* TheWorfEffect: As proof of what a serious threat the villains of the story are--Exhibit A: the Wu Sisters come this close to defeating [[MemeticBadass Tai Lung]] during their first encounter, [[spoiler:nearly kill [[TheChosenOne Po]]]], and do succeed in beating [[ActionGirl Tigress]] the first time they meet her; Exhibit B: Vachir gives an absolute NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Tai Lung at Chorh-Gom and succeeds in holding Tigress hostage; and just before the FinalBattle, during Heian Chao's series of [[BreakingSpeech Breaking Speeches]] to the kung fu warriors, we see from Tigress's POV just how powerful the shadow mage's chi is, since he comes quite close to breaking [[{{Determinator}} her]]. In the end, though, all of this merely allows for multiple examples of HeroicSecondWind as Xiu is eventually defeated by first [[TookALevelInBadass Po]], then Tai Lung, Vachir is dealt a fatal blow by [[spoiler:Tigress]], and not only is Chao killed, but his army [[spoiler:of demons]] is taken out by the Five, led of course by Tigress.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Played with. The revelation that Chao [[spoiler:has [[AnIcePerson power over ice chi]]]], which is both [[{{Foreshadowing}} Foreshadowed]] and makes perfect sense for such a powerful master of chi, ends up not mattering when he has to face [[spoiler:[[RedOniBlueOni the pairing of Tai Lung and Po's Fire and Water chi]]]]. Also, while the protection which Oogway has Shifu set up over the Jade Palace as a barrier between Chao and the Heroes does come out of nowhere, it too ends up being fairly insignificant in the FinalBattle: although it prevents the BigBad from possessing or outright controlling his opponents, he's still quite able to use dark chi to horrific effect on [[spoiler:Tigress and Jia]], as well as strongly influence both [[HotBlooded Tai Lung]] and [[HeroicBSOD Po]]'s emotions. The barrier [[DramaPreservingHandicap only provides the Heroes enough wiggle room to still fight]], with it being the combination of Tai Lung and Po's chi and kung fu [[spoiler:and Tigress throwing [[HolyBurnsEvil the Golden Spear]]]] that finally does Chao in. Even [[spoiler:the Urn of Whispering Warriors being able to [[SealedGoodInACan release]] [[BadassArmy the Warriors of Tenshu]]]] and [[spoiler:the Sword of Heroes being able to seal [[SummoningRitual gateways to the underworld]]]], as useful and sudden as these abilities seem to be, aren't precisely played straight, seeing as this [[AuthorsSavingThrow doesn't contradict]] anything revealed by the movie, the KFP website, or ''Art of Kung Fu Panda''.
