Shen's parents are two of the three overarching protagonists (alongside Po's mother) of Kung Fu Panda 2.
They are two royal peacocks and rulers of Gongmen City who created fireworks, and had a child named Shen, who used to always play by his father's throne and has promised to one day inherit it. However, they both found out that their son would use fireworks for warfare to take over China.
Biography[]
They were two peacocks that lived in Gongmen City. When Shen wished to use the gunpowder in the fireworks to make into his cannons, his parents were worried and contacted a Soothsayer. When he overheard the Soothsayer foretelling his parents that if Shen were to continue his path of darkness, he'd be defeated by a "warrior of black and white". Rather than set a better goal, Shen instead leads a massacre on an innocent panda village to avert the prophecy. With the massacre complete, Shen returned to his parents with a very disturbing and very creepy look of pride on his face. But his parents were horrified that their son would do such an evil deed. As punishment, Shen's parents banished him forever, but Shen swore revenge that he'd return one day, and all of China would bow to him.
Presumably, shortly after the banishment, Shen's parents died of despair and broken hearts, giving their power to the Kung Fu Council. Shen's parents were eventually avenged when Po defeated Shen when the villain was crushed by his own cannon and killed in the explosion.
They are only seen in the intro and later the credits. They are two peacocks only seen in artwork. While in the film, they are mentioned when Soothsayer reminds if Shen follow his way they will be satisfied or not, how they loved Shen, and they sent Shen away for good and later died of despair. To which Shen skewed her sayings by believing that they sent Shen away because they hated him, before Shen fires Soothsayer.
