Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness

Sweet!

3x16 - Eternal Chord

Bandits are coming.

Bandits are...

Never mind. Hai!

Oh, god!

Let's show 'em how the Dragon Warrior

and the Furious Five do things downtown!

Kicking donkey team attack.

- Go! - What? Wait. No.

Po.

Guys!

Uh, so not kicking donkey team attack?

You're out of step with your teammates, Po,

And it's been happening more and more frequently.

Villains, face the wrath of the Dragon Warrior!

Wah!

Wah-tah!

Who wants super-spicy peppers in super-spicy sauce?

- Ew. For breakfast? - I have a nervous stomach.

You're right. I'm broken.

Help me.

Po, you're simply out of harmony...

with the Furious Five, with the world,

- with everything. - We've always gotten along before.

That may be, but until you get back in harmony,

I can't allow you to go on missions.

What? You're... you're benching me?

- But I'm the Dragon Warrior! - Yes, I know.

You keep mentioning it over and over and over.

Of course I keep mentioning it. It's a huge dealie.

How can I explain this?

Po, think of your favorite song.

Hmm, that's a toughie,

because sometimes I like it upbeat, like...

But other times I like something slow, like...

Never mind.

Think of any song. Each note is different,

but no note is more important than the other.

They blend together in harmony.

However, if even one

- it spoils everything. - Oh...

I don't get it.

I'm sorry, Po. No missions for you.

As it stands, you're a danger to yourself and your teammates.

Master, please.

I've worked so hard to be the best Dragon Warrior I can.

Don't make me stop now.

I'll do anything. Anything!

I may know someone who can help.

Tonight you and I will attend an evening of classical Chinese melodies.

Master, please! Classical is so boring.

This is for your own good.

Who's the old, boring guy?

That's Master Lun, the greatest musician in China.

And he is not boring.

Let's begin with a tune I call Stagnant water...

slowly dripping...

from a leaf...

on the ground...

slow.

Master Lun has learned to harness the Qi energy of sound.

Still bored?

Classical music rules!

Encore! Whoo-whoo!

Oh, Master Lun, that was amazing.

Can you teach me how to move rocks around

and become invisible?

- He didn't become invisible. - Couldn't hurt to ask.

Music isn't about tricks, my boy.

It's about catching the vibe, going with the flow.

As the ancient masters once said,

"music is what's happening."

In the beginning, there was darkness and chaos.

But out of this,

five elemental tones began to sing...

Forming the eternal chord,

and that's how the universe was born.

The Wu Di masters made five instruments

harnessing the power of the eternal chord.

And it would have been very uncool if they hadn't,

for the chord was needed to battle the evil Yaoguai,

who wanted to return the universe to nothingness.

The Wu Di pipes and other instruments

have kept the darkness at bay...

and the universe in harmony.

Whoa! You mean those pipes are...

"those pipes?"

That's right.

Musical kung fu can be played on any instrument,

but the pipes are special...

Maybe special enough to get you in harmony.

Ooh, ooh, let me try! Let me try!

No.

For the untrained, they could blow your head apart.

Sure, for the untrained.

But this is the one and only Dragon Warrior's noggin.

It's not like he uses it much anyway.

Perhaps, but we can't take that risk...

yet.

Practice on this.

But this is the exact opposite of awesome, magical pipes.

I mean... neat.

In the words of the ancient masters, lay it on me.

My son, don't take this the wrong way,

but you are what the ancient masters called...

"not good."

- Can you help him? - Well, it won't be easy,

but I think I can teach him about his harmony

in two, maybe three years... a decade at the most.

A decade? I can't wait five years!

I know you're disappointed, Po, but be patient.

We can't risk you harming yourself or someone else.

But... I know.

Look, master, do you mind?

I think I need some personal panda time.

Of course. I'll meet you back at the Jade Palace.

Okay. I'll just use the pipes to get all harmonious
