Queen of All Oni/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The first thing Jade does as Queen is to effortlessly rebuke Daolon Wong's attempt to control her by having one of her Shadowkhan knock him out. Then she talks the Dark Hand -- even Hak Foo, who initially refuses -- into working for her.
  • Despite them taking him off guard and them having all the Talismans, Jackie still handles the Enforcers easily when he interrupts their raid on the Vault.
    • Credit should be given to Jade managing to break the Dog talisman with her teeth, after everything else Left tried failed.
  • Jackie and Tohru's joint Dynamic Entry into the hidden chamber in Shendu's palace containing Kaito's mask are mostly a CMOF, but it's still awesome when you consider that together, they temporarily disable Jade, and take Hak Foo out of the fight altogether. By accident.
    • During the fight with the mask-empowered Valmont, Big V gets one when he catches the much larger Tohru with his bare hands and tosses him across the room. And then Uncle gets one when he single-handedly keeps Valmont matched during the fight, until he needs to help Tohru make the removal potion.
    • Jade managing to turn the situation around to her favor by devouring Kaito's mask and absorbing his essence. Also counts as a Kick the Son of a Bitch moment; Kaito had it coming.
    • Likewise, Jade punishing Valmont for his betrayal by having him stripped naked and dumped in public. Then, while he's being arrested, she evacuates her lair before he can tell Section 13 where to find her.
  • Tohru scattering the masks in a museum display to hide the second mask's location, by launching a bench at the wall. Hak Foo gets a mention as well, since he doesn't flinch when the bench is thrown, even when it hits the wall right next to him.
    • Viper refuses Jade's "We Can Rule Together" offer by tossing an onion in her face, giving Jade the first taste of her new Weaksauce Weakness, and ending that particular fight right there.
    • Ratso -- temporarily possessed by his mask -- tosses Hak Foo across a room.
    • Uncle and Tohru going Back-to-Back Badasses against the Razor Khan (and this is actually carried over from canon).
  • Unfortunately an Offscreen Moment of Awesome, but Blankman taking out all the competition for the role of Jade's foreman in a fight in under two minutes is still amazing.
    • Ikazuki demonstrating why he's Tarakudo's Dragon, by effortlessly beating back Jade's Mooks and forcing her into submission.
    • Jade's quick Indy Ploy Batman Gambit to capture Tohru during the attack on Uncle's shop.
    • Tohru shooting down Ikazuki's Hannibal Lecture about the weakness of humans by pointing out that humans defeated the Oni once, and that even now they need humans to do anything.
    • Finn, of all people, demasking Ikazuki, since he prefers working for Jade.
    • Jade reverse-engineering Uncle's shadow transportation spell in a matter of minutes and using it teleport the heroes out of her lair.
  • Uncle's Batman Gambit on Daolon Wong, followed by him and Tohru countering Tarakudo's escape attempt.
    • Blankman intercepting an apparent doublecross on Verde's part and crushing his hand.
    • The Sages completely owning both the Shadow Hand and the J-Team in battle.
  • During Tohru's trip into Jade's mind, Hero making his first appearance by saving him from Mother. Flawless victory.
  • Jade convincing the Bat General to pledge his loyalty to her. May not seem big, but it's her first real step (after getting the Teachings) towards claiming the crown for herself.
  • Father refusing to join Hero against the Queen, while pointing out that Hero is shortsighted and impulsive, which is just as bad for Jade as the Queen's influence.
  • Operation Steel Lightning is actually very impressive, especially when one takes into account the fact that it almost succeeds, and is ultimately only stopped by Wisker's interference.
  • Left and Right attacking Lung's fortress to rescue Jade and mowing down his defenses. Right killing the bastard was just icing on the cake.
  • Drago and Blankman's fight. Mostly because we finally get to see the latter in action, but also for how he ends it by whipping out a shotgun and blasting Drago full of holes.
    • Drago's fights with Karasu, especially since both times Karasu knows he can't beat Drago in a straight up fight, so his goal is just to keep Drago busy until the heroes can show up to beat him themselves.
      • Karasu giving the heroes the slip when they capture him. He's bound in a sutra scroll, his free arm held by Tohru, and he's being escorted to a warded cell in Section 13. After they refuse his offer of alliance, he casually comments that they should uses better sutras, then rips out of the scroll, winds Tohru with a blow to the throat, and then dodges the others to escape via Tohru's shadow.
    • Hero continuing to taunt and defy the Queen even after being chained up in the brig, to the point that she's left visibly unsettled.
