The real name of the Furious Five 

After the Kung Fu Panda 4 movie I started thinking about what Zhen's first conversations with the Furious Five would be like. I imagined her nervous about making a good impression but fitting quite well with her group dynamic given her mischievous attitude and enjoying their adventures with her, establishing a relationship of trust. Which led me to a thought "Would she, wanting to know them more, ask them what their real names are?"

This theory has been circulating in the fandom for years since it is said that their names actually refer to their fighting styles or their species (as well as Master Ox, Crocodile or Rhino) since those who retain their own name within this discipline are those who have a superior role such as Oogway, Shifu or Po and those who do not have a title such as Zhen or Tai Lung.

Well, I decided to look for a suitable name for each one, one that fit their physique or personality, that was easy to remember and that would distinguish one another, let's go!

Mantis: Xun Yu ( fast jade )

With Mantis I was clear that I didn't want to look for anything that had to do with his size but I did want to highlight his most powerful abilities such as his speed.  That's where his first name, Xun, comes from.  His middle name, Yu (Jade), is because of his green color although this can also mean ''insect'' depending on the kanji with which it is written.  My idea is that Mantis calls himself ''the green lightning'' referring to his real name.

Crane: Zimo ( refined ink )

At first I wanted his name to be related to the sky or the air due to his avian species or his techniques, but it made me think that one of the things that catches my attention about this character is his interest in Chinese calligraphy.  Therefore, I decided to name him Zimo (ink or writing) to reflect his beloved hobby in his name.

Monkey: Wong Sang ( yellow mulberry )

For Monkey, I researched his voice actor, the one and only Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-Sang. I wanted to take it as a reference by changing the name Kong since it is the name of the Monkey's brother to Wong (yellow), relating it to the color of his fur. I wanted to make a reference to his comic side but I couldn't find a suitable name for the guidelines I had assigned to it.

Viper: Jia Ling ( beautiful tinkle )

As with Monkey, I researched on her voice actress, Lucy Liu, whose full name is Lucy Alexis Liu Yu Ling. I wanted to reflect her charming and sweet personality, so I took the name Ling (tinkerbell) as a reference of the hiss' snake she produces, as well as her happy attitude.  But her first name would be Jia to emphasize the beauty of this character.

Tigress: Xia ( sunrise )

For her, I thought I would delve deeper into her story and her development as a character in order to give her the appropriate name.  This is her story:

When Tigress lived in the orphanage, she received the name Xian ("who lives in seclusion") from the other children perpetuating their contempt and fear of her. When Shifu finally decided to adopt her, after He heard that name many times, almost always accompanied by the word "monster", he asked her what new name she would like. She simply accepted Tigress because she didn't believe she could deserve a name. Shifu pondered and decided to call him Xia. Tigress at first didn't like this idea because it sounded similar to the previous one, but Shifu explained his choice to her. Both names, although similar, did not have the same meaning because now she would no longer be in the darkness, secluded and alone, but rather she had the opportunity for a new life, a path marked by the light that emanated from her, a new sunrise.

So yes, Zhen would ask the furious five their names, giving the situation that Po would find out right then and there about this. Everyone except Tigress would answer this question since for her it is still a very personal matter related to her past and Shifu and she still doesn't feel comfortable sharing it with everyone. Could Tigress talk to a certain panda about this?

Kung Fu Panda Headcanons List (Po, Shifu, and The Furious Five)

In honor of Kung Fu Panda 4 Releasing Today!!

Po:

One of his favorite anime of all time is Dragon Ball Z, as well as Dragon Ball Super!

He has a whole collection of yoga mats somewhere in his house.

He makes a good napping spot for the others whenever they get tired.

Master Shifu:

He’s a surpassingly good cook, but tells nobody about it.

Baking is one of his favorite pastimes.

He can do the double jump that Mei does in Turning Red.

The Furious Five in General:

They have one massive found family dynamic and see each other as siblings- mostly.

On various nights, they all gather around a tv and binge some anime.

And they’re also somewhat great cooks- emphasis on somewhat.

Tigress:

She has a scratching pad all to herself.

Her garden is filled with catnip- lots of it.

And more often than not, she does her homework before doing anything new.

Crane:

He does a great job with acting as the team’s periscope.

He loves digging in the ground for worms to eat.

And said ground is sauce, while said worms are noodles.

Mantis:

Despite his tiny size, he can catch flies faster than you can blink.

He loves orchids and keeps some in his room.

He is not interested in dating, as he is a male, and I think you know what happens if he ever goes on a date…

Viper:

Since she has no venom, Viper has resorted to constricting her food.

She is often nicknamed a “Boop Noodle” by the people she meets across the Multiverse.

And she has the unique ability to camouflage amongst the forest foliage.

Monkey:

He grows his own bananas in a garden outside his bedroom.

One of his favorite exercises is swinging on vines.

And with that being said, he definitely grew up in a jungle.

Jade Palace + Social Media

Basically, I thought up of a bunch of silly headcanons about if Po + the Furious Five had social media because I thought it would be funny. Enjoy!

Viper has the most followers. Like, she has millions of followers. She was also the first one to ask Shifu if they could get social media accounts, as she wanted to keep in contact with her family. Shifu kept telling her no, thinking such a thing would be a distraction for them. (Viper, then Monkey and Mantis, went behind his back and got accounts anyways. After Po came along and Shifu found inner peace and became a lot less strict to his students, he allowed them to get social media. They wisely pretended as if they never had it when they made their accounts public.) Viper was originally fine with just commenting on and sharing what her sisters and other family posted, but then she discovered ASMR, and fell absolutely in love with it. She developed a strong attachment to ASMR, and began practicing it, and people love it, thinking her voice and the rattles she makes when she moves are perfect for ASMR. She also gives excellent affirmations.

Monkey and Mantis also downloaded social media before Shifu allowed it. They both have a substantial amount of followers, with Monkey having slightly more than Mantis. Monkey posts selfies/pictures but also spams the group chat with memes. Mantis advertises his acupuncture services and sends extremely cursed memes to their group chat, which Monkey appreciates. Tigress is not so amused. She has threatened to block both of them multiple times in order to not see their constant cursed memes.

Po has the second most followers. He had social media before he became the Dragon Warrior that he used to market his dad’s business, but after he became the Dragon Warrior, naturally his follower account exploded, as did his dad’s business. Po fills his stories and posts with selfies and pictures of Shifu (despite him trying to avoid appearing on social media posts), the Furious Five, and shares all the content that his friends make. Naturally, whenever he posts pictures of him and the Five eating at Mr. Ping’s restaurant, Mr. Ping experiences a boom in business. Po also posts pictures of his food just as much--if not more--than his pictures of his friends and family.

Crane was somewhat hesitant to get social media, and his account was private for quite a while. He eventually made his account public after being peer pressured into it. He’s the least active of Po and the Five online, and Viper and Po (especially the latter) are trying to convince him to post his calligraphy and artwork, considering it to be quite skilled. His self-consciousness has prevented him from doing so thus far.

Tigress has the third most followers. She’s very no-nonsense on social media, and surprisingly, Po managed to talk her into getting it fairly soon after Shifu allowed it. Now, Tigress posts manageable workouts on her accounts for the average person, focusing especially on self-defense skills that women can use. Her popularity online has certainly grown quite well. Po also talked her into doing a couple lives with her followers, keeping everything professional and answering questions relevant to the content she posts. Po keeps trying to talk her into teaching a kung fu class for girls or a self-defense class for women in general. (“Come on! They think you’re awesome! They love you! You’re so hardcore!”) She may be considering it. 

Shifu is not terribly technologically literate. He is definitely a boomer who would struggle to figure out how to download something to a flash drive. He also has a habit of taking pictures that are very off-center, or otherwise do not look great (his thumb has covered the camera several times before). He doesn’t have social media, and is constantly asking Po to teach him how to take good pictures (Po takes the best ones) and has accidentally downloaded viruses onto the Jade Palace computers twice. Oogway is chuckling at him from the Spirit Realm.

Los nombres de los Cinco Furiosos

Tras la película de Kung Fu Panda 4 me dio por pensar como sería las primeras conversaciones de Zhen con los Cinco Furiosos. Me la imaginé nerviosa por causar una buena impresión pero encajando bastante bien con la dinámica del grupo dada a su actitud pícara y disfrutando junto a ellos de sus aventuras estableciéndose una relación de confianza. Lo que me llevo a un pensamiento ''¿ Ella al querer conocerles más les preguntaría cuales son sus auténticos nombres?'' .

Esta teoría lleva años rulando en el fandom pues se dice que sus nombres en realidad se refieren a sus estilos de lucha o a su especie ( así como al Maestro Buey, Cocodrilo o Rhino) pues los que conservan dentro de esta disciplina su nombre propio son aquellos que tienen un rol superior como Oogway, Shifu o Po y los que no tienen un titulo como Zhen o Tai Lung.

Bien, pues decidí que les buscaría un nombre adecuado para cada uno, que encajase con su físico o su personalidad, fáciles de recordar y que fuesen distinguibles entre ellos ¡let's go!

Mantis: Xun Yu ( veloz jade )

Con Mantis tuve claro que no quería buscar nada que tuviese que ver con su tamaño pero si quería destacar sus habilidades más potentes como su velocidad. De ahí surge su primer nombre, Xun . Su segundo nombre, Yu (Jade), es por su color verde aunque este puede significar también ''insecto'' dependiendo del kanji con el que se escriba. Mi idea es que Mantis se autodenomine como ''el rayo verde'' haciendo referencia a su nombre real.

Grulla: Zimo ( tinta refinada )

En un comienzo quise que su nombre estuviese relacionado con el cielo o el aire dada a su especie aviar o a sus técnicas pero me hizo pensar que una de las cosas que más me llama la atención de este personaje es su interés por la caligrafía china. Por ello, me decante por nombrarle Zimo (tinta o escritura) para reflejar su amada afición en su nombre.

Mono: Wong Sang ( morera amarilla )

Para Mono investigue sobre su actor de doblaje, el mismísimo Jackie Chan, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Chan Kong-Sang. Quise tomarlo como referencia cambiando el nombre de Kong pues es el nombre del hermano de mono por Wong (amarillo) relacionándolo al color de su pelaje. Quería hacer una referencia a su faceta cómica pero me no encontré ningún nombre adecuado a las pautas que había asignado.

Víbora: Jia Ling ( bello cascabel )

Al igual que con mono, investigue sobre su actriz de doblaje, Lucy Liu, cuyo nombre completo es Lucy Alexis Liu Yu Ling. Quería reflejar su personalidad encantadora y dulce por lo que tome de referencia el nombre de Ling (tintineo) por el siseo que esta produce al ser una serpiente además de por su actitud alegre. Pero su primer nombre sería Jia para enfatizar la belleza de este personaje.

Tigresa: Xia ( amanecer )

Para ella pensé en profundizar más sobre su historia y su desarrollo como personaje para así darle el nombre adecuado. Esta es su historia:

Cuando Tigresa vivía en el orfanato recibió el nombre de Xian por parte de los demás niños ya que este significa "aquella que vive en reclusión" perpetuando su desprecio y miedo hacia a ella. Cuando Shifu finalmente decidió adoptarla, tras haber escuchado muchas veces ese nombre casi siempre acompañado de la palabra "monstruo", le pregunto que nombre nuevo deseaba para ella. Esta aceptaba simplemente el de Tigresa pues no creía que pudiese merecerse un nombre. Shifu reflexionó y decidió ponerle el nombre de Xia. Tigresa al principio le disgusto esta idea pues sonoramente era parecido al anterior pero Shifu le explico su elección. Ambos nombres aunque parecidos no poseían mismo significado pues ahora ella ya no estará más en la oscuridad recluida y sola sino que tenia la oportunidad de una nueva vida, un camino marcado por la luz desprendía de ella, un nuevo amanecer.

Así que sí, Zhen preguntaría sus nombres a los cinco furiosos dándose la situación de que Po se entere en ese mismo instante. Todos excepto Tigresa responderían a esta pregunta ya que para ella sigue siendo un tema muy personal relacionado con su pasado y con Shifu y aún no se siente cómoda como para compartirlo con todos ¿puede que sí pueda con cierto panda?
