"...Long, long ago...in the very formation of China itself: there were beings-beings who could breathe fire, who could harness their inner Chi and allow them to fly high above within the skies, these beings were known, as Dragons...they were the very 1st of many that would come to live in China and they were said to be the original practitioners of the art that would become known, as Kung Fu...amongst them, there was a warrior, unparalleled in his Kung Fu fighting skill, his Chi was so powerful that it was able to sunder mountains and divide oceans...upon facing naught but an army of over 10,000, it was then that his true style of Kung Fu was shown and he became so fierce that not even the heavens could stop his rampage, however, through his rampage, peace was brought to China after so very many long, long years of strife and turmoil amongst all of its differing clans and species and thus this warrior was given a title, one that would be remembered throughout the ages to come, this title went by the name of: the Dragon Warrior...after bringing peace to all of China with the land now being dubbed the Valley of Peace, the Dragon Warrior, along with all other Dragons had vanished from the mortal realm, leaving nothing behind except ancient scrolls of wisdom on Kung Fu that would become forgotten for ancient ages in the following 1000 years, only to be discovered and Kung Fu revitalized by the Tortoise Master Oogway and the art of Chi remastered by the species of Pandas, now...in the recent times that Kung Fu has developed, a new Dragon Warrior from amongst the Pandas has arisen, along with his family, masters, friends and comrades...he bested very many and very dangerous foes time and time again: masters of physical attributes, masters of keen intellect, even masters of the spiritual realm...BUT, has he ever faced a master...of emotion? join us: in this new adventure of the new Dragon Warrior, as he now faces trials of emotion, of both the past...and the present, let us welcome...the all brand new fourth epic chapter of the Dragon Warrior Po! the legendary Kung Fu Panda!".

Dang, this is quite the neat synopsis! I love the Kung Fu Panda franchise, and your description of a potential fourth film really fits in perfectly with the lore of the franchise, and paves the way for a new adventure for Po! 

 

And actually, it had been said that three more movies were expected to be made to round out the Kung Fu Panda franchise, so there is hope yet!

I dig the idea. Emotions hasn't been tackled in the movies.

And it's definitely an interesting thematic that a potential Kung Fu Panda IV could explore!

Well for physical we had Tai Lung, for mental we had Shen and for spiritual we had Kai, the villain for this film is meant to be emotional but in a unique way, in the sense that i mean, its that he is not only Po's foe...but also Tigress'.

Wait, what!? Tigress!? Holy crud, that's a massive plot twist!

 

Edit: Oh wait, I get what you mean! When it comes to Tigress, you mean the emotions Po feels for her, and her for him! Ooh, you're right, I'd like for that aspect to be explored!

 

Edit Again: Oh, no wait, now I really understand. You mean to say emotion is something difficult for both Po and Tigress to tackle, and that they would have to deal with this particular emotion together!

Something like all of that but you see, the film will explore Tigress' past before she was found by Master Shifu and also, it will explore our beloved heroes going to other and new places besides China, the main setting for Kung Fu Panda IV is Japan, where here, a tyrannical warlord and his four henchmen rule over the land of the rising red sun with naught but an iron fist, these five antagonists all together are known, as the "Five Warlords of Japan" and it is within their intentions to take over not only Japan but the entire world itself, their next target, the starting point being China, where they take over the Chinese Triad and intend to use both them and Japan's Yakuza to mount an all out war against China, namely Po and the others.

Are you sure you aren't just leaking us details of the next installment in the Kung Fu Panda series? Are you a secret storyboard director!?

Nope, this is all original, the four henchmen are named "Genbu the Black Tortoise", "Byakko the White Tiger", "Suzaku the Vermilion Bird" and "Seiryu the Azure Dragon", although they are called by those titles, they aren't actually the animals themselves in particular, for example, Suzaku is actually a Duck that is a disgraced former Master named "Master Quack", however...their Master, the leader of the Five Warlords of Japan IS an actual Dragon, his name is "Shinryu" and Shinryu serves, as the main, primary antagonist of Kung Fu Panda IV.

 

Shinryu is the last of his kind, the last of the Dragons that exist within the world and not too long ago, he attacked Tigress' village, killing everyone except for Tigress herself in search of a mystical scroll that was said to have been handed down by his Dragon brethren that are now deceased to the Tiger species, as a sign of good will between their people, that scroll is called the "Scroll of Epicness" and it is believed to be the original source of where words such, as awesome and sweet originated from in the land of China, once known before being called the Valley of Peace, as the "Land of the Dragons", a nod to Kingdom Hearts II, also, the idea of a Dragon attacking Tigers comes from the DreamWorks Interactive video game that served to help create the original Kung Fu Panda film, T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger.

 

Shinryu is the last Dragon that exists within the world and he is the original Dragon Warrior, Po must learn to emotionally overcome the challenges that come with facing his predecessor and save the ones that he loves, especially Tigress who goes full on vengeful in this film, trying to kill Shinryu, during this film, Po and Tigress will discover a budding romance between them in their own unique way that only Viper notices whilst everyone else is just plain clueless, not noticing a thing between the two acting differently around each other, also, they will try to deny the romance between them, as in one point during the film, Tigress believes that there is no room for love in the art of Kung Fu and at that time, Po at first hesitantly agrees with her before the two realize their mistakes and grow to genuinely love each other.

 

The voices of the villains are, as follows:

 

Jet Li, as Shinryu, the original Dragon Warrior and the very last of Dragon kind.

 

Christopher Walken, as Seiryu, the Azure "Dragon" and 2nd in command to Shinryu.

 

Christopher Lloyd, as Suzaku, the Vermilion Bird and disgraced former Master Quack.

 

Christian Bale, as Byakko, the White Tiger and leading enforcer of Shinryu's army comprised of both Japanese Yakuza and China's Triad.

 

Owen Wilson, as Genbu, the Black Tortoise, the youngest of Shinryu's four henchmen and the "comedian" of the group, a reference to Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

Tadanobu Asano, as Pig-Pig, the leader of a Yakuza clan known, as the "Family of Pigs" that is comprised of Pigs, Ducks and Wolves.

 

and here are the new good guys that appear in the film's voice-over actors:

 

Ken Jeong, as Mr. Pong, Mr. Ping's estranged twin brother who emigrated to Japan and whom Po has never met or even heard of before.

 

Lee Byung-hun, as Okami, a young enforcer under Byakko's command who is starting to doubt his Masters' ambitions and objectives.

 

What do you think of everything :]?

Dude, you need to seriously pitch this idea over to Dreamworks, because this would definitely sell, and it would make for a perfect fourth installment in the already amazing Kung Fu Panda franchise! Seriously man, I read this and literally imagined it as a film, and the plot is just perfect and something that falls in tune perfectly with what Kung Fu Panda is all about! DO IT MAN, GO TO DREAMWORKS AND SPEARHEAD A NEW KUNG FU PANDA TRILOGY!

Even if i wanted to, i don't know, i'm from the UK and if i do pitch the idea, its not like there is a DreamWorks headquarters in the UK, also, would it even get to the top brass? would they read it? all pitches have to be treated, as equal after all, believe me, i WANT to pitch this idea but i honestly don't know how.

 

For the four henchmen working under Shinryu, they are disgraced Masters of Kung Fu who hail from China just like Shinryu and have taken over Japan for themselves, they are:

 

Seiryu, A-K-A Master Salamander, Shinryu's 2nd in command and because his Kung Fu abilities far surpass those of Suzaku, Byakko and Genbu, he has been recognized by Shinryu, as a "true" Kung Fu Master and thus, he is called the Azure "Dragon", in reference to Shinryu recognizing Salamander's abilities and species, similar to actual Dragons like Shinryu themselves, again thus naming Salamander his 2nd in command, Seiryu/Azure Dragon, he is the utmost loyal to Shinryu's ambitions and plans for the future and will stop at nothing to achieve them for his Master, for he believes that Shinryu is like a father to Salamander and that he took in the latter when he had nowhere else to go and that nobody ever appreciated both Salamander's abilities and his existence despite being dubbed a Master, he considers Shinryu his foster father and is the only one to call Shinryu by his real birth name from China, Shenlong, also, to exemplify the "bond" between both Master and Student, Shinryu only allows Salamander to call him Shenlong, Salamander is the calm, collected and more composed leader of the four henchmen under Shinryu and he is also stoic, not allowing anything, not even the slightest unplanned change of plans bother him even in the again slightest, which is both uncanny and unique for amongst his species, they are known to be hot blooded and hot tempered in all of both China and Japan, Salamander has trained himself to a very great degree that he does not allow himself to be angered so very easily, unlike the rest of his species, this is a hard earned trait that had helped in solidifying his role, as 2nd in command to Shinryu himself.

 

Suzaku, A-K-A Master Quack, the next in command after Salamander, Quack is a conniving and devious Duck that will stop at nothing to overthrow both Salamander and Shinryu, in order to take the latter's place, as head of his empire, like his "Master", Quack also searches for the Scroll of Epicness and wishes to learn its secrets to become the supreme and especially only warlord over not just both China and Japan but also the entire world itself, he wishes to rule it with an iron fist, Quack is already known for how non trustful he can be and is only kept around by Shinryu because of his abilities in both Kung Fu and deception, Quack is the one who makes black market deals with the other lower ranking Yakuza clans of Japan, especially both Pig-Pig and his Yakuza clan, the Family of Pigs, Quack and Pig-Pig are plotting to team up with one another and overthrow Shinryu so that they can have all of his organization's mighty power for themselves, Quack often butts heads with Salamander, his superior and it is Salamander that keeps Quack both in line and in check, to make sure that he is not scheming anything and that he is not working out of line against Shinryu's ambitions, Quack is also highly sadistic and insane, some calling him the "Deranged Quack", especially by those that work under him who coined the term in the first place.

 

Byakko, A-K-A Master Tiger Claw, like Salamander before him, Tiger, as he is known for short is calm, collected and composed, however, unlike Salamander Tiger has a short degree of going off on the loose end, in other-words, he has a tendency to turn into a battle raving lunatic and also turns into someone seeking blood-lust, he lets his natural Tiger species instincts get the better of him and during battle, he runs wild and tries to kill all of his enemies whom he considers prey, not letting even a single one of them escape, this is why he is only the next in command after Quack when it should be the other way around, Tiger is from the very same Tiger clan that Tigress belongs to and it is due to Tiger's betrayal that Shinryu attacked the Tiger clan in search of the Scroll of Epicness and had killed nearly everyone belonging to the clan, Tiger had informed Shinryu that the Scroll of Epicness could be found in the village where he came from and that by pledging his allegiance to Shinryu, who Tiger believed could grant him the all powerful skills that he wanted to become stronger, forgoing his Tiger clan's ways of peace and instead wanted to learn the killing arts of Kung Fu, Shinryu committed genocide of the entire Tiger clan and only Tigress was left to tell the tale, upon growing up and remembering more of her lost memories by the time she became an adult, Tigress started to become vengeful and had wanted revenge on the people who destroyed her life before being adopted by Master Shifu, especially on both Tiger Claw and Shinryu, the ones who served in playing the parts the very most in destroying her home, her family and above everything else, her childhood, Tiger Claw is Tigress' arch-nemesis throughout the film and tries to goad her into giving in to her natural Tiger species predator instincts, wanting her to become just like him, a natural born predator that doesn't try to suppress his natural killing instincts like the rest of their clan, instead give in to them, as Tiger believes that is the way they were meant to be, that they should be, Tigress struggles throughout the entire film trying to resist the temptations of a predator's life and whilst she struggles, even with the others' help, especially Po's who has grown romantic feelings for her and vice versa, Tigress' hatred becomes so strong that she has very much trouble in trying to stop seeking vengeance, as that is not the way Shifu taught her how to live life and how to use Kung Fu, Tiger Claw builds on this hatred and reminds Tigress every single time of how she "failed" to protect her clan and how she is "failing" now, not seeking revenge against both Tiger and his Master Shinryu, Tiger Claw is a manipulative person, as described by how he plays on Tigress' feelings and he likes to taunt and work up his opponents, in order to get good "challenges" and "meals" from them before they die by his Claws, all in all, Tiger Claw is the true villain of the film, playing on Tigress' emotions and causing her to become embroiled with her inner turmoil of revenge and her natural Tiger predator instincts.

 

Genbu, A-K-A Master Iron Shell, nicknamed "Bu" for short, he is the last of the four henchmen to be recruited by Shinryu and is the youngest of them all, unlike his superiors and Master himself, Bu has a sense of humour albeit a dark one and he enjoys humiliating his opponents in battle, also enjoying winning victories against them, Bu self proclaims that he is descended from the same Tortoise species clan that Master Oogway once belonged to and that Oogway is Bu's great uncle, Bu also self proclaims that he went to go and teach under Oogway and when he did, although he received the title of Master, Bu was "unappreciated" unlike all other great Masters that were taught under Oogway like Master Shifu for example, because of this, Bu holds Master Shifu in great contempt and is plotting to kill him, Bu believes that all the other henchmen above him that were recruited by Shinryu look down on him and he wasn't too far off from that idea, due to being the youngest of the four henchmen, Bu is looked down by Salamander, Quack and Tiger Claw, especially by Quack who in his condescending nature calls Bu a failure and that Quack doesn't know why Shinryu had recruited Bu in the very first place, perhaps because of Bu's proclaims that he is related to Oogway and that he was taught by him, angered to a very great degree, Bu tries to prove himself to the other henchmen and especially Master Shinryu, intending to go on ahead with his plan to kill Shifu, Bu will stop at nothing until he has achieved his primary objectives within his mind, however, he will only act on his objectives when ordered to do other things by Master Shinryu, believing that he can kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes though in the case of one of them, the killing part is literal, despite not being, as physically strong or mentally smart, as his superiors, Bu has the strongest defense then all of them combined and he uses this to his advantage, taking very great pride in his defensive ability, for he believes if it was not for his hard, as diamonds Tortoise shell and the Kung Fu abilities combined with that, Shinryu would have never sought him out and recruited Bu in the first place, Bu like Salamander though not, as strongly holds Shinryu in high regards and is honoured to have been named, as one of the four henchmen that serve directly under him, upon meeting Po, he and Bu have a battle of their comedic wits, to see who is better at being a one and only "king of comedy", asides from his defense, Bu also channels Chi more quickly then the rest of the four henchmen when combining Chi with Kung Fu battle skills, another thing he takes great pride in.

 

These are the four henchmen, Seiryu is voiced by Christopher Walken, Suzaku is voiced by Christopher Lloyd, Byakko is voiced by Christian Bale and Genbu is voiced by Owen Wilson, what do you think :]?

Wow, this is just amazing! I like how you've thought up complex and in depth backstories for each of the characters, and yet they are easy enough to understand, lending great enjoyment to what would be the story of the film! Having Po and Tigress and the other Furious Five battle this group of particularly powerful foes is something I'd definitely want to see! 

 

Well man, I don't know, but seriously, if you can be able to find a way, I suggest that you pitch this idea to Dreamworks, because I'm sure they'd eat it up! It has potential to be an amazing story!

For a new Kung Fu Panda Trilogy, my idea is that Shinryu serves, as the main, primary antagonist of both IV: The Scroll of Epicness and V: The Dragon Warrior whilst number VI is meant to serve, as the final conclusion to the whole Kung Fu Panda Saga entirely.

 

IV is about Po and Tigress' budding romantic feelings for each other and how the latter wants to seek revenge on both Tiger Claw and Shinryu for destroying her life but is trying not to let that revenge in the form of her natural predator instincts take over, although Po has a battle with Shinryu during the film, Po for the very 1st time ever in the whole film franchise loses and at the end of the film he is presumed dead, Tigress, Master Shifu and the Furious Five are taken hostage and Shinryu begins his invasion of China after finding and obtaining the Scroll of Epicness, this leads onto Kung Fu Panda V: The Dragon Warrior which is a story based more around the legacy of the Dragon Warriors Shinryu the original and Po his successor and of how the two have one ultimate clash to decide who is the real rightful owner of the title worthy of it? Shinryu's motives and objectives are explained within V whereas in IV he only makes small appearances and has a final fight with Po after he defeats Tiger Claw which ultimately ends in Po's defeat, i chose Jet Li, as the actor i would most like to see play Shinryu for i believe he is considered a king of martial arts films, maybe "the" king after Bruce Lee, know what i mean? at any rate, Jet Li is such a famous Chinese martial arts actor that he was chosen for the role of Shinryu/Shenlong, since i don't know if Jet Li can speak English or not, i don't know if someone dubbed over his voice in the film The Forbidden Kingdom, if he doesn't speak English then the idea is that he speaks Chinese Mandarin throughout the whole two films with the characters understanding what he is saying, although Po does make a comment on whether or not he can speak English, similar to how the Tekken franchise treats the voices of their characters and how it proved to work in the live action adaption of Ghost in the Shell with the character Daisuke Aramaki.

 

Physical was the theme for I, Mental for II, Spiritual for III, Emotion for IV, Legacy for V and Reflection for VI, the difference between Legacy and Reflection is that Po faces the Legacy of his past in V whilst he faces a dark Reflection of himself in VI.

 

Kung Fu Panda VI: The Final Chapter will have a Panda, as the main, primary antagonist and the story of VI will show both China and Japan recovering from the events of both IV: The Scroll of Epicness and V: The Dragon Warrior, after Po had finally bested the heavenly Dragon Shinryu in Kung Fu, the antagonist of VI: The Final Chapter has him face an evil Panda by the name of "Bo" and because i don't want to spoil anything else, i'll just leave it at that for VI, returning back to both IV and V, the love story of Po and Tigress begins in IV and will finally settle in V, Po and Tigress in the fourth film try to deny their feelings for one another due to how shy and stubborn the two can be, not to mention using Kung Fu, as an excuse to deny their feelings for one another, however, Viper encourages Tigress to go for her true feelings, being the only one of the other members of the Furious Five to recognize that both Po and Tigress are in love with one another, however, Tigress strongly believes that there is no room for love in Kung Fu and thus dismisses Viper's claims about being in love with Po, during this same time, at the beginning sequence of the movie where Po and the others are seen training, Po decides to train with Tigress one on one but during the fight, Tigress accidentally lets her predator instincts take control and nearly kill Po, shocking everyone else and surprising Po, she is horrified by what she did, especially since it was Po and so Tigress left in fear, it is then that Shifu reveals the truth to everyone about Tigress' past and origins, she used to live in a peaceful village run by Tigers that studied Kung Fu and Tigress' father was the chief of that village who Shifu was good friends with, however, it was then that the chief's apprentice named Tiger Claw had betrayed the village and in a both strange and mysterious Master of Kung Fu with unknown origins' name committed genocide of his own home and clan, killing everyone, amongst them Tigress' father and mother, even though she was just a baby at the time, the horrendous events that took place in front of her caused her mind to seal away those tragic memories, as a mechanism in order to protect herself subconsciously and when she was found by Shifu at the orphanage who he believed that Tigress had died along with the rest of her clan, Shifu took upon him to take in Tigress and raise her, as his very own daughter, despite his past with Tai Lung, believing raising Tigress was the last promise he made with the chief before dying and that he wanted Shifu to take care of Tigress and raise her through the teachings of Kung Fu, it is the anniversary of the time Tigress lost everything and her memories are starting to come back now that she is an adult, this causes Po to become worried for her and wants to do everything within his power to help save Tigress.

 

That's the beginning of the romantic side of the story's plot and now here is the synopsis behind two new characters in the Scroll of Epicness that will star, as Po's newest allies:

 

Mr. Xiao Pong, the estranged twin brother of Po's foster father Xiao Ping who when the two were younger and were training to become chefs alongside each other, Pong got into a fight with Ping and because the fight was so tense and heated, Pong decided to emigrate to Japan after finishing his chef training alongside Ping, opening up a restaurant there that serves Chinese inspired Japanese food, in other-words, Ramen with the flavour of Chinese Noodles, people call Pong in Japan "Tenchi" which translates, as "Heaven and Earth" in English, for they say his food is divine and that it is almost, as godly, as the both Heaven and Earth themselves, Pong has a chain of restaurants running all over across Japan and he has been selected, as its number one best chef of both Japanese and Chinese cuisine, having practically brought the latter culture to the former by "moving the Earth to Heaven" in a sort of described way, Po has never met or even heard of his foster uncle since Ping has "disowned" Pong, however, during the film, Po soon realizes that Ping still thinks about his brother very deeply and Pong vice versa despite their huge argument, for Po discovers that his name Po was taken from Pong's name and that Pong makes his Chinese Noodles in the flavour that both he and Ping practiced together when they were young, Pong kept the original recipe that both he and Ping use to create their Noodles with but in Pong's case, he has added Japanese flavours or something equivalent to the Noodles and other foods on his menu and he managed to complete that experiment successfully, earning the reputation that he has now with true complete and utter honesty, he has evolved the recipe and the menu whereas Ping was afraid to do so, during Ping's side of the film, his restaurant is suffering from his customers tasting the same stuff over and over again for the last few years and so when Ping learns that Po will be journeying to Japan during the film, Ping secretly hitchhikes in an attempt to track down Pong and steal the recipe that they both worked on when they were chef apprentices, trying to reobtain old glory but Pong discovers this and both he and Ping get into a comedic kitchen fight before after a while later on, the two realize that one and the other had never ever truly forgotten about each other and thus, they rekindle.

 

Okami, a young Wolf who has just joined the Yakuza organization that Shinryu runs called the "Sky Masters", Okami is basically the animation version of John Boyega's character Finn from Star Wars, he finds himself doubting his leaders' objectives and motives and wonders what is it all for? Okami is brash but when confronted with those he believes are stronger then he is, he finds himself cowering and backing out in front of them, Okami was just a youth who was in the wrong places and picked fights with the wrong people, although he would usually come out on top against them, during the last fight of his, he was tricked and was almost killed until he was saved by the timely arrival of Byakko who took in Okami, as his apprentice, knowing that Okami was a fellow predator like he was, ever since he was saved by Byakko Okami looks up to him like a mentor and saviour and also treats him more or less like a foster father, although he disagrees with Byakko's violent tendencies, it has always been thanks to Okami that he managed to calm Byakko down and stop him from taking things too far when he was only ordered to do certain things and nothing more, during one point in the film where Tigress in her path of seeking revenge tried to attack Byakko, Okami stopped her and was the only one able to keep her at bay when no one else could, not even Po who struggled to try and reason with Tigress, after a short fight and coming out on top thanks to Byakko's teachings, Okami spares an unconscious Tigress' life and calls Po a failure for not being able to protect the people that he cherishes, especially since he owns the title of "Dragon Warrior", it is from this point that Po learns what he must do in order to help Tigress, Okami meanwhile himself makes a revelation after seeing the sadness within Tigress' eyes and realizes that his Master Byakko played some part in her current suffering, upon discovering the truth from Byakko himself, Okami starts to have doubts about whether to stay by Byakko's side or rebel against him, it is then that Okami aids Po during the final battle against Byakko, having realized and making a choice for himself, although grateful for everything Byakko did for him, it is now Okami's turn to save Byakko by stopping Byakko himself, he gets knocked out during the fight but by the end recovers himself, however, it is then that he becomes one of the captured alongside Tigress, Master Shifu and the rest of the Furious Five when Shinryu enters the Frey and beats Po without so much, as flinching, declaring Okami, as a traitor, it is then at this point that Okami offically becomes one of the good guys and plays a role in Kung Fu Panda V: The Dragon Warrior.

 

By the beginning of Kung Fu Panda V: The Dragon Warrior, Po is declared dead and Shinryu has found the Scroll of Epicness, currently trying to analyse and decipher its meanings and teachings whilst torching all of China in a fiery blaze, having taken over most of the feudal land, declaring his supremacy over all of China from its central capital Gongmen City with Seiryu, Suzaku and Genbu by his side, not caring for the defeat of Byakko in the previous film, now, the only last standing in rebellion location within China is the Valley of Peace, where all of the remaining Masters of China, including the Panda villagers from the third film have gathered and are now trying to make a final stand against Shinryu and his almighty army of both Japanese Yakuza and China's Triad combined, in the meantime, Po washes up ashore on a ocean of an island nearby in-between both China and Japan and it is here that he meets an old hermit once known, as "Master Leaping Toad-Frog" who was well known to have lived alongside Oogway during the time he was young and together they studied under the same Master, making Master Toad-Frog Oogway's sibling disciple, they both learned the final secret of the Scroll of Epicness, as taught to them by their Master when they were about to graduate from being Students and into true Masters, however, upon learning the final technique of the Scroll, the Master forbade both Oogway and Toad-Frog from ever using it, as it was declared a "perversion" to the art of Kung Fu itself, it involved the practical art of killing and although Oogway had agreed with his Master's wishes, Toad-Frog did not and had wanted to practice its use for the art of warfare, because of this he was banished and Oogway instead was chosen to become the Grand Master of the Jade Palace when it should have been Toad-Frog instead, although he still wishes for others to learn it for war, Toad-Frog wanted to still honour his Master's memory and so he disappeared from the activities of the world instead choosing a nomad's life, as a hermit, he was the one that hid away the Scroll of Epicness after stealing it from his Master without both him and Oogway noticing before it was too late but he had never bestowed its art of killing onto others and had believed Japan was a best bet to seal away its knowledge, never did he imagine that the very last surviving Dragon and original Dragon Warrior Shinryu, A-K-A Shenlong would come looking for the Scroll, as he himself had not learned all of its secrets and now, in an attempt to redeem himself and put an end to Shenlong's reign of terror over both China and Japan once and for all, Toad-Frog is willing to teach Po the final secret of the Scroll of Epicness, the final killing art that Toad-Frog believes is needed in order to stop Shenlong for good, however, Po refuses constantly throughout the film and despite Toad-Frog pestering him about it, Po still intends to find a more peaceful way of settling things with Shenlong, however, he soon starts to realize that there may not be any other hope left except to learn the final art of killing Kung Fu, will he do it in order to save his friends or will he fail either way and the entire world itself ends up forever doomed within Shenlong's Claws? this is the most vital Chapter within the Kung Fu Panda Saga and in the story of Po, as the legendary Dragon Warrior, for Master Leaping Toad-Frog, he is designed to be a mix between both a Toad and a Frog and is a elderly sage with vast amounts of knowledge like Oogway once was, however, he is meant to be a dark interpretation of both Oogway and Master Shifu, trying to teach Po how to kill in order to save his beloved ones when really, Toad-Frog misguidedly believes that this is his chance for redemption and in all honesty, he doesn't care about how Po himself truly feels on the subject matter, he makes for a interesting character right?

 

What do you think of everything?

Indeed, indeed, this is all extremely interesting. You've really taken your time developing the story that would span this trilogy, huh? It definitely shows the love and care you have for the lore of the franchise, and everything that you described and the events you wrote really depict what would ideally happen, and honestly, if this were made into films, they would be amazing, and not only would the fanbase be treated to three films worth of epic storytelling, but the films would make awesome money as well! You've got yourself quite the idea for this new trilogy. If possible at all, I again recommend you try and get this over to Dreamworks. I'm sure they'd love this pitch!

Yeah but what if there were creative differences between both me and the people who previously made the films? what if they didn't like my idea for a new trilogy? that's what i'm worried about and here i am having already thought of the perfect name for Tigress' father, the chieftain of the Tiger clan village, i mean yes i most definitely want to pitch this new Kung Fu Panda trilogy but i'm worried since when they talk about making and completing a film, they don't leave it open ended, they make it feel like a complete journey, although Kung Fu Panda IV and V are meant to be a two parter, how would it really work?

That would be the real thing to deal with there, but really, I doubt that the people over at Dreamworks would have creative differences with you over your concept, considering that your concept is very well rooted into the Kung Fu Panda mythos, and the story really clicks into what makes the franchise special, all while making it work as a film about anthropomorphic animals with fighting abilities, ya know? I believe that they'd definitely love this idea, and it would be a change of pace from what the previous trilogy was, ya know?  I say you give it a shot!

Okay, by the way, i'm thinking of sending you a PM about the new Kung Fu Panda Trilogy's story, i know i have practically explained everything but thanks to advice from my dad, i need to first write out the story and then afterwards create the lines and scripts for each character to say in all the scenes, is that okay? please say otherwise if not and if so, we can still talk about normal things on the Anime Extended Universe PM but the Kung Fu Panda PM is meant to go over the story with a person's professional opinion in mind, obviously yours lol :].
