"Blessed Egg" Is the first episode from season one of Kung Fu Panda Origins - Oogway's Journey.
== Plot ==
=== Synopsis ===
As he stands on the Sacred Peach Tree Hill, knowing his end is near, Oogway reminisces about a distant past, on the day when a single egg was laid by the village's elders, and how the occupant of said egg already went through a lot in life before even breaking the shell.
=== Summary ===
The scene opens with Po landing on his back after falling down the stairs from being kicked by Shifu. The panda seems dizzy, but he quickly recovers and starts climbing the stairs, albeit struggling from pain. Watching from a rock above, was Oogway, who had a calm smile on his face, speaking to himself as the Dragon Warrior reminds him so much of "her". That is when Oogway notices something happening to his arm, as he sees red and golden veins glowing in it. He knows this means the time is coming. With this in mind, he walks to the Peach Tree hill, while having a mental monologue, speaking of how long his life was, and how his journey brought him to this point. He stands by the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes as he dives into his own memory.
The animation style then changes from the 3-D CGI to the 2-D style it will have for most of the series. The scene now shows a distant past, where a village in an island away from the continent is inhabited by all manners of semi-aquatic asiatic animals. Among them is the leader, a turtle named Chinbo, who is having a meeting with a few of the elders of the village about some important subjects. Suddenly, an otter comes in frantically, and he has to be calmed down before telling to the leader that his wife has just laid an egg. This surprises him, who goes home to see his wife Quri, and finds her placing the egg in an improvised nest before hugging and kissing her. They are congratulated by the entire village, some of them surprised that they could have an egg at such advanced ages, so much that some say it is a miracle.
Outside of the hut, there is a red bat who is watching it all, and he quickly goes to a nearby village by the edge, where a bunch of pirates is discussing plans to make up for "the last fiasco". When they hear about the egg, they are thinking that maybe they can use it in their favor to try and extort money from the old couple. On that night, they sneak into the house and snatch the egg from its nest, waking up Chinbo and Quri in the process, but they manage to escape, whileChinbo quickly mobilizes the village to try and retrieve the stolen egg.
After they escape, the wolves, being commanded by their leader, the crocodile Tan Jan, are said that they will hold the egg hostage until the two old turtles have agreed to pay for to have ti back. He puts Zhing and Zhang, the wolf twins, to watch over the egg. However, as they do, they allow themselves to get distracted and, with motions of the occupant, the egg rolls away and downhill. The two of them try to chase after the egg, but it keeps changing directions and rolling away with movements of the occupant. Finally, the egg rolls off a cliff, and the two of them lose it from sight on the waves below. They start blaming each other for losing the egg, and discuss what they will be saying to Tan Jan when he asks where the egg is.
The egg, however, did not got lost on the sea. Instead, it landed on the back of an petrel who was coming back from the sea to her own nest, and she looks at it once she lands. She realizes it is a lost egg and, thinking some heartless mother tried to throw it away, decides to raise it as one of her own. Her hatchlings, however, do not like the idea of a new sibling, and they push the egg off their nest while their mother is distracted. The egg rolls and nearly drops from another cliff, when it is stopped and made to change directions by the movements of the hathcling inside. The egg rolls and rolls. Meanwhile, Chinbo is receiving a letter from the pirates and, wanting nothig more than to see his child safe, agrees to pay.
Later, Chinbo is having a meeting with Tan Jan and his pirates, and they are ready to take all of the villages' gold with them. However, as Chinbo asks to see the egg first, the wolves try to come up with excuses, before presenting a pebble. Outraged, Chinbo demands to see his egg, and Tan Jan soon starts to demand the same from the wolves, who are about to explain the egg fell into the ocean, when suddenly a bunch of stones comes rolling down, caused by the egg itself. The pirates run for their lives, while Chinbo, seeing his egg, jumps on its rescue, managing to get it safely into his hands, but seeing the shell cracked. Chinbo cries, thinking his child was lost, but then the egg moves and hatches into a perfect little baby turtle who smiles up at his father. With tears of joy on his eyes, Chinbo tells his new son that he truly is blessed, and names him Oogway.

== Trivia ==
* The summary of the first episode was released online alongside images and videos. While it was officially announced that it happened by mistake, some fans defend that this was done as a publicity stunt to generate hype for the series.
* The change from from CGI to traditional 2-D animation, according to producer team, is to reflect how nearly all the series is a flashback Oogway is having as he remembers his own story.
* The species of animals showed on this episode, such as Chinbo and Quri, and such as Yuraq, are species endemic to the Gallapagos Islands. Also, their names are Quechan names. The production of the series confirmed that this is to better reflect the fact that Oogway, as a Galápagos Tortoise, wold be native to the Gallapagos.
