After burning down a village, Shan-Yu stands among the ruins with his falcon, Hayabusa. Later, [[Mushu]] tells [[Sora]], [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Mulan]] how he saw Shan-Yu enter a cave near the [[Village]]. As the party heads into the cave, they fall into a trap, and when they return outside, they witness how Shan-Yu had attacked and burned down the village. The party follows Shan-Yu to the mountain's summit, where Mulan uses fireworks to cause an avalanche, swallowing Shan-Yu and his army of [[Heartless]].
Shan-Yu possesses an army of [[Heartless]] at his command and plots to overthrow [[The Emperor]].


Mulan notices Shan-Yu had survived the avalanche, and is headed towards the imperial palace. As the party catches up with Captain [[Li Shang]] to warn him, his soldiers transform into Heartless. After taking care of them, the party finds Shan-Yu holding [[The Emperor]] hostage, but Li Shang knocks him back, and brings the Emperor to safery, leaving Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mulan to protect the palace doors and fight Shan-Yu, eventually defeating him.
Shan-Yu first appears at the beginning of the world with his falcon, Hayabusa. He had burned down a village and was standing in the ruins. He next is seen by [[Mushu]] walking into a cave outside the village [[Sora]], [[Mulan]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] were in. In order to prove herself to Captain [[Li Shang]] she entered the cave followed by the others. However, it was actually a trap. While the heroes are trapped in the cave battling Heartless, Shan-Yu attacks the village, burning it, and turning everyone into Heartless except for Captain Li Shang, [[Yao]], [[Ling]], and [[Chien Po]], who managed to survive. Once the party sees the destruction they charge to the summit of the mountain to encounter the Hun. Although he charged with a mass army of Heartless, Sora and company destroy most of them and Mulan's quick thinking sends Shan-Yu and the rest of the Heartless over the edge of a ridge in an avalanche.


{{canon|width="70%"|In the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' manga, While Shan-Yu gains control of the Heartless and creates an army of them through the darkness in his heart, his army is made up of his compatriots. Through [[Xigbar]], he learns about the power of darkness and receives a fraction of it in exchange for his help. When he rushes at the mountaintop with his people to attack Sora and his friends, his soldiers transform into Heartless. After he frees himself from the snow caused by the avalanche, he summons the [[Storm Rider]]. When he is defeated and the Storm Rider is destroyed, he asks Xigbar to give him more power over the darkness, but is killed by him for his failure.}}
After surviving the avalanche, Shan-Yu attacks the Imperial Palace and distracts Sora with a group of Captain Shang's soldiers, who were actually Heartless. But he is defeated by Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mulan in a climatic battle. After his defeat, Sora receives the [[Hidden Dragon]] [[Keyblade]].

==Personality==
==Personality==
Shan-Yu is a cold-hearted, cruel warrior, ruthless in battle. He cares for himself and his army only. He is aggressive, violent, and rather silent, having no more than five lines in his appearances. He cares greatly about causing chaos and depression. Like his people, Shan-Yu is trained in living off the Earth, possessing heightened senses and a saker falcon as his pet. He's rather cunning and manipulative, luring Sora and his friends into a trap so he can destroy the village without their aid with the others.

He is feared by almost all of China, and makes a point to ensure that everyone knows it. He is also known for his rather dark sense of humor.

==Trivia==
* Directly before fighting him, he is seen to glow with an eerie purple light similar to the light that glows around [[Scar]] when the latter started becoming a Heartless.
* In the manga, his battle with [[Sora]] is very similar to his battle with Mulan in the film. The main difference is that Sora, who's furious with Shan-Yu for not being able to talk to [[Riku]], knocks him off the palace roof, and Shan-Yu is then shot in the head by [[Xigbar]].
