The Furious Five’s COMPLETE Backstory! | Kung Fu Panda 

What's ironic about Tigress is that when she was a kid, the children and adults feared her, but when she became an adult, the children adored her.

Crane's mother was clearly faking the heart attacks to make him feel bad, my mother does that all the time

Viper has some similarities to Toph with them both being born with disabilities and being held back by their parents

Unpopular opinion: The furious Five were underutilized ". Their character designs are great - they are animal martial artists, each with their own fighting style - including one with no legs, one with wings, and one who is an insect! There's a lot you could do with that. They also serve a function in the story - it doesn't make much sense to have an established martial arts school with no students. I guess they COULD have made it a one master/one student thing. It just seems like they don't really go anywhere past that, and all they really do in the story is serve token roles and make Po look good.

DreamWorks gave both Puss In Boots and The Penguins of Madagascar their own spin off movies. I don’t see anything wrong with doing the same with The Furious 5 as well.

Crane thinking that he was needed to clean the Jade Palace is the funniest thing ever

I love Crane more than every other member, and I especially love the way his backstory is essentially just “The world didn’t think he was good enough, he proves them wrong”

Tigress was the glue that held the Furious Five, but as she began to continue her path of stoicism she began to lose her grip on the others. That was until Po came and wrapped his giant arms around the Furious Five, bringing the crew close together and giving them the love they needed, especially Tigress.

Could you imagine parental therapy with the furious five? Tigress: my parents gave me up for adoption when I was just a cub and I was adopted by master Shifu who was always hard on me Crane: my mother was extremely overprotective of me and whenever I did anything related to Kung Fu she would have dangerous heart palpitations Monkey: my mother died from a heart attack when she woke up to see me and my brother fighting because he was planning to steal from her Viper: my father was always sad because I was born with no fangs and he wouldn’t let me go outside to the point where I was afraid to go out myself Mantis: my mother ate my fathers head before I was born Tigress:… Crane:… Monkey:… Viper:… Mantis: what? Also Crane kind of reminds me of Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat Both are Kung Fu warriors with cool hats that they can use as razor weapons, they both have attacks that utilise wind techniques, they both trained under two masters (Raiden and Bo’ Rai Cho for Kung Lao, and Shifu and Oogway for Crane), they both know one of the animal styles of Kung Fu (Crane obviously knows Crane style and Kung Lao actually knows Mantis Style), they both have a lot of confidence in themselves despite numerous fighters in their worlds mocking them and saying they are weak, they both are friends with the chosen one/dragon warrior (Liu Kung and Po), they both attended Kung Fu academies where they befriended the best students there (Liu Kang and Mei Ling), and they were both turned into undead slaves of evil by major villains in their worlds along with many of their friends (Kung Lao was turned into a Revenant by Quan Chi, and Crane was turned into a Jombie by Kai)

something about about viper saying "Don't move sweetie" and kissing Tigress head is INCREDIBLY CUTE!

I would’ve liked a 2D animated prequel or sequel series about the Furious Five bc they have very interesting stories and personalities. Also the potential using the beautiful 2D animation is THERE. But no, we got a series about random panda children???

My favorite parts about the furious five are 1- Tigress being a true leader and protector ....... 2- Monkey still playfully hilarious even after he left his mean pranking lifestyle ...... 3- Crane own his wisdom and bravery....... 4- Viper being very gentle and sweet , last but not least 5-Mantis being energetic and confident

You know when Po said, "You. Didn't get, a lot of hugs when you were a kid, did you?" and Tigress responded, "Hugs are for the weak!". I laughed quite hard but at the same time my heart sank a little.

Master Oogway knew the team which would form to be the furious five.... There are no accidents..

Interesting fact: 70% of mantis mating scenarios end with the male NOT being killed or eaten by the female. This is because male mantises spank, bludgeon, and otherwise bruise the female he aims to mate with, which makes her more willing to let the male mate with her. Given this fact, Mantis could avoid his father's fate well into old age. But yeah, female mantises are into the rough stuff. They like being bruised by aggressive males that are also cautious. Po's involvement in making the Furious Five is a nice nod to their overall destiny, the fact Tigress accidentally got Po's list of potential careers was a bit out of left-field.

Also I just now realized that Monkey and his brother are actually the story of Sun Wukong but with the character split in half. Sun Wukong part of the tale Journey to The West in it he was mischievous, fun loving rascal playing pranks on anyone from citizens to monks, and in some interpretations even the budha himself would tire of his antics. The story has many variations but all of them eventually becoming a respectable warrior after taking a long journey with the friends he found along the course of the story. It's a really fun parallel I just noticed.

Viper is just so elegant of course she was a dancer

What do you think of theorizes DreamWorks theory

Man, now i need a comic about child Tigres aproaching master Shifu just moments after Tai Long was taken down, i have a feeling that Tai made his little debacle only weeks between the scene where she is getting adopted and the one where she was training as a child, it would be cute and also heartbreaking seeing Tigres confused at what happened and Shifu trying to handle it.

What baffles me is that Shi-Fu was mad at Viper and Mantis, who unlike Caribe and Monkey, they had made reputations for being great warriors, specially Viper. After all she is the daughter of a great hero of Chine, and she alone took down a heavily armored Gorrilla, not so different than Boar. So really she was overqualified for the job.

Isaac: (calls Oogway a tortoise) Me: THANK YOU!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE CALL HIM THE RIGHT SPECIES!!!!

This was the most time i heard "But that didn't stop them from going to Tigres's aid when she stood her ground against Boar. Even after they've been turned away by Shifu, they all went to the battle, held Boar up until Tigress could regroup herself, and inevitably work together, to take down the threat to the Valley."

I remember once, i was pretty interested in computers and went to study for a computer science course when i went home and saw a fighting gym. Everyday whenever i went home i trained there, after some time i got good and landed myself an internship when tigress appeared at the company and recruited me while i believed i was gonna be performing a software checkup on the jade palace, i was actually gonna be fighting against a giant known as "boar". I helped her out even if shifu turned me away when tigress stood her ground and held him off until we inevitably worked together to defeat boar.

Now when you see it monkeys story is really heartbreaking. And it’s crazy how a origin or a kind hearted character can have such a heartbreaking past. That’s really interesting

Notice how are the end of everyone's story, the narrator repeats the very same script "that didn't stop them from going to tigress' aid....so that they could perfect their own style of Kung Fu..."

Oh my.... I didn't realize there was so much more to these characters. Very informative video. Thank you.

I’d like to hear you talk about the origin story of Astrid Hofferson from How to Train your Dragon And perhaps the remaining members of the guardians of childhood from Rise of the Guardians

The 2D animated art style of the backstories is pretty amazing.

I live for Kung Fu Panda content, thanks for giving it to us!

Somehow you are great at story telling without changing your tone because I almost cried for all of these fictional animals

So...no parents equals Badass childhood

What if Lightning Mcqueen never ended up in Radiator Springs?

Tai Lung's Escape was COOL!

Here’s a video that I really want to see you do Issac… The MESSY continuity of The Lion King Seriously people let’s not deny this…

Thank you for posting the video. I've always wondered about the backstory of the group of the five fighters.

The sad part about this is that they treated Po like how they were treated making him feel ashamed of himself and making him feeling unwanted and telling him he doesn’t belong there and telling him he is a disgrace to kung fu making fun of him and talking behind his back it just goes to show that you can become the thing you hated the most when given the power to do things no one else can…..a hypocrite and a bully

This franchise is a masterpiece!!!

Wow I didn't even know most of this backstory. Also as a big fan of Sun Wukong, I am disappointed that Dreamworks decided to make his such a villain.

I first watched your videos when I was in 1st year college and now i'm already working for 2 years I still continue to watch you. I feel like I grew up with you

This is a narration of the film "Secrets of the Furious Five." I know because I painted a lot of the backgrounds in this video. lol

Congratulations, you managed to connect two origin sagas,

I absolutely love how they can tell all these awesome stories and make them all tie into one huge and amazing story, it's just so amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖

Crane, stealthy warrior thanks to the ability to fly and fight Viper for reconnaissance and fighting for her speed and ability to wriggle into small spaces Monkey the lancer for his ability to think on the spot, and more of an acrobat Mantis combat medic Tigress the leader for the power and ferocity

I’m still want a furious five animated series set before the events of KFP 1 and explore the early days of the five and expand on some elements that were explored in loa and the movies and to an extent the comics

I don't know if anyone else said this but with Tigress there's actually something that doesn't make sense. In the first movie Tigress I believe tells Po or someone else that Shifu found her outside of the jade palace as a baby but in secrets of the furious five it says she was in an orphanage as a child until Shifu came into her life. That's two different stories on Tigress and how she became a student under Shifu.

I just can’t seem to understand how did she managed to confuse whatever was written on that scroll with a wish-list made by Po himself.

Shifu- Have you ever done this Mantis- hahaha No *Shifu turns into a balloon*

Hopefully one day tigress will find her parents or find out why they left her

Love how you tell these stories

I feel bad for mantis, being left at the alter but the person you love was only using you.

Why did Charles Monts want kill anyone else looking for the bird . Proving it exist at all would vindicate him

I like how you said the same thing at the end of everyones story🤣

The warriors of the true highest caliber. Yet they had come from sad, frightened, mundane and crushing origins. Tigress could've been another Tai Lung. Crane was seen as a tiny runt for years. Viper was a disgrace among her family. Monkey was just a heartbroken joke. Mantis was a hasty, ignorant fool. Po was merely a lazy, bumbling, silly man. But together, they each commanded a joint unshakable resolve to protect the innocent.

Have been waiting for this love ur vids

Goddamn. Monkey’s story was really happy at the end until his mother’s death. Heartbreaking.

Tigress is so cute when she's young

why is Crane's story similar to that film about a water boy becoming a football player (his mother was dismissive about "fusball") as well as "Coco" (the male lead's family was anti-music)

There was 10 years between the first movie where Po became the dragon master and ( the secrets of the scrolls ) where the Furious five became one team , in those 10 years Po was trained enough by his father to became an excellent chef and Mantis was trained enough by his personal passion to became an excellent acupuncturist although they started by accidentally giving Shifu a food poisoning 😂

Imagine if tigress was a princess from some other land who was kidnapped/taken/given up at a young age. The last person to hold her dropping her off at the orphanage. It would explain why she’s caring to those she loves . While also kind to young kids.

I love the ku fu panda season I wish they would make a number 4

I love the fact that Oogway changed his smile to sad and this gonna go wrong.

Pause on Monkey running at 17:41. That is one heck of an image. XD

So we’re just gonna ignore that monkey’s brother is wukong… as in sun wukong the most powerful Chinese deity apart from the Buddha… The same monkey that rampaged through the heavens and even hell and no one had the power to stop nor kill until the Buddha had to intervene, and also the same monkey that served as the inspiration for goku from dragon ball z, yea ok got it, no big deal I guess lol 😂

Cant believe you forgot the most heart warming back story of them all...monke.... Monke mmm monke

The real question is what was tigres feeding on🤔

it's cool how before po was the dragon warrior he loved the furious five but he doesn't know he's the one who put them together

Mantis is my favorite character of the Furious Five, he's just funny and what the writers did with that one bridge fight scene was hilarious.

I think these Five’s stories are all interesting.

Isn’t it funny how po was the real reason that the furious five are the characters that we love and know?

Keep the good work

“You saved me… why?” “Mmmm, Monkey”

Nicely done! Most impressive writing and oration, I learned a lot that I didn't catch while watching the movies!

Well he just started it off with a tall glass of depresso espresso

Video definitely could've benefited from a bit more editing, but all in all I like videos that bring previous related videos together.

I Wonder who was intended for the original furious 5

Watching this 2 years later when a new kung fu panda movie i finally now there back stories.

Was this animation from a series I missed? It's delightful!

Bro! you are amazing. You just made my day.

Tigress-story is so sad

23:50 this is why you should always have food nearby so you can escape

Do The Full Story of Captain Gutt from Ice Age 4 please.

Thank you RU-vid I needed this.

Thanks for this.

thanks for the grasshopper jumpscare

monkey was so close to being kung fu panda 4's villain

But who are the warriors that Master Shifu requesting for aid???

You're awesome keep making videos like this

Um they are literal embodiments of five well-known martial arts styles The Way of the Tiger The Way of the Snake The Way of the Monkey The Way of the Crane The Way of the Mantis.

I love that Viper's eyes seem to get REAL big and happy right before she pokes Boar in the butt. XD

It’s interesting how king fu panda has such believably flawed characters

Viperbite is a green tree viper cybertronian with two small metallic lotus flower blasters on top of her head. Although she was created with ineffective venomous fangs, she compensates with her robotic strength and precision. Viper is the most outwardly compassionate and the leader of the Five Furibots. Tigresser is a South China tiger cybertronian. She was initially the most resentful of Optimus Prime when he was chosen to be the Autobot Warrior instead of her, and the most vocal in her contempt. Craneslacker is a black-necked crane cybertronian and the most patient of the Five Furibots. He serves as a robotic scout and lookout in combat situations, as well as a means of transport for the other members of the Five Furibots. Should any of the Five Furibots fall from a great height, Craneslacker will appear to break their fall. Monkeyman is a golden snub-nosed monkey cybertronian with a thick Chinese accent, and the most humorous of the Five Furibots. He was the first to recognize Optimus Prime's determination, and the first to refer to Optimus Prime and Bumblebee by their names. Unlike the other members of the Five Furibots. Mantisprayer is a Chinese mantis cybertronian and the smallest of the Five Furibots. He is, however, the strongest proportional to his size, and can move at superhuman speeds.

I've watched your videos when I was a kid and I loved your theories and stitch videos

I had the dvd of this so i know all about it

20:39 Mei Ling is super underrated

l never knew the backstories of the furies five was this sad🥺🥺🥺

This explains why the furious five where upset that po got the title of dragon warrior but as time went on they accepted it. They hated po at first and it is understandable why but now they have become his friends and i think po changed their lives as much as yhey changed his ❤

I knew this already but I love this dude's content plus it was 29 minutes so I just watched it.

I love how they end up finding true love with family , friends and bright future as the heroes of China 💖 especially Tigress after Shifu truned into a better father finding his inner peace and her friends grow closer to her over time

I think having this as their origins really helps explain why they were so dismissive of Po in the first movie all of them had natural talent when it came to king fu in comparison to Po who was clumsy and incompetent he didn’t have that natural talent

If The 4th Movie's Plot/Story,Villain,Themes Etc. Aren't Centered Around Tigress It Already Fumbled
