans based on their physiology
@@Tacom4ster Daolong was good, but Tarakudo had more personality and a cooler design/lore. I mean we never did learn about who Daolong was or where he came from.
I just realized Daolon Wong knew who Tarakudo was and Uncle didn't. This means that Daolon Wong likely knew the true origin of Shendu's ability to summon the Shadowkhan. Daolon Wong just owned Uncle in knowledge if nothing else.
@@metamorpheus9573 I believe it's implied that Daolon Wong uses his chi draining powers to extend his lifespan and increase his power (with those leech mouths on his palms) kind of like the Chi Vampire but without turning his victims.
Very good legendary back when cartoons were cartoons Early 2000s good times back then and I would sort of shows the historical conflicts between China and Japan as well as the unity of the heroes very good historical informative and you learn something you certainly don't see that in today's times
This season was always my favorite because they had turned the background shadow minions into a threat with actual lore not involving the talismans or the demons, not to mention the designs for them all were great
I only had two issues with Season 4 and if they had resolved them, this season would have been perfect! 1. The 9th mask was never worn by anybody and the Mantis Khan were only on screen for about 10 seconds. As a result, the season 4 finale felt very rushed. I would have preferred it if somebody wore the 9th mask and the finale was at least two episodes long. 2. The Ninja Khan Tribe seems brushed to the side in favor of focusing on the new ones. Out of all the 9 Mask Demons the writers could have chosen, they pick one of the new guys to talk and have a personality (Ikazuki) whereas the Ninja Mask Demon was really only used to demonstrate how the masks worked (Chow wore it for about five minutes) and Rairakku, the Ninja General did not get a speaking role at all. Considering the Ninjas were the ONLY tribe of shadowkhan for three out of four seasons, I would have thought the writers would have given them a better send off in Season 4.
Too bad Tohru missed that part. xD To be fair, had they left Tarakudo to do his own thing, he probably would have succeeded with this much quicker and with more casualties.
One of my favorite and number one season of the bunch and diffenty show case Tohru gifts and most of all let him shine by going from student to teacher
Honestly, Jade's parents would of grounded her (if they found out about her dangerous "adventures" and for being a disobedient troublemaker) until high school graduation. Then again, maybe until she's 15 or 16 years old, to be fair.
Captain Black was a total bron in this ep. First he almost sacrifises to save Tohru, former enemy, now friend. Then it was his idea to drive stairs car and help Jackie inside. Awesome!
9:43 Uncle needs to review his facts. The people who HE has seen controlling the Shadowkhan in the past were Chinese, but he forgets that the Shadowkhan are ninjas. And everyone knows ninjas (shinobi) originate from Japan.
I love that they find out a ancient magical demon mask is going to awake an army of shadow demons with the intent on engulfing the earth in eternal darkness and Jade is just like "Sick! I was getting bored!"
I was always confused on why tarakudo never took Dow Long Wong from the prison as well as with his magic (even weakened at the moment) and a oni mask he could have been very useful.
probably bc he didn’t trust him. couple things that always confused me about this season were: 1) Why Toru’s mother didn’t make an appearance, she usually showed up a couple times since season 2 but not in season 4 when she was the one who told Toru the stories about the Oni. 2) Why Tarakudo’s picture could control the shadow khan and he was the King of Oni but he had no power himself to control the shadow khan. 3) Why Tarakudo’s picture when tattooed on a person could only control one tribe of shadowkahn and not all the tribes of Shadowkhan? however i have a theory for that i think it because when Shedu stole the power from the mask of the oni ruler for that tribe of shadowkhan he weakened the link between the oni and shadowkhan for that particular tribe and that was why Tarakudo’s symbol could only control that tribe but that is just my theory?
Jackie Chan Adventures jumped the shark after season 3, but the show stayed true to its style all the way through. That alone makes the last two seasons worth watching, even if there's a certain quality drop.
Jade branded herself with the Mark of Tarakudo to acquire the power to summon shadowkhan. Given Tarakudo's psychic abilities, he seems to possess some kind of telepathic awareness to every time somebody else summons the shadowkhan, as evidenced by his knowledge of Shendu's usage of the Shadowkhan.
Damn would i love to either wear this Mask or those of the Bat or Samurai Khan. Not only do you gain a army of Shadow soldiers your fighting abilities go true the roof.
