Who is tai lung in kung fu panda

This is put forth through the scroll as well as the secret ingredient soup. From this I think we can figure that the Wushi finger hold is not really a secret.

Also, from the way Master Shifu uses it to induce fear in Po, it seems like a mostly psychological technique. If you follow the fight between Po and Tai Lung, you could see that it is mostly Tai-Lung destroying himself with his own energy. Po merely throws back Tai-Lung's energy. What the Wushi finger hold does is create fear in an already agitated Tai Lung who says that you are just a panda, you can't defeat me. This fear coupled with the fact that Tai-Lung really "believes" in the existence of the Wushi finger hold, create in Tai-Lung a very strong belief that Po can destroy him if that finger moves.

The actual move is just a trigger I suppose for Tai-Lung to give his own body the command for self destruction. The skadoosh is probably to denote psychological destruction of the enemy. Obviously, this is still an animated movie and the actual skadoosh was not shown, so we are all merely making interpretations. The issue I have with this isn't so much with the question but rather the answers.

At the time of asking, any of the above could have been true. However, that doesn't mean that they are sub-sequentially killed.

We have only ever been told that Tai Lung had been "skadooshed" because it could only be implied that he is dead. However, with this knowledge now available to us, it is possible that Tai Lung is not in fact dead. Just wandering in the spirit realm after Kai drained his chi. So, there isn't really a correct answer to give on this topic. Everything comes down to interpretation and implications. From Kung Fu Panda 3, we learn that Tai Lung has been sent to the spirit realm where he was not able to escape.

Our battle will be legendary! Shifu : Obeying your master is not weakness! You always knew! But when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do? What did you do? Shifu : You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not my fault! Tai Lung : Not your fault? Who filled my head with dreams? Who drove me to train until my bones cracked? Who denied me my destiny? Shifu : It was never my decision to make! Give me the Scroll! Shifu : I would rather die! Tai Lung : Shifu taught you well. Tai Lung : But he didn't teach you everything.

Fly back there and tell them Tigress : How do you know you're not looking at her? Tai Lung : [Laughs] You think I'm a fool? I know you're not the Dragon Warrior—none of you! I heard how he fell out of the sky on a ball of fire. That he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen. Monkey : Po? Tai Lung : So that is his name, Po.

A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary! Shifu : This is no longer your home, and I am no longer your master. Tai Lung : Oh yes, you have a new favorite. So where is this, Po? Did I scare him off? Shifu : This battle is between you and me. Tai Lung : So, that is how it's going to be? Shifu : That is how it must be. Shifu : Obeying your master is not weakness! You always knew. But, when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do?

What did you do?! Shifu : You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not my fault! Shifu : It was never my decision to make! Tai Lung : It is now. After breaking out of prison, he sought to claim the Dragon Scroll and take his place as the Dragon Warrior once again. However, despite being a warrior of great skill, strength, and determination, Tai Lung finally met his match when he was defeated by Po , the true Dragon Warrior.

Infant Tai Lung being discovered by Shifu. Tai Lung was found by Shifu as an infant cub, wrapped in purple swaddling cloth and left at the threshold of the palace gates. Moved with compassion, Shifu decided to adopt the cub and raise him as his own, bestowing on him the name "Tai Lung" meaning "Great Dragon" [11] in the hopes that he would become the Dragon Warrior.

As a child, Tai Lung showed a natural talent in the art of kung fu , and it became apparent that the cub was a prodigy. Shifu lovingly trained him, becoming even more convinced that this was a sign that Tai Lung was the Dragon Warrior foretold of in legend.

Over time, Tai Lung became proud and overly confident in his abilities, having mastered Leopard Style kung fu and advanced techniques such as nerve attacks , as well as all one-thousand scrolls of kung fu. Despite all his accomplishments, Tai Lung still sought the power of the Dragon Scroll and firmly believed he was the Dragon Warrior. It was this overwhelming pride and lust for power that alerted Oogway of the darkness in Tai Lung's heart.

He refused him the title, surprising and disappointing both Shifu and Tai Lung, and Tai Lung looked to his master and father-figure for support, only to be further dismayed when Shifu did nothing to object to Oogway's decision. Tai Lung rampaging through the Valley. Confused and outraged, Tai Lung laid waste to the Valley , cutting a swath of destruction in his fury before charging back to the Jade Palace to try and take the Dragon Scroll by force.

Shifu charged to stop the snow leopard with a direct attack, but hesitated, unwilling to strike a lethal blow to the one he still considered his son. Still furious that Shifu had let Oogway's decision stand, Tai Lung did not hesitate to knock Shifu aside, shattering his hip before he leaped for the scroll. He was halted in midair by Oogway, who jabbed multiple pressure points in Tai Lung's chest, blocking his chi and knocking him out as Shifu watched in horror as the warrior he'd raised and trained fell before him.

Tai Lung after having his chi blocked by Oogway. There was nothing else to do but prevent such devastation from happening again. Shifu bowed to Oogway's wishes and helped oversee the construction of the ominously impressive Chorh-Gom Prison , located in the frigid outskirts of Mongolia. Carved right out of the mountain, the prison was made especially for Tai Lung—filled with many walkways and traps, with only one way in and out for the entire prison.

In the deepest part of the prison, Tai Lung was chained and fitted with a restraining tortoise shell , with various acupuncture needles in crucial places along his back, keeping his chi blocked, interfering with his breathing to the minimum and making him almost fully immobile.

Leaving him under the supervision of Commander Vachir and the Anvil of Heaven , Shifu and Oogway parted ways from Tai Lung, leaving him in prison as punishment for his crimes against the citizens of the Valley of Peace. Tai Lung awakening in Chorh-Gom Prison. Twenty years later, Tai Lung's rage had only intensified. One fateful day, a messenger goose named Zeng arrived at Chorh-Gom Prison , carrying a message from Shifu to Commander Vachir : Orders to double the guards and tighten security due to a vision Oogway had of Tai Lung returning to the Valley of Peace.

Commander Vachir only boasted he had everything under control and that escape from Chorh-Gom was impossible. He showed off how the mighty snow leopard was "completely immobilized," going so far as to stomp on Tai Lung's tail and tease him with the information that Oogway was going to finally choose the Dragon Warrior and that it would not be Tai Lung.

The cocky Rhino Commander stepped on his tail to add salt to injury and all Tai Lung could do was be still. Leaving him, Vachir and Zeng were unaware of the molted feathers knocked loose from Zeng when Vachir had slapped him on the back and, once they had left, Tai Lung quietly swept up one feather with his unrestrained tail to pick the intricate lock and free himself from his restraints.

Tai Lung breaking out of prison. With the needles gone, Tai Lung moved and efficiently breathed for the first time in two decades and broke the tortoise shell.

Once freed, Tai Lung was quickly spotted by the Anvil of Heaven , who scrambled to contain him with everything they had. The eight-point acupressure cuffs attached to the boulders still rendered his arms limited, until he managed to use on of the cross bow arrows to destroy once of them.

He then simply cracked the other and parried and reshot another arrow. Realising he could use them to reach the elevator, Tai Lung threw and kicked four arrows onto the mountain wall and used to fifth to leap onto them. By swinging from one to another, he managed to grab onto the elevator an inch before hundreds of arrows descended. Using it he got higher and used the chain to repel onto the higher floors.

Driven by his insatiable fury, Tai Lung unleashed his kung fu mastery and proceeded to brutally decimate the guards as he quickly made his way up the levels, overpowering the rhinos both in strength, agility and skill. The battle was climaxing in a standoff at the bridge at the door level. In a last attempt to outsmart Tai Lung, Vachir ordered the bridge to be destroyed by setting off explosives attached to the roof of the prison, making falling chunks of rock the size of boulders smash into the walkway Tai Lung was standing on.

Thinking quickly, Tai Lung rapidly leaped from rock to falling rock, finally reaching the last bundle of explosives that had yet to be set off—and tossed it among the guards as it exploded, blasting open the heavy doors and finishing off Commander Vachir and the remaining guards.

Grabbing Zeng by the neck outside, Tai Lung politely told him to fly back to the Jade Palace with a message of his own: "The real Dragon Warrior is coming home. Tai Lung fighting Tigress at the Thread of Hope. Traveling across China at top speed, Tai Lung came to the Thread of Hope , a rope bridge that served as the only passage through the mountains. There, he was confronted by the Furious Five , whom he knew to be Shifu's students and who had left to stop Tai Lung on their own after hearing of his escape.

After a brief attack in which he was deflected by Tigress , the bridge was cut and then held by the rest of the Furious Five as Tai Lung casually demanded to know where the Dragon Warrior was and laughed as an unbalanced Tigress reposed and implied that it was her. Tai Lung had heard rumors of the Dragon Warrior's appearance that he "fell from the sky on a ball of fire" and was "a warrior, unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Tai Lung fighting the other members of the Furious Five. This provoked Tigress, who took him on, however, as the fight progressed she began to struggle against her more experienced predecessor, especially once Tai Lung utilised his superior strength, balance and speed to kick her through half of the wooden bridge and then twist the ropes around the her neck, effectively strangling her.

Soon Tigress was rescued by Crane and joined by other members of the Furious Five until only Mantis was left to support the bridge. The Five then wrapped him in rope from the remains of the rest of the bridge and with the aid of Crane, Tigress pushed the subdued enemy and left to fall to the mist below.

However, the Furious Five's victory was short-lived as Tai Lung managed to use what was left of the now-destroyed rope bridge to seamlessly swing up and break free, landing behind the startled team.

He complimented them on what they had learned from Shifu, fairly amazed by their efforts, but stated he did not teach them everything and proved that their attempt was futile. The snow leopard utilized his nerve attack technique, blocking everyone's chi except for Crane , who was left to transport the other four back to the Jade Palace as a warning: Tai Lung could defeat the five strongest warriors in the land and anyone else who might oppose him, including "Po".

Tai Lung battling Shifu. By the time Tai Lung finally arrived at the Jade Palace, the whole Valley had been evacuated on Shifu's orders, leaving only the master himself to confront Tai Lung at the palace steps. Tai Lung told Shifu he has come home and respectfully calls him "Master. Tai Lung asks Shifu where Po is and if he scared him off. Shifu challenges Tai Lung to a battle; when he asks if that is how it is going to be, Shifu retorts that that is how it must be as he prepares to engage in battle.

Enraged, Tai Lung leaped into the air and cracked the Jade Palace steps and then lifted a giant rock and kicked it against Shifu. He used this as a mere distraction and as Shifu cracked the boulder with an elegant move, Tai Lung puched his enemy through the Palace doors.

Finally unleashing the wounded pride felt at his original "rejection", Tai Lung verbalized his contempt and anger for how his master did "nothing" when he was denied his "destiny".

The red panda retorted that he merely obeyed his own master and that it wasn't his fault that his student wasn't the Dragon Warrior. This only angered Tai Lung further, as he kicked and threw several objects which the elder kung fu master blocked with ease.

Now that Oogway was dead, Shifu and his failed student were the strongest masters of Kung fu and battled each other at even terms for most of the duel. He then reached the alter of Oogway and studied his staff, well aware of his recent passing.
