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. While heading to the Imperial city, his falcon brings him a doll from a village. On the doll are pine dust from the high mountains, white horsehair from Imperial stallions, and the smell of sulfur from cannons, clues that the Imperial army is waiting for them at a mountain pass. Instead of avoiding the army, he and his men head in that direction, since the quickest way to the Emperor is through the pass. Upon arrival, he and his troops not only crush General Li's army at the mountain pass but also, in an act of fierce barbarity, raze the surrounding village to the ground, leaving no survivors. 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.

* 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.

* In the manga, his battle with [[Sora]] is very similar to his battle with Mulan in the film. The main difference is that Sora, who's furious with Shan-Yu for not being able to talk to [[Riku]], knocks him off the palace roof, and Shan-Yu is then shot in the head by [[Xigbar]].
