[[Jackie]] and [[Jade]], in a mini sub, find the last [[Oni]] [[Oni mask|mask]] at the bottom of ocean. However, Jade is suspicious, as usually, [[Tarakudo]] and his goons would show up, in which they would do the ultimate good vs. evil battle royale; Jackie is relieved. However, as they make their way back to [[Section 13]], their stream of bubbles reveals Tarakudo, smiling evilly.

[[Jackie Chan|Jackie]] and [[Jade Chan|Jade]], in a mini-sub, find the last [[Oni]] [[Oni Masks|Mask]] at the bottom of the ocean, embedded onto the figurehead of a sunken ship. However, Jade is suspicious, as [[Tarakudo]] and [[Enforcers|his goons]] would usually have shown up to stop them, and expresses her disappointment at the absence of an "ultimate good vs. evil battle royale" over the final Oni Mask; Jackie, on the other hand, is relieved. However, as they make their way back to [[Section 13]], their stream of bubbles reveals Tarakudo, smiling ominously.
   
At the vault, all nine masks are secured and the Chans believe their quest is complete. Then suddenly, [[Tohru]] had the willies, as the masks glow and shatter, releasing the Oni generals from within. Led by [[Ikazuki]], they leap at the Chans but Jade uses the Dragon [[Talismans|Talisman]] to repel them. As she gathers the rest, they escape and lock the Oni in the vault. But they summon one of each [[Shadowkhan]] to attack the Chans, which they all destroy with the Talismans. But when the ninth, the mantis appears, they use the Snake talisman to get out of the compound. But even outside, countless Shadowkhan are everywhere. But then they merge into a shadow shroud, covering everything in darkness. As Tohru recites, the combined power of the masks can summon enough Shadowkhan to cover the Earth in eternal darkness.

At the vault, the mask is placed upon the wall amongst the other eight. With all nine masks successfully secured, the Chans affirm that their quest is complete. However, Tohru seems nervous and ultimately gets [[The Willies|the willies]] as the masks proceed to glow before shattering into pieces, releasing the Oni Generals imprisoned from within. Led by [[Ikazuki]], they leap at the Chans, but Jade uses the [[Dragon Talisman]] to repel them. As she gathers the rest, they escape whilst sealing the vault behind them, locking the Oni inside. Trapped, the Oni begin to summon [[Ninja Khan|o]][[Razor Khan|n]][[Bat Khan|e]] [[Sumo Khan|o]][[Samurai Khan|f]] [[Squid Khan|e]][[Crab Khan|a]][[Mini Khan|c]][[Mantis Khan|h]] [[Shadowkhan]] to attack the Chans, including "[[Mantis Khan|the new guy]]" from the ninth and final tribe. Aided by the Talismans, the Chans are able to destroy their aggressors, but when a [[Mantis Khan|mantis-like member]] appears, they use the [[Snake Talisman]] to flee the compound. The Chans escape and emerge out onto the surface, only to come across a countless army of Shadowkhan from every tribe. The Chans prepare for a tough fight, but the warriors suddenly merge into a shadow shroud, covering everything in darkness. As Tohru recites, the combined power of the nine masks can summon enough Shadowkhan to engulf the Earth in eternal darkness.
   
At the shop, Uncle erects a spell to protect the shop from darkness. Tohru is confused, as he had memorized the legend. But Jade finds a convenient piece that they've accidentally flipped over. It says that the masks shouldn't all be brought into one location, which is why they were scattered across the Earth. But even worse, the darkness will eventually erode all good magics to nothing. Just then, someone knocks at the door, but it turns out to be Viper and El Toro. As they are filled in on the current events, Jackie begins to elaborate on the spell ingredients that originally defeated the Oni but Uncle whacks him, informing everyone that the spells were to only work on the masks, which are now destroyed. Their only hope is to defeat Tarakudo. Captain Black calls, having evacuated Section 13 and operating from a mobile unit. They had monitored the Oni, going in the directions of the compass, in pairs to spread the shadow shroud. [[The J-Team]] splits up, empowered by the Talismans, to take down the Oni. Jackie refuses to bring Jade along, as he would not live with himself if something happened to her. But she disregards orders, using the Rat to animate Super Moose. However, Tarakudo picks up their interference form Section 13 (which had its onion odour removed), and one by one, took down the J-Team and imprisoned them in Section 13.

At [[Uncle's Rare Finds|the shop]], Uncle conjures [[Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao|a spell]] to protect the shop from darkness. Tohru is confused, as he had memorized the legend, but Jade reveals a convenient piece that they've accidentally flipped over. It warns that the nine masks should never be conjoined in one location, which explains why they were originally scattered across the Earth. Regardless, the darkness has already taken hold and will eventually erode all good magic to nothing. Just then, the Chans hear a loud bashing on the door, but it turns out to be [[El Toro Fuerte|El Toro]] and [[Viper]]. As they are filled in on the current events, Jackie begins to elaborate on the spell ingredients that originally defeated the Oni, but Uncle whacks him, informing everyone that said spells would not work because the masks used to imprison them no longer exist. Uncle infers that in order to save the world from eternal darkness, they must find a way to defeat Tarakudo directly. Jackie suddenly receives a call from [[Captain Black]], operating from a mobile unit after having evacuated Section 13, informing Jackie that they have monitored the Oni, indicating that they are travelling in groups of two, each heading in the directions of the compass to further spread the shadow shroud. Empowered by the Talismans, the [[J-Team]] splits up to confront each pair. Jackie refuses to bring Jade along, explaining that he could not live with himself if something happened to her. As usual, Jade disregards her orders, using the [[Rat Talisman]] to animate [[Super Moose]]. Meanwhile, Ikazuki has seized control of Section 13 and, after lifting the onion barrier defending it from Tarakudo, is joined by his master. Ikazuki informs Tarakudo of their progress before the latter begins to pick up on the J-Team's interference. As the J-Team begin to gain the upper hand against their respective foes, Tarakudo shows up and swiftly defeats them one by one, imprisoning them all inside a cell within Section 13.

While trying to escape, Jade frustratingly throws the seemingly useless [[Hana Fuda Cards]] that she had previously kept in her bag across the cell, inadvertently revealing the existence of a tenth mask belonging to Tarakudo himself, who concealed the mask within [[Shadow Realm]]. Uncle explains that the Shadow Realm can only be accessed through the shadows by use of dark magic. Jade infers that by replicating the [[Mark of Tarakudo]] from the card onto one's self would endow them the ability to summon Shadowkhan, effectively allowing one to travel through shadow. Jade volunteers to become the Queen of the Shadowkhan again, but Jackie says no. Uncle instead volunteers Tohru, telling his apprentice that he must face his fears before proceeding to press the card against his arm until the Mark of Tarakudo is imprinted on him. Nervously, Tohru summons four members of the Ninja Shadowkhan tribe, telling them to take him to the Shadow Realm. Uncle provides Tohru with a lifeline, tying a magical thread (from one of Uncle's magic socks) to him so he can safely find his way back.
While trying to escape, Jade casually throws away the [[Hana Fuda]] cards she kept in her bag, which reveal the existence of Tarakudo's mask, which he hid in the Shadow Realm. The only way to get there is through the shadows and the usage of dark magic, by replicating the image of Tarakudo on someone. Jade volunteers to become [[Queen of the Shadowkhan]] again but Jackie says no. Uncle volunteers Tohru, telling him that he must face his fears and puts the image of Tarakudo on him. Nervously, Tohru tells ninja Shadowkhan to take him to the Shadow Realm, maintaining a way back to the living with Uncle's magic sock. He finds the mask but when he gets out, he has a quick transformation to evil and calls for Tarakudo, who answers his summons. Upon noticing the mask, Tarakudo attempts to destroy it, causing the J-Team to fall into the parking lot beneath. As they recover, Tarakudo calls upon Ikazuki to aid him, only for the Oni general to be tackled by both Viper and El Toro. Uncle shouts from atop a pipe that he needs the mask ingredient, hair of Japanese samurai. The only problem is that ancient Japan, is ancient history. Believing that Tohru may be a descendant, the J-Team gets a small bit of his hair and get it to Uncle. The moment he drops the hair into his potion, there is a blinding flash of light that affect Tarakudo, causing him to fall to the floor. As the smoke clears, it is revealed that the spell has granted Tarakudo a physical form, necessary for mask to stick to face. But even without his mental powers, he is an able fighter, who easily defeats the J-Team. He then goes over to Jackie, demanding his mask, only to find out that he doesn't have it; Jade does. She slaps it on his face, which causes the Oni and shadow shroud to be sucked within the mask, including the tattoo on Tohru. Tohru inquiries if their mission is really over, to which Uncle points out that if he doesn't have the willies, then there are no more masks.

Tohru successfully retrieves the mask, but upon re-emerging, he has quickly been consumed by the evil of the tattoo and immediately call for Tarakudo, who promptly answers his summons. Upon noticing the mask in their possession, Tarakudo attempts to destroy the J-Team along with the mask with a psychic blast, tearing a hole through the floor of the cell that causes them to drop down into the garage beneath. As they quickly recover and catch their bearings, Tarakudo calls upon Ikazuki to aid him, only for the Oni General to be tackled by both El Toro and Viper. Amidst the fighting, Uncle attempted to conjure the spell required to defeat Tarakudo, only to shout from atop a pipe that he is missing the key ingredient needed to complete it; hair of Japanese samurai. Tarakudo sneeringly remarks that ancient Japan is ancient history as the corrupted Tohru proceeds to attack the J-Team. Since Tohru is Japanese, Jade deduces that he may be a descendant of a samurai, and the J-Team subdue him long enough for Jade to claim a strand of his hair, eventually delivering it to Uncle. Upon applying the key ingredient to his potion, there is a blinding flash that affects Tarakudo, causing him to collapse to the floor in a puff of dark magic. As the smoke clears, it is revealed that the spell has granted Tarakudo a physical form, necessary for the mask to stick to his face. But even without his mental powers, he is an able fighter, who easily bests Jackie, knocking him out before proceeding to defeat both El Toro and Viper in a single strike. He then goes over to Jackie, demanding his mask, only to find out that he doesn't have it; Jade does. She slaps it onto his face, which proceeds to suck the shadow shroud, the nine Oni Generals, the Shadowkhan, Tohru's tattoo and Tarakudo himself within the mask. Having returned to his normal self, Tohru inquiries as to whether or not their quest is truly over, to which Uncle affirms that if he no longer has the willies, then their quest is indeed truly over.

Ninja Twilight is the eighty-second episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Synopsis

The final Oni Mask is located and brought back to Section 13. A hidden danger is uncovered, and all the Oni Generals are released, and the masks are destroyed. The J-Team's only hope of saving the world rests on defeating Tarakudo himself, once and for all.

Plot

Jackie and Jade, in a mini-sub, find the last Oni Mask at the bottom of the ocean, embedded onto the figurehead of a sunken ship. However, Jade is suspicious, as Tarakudo and his goons would usually have shown up to stop them, and expresses her disappointment at the absence of an "ultimate good vs. evil battle royale" over the final Oni Mask; Jackie, on the other hand, is relieved. However, as they make their way back to Section 13, their stream of bubbles reveals Tarakudo, smiling ominously.

At the vault, the mask is placed upon the wall amongst the other eight. With all nine masks successfully secured, the Chans affirm that their quest is complete. However, Tohru seems nervous and ultimately gets the willies as the masks proceed to glow before shattering into pieces, releasing the Oni Generals imprisoned from within. Led by Ikazuki, they leap at the Chans, but Jade uses the Dragon Talisman to repel them. As she gathers the rest, they escape whilst sealing the vault behind them, locking the Oni inside. Trapped, the Oni begin to summon one of each Shadowkhan to attack the Chans, including "the new guy" from the ninth and final tribe. Aided by the Talismans, the Chans are able to destroy their aggressors, but when a mantis-like member appears, they use the Snake Talisman to flee the compound. The Chans escape and emerge out onto the surface, only to come across a countless army of Shadowkhan from every tribe. The Chans prepare for a tough fight, but the warriors suddenly merge into a shadow shroud, covering everything in darkness. As Tohru recites, the combined power of the nine masks can summon enough Shadowkhan to engulf the Earth in eternal darkness.

At the shop, Uncle conjures a spell to protect the shop from darkness. Tohru is confused, as he had memorized the legend, but Jade reveals a convenient piece that they've accidentally flipped over. It warns that the nine masks should never be conjoined in one location, which explains why they were originally scattered across the Earth.
