Villain Overview

For a thousand years, I have suffered in obscurity, hiding my true form. Sustaining myself with the chi of lesser beings. The Four Constellations tried to stop me once by trapping my soul in the spirit urn. They failed, and the spirit urn was lost to time. And when I have captured the chi of all Four Constellations and claimed the Wellspring as my own, I shall regain my true dragon form. So sayeth I, the one true Dragon Master: Jindiao.
~ Jindiao explaining his origins and plans.
Look at your village, Po. Look at it burn. How does it feel knowing you couldn't save it?
~ Jindiao taunting Po as he destroys the Panda Village.

Jindiao is the main antagonist of season 1 in the 2018 Amazon Prime original DreamWorks series Kung Fu Panda: Paws of Destiny. He is an evil dragon spirit who wanted to bond with the Wellspring to become a god, and then proceed to enslave the entire planet in fire and fury.

He is voiced by Steve Blum, who also voices Starscream in Transformers Prime, Makucha in The Lion Guard, Vilgax and Zs'Skayr in the Ben 10 franchise, Red Skull in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Darkseid in Justice League: War, Kyogai in Demon Slayer, Ares in God of War, Hobgoblin in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Orochimaru and Zabuza Momochi in Naruto, Smytus in My Life as a Teenage Robot, Cliff Hudson in Dead Rising, Green Goblin in The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Amon in The Legend of Korra.

Personality[]

Jindiao is an evil and power-hungry dragon who wants to take over the Wellspring, for which he is ready to do anything from stealing a scroll to threatening to wipe out an entire village from the face of the earth.

Him also treats his minions badly, scolding them for their failures and even hitting Jade Tusk once her for saying the Wellspring was dry. And although he spared Huifang, it was only because her uncle served Emperor.

Jindiao is also very cunning and manipulative. Having taken possession of the body of a vulture, he pretended to be a good monk for a thousand years, hiding his true nature. When Jindiao fought Jing, he offered her to become the best master kung-fu, If she goes over to his side  and also tried to lure the panda inhabitants to his side, promising wealth and a luxurious life in exchange for the four constellations.

Another thing that can be said about Jindiao is that he is very sadistic in nature. Because he smirks when one of the deer is beaten by Yaoguai. At another point, he spared Bunnidharma only for him to suffer for 1000 years because he could not help Po and the constellations, and then laughed at the death of the rabbit. Or how Jindiao burns down the panda village and tells Po about it.

Biography[]

Origins[]

1,000 years ago, Jindiao had the physical form of a dragon and was the original dragon master. Corrupted by his own power, he sought to attain godhood by binding with the Wellspring, a great source of chi. This would allow him to dominate over all. However, the original Four Constellations, who were originally his students, used their chi to stop him. This meant that they sacrificed their mortal existence, but they separated Jindiao’s physical body from his soul.

Left without a body, Jindiao sought out a new one to hijack. He eventually found and possessed the body of a vulture named Chong. Since then, Jindiao used the disguise of the Grand Abbot of a temple of monks, biding his time while he drained the chi of others to sustain himself for over a millennium.

Present[]

When Jindiao found out about four pandas who received the Hero Chi of the Four Constellations, he once again to find the Wellspring. He sent Jade Tusk and other day of her kind to capture them. However, Po saved them, and the five of them fought them off.

In his temple, Jindiao talks about how the first dragon warrior could feed on dew from ginkgo leaves and chi given by the universe itself. After which he notices Jade Tusk and scolds her for daring to appear in the monastery. At this moment, Huifang her began to speak and this began to get on Jindiao’s nerves. Afterwards, Jindiao pays a visit to Pious Chan and after a short conversation, takes his chi.

At one point, he sends a demon to find a scroll. However, using the Red Phoenix’s power, they were able to dispatch the demon.

Jindiao later attempts to defeat Po for good by visiting the Panda Village and holding an exhibition match. He holds a battle of minds while secluded in a hut. After a little while, he almost gets Po, but is then outmatched, and knocked unconscious. However, Po wakes up and gets, and one of the Four is able to revive his Chi, not knowing of his evil.

As the Four Constellations begin to suspect evil in Po, they soon learn that it's Jindiao who is the real threat. Jindiao bonds it has on of the kids, who has the Blue Dragon Constellation’s Chi. He takes Po's Hero Chi, and gets rid of him.

Without a master, the Four Constellations have to fulfill this role for themselves while Jindiao isn’t hot on their trail. They warn the village of Jindiao, but all the other Pandas disbelieve them. Jindiao later attacks Thebes village, resulting in the Pandas falling into a deep slumber, which they later awaken from.

The Four Constellations keep him at bay as best they can, but he still seemed to pursue them with ease. Jindiao holds a battle of minds with the kid who has the White Tiger’s Chi. However, he is stopped. Po, who didn’t survive, later finds the kids again with the help of an old rabbit.

Jindiao later ambushes them, drains the rabbit’s Chi, and breaks the pot she used to seal him. He made them show him where the Wellspring was. When he got there, however, he was then taken by surprise when the four kids and Po reveal that the one Jindiao smashed was a decoy. They attempted to trap Jindiao once and for all, which cost the kids their mortal existence. However, it was actually the vulture who was trapped, and Jindiao emerged in full dragon form.

Jindiao laid waste to the Panda village. However, Po grabbed hold of him, and used the Wu Shi finger hold on himself, taking Jindiao to the spirit realm. However, he wouldn’t stay there for long. Luckily, the original Four Constellations granted the kids their Chi, so that they could pursue Jindiao, and Po was given a dragon form to fight. Jindiao made it out of the spirit realm, and the five heroes scraped to escape.

Finding himself in the village, Jindiao begins to fight Po and the Four Constellations. When Jade Tusk was taken hostage, Jindiao blast her with his lightning power, revealing she meant nothing to him. He attempted to convince them by reminding the village Pandas of how the kids were troublemakers, and offered them conquest and dominance’s over the world. However, Li Shan and the other pandas he was denied that by the, after which Li Shan gave a signal to Zhizhu and he rained down a hail of stones on Jindiao. After this, Jindiao attacked.

Luckily, after quite a battle, with the help of a reformed Jade Tusk, they finally trapped Jindiao, and his body disintegrated away. He would remain in the pot, stuck in the spirit realm with the vulture still inside the pot, annoying him and receiving his comeuppance.

Quotes[]

Jindiao: Where are they now?
Henchwoman: In Panda Village.
Jindiao: Jade Tusk... remove this one from my sight. Permanently.
Henchwoman: No. No, no, Master, please! No!
Jade Tusk: Please allow me to correct her grievous mistake. Surely the children must know how to get back into the Temple.
Jindiao: Then perhaps you should ask them yourself. And do ask nicely.
~ First appearance of Jindiao.
Oh, you're stronger than the others, Angry One. Different. When we first met, you were but a cranky little brat. Your Hero Chi has grown immensely. I thought I wanted it all for myself, but I was wrong. Join me, child. Don't let these fools hold you back. There is so much more to the world than what Master Po has taught you. With my help, you could be one of the most powerful Kung Fu masters the world has ever seen. You need only to depend on yourself.
~ Jindiao tries to win over Jing to his side.
Now, before I'm forced to hurt anyone else, perhaps a moment of reflection. Hmm? I'll go first. I think we've all gotten off on the wrong foot. My friends, I am here, not as an oppressor, but as an ally. I wish to return you pandas to your rightful place, as the Guardians of the Wellspring. To rule by my side. To live like royalty in your ancestral homeland. Untold riches. Security. And all the food you could ever eat. No longer hiding. Or living in fear. You will reign over the land as masters of your own destiny. Imagine it. Heaven and Earth merging to become one. It can happen. All that can be yours, once we've dealt with one teensy little detail. All you must do to have everything you've ever wanted is turn the four panda children over to me. These children have always been troublemakers and outsiders. They've never truly been a part of this village. Surely, sacrificing the children is a small price to pay to make all your dreams come true.
~ Jindiao persuades the villagers to give him Four Constellations.
Well, that was an unexpected treat.
~ Jindiao when Bunnidharma died for Po.
And now I shall take back what is rightfully mine!
~ Jindiao attempt to drain the Wellspring.
(laughs) Did you really think your little idiotic trick would work? You almost got me off-guard, who knew that my repulsive roommate would come in so handy... It was so easy to send that annoying vulture into the urn in my place, freeing my own spirit, to return to its rightful and glorious form!
~ Jindiao freeing himself.
Jindiao: What I want is for both of you to stop talking. Forever. Ever. Ever. Ever!
Chong: Ooh. Somebody got up on the wrong side on the cursed mystical jar this morning.
Jindiao: I need you to stop talking.
Chong: So, like, which side of the bucket do you want to sleep on? Also, I snore now. Hope that's not a promlem.
Jindiao: Shut up, shut up, shut up!
~ Jindiao's nervous breakdown after being imprisoned in a spirit urn with Chong.

Trivia[]

  • Jindiao means Golden eagle in Chinese.
  • He is very similar to Ke-Pa: both are purely evil, yet fully intelligent and arrogant dragons, both tried to conquer the world and kill all the mortals, 1000 years ago they both had their true forms and powers, only to get trapped in other bodies after being defeated, and they both say to Po that they are the true Dragon Warrior. So due to this, it's possible that Jindiao may even had a connection to Ke-Pa.
