## Biography

### **Duck Duck Goose**

Banzou is first seen in the trees, spying on Chao and Chi. He waits until night to try a catch them. When the two ducklings attempt to escape the pipe, he Spitsbergen them and pursues them as they run away. During the chase, he runs into Peng. Though his less villainous side of his personality is at first scared of Peng, his more malicious side of his personality does not hesitate to attack him. However, Peng is able to fly, and Banzou falls into the lake, and is swallowed by a fish.

However, he ermerges out of the lake, spitting out the bones of the fish that swallowed him. He interrogates Larry the turtle, to find out where Peng is in order to get revenge. After a few seconds, he gets out of Larry that Peng cannot fly at the moment, and is walking with the the two ducklings, Chao and Chi, then sets off after them.

Much later, in a thunderstorm at night, he follows their path to terraces where rice is grown. His more malicious half states that the atmosphere is “positively electric.” This jinxes Banzou when a bolt of lighting strikes him.

Nonetheless, he appears at a chicken coop that Peng, Chao, and chi stayed in during the storm. The three already left, but he interrogated the chickens there, threatening to eat one of the eggs, until the rooster Stanley tells him the direction that they went.

It is not long after that he chases them across a dirt road, with them in a car with a trunk fullname of pigs. The goose and the two ducklings are able to give him the slip when some of the pigs fall out of the truck land on Banzou.

When Peng and Chi find Chao in a cave, Banzou once again encounters them, when his shadow is cast on the cave wall. He chases them through the cave, but they find the exit, and rocks fall on Banzou. A little later, he almost emerges, but the rocks give way, and fall on him again.

Banzou’s final encounter occurs when he catches Chao and Chi in a Chinese town. When Peng goes to find them, he finds Banzou in an alley holding both of them in his two paws. Fighting off Banzou, Peng gets them away, but near a frozen lake, Banzou gets the upper hand (or paw) and falls in but then he breaks through the ice, and pulls Peng under. Luckily, Chao and Chi rescue Peng. Banzou then comes out of the water, shivering from the cold. Peng asks Banzou why he will not leave them alone, and Banzou tells them that it isn’t because he finds birds arrogant and cowardly. When his malicious side says that they will go out with a whimper, Chao and Chi tie his tail to some Fireworks, telling him that he will go out with a bang and lights the fireworks. Banzou yells no repeatedly before he rockets into the sky with both eyes open. He flies off, and the fireworks’ explosion forms his face.

## Trivia

## References

Banzou's death is similar to that of Shan Yu in Mulan. This is coincidental as both films are set in China.
