Shan Yu

Shan Yu is one of the many Disney Villains appearing in the Sora and Pretty Cure's Adventures series. He is the main antagonist of the 1998 Disney animated film, *Mulan*. Despite him appearing in Kingdom Hearts II, he isn’t a member of the Council of Villains. In the Sora and Pretty Cure’s Adventures series, Shan Yu will serve as one of the many members of the Council with the goal to seek to harness the power of the Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed and Nightmares to take control of Kingdom Hearts to rule all of the worlds home to Sora and numerous Disney characters.

## History

One of the Disney Villains on the king-killing path, Shan Yu is the leader of the huns from *Mulan*. Shan Yu for reasons that aren’t really that clear wants to invade and take over China. He’s a warlord and kills by the hundreds. Eventually, he and an ellite-band of hun warriors captured the Emperor and Shan Yu tries to murder him. It’s again unclear why he wants to take over China so badly, but the guy is happy to slaughter any man like Shang or any woman like Mulan in his way. For his indiscriminate destruction and murder, he’s definitely one of the most serious and destructive of the Disney villains.

## Powerfulness and Weaknesses

Shan Yu was the leader of the Hun army. So that alone makes him pretty high when it comes to power level. There is never a time in Mulan where we see his men doubt him or try to take over command. He commands loyalty, but also seems to have respect for his people. It was an almost brotherly banter as they discussed tactics and murder and because of their joined efforts, they nearly succeeded in taking over the palace. Shan Yu in addition to being a ruthless leader was also powerful as an individual. Not only willing to fight on his own, but genuinely loving every minute of it.

## Intelligence

Shan Yu was not only a strong leader for his people, but he was hard to take down. He was able to strategize to stay one step ahead for a good portion of Mulan. His goal was to reach the Emperor and intimidate the man in person, knowing that simply attacking army after army wouldn’t achieve all that he wanted. Shan Yu was a strong villain, but also a brilliant strategist and tactician. The guy gets credit for his wit on the battlefield.

## Arsenal

**The Sword of Shan Yu:** Shan Yu's mostly reliant on his sword which he uses in swordfights with enemies. Shan Yu's Sword (with the Falcon's Eye) is also one of the Wicked Nine in *Sofia the First* along with Maleficent's Staff, Jafar's Snake Staff, Ursula's Necklace, Queen Grimhilde's Crown and Heartbox, Mother Gothel's Sundrop Flower, Dr. Facilier's Hat, Lady Tremaine's Golden Key and Mor'du's Claw.

**The Falcon's Eye:** The Falcon's Eye is a magical jewel that Shan Yu keeps in the hilt of his sword. The Falcon's Eye (with Shan Yu's Sword) is also one of the Wicked Nine in *Sofia the First* along with Maleficent's Staff, Jafar's Snake Staff, Ursula's Necklace, Queen Grimhilde's Crown and Heartbox, Mother Gothel's Sundrop Flower, Dr. Facilier's Hat, Lady Tremaine's Golden Key and Mor'du's Claw. It is unknown what it's magcial abilities are in *Sofia the First* itself alone even before and after Prisma acquires it, but most likely in Shan Yu's hands he uses the jewel to boost his powers. Shan Yu uses the jewel to boost his strength, endurance and fighting skills, making him even tougher and stronger to overpower enemies and even lift numerous people at once (like Gaston, but even way stronger than him and however not even nearly enough to overpower Jafar's physical strength in his genie form), almost even the biggest and heaviest objects in any world and deliver powerful punches and kicks to his enemies. Shan Yu uses the Falcon's Eye to enhance his tracking and survival skills as well as his senses, making it easy for him to trackdown anything or anyone, giving him a magical heat aura to survive freezing cold temperatures and his senses to see, smell, feel and hear from a mile away and even grants him to be psychic. Shan Yu uses the Falcon's Eye by letting the magic go into his head to come up with his strategies and plans. Shan Yu also uses the jewel to turn himself invisible for stealth.
