History Characters / JackieChanAdventuresTheChanClan

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first season, Jackie was easier to anger and more ready to act; while in all the following seasons, he's portrayed as the MartialPacifist NiceGuy he's known as.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: In ''A Jolly J-Team Xmas'', she had [[SantasExistenceClause stopped believing that Santa Claus exists]]. In the final season, she disbelieves in haunting ghosts and evil mirror spirits. In all those instances, she's proven wrong.

* Unsorceror: "The Shadow Eaters" confirms he's the only member of the cast, at least on this page, unable to use magic. Uncle's blowfish would not work for him, but it did for Jade.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: He knows about magic, Chinese demons, Santa Claus, and many other mythical things. But he initially refused to believe that Tarakudo is Japanese or that Oni exist. He also dismissed the importance of [[CardsOfPower Hana Fuda Cards]] and Miss Kimber's precognitions. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he doesn't believe in]] the Tooth Fairy.

* FutureBadass: Adult Jade became the leader of Section 13... at least until Future Captain Black got back and she was demoted.

* WeaponTwirling: In ''Warrior Incarnate'', Tohru does this [[FightingWithChucks with a nunchaku]] with surprising ease for someone of his size.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She becomes a barefooter when she is the Queen of the Shadowkhan.

* BalefulPolymorph: Turns herself into a monkey in the tenth episode of Season 1, ''The Jade Monkey''.

* HeroHarassesHelpers: No matter how many times Jade helps him out, he continues to view her messing things up, rarely congratulating her. And he [[WhatAnIdiot rejected the J-Team's help]] upon their first formation.

** "[[TakesOneToKillOne Magic must defeat magic!]]"

* InsufferableGenius: He's right about everything magical (mostly) and whenever he says "Magic must defeat magic".

-->''Bad day -- for ''demons''.''

-->''[[StealthHiBye Hi, Jackie!]]''

-->''Who else wants a piece of Uncle?''

-->''I hate fish.''

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's just known as Uncle to everybody (except Mamma Tohru who calls him [[EmbarrassingNickname "Billy Goat"]]).

-->'''Ratso''': No way he's human.

-->"Yes, I can see this is some very special garbage."

-->'''Chow''': Chan wouldn't hurt a kid. Not even mini-Valmont.

-->'''Shendu:''' "Hear this, my Queen; your first, and most valuable, lesson: always destroy your enemies."
-->'''Jackie:''' "Don't listen to him, Jade. He's a ''demon''. I'm your ''uncle'' -- your ''friend''!"
-->'''Jade:''' "T'ch, you were. But things are different now; I have new friends."

--> '''Jackie''': Maybe we should have brought Jade.

-->'''Jade''': ''(after Jackie accidentally causes their transport (a giant glider plane) to fly away)'' See? [[WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings This is why we can't buy you anything nice]].

-->'''Jade''': Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in. So can I-
-->'''Jackie and Black''': No. ''(drive off to fight the Talisman-powered Dark Hand)''
-->'''Jade''': ''(angry)'' Wouldn't even let me ask. ''(in realization)'' And if I didn't ask, how am I supposed to know what they said "no" to?

-->'''Jackie''': Jade, maybe you should go with Uncle.
-->'''Jade''': Aw! ''(walks off)''
-->'''Uncle''': ''(waves goodbye as his train departs)''
-->'''Jade''': I miss him already.
-->'''Jackie''': Jade! I told you to go with Uncle, not...stay...with...uncle...
-->'''Jade''': No wonder I got confused, too many uncles.

--> '''Shendu''': I ''will'' have my revenge. If it takes ''another'' 900 years!
--> '''[[TranquilFury Jade]]''': T'ch. No Rat means you're just a statue. And no Dog means, you're not immortal.

-->"She'd be such a cool aunt!"

-->'''Valmont''': So this is why your niece is always with you? And here I just thought you were horribly irresponsible.

-->'''Jade:''' "T'ch. When will he learn?"

--> "You are so young, yet speak with the wisdom of an elder."

'''Jade's Dad:''' He is actually our cousin...aren't you?\\
''(Jackie and Uncle give each other confused looks)''

--> '''Uncle''': ''(after Tohru snaps at him for ordering him around)'' You disrespect Uncle? Uncle took you in. Put roof over your head. Put food in your belly. ''Lots'' of food, and this is how you repay me?
--> '''Tohru''': I cook. I clean. I travel the world to be smothered in ''fish''. And you thank me by demanding (imitates Uncle) "many more things".

--> [[AnythingButThat "NOT THE STAIRS!"]]

* CuteGiant: She becomes a very, very, ''very'' cute giant in ''Little Valmont, Big Jade''. If normal sized Jade is like a puppy, giant sized Jade is like hundreds of puppies.

->'''Jade:''' Is Uncle ''everyone's'' uncle?\\

* AgeLift: He is younger than his real life counterpart, taking into account he was Jade's age in 1976. The real Jackie Chan was born in 1954, and would have been 22 years old in 1976.

* AgeLift: He is younger than his real life counterpart, taking into account he was Jade's age in 1976, while the real Jackie Chan was born in 1954.

Jackie's uncle and Jade's great-uncle... Supposedly. He runs an antique shop, and is also an expert wizard of chi magic. He's actually the cousin of (one of) her parents... [[LampshadeHanging they think]].

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Downplayed in that he is undoubtedly a Chan, even bringing Jackie and Jade on a trip to see the birthplace of the Chan family before it was submerged by water, but it is uncertain what his exact relation is to Jackie, Jade and her parents, with Jade's father saying he is actually their cousin, only to ask if he is. Uncle's response was that he'd have to get back to them on that. He is a Chan, that is the extent of our knowledge.
