Jackie: If the Hana fuda cards are correct,
then the next oni mask...
Has gotta be... There!
Where is card indicating mask removal ingredient?
Right here, unc. Whoop...
Aiyaa!
(All gasp)
Whew!
Snatched from the jaws of defeat.
Whoa!
Well, at least you guys got a good look
at the ingredient on the card... Right?
Heh heh.
No removal ingredient? No problem.
We just make mega-sure
no one wears the mask this time. Right?
(Gasp)
Dark magic resides here.
Quickly, we must find mask before...
Hey, wait a sec.
I've seen this place... On TV!
We're in miss Kimber's psychic shack.
Miss who's psychic what?
Miss Kimber, from the psychic hot line.
Duh.
Pfft!
No one can see future.
All psychics are...
Phonies? Ha ha ha ha ha.
I knew you was gonna say that.
Whoa! She's good!
A cheap trick.
Fortune teller saw us approach.
Hmm. But she's very skilled dollmaker.
You are here for the mask, hmm?
(Gasp) How do you know this?
The boy's not too quick on the uptake, huh?
I'm psychic, hon.
Ho ho ho.
Then I guess you knew we'd be taking it.
Thank you.
Hmm.
The stars don't say you take it, sugar.
He does.
Jackie, Jade: Hak foo?
(Scoffs) Stars do not talk.
Hak foo: So that is the mask...
Destined for my face.
Jackie, take mask!
I knew he was going to say that, too.
Whoa!
Whoo! Aah! Oh!
Oh, sorry. Aah!
Jade: Faster, Jackie, he's gaining!
Jade! This is...
Dangerous?
Hey, I must be psychic.
And what do you think you're whipping up, sugar?
If you can truly see future,
you would know uncle is devising removal spell
in case mask is worn by hak foo.
Only... Uncle must learn
of missing key ingredient.
(Gasp) You hear that?
The stars are talking.
And they say you can have the answer you seek
revealed by yours truly for only 9.95 a minute.
(Gasp) You are fraud...
And money grubber!
Unh! Unh!
Whoa!
All hands on deck!
Hyah!
Unh! Unh!
Whoa!
Uhh!
Hyah!
Aah! Ooh!
Uh, not too much off the top, please.
Let him go!
Uh, Jade, who is steering?
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
And here is prediction for you:
I see piece of uncle in your future!
Whenever you're done, hon,
you're gonna want to scooch a tad to the left.
(Boat approaching)
Whoa! Aah! Whoa!
Unh! Oh!
Whoa! Unh!
Mud slide!
(Groaning)
Jade, where is the mask?
At last!
Uh... Found it.
And now, chans,
prepare to meet the fiercest tribe
of shadowkhan yet...
Mine.
Demon summons ninja army!
(Both gasp)
They... they are...
They are so...
Cute!
(Growling)
Demon compensates for inferior ninja army!
Unh! Ooh!
Uhh! Uh!
No! Aah!
Jackie, grab on!
Jackie!
I will not see you later, alligator.
(Grumbling)
little shrimps!
Jackie?
(Gasping for air)
Ah, Jackie,
you are trying to find card
with mask removal ingredient?
No, uncle.
I am trying not to become alligator bait!
Well, you must learn to multi-task.
Now come. We must research mask removal ingre...
Ah... Teeny tiny shadowkhan.
Mmm... Milk and...
Uncle: Tohru! Research!
Crumbs.
Oh... I hope you do not mind
if we roll out the futons.
Jade: Good night.
This is monumental.
Never before have we captured a shadowkhan.
It is... So cute!
Do not be deceived by appearances.
Uncle will bring Japanese reference book
so you can get busy.
Who knows what close study of our captive may uncover.
(Sighs) Yes, sensei.
(Glass jar rattles)
Cookie-eating shadowkhan.
Huh?
My shadow!
Ohh...
Sensei.
One more thing.
Keep blowfish handy.
Cannot be too careful with...
(thud)
(Gasp) Ooh.
(Tohru snoring)
(Glass jar clinks)
(Gasp)
(Growling)
Aiyaaa!
(Snarling)
(Gasp)
Aah!
Uncle!
(Growling)
Jackie, fire blowfish!
Uncle is waiting!
Jade: I got it!
Fish fry!
Ooh!
Tohru is in very deep sleep.
Shadows contain our yin...
One half of our chi.
Clearly this shadowkhan tribe grows stronger
by feeding upon human shadows.
And without this part of our life force,
we are doomed to a state of limbo.
Well, how can we get tohru's shadow back?
We must end hak foo's control over his shadowkhan,
but we cannot remove mask from him
without spell ingredient.
Hmph! Stupid gator!
And without tohru to translate Japanese,
learning spell ingredient will be difficult.
Well, until you do,
that shadow eater is out there.
We must find it before it harms anyone else.
Ninja hunt.
Do not be foolish.
Your own shadows are at risk.
T'ch.
If the li'l freaks are hungry,
they can eat this! Hyah!
Jade: Oops.
Aaah!
The way to keep shadow eaters
from eating shadow
is to not cast one.
Now, exhale and...
Attack!
Hak foo: Fight like warriors!
Eye of the tiger! Eye of the tiger!
How charming.
Grr! Show master tarakudo your war faces!
Ooh. If I had a spine,
it would be tingling.
Grr!
Hak foo, all shadowkhan are deadly.
You just need to be aware of their strengths.
You call these strong?
I see a demonstration is in order.
Chow: Aah!
Hello!
Kinda in the middle of something here!
Ho ho ho.
Where'd you get the mini-'Khan?
Grrrrr!
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. Wait for it.
(Whistles)
Tarakudo: Uh, fellas?
Chow: Ha! Hey, hak, are these guys
on loan from Santa?
Ha ha ha!
Huh?
Hey, how... what are you...
(gasp)
Ohh. Uhh.
Growing boys need their nutrients.
And an entire city of shadows
awaits my army!
Uncle: Ninja-suction unit?
Check.
Chi-powered night-vision goggles?
Check.
Hand-held dark chi detector?
Check.
And, in case back-up is needed...
Check!
Base potion, in the event uncle discovers
missing ingredient for removal spell.
(Sigh) Uncle will remain here
armed with Japanese-to-Chinese dictionary.
Let's bring tohru back from dreamland.
(Crackling)
We found tohru's shadow eater.
More like a new batch of shadow eaters.
Run!
(Gasp)
Huh? (Crackles)
Ooh! Ooh!
Bwaaa! Whoa. Ninja swarm.
Don't worry, Jackie. No shadow, no lunch.
Uhh!
Aah! Ohh!
You've been hosed.
(Sigh) Thank you, Jade.
"Substitute mask removal ingredient is often
shoelace of giraffe."
Aiyaaa!
Giraffes do not wear shoes!
Jade chan, pest control.
Huh!
Huh?
My bag is full.
I'm betting this little guy
will lead us to the big one
who munched tohru's shadow.
Oh! Jade?
Uh...
Found our boy.
And he has been snacking between meals.
Ohh! Ohh!
(Growling)
I thought you were gator food, chan.
Time to hand over tohru's shadow.
Huh?
Jackie, he's too big!
Jade, run!
Run after tiny, right!
And stay out of the light!
Uh, Jackie...
That may be a problem.
Good morning, chan...
And good night.
Bear feeds on honey!
Uhh!
Uhh! Whaa!
Where is that removal spell, uncle?
(Sighs)
Japanese translation is not going well, tohru.
Unless ingredient we seek is
"lobster wearing corduroy pants."
(Softly) Aiyaaa.
Hmm?
(Gasp) You!
Looks like you in need of some good fortune, sugar.
Who says uncle needs fortune?!
Hmm?
Phone me now, and we can fix whatever is ailing you...
Together.
Pfft! If uncle wanted quack,
he would phone take-out for Peking duck!
Only I have the answers you seek.
Ohhh!
Oh!
Ooh!
Imagine, chan,
an army of these creatures,
obeying my every command!
Huh! Aah!
Come on out, tiny.
Don't you want to party with your pals?
Whoa!
Unh!
Grrrr!
(Click click)
There's more than one way to skin a ninja!
Gone fishin'.
(Blows)
(Sigh)
For you, my apprentice.
(Ring)
Welcome to miss Kimber's psychic hotline,
where I reveal what the stars tell.
Uncle needs helps finding mask-removal ingredient
and for you to never speak of this to anyone!
Yes. Yes. I see.
And it's high time you pursued your true passion.
(Gasp)
Oil painting?!
That's right.
'Cause the stars say
uncle needs to take time out for uncle.
(Gasp)
It is like you have window into uncle's soul.
Here, tiny!
(Kissy sounds)
Here, boy. Come on. Where are you?
(Rumbling)
Oh, boy.
You may have survived a gator, chan,
but how about a land shark?!
(Sniffing)
Grrr! Enough with the shadow puppets!
Rrrr! Oh!
It's chow time.
(Distant pounding and shaking)
Huh! Uh!
Jackie, I think tiny had a big breakfast.
(Roar)
Now that's what I call a warrior!
(Cell phone rings)
Uncle?
Jackie, if psychic speaks truth,
there is good chance uncle will be taking unexpected trip.
Oh, the mask-removal ingredient is fish.
Oh! Uncle, we are about to be swallowed by a whale!
Where are we supposed to find a fish
in the middle of downtown?!
Duh!
Hit it, unc!
Uncle, on phone: Dokeru kimen yaaku.
Dokeru kimen yaaku.
Uhh!
(Struggling)
Whoa!
Aah!
Oof!
Ohhh!
Jade: Think one of those belongs to tohru?
Jackie, all is right again.
(Groan)
Sensei?
Aiyaaa!
Who told you to move, tohru?
What... What is that?
Oil painting.
Uncle must learn to take time out for uncle.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
If I have superpower,
I can stop everything, like, "freeze!"
Then, after I fix everything, "continue."
Yeah, like tornado coming, I can, "freeze."
Tell people, "run away."
"Ok, keep coming."
And, yes, I'd really like to have this kind of power.
