"Tohru! Uncle has the willies! Dark Chi must be near." |
All four members of the Chan Clan experience the Willies at the same time.
The Willies is a recurring element in the Jackie Chan Adventures series that often occurs when a character senses impending danger, causing them to experience a sudden (often overwhelming) clammy sensation of uneasiness.
Uncle[]
Uncle often has the Willies in relation to Daolon Wong.
This first happens when Wong prepares to attack Tohru when it's believed he is the Chosen One. Uncle is awoken from his sleep and informs Tohru that he has the Willies due to the presence of dark chi. Uncle also gets the Willies when he senses Daolon Wong hiding among the Three Monkey Statues, hiding among the woods, and when he comes after them for the Noble Yak.
In Season 4, Uncle even experienced the Willies when he realized he didn't have the keys to his shop.
Tohru[]
It appears several times in Season 4. Tohru mainly experiences it in relation to the Oni. It could come as a warning sign that Tarakudo was in the same room, spying on them. This was one of the factors that convinced Uncle that Tohru should take his place in the fight against Tarakudo and that it'd be better if he returned to San Francisco. However, Uncle changed his mind when he experienced the Willies himself, which made him realize that he didn't have the keys to his shop. Uncle even uses Tohru's Willies to conclude that there are no more Oni Masks.
Tarakudo[]
In an ironic twist, Tarakudo himself has the Willies when he thinks that he's successfully seizing the world, letting him know that the Chans are up to something to stop him.
