Behold... the real Dragon Warrior!
—Ke-Pa, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness

Ke-Pa (pronounced "kee-PAH") is an ancient dragon demon and the main antagonist of the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Enter the Dragon", where he faced Po, Shifu, and the Furious Five.

Biography[]

Origins[]

Ke-Pa was the ruler of all the demons from the underworld. They ravaged all of China until a young Oogway defeated the demons and sealed them away. Oogway fought against Ke-Pa, but was overcome due to exhaustion. As Ke-Pa was just about to finish it, the power of the Sacred Peach Tree protected him and fended off Ke-Pa with the powers of Heaven and Earth, trapping him in the body of a mortal pig. Swearing vengeance, he fled.[2]

In Legends of Awesomeness[]

KePaMortal

Ke-Pa disguised as a mortal

Ke-Pa was in his mortal guise as an old pig, and retold his tale to buffalos and Croc Bandits in a tea house, who ended up laughing at his claim that he was the evil legendary demon. When the petals of the Peach Tree started to fall, Ke-Pa began to regain his powers and beat up the criminals. Ke-Pa then headed to the Valley of Peace.

Upon arriving, Ke-Pa encountered Po, the Dragon Warrior, who did not take the threat of the demon seriously in his pig form. However, this resulted in the panda receiving a beating from Ke-Pa, who afterward left to confront Shifu at the peach tree. He wasted no time, and unleashed his telekinetic powers upon the Jade Palace master. Po arrived and attempted to intervene, only to knock Ke-Pa into the tree, dislodging the final petal, signifying the end of the tree's life. Ke-Pa laughed maniacally as he fell off the hill's edge, only to rise, now transformed into his true dragon-like demon form.

Ke-Pa then assaulted the Jade Palace and destroyed it, finding the seal containing his demon brethren. However, he remembered the seal could not be opened without the power of the Hero's Chi, and Ke-Pa descended to the village to find the wielder. Shifu stepped forth and identified himself as the vessel of the Hero's Chi. As Ke-Pa held the red panda in his telekinetic grip, Shifu angrily sent Po away, rebuking him for failing to evacuate the village as he was told to. In truth, Po was the true wielder of the Hero's Chi, and was sent away to keep Ke-Pa from getting to him.

Ke-Pa soon enslaved the Valley of Peace, as well as enlisting the aid of Fung and his gang, to construct a massive funnel that would serve to crush Shifu and channel his chi to open the seal. But as soon as he started to constrict his body around the funnel, the Furious Five attacked, having been told by Shifu that Ke-Pa would be weakened by their efforts. But even they were no match for the demon, who distracted himself from the funnel. As he had the Five at his mercy, Ke-Pa spotted Po, who had returned to help his friends, and overheard Shifu informing the panda that he was the true vessel of the Hero's Chi.

Ke-Pa quickly threw Po into the funnel and was successfully able to channel his chi to release his demon brethren. As Ke-Pa rallied his army to destroy the world, Po became considerably weak afterward. However, Po made a comeback, his chi having been revitalized by a peach sapling. Again facing Ke-Pa, Po was able to re-imprison the demon's legion, but as the effort exhausted his chi, Ke-Pa took the opportunity to kill the panda. Po managed to recharge enough chi for one last blast as he unleashed it from his belly, saying "Skadoosh" and defeating Ke-Pa.

In The Paws of Destiny[]

Ke-Pa is referenced by Bunnidharma, who mentions that the last time he saw Oogway was when the master drove Ke-Pa away from the Valley of Peace.

Personality[]

Ke-Pa was arrogant and bitter of his defeat against Oogway in both forms; however, he additionally became destructive and tyrannical when he regained his demonic powers. His plans to wreak havoc and destroy the world shows that he is a vengeful, power-hungry being. He also shows no respect for mortals and will mock and toy with them, believing them to be powerless against his supernatural powers.[2]

Fighting style and abilities[]

Ke-Pa is easily the most powerful fighter in the show, with the possible exception of Po when powered by the Hero's Chi. He possesses great strength, dragon-like fangs and claws, and the ability to fly and breathe fire. He also has telekinetic powers in both his mortal and demon form, which he used to crush his foes and fling them around in a sadistic manner. He also possessed the ability to manipulate lightning.[2]

Relationships[]

His fellow demons[]

Ke-Pa was enraged when his demon hordes were sealed up in the underworld, and was set on freeing them. As their king, his orders were followed by his demon army without question.[2] He shows no care towards his fellow demons but only needs them to complete his work and let him watch in enjoyment. He was only angry when they were defeated because when Po trapped them in 1 second while it took him several days to release them, as all the work he did was for nothing.

Po[]

At first, Po meant nothing to Ke-Pa, who saw him as an unworthy foe. When Ke-Pa learned he was the true bearer of the Hero's Chi, Ke-Pa was shocked and ordered all his demons to destroy him. When Po finally sealed the demons back up, Ke-Pa was enraged, and attempted revenge by torturing him before killing him. In the end, he still underestimated the panda, calling him a "mortal" and a "worm" before Po defeated him with the Hero's Chi.[2]
