| After burning down a village, Shan-Yu stands among the ruins with his falcon, Hayabusa. Later, [[Mushu]] tells [[Sora]], [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Mulan]] how he saw Shan-Yu enter a cave near the [[Village]]. As the party heads into the cave, they fall into a trap, and when they return outside, they witness how Shan-Yu had attacked and burned down the village. The party follows Shan-Yu to the mountain's summit, where Mulan uses fireworks to cause an avalanche, swallowing Shan-Yu and his army of [[Heartless]].
| | Shan-Yu appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' as the main antagonist of The Land of Dragons. Instead of Huns, he possesses an army of [[Heartless]] at his command. The story follows the movie for the most part, except the shadow of a Heartless has possessed him. |
| | |
| | Shan-Yu first appears at the beginning of the world with his falcon, Hayabusa. He had burned down a village and was standing in the ruins. He next is seen by [[Mushu]] walking into a cave outside the village they were in. [[Sora]], [[Fa Mulan]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]. However, it was in actuality a trap. While the heroes are trapped in the cave battling Heartless, Shan-Yu attacks the village, burning it, and turning everyone into Heartless except for Captain [[Li Shang]], [[Yao]], [[Ling]], and [[Chien Po]], who managed to survive. Once the party sees the destruction they charge to the summit of the mountain to encounter the Hun. Although he charged with a mass army of Heartless, Sora and company destroy most of them and Mulan's quick thinking sends Shan-Yu and the rest of the Heartless over the edge of a ridge in an avalanche. |
|
| |
|
| Mulan notices Shan-Yu had survived the avalanche, and is headed towards the imperial palace. As the party catches up with Captain [[Li Shang]] to warn him, his soldiers transform into Heartless. After taking care of them, the party finds Shan-Yu holding [[The Emperor]] hostage, but Li Shang knocks him back, and brings the Emperor to safery, leaving Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mulan to protect the palace doors and fight Shan-Yu, eventually defeating him.
| | After surviving the avalanche as in the movie, Shan-Yu attacks the Imperial Palace and distracts Sora with a group of Captain Shang's soldiers, who were actually Heartless. But he is defeated by [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Mulan]] in a climatic boss battle. After his defeat, the fate of him exactly is unknown, and Sora receives the [[Hidden Dragon]] [[Keyblade]]. |

| {{canon|width="70%"|In the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' manga, While Shan-Yu gains control of the Heartless and creates an army of them through the darkness in his heart, his army is made up of his compatriots. Through [[Xigbar]], he learns about the power of darkness and receives a fraction of it in exchange for his help. When he rushes at the mountaintop with his people to attack Sora and his friends, his soldiers transform into Heartless. After he frees himself from the snow caused by the avalanche, he summons the [[Storm Rider]]. When he is defeated and the Storm Rider is destroyed, he asks Xigbar to give him more power over the darkness, but is killed by him for his failure.}} | | ==In Battle== |

| ==Design== | | ==Trivia== |
| Shan-Yu is a large, muscular Hun with greyish skin, thick, black eyebrows, and a black {{w|Fu Manchu moustache|Fu Manchu mustache}}. His eyes peculiar colors; the irises are an eerie orange color and his sclera are black. The top of his head is bald, but the hair on the back of his head is quite long and black. He often wears a black hood with grey fur lining and what seem to be two raccoon tails dangling in the front. He wears grey pants and black, knee-high boots with grey soles and a vertical grey stripe up the front. Shan-Yu also wears a coat that is pale yellow on the left side and the front and black on the right side. It has tattered, brown lining and is kept closed by a brown belt. He wears a single black glove on his left hand, presumably for the same reasons {{w|Falconry training and technique|falconers}} use them
| | *{{nihongo|"Hayabusa"|隼}} is actually the Japanese word for "Peregine Falcon", indicating that Shan-Yu obtained him from Japan. |
|
| |
|
| Directly before fighting him, Shan-Yu is seen to glow with an eerie purple light.
| | * Shan-Yu is one of the five Disney villains in the series whose relations to the Heartless have nothing to do with Maleficent, the others being the [[Master Control Program]], [[Chernabog]] and [[Clayton]]. His situation is similar to the latter's, in that the Heartless are drawn to the darkness in his heart, and he uses his military expertise to command them. This also seems to reflect Clayton's activity in the first game, as he is probably considered too weak to be of any consequence by Maleficent. Indeed, the two have never been shown to meet. |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality==
| | * Directly before fighting him, he is seen to glow with an eerie purple light similar to the light that glows around Scar when the latter started becoming a Heartless. |
| Shan-Yu is a cold-hearted, cruel warrior, ruthless in battle. He cares for himself and his army only. He is aggressive, violent, and rather silent, having no more than five lines in his appearances. He cares greatly about causing chaos and depression. Like his people, Shan-Yu is trained in living off the Earth, possessing heightened senses and a saker falcon as his pet. He's rather cunning and manipulative, luring Sora and his friends into a trap so he can destroy the village without their aid with the others.
| | <!--Has the manga even been released that far? |
|
| |
|
| ==Abilities==
| | * In the manga, he was defeated by [[Sora]] and his gangs and killed by [[Xigbar]] using [[Sharpshooter]].--> |
| {{main|Game:Shan-Yu}}
| |
| Shan-Yu is a skilled swordsman who is both very strong and agile. Shan-Yu also has a great amount of endurance, being able to survive an avalanche. Like other Disney villains, he has the ability to control an army of Heartless and use [[darkness]] to power up his attacks.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Origin==
| | * His battle theme is Vim and Vigor, the same as Barbossa's, making them the only Disney villains in Kingdom Hearts II to not have The Encounter played when facing them. |
| {{Q|Your walls and armies have fallen. And now it's your turn. Bow to me.|Shan-Yu to the Emperor}}
| |
| Shan-Yu is the primary antagonist of ''Mulan'', with plans to invade China with his army of Huns. While he has very little screen time until the second half of the movie, he is still the catalyst for almost all the events. During his army, he and his army slay General Li ([[Li Shang]]'s father) and his men, devastating the nearby village. He attacks Mulan's party on the mountain but is defeated when Mulan causes an avalanche. In retaliation, he wounds Mulan with his sword before being buried underneath the snow, which leads to her exposure as a woman. Surviving the avalanche, he and his remaining men attack the Imperial Palace and take the Emperor hostage, but he is foiled once again by Mulan, Mushu, Shang, Yao, Ling and Chien-Po. Enraged, Shan-Yu corners Mulan on the roof of the palace, where they briefly fight until Mulan traps him long enough for Mushu to launch a firework directly at Shan-Yu, which rockets him straight into the firework tower, where he is killed in an ensuing explosion.
