Tohru Who? is the sixty-sixth episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Synopsis

Valmont uses a potion on Tohru that causes him to lose his memory. Valmont manages to convince his former henchman that he's still working for the Dark Hand, and that Jackie Chan is his nemesis. Jackie, Uncle and Jade must rescue their friend.

Plot

While Jackie, Jade, and Uncle are away, Tohru watches over the shop. A mysterious figure appears, and knocks Tohru unconscious with a certain object. When Tohru finally awakens, he does not remember where he is or even who he is. The stranger, who is revealed to be Valmont, convinces Tohru that he still works for the Dark Hand, and that Jackie Chan is his sworn nemesis. This essentially has the effect of reverting Tohru to his former personality, before he became allies with the Chans.

In the meantime, Jackie and the others return to the shop and discover that Tohru is missing. Concerned, they decide to track him down using a locator spell concocted by Uncle from an empty grape soda can (Tohru's favorite drink.) The spell points them to Sri Lanka.

While this was happening, Valmont and Tohru arrive at a monastery, where Valmont is posing as a disciple to Babur, a wise (yet somewhat naive) guru. He convinces Babur to tell him the location of the hidden Temple of the Golden Elephant, for unknown reasons. Guided by the locator spell, Jackie, Uncle and Jade arrive at the monastery and spot Tohru, who is attempting to sit in lotus position (as per Valmont's instructions.) When Jade and Uncle attempt to talk to him, he does not respond in the way they expect. Jade tries explaining to Jackie that Tohru no longer recognizes them, but Jackie reassures her that he does when Tohru calls out the name of his nemesis. Suddenly, Tohru throws a punch at Jackie, who is saved only by Jade pushing him out of the way. Eventually, Jade realizes that Tohru is acting the way he did before he switched sides.

Valmont successfully learns of the location of the Temple of the Golden Elephant and promptly uses the magical item to erase Babur's memories. He tries to escape from the commotion and is spotted by Jackie's group, who try to follow him. However, they are trapped in a cellar by Tohru, who blocks the door with a boulder. Uncle uses a rock “melting” spell and they escape. He then uses the grape soda can to track down Valmont.

When they reach the temple, they encounter a lake filled with boiling water. A stone step with a riddle appears, and Jade accidentally calls out the answer from their hiding place, allowing Valmont and Tohru to cross over the bridge which appears. Jackie tries to follow and almost falls into the lake as the stones suddenly sink beneath the steaming waters. When another stone appears for Jackie's group, the riddle is much more difficult. Uncle eventually solves it and they cross over as well.

Inside the temple, Valmont orders Tohru to lift the golden elephant statue which sits on a central pedestal. Uncle tells Tohru to stop, but he removes it anyway. Stone Sentinels which line the hallway come to life and attack everyone intruding in the temple. In the ensuing fight, Jackie protects Tohru from an attack and gradually he realizes that he feels that fighting with Jackie is the right thing to do. Even though he has not regained his memories, he again joins forces with Jackie. Uncle is able to formulate the spell which melts the stone statues into mud. Jade tries to steal Valmont’s memory eraser, which Uncle needs to reverse the effects of Tohru's memory loss. However, in the following struggle, Uncle's memories are erased and awakens thinking he is a goat.

After Jackie and Tohru defeat the statues, Valmont instructs Tohru to knock Jackie out, but Tohru refuses since Valmont showed disloyalty to him, affirming that his heart tells him that Jackie is his friend. Valmont tries to erase Tohru's memory again, but Jade kicks Valmont's device out of his hands, causing him to erase his own memory. By Jade's words, Valmont believes he is a performer in a ballet, and Jackie says he can dance himself all the way to prison. The only problem now is restoring Uncle's memory, so Jackie and Jade declare the gang must do research.
