** BiggerBad: The Phantom, The Queen and Tarakudo.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Wong has finally gotten wise to this, due to him taking a few levels in GenreSavvy, as he warns the Phantom not to betray him.

* ClingyMacGuffin: Wong creates a belt that makes the Talismans inserted into it this, as only he can remove them once they're in the slots, with the belt itself being bound to him, as part of him taking a few levels in GenreSavvy.

* GenreSavvy: Jade shows she's still this when she divides up the Talismans (see ComboPlatterPowers).

Now with a [[Characters/ShadowsAwakening Character Page]] that NeedsWikiMagicLove

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: Kyosuke/The Phantom uses the combined power of the Dark Treasures to resurrect himself.]]

After [[BigBad Daolon Wong]] escapes prison, he finds an artifact that uses to restore his lost powers, but said artifact also partially reawakens Jade's SuperPoweredEvilSide, the [[EnemyWithin Queen of the Shadowkhan]], granting her many magical and superhuman abilites. While Jade still retains her mind, it will be only a matter of time before she's corrupted by the Queen's influence. Now the Chans must recover the very same artifact if they want to return her back to normal, which is in Wong's hands. Meanwhile, Wong will seek to uncover the power of the Shadowkhan for his own goals.

Description: Jade finds herself as the wielder of a great power, but said power comes with a price. Her only hope to return back to human before having to pay the ultimate price lies in one of her family's worst enemies, who plans to unleash an unspekable horror into the world.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: While he hasn't reached this level quite yet, Wong is finally learning from his past defeats.
** See ClingyMacGuffin for one example of this.
** Another example is when he considers [[MacGuffinDeliveryService letting the heroes gather the Dark Treasures]] so that he can steal them all from Section 13 in one fell swoop.
** The Queen quickly shows herself to be this [[spoiler: one she gets free of Jade]].

* FragileSpeedster: Viper, Jade decides she should get the Ox Talisman to avert it.

* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: The Queen's]] invasion of San Francisco by opening multiple portals at several points of the city. If the heroes decide to keep closing the portals, Jackie is left alone against an enemy he certainly cannot defeat; if the heroes remain with Jackie, then nobody will close the portals and San Francisco will be flooded with Shadowkhan.

** The Queen quickly shows herself to be this [[spoiler: gets free of Jade]].

* ExactWords: The gates of the Forge of Shadows are indestructible. But as Captain Black proves via explosives, the ''walls'' aren't. Kyosuke admits this was on oversight.

* SequelHook: The epilogue involves Captain Black recruiting the J-Team to head a new subdivision within Section 13 dedicated to magical threats, Tohru becomes a full chi wizard and takes on Jade as an apprentice, and in the last scene, [[spoiler: Daolon Wong's apprentice emerges to take control of his resources, and the BigBad mantle]].

* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: The Queen's]] invasion of San Francisco by opening multiple portals at several points of the city. If the heroes decide to keep closing the portals, Jackie is left alone against an enemy he certainly cannot defeat; if the heroes remain with Jackie, then nobody will close the portals and San Francisco will be flooded with Shadowkhan.

* DemotedToExtra: Tarakudo and the Oni generals. While they were an integral part of the plot of Season 4, here they only have very small appearances, with Only Tarakudo and the Ninja General having significant (but still small) parts in the story.

* EleventhHourSuperPower: Uncle creates a chi sword for Jackie (which works similarly to Daolon Wong's Dark Chi Warriors' weapons) the next chapter, Viper also gets a chi spear.

* ThePowerOfHate: It was Kyosake's rage at Tarakudo's betrayal that allowed his spirit to linger on as the Phantom when his body died.

* WouldHitAGirl: Ironfist outright states that he has no problem beating girls to death.

* BaitAndSwitch: A meta example. When the Phantom sends Wong to retrieve the first Oni mask, it looks like the story will turn into another alternate take on Season 4... until the Phantom forbids Wong to go after the other masks (as that would only aid their enemy Tarakudo), sending him on a different quest. WordOfGod is that this is in fact the only similarity to canon that will happen, as the story will focus on a different set of {{MacGuffin}}s.

** Wong and his Wizard-khan get a dose of this themselves when Jade creates her MageKiller [[AmazonBrigade Kunoichi-khan]].

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The seemingly useless Tiger Talisman is what prevents Jade from turning completely evil.

** Also, she can only summon 5 kunoichi-khan at a time with the Tiger Talisman on.

* OurGeniesAreDifferent: The Unseen Enclave is protected by an ifreet (a fire genie).

** [[spoiler: Eventually, her corruption reaches the point that the talisman separates them, freeing her from Jade.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to WordOfGod, the author scrapped his idea of having Shendu be a secondary antagonist after his beta reader pointed out that Shendu needed ALL his Talismans to undo the stone curse, not just the Rat (though he only needs the Rat after that).

* TheHeavy: Wong is the central member of the BigBadEnsemble, being the one who set the plot in motion and still drives it, while the others manipulate from the sidelines.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Hasn't turn evil yet, but when Jade turns Shadowkhan, her negative traits become more prominent.

** Wong also becomes a Shadowkhan in his MidSeasonUpgrade.

** The Sword’s energy attack seems suspicially similar to Ichigo Kurosaki’s Getsuga Tensho from ''Anime/{{Bleach}}''

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The seemingly useless Tiger talisman is what prevents Jade from turning completely evil.
** Also, Uncle uses the astral projection powers of the Sheep Talisman to wake Tohru from his coma.

** Ten chapters later, [[spoiler: after Kyosuke/ThePhantom sneaks in and uses the Dark Treasures to revive himself, he unleashes his Ghost Khan, possessing half the agents and turning them on the others]].

** The Unseen Enclave, where Solomon's Archive is located, is guarded by an ifreet.

** The Sword’s energy attack seems suspicially similar to Ichigo Kurosaki’s Getsuga Tensho from ‘’Anime/{{Bleach}}’’

* StartOfDarkness: Chapter 11 details the Phantom's origins -- he was once a samurai named Kyosuke, who was the protege of the Emperor's High Shogun, but who grew unhappy with the fact that the Emperor is only ruler because of the supposed divine right of his ancestors. Because of this, when he was sent to infiltrate the Brotherhood of Shadows (the dark wizards who created the Shadowkhan), they were able to convince him to join them, becoming their leader, the Dark Champion. He then led them on a conquest of Japan, until he was abandoned by Tarakudo, and struck down by his former master. With his dying breaths, his [[ThePowerOfHatred rage]] at Tarakudo's betrayal transformed him into the Phantom.

* ArtifactOfDoom: The Dark Treasures -- formerly the Imperial Regalia of Japan -- were corrupted into this by the Dark Champion of the Shadowkhan long ago. In addition to the fact that combined they can open the Forge of Shadows (the place where the Shadowkhan were originally created), they also have [[TheCorruption corrupting]] influences of their own; at the very least, the Kusanagi sword can possess the person using it and turn them into a berserker.

* LotusEaterMachine: [[ArtifactOfDoom The Mirror of Despair]] traps Tohru in one, a possible BadFuture where Jade had a FaceHeelTurn after defeating Wong and killed Jackie, Uncle and Viper, and then took over the world.

* BadFuture: The Mirror of Despair traps [[spoiler: Tohru]] in a vision of one of these -- the heroes managed to defeat Wong, only for the Queen to take control of Jade, and use the Shadowkhan to kill the other heroes and take over the world. San Francisco is shown to be in ruins, with the humans there being emotionally broken down slaves.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Jade's Shadwokhan are excellent {{Mage Killer}}s, but suck against everything that's not a mage.

* EvilWeapon: The corrupted Sword of Kusanagi. See DemonicPossession above.

** Jade's Kunoichi-Khan as well. They're fast and hit hard, but will do poorly against a powerhouse.

** Jade's Kunoichi-Khan as well, which is a good thing given that many of her enemies (Daolon Wong, Tempest, the Wizard-Khan) are mages.

* TomeOfEldritchLore: The Demon Archive, as shown in canon. Here, it's revealed that it used to belong to Wong before [[NoodleIncident somehow]] losing it. Wong uses the Ring of Kur-Asan to retrieve it, even though it was destroyed in canon (apparently that doesn't matter to the Ring).

* WeatherManipulation: Tempest, the third of Wong's new warriors, has this as his primary power set.
