![]() Besides his strength, he also possessed a superhuman amount of endurance, having survived being buried in an avalanche for what is implied to have been for hours with no apparent ill effects, something that only 5 other Huns managed to survive. He possess superhuman strength (perhaps second only to Chien Po). He can break down a barricaded door with no effort and simply slice a massive pillar to shreds with his sword. ![]() Shan Yu is a hardened fighter and a lethal combatant, armed or not as shown where he overpowers Shang in a fight. As soon as he recognises that Mulan is "the soldier from the mountains" he forgets about Li Shang, considering him to be insignificant in comparison, and tries to kill Mulan instead. Shan Yu is also notable for being one of the only people in the movie who does not underestimate women. As he and his men was later revealed to have managed to completely wipe out the Imperial Vanguard presumably withough any significant casualties at his end, this confidence may have been perfectly justified. In this instance, he even claims that the Emperor "invited" him. He also decides to head straight for the mountain pass that would lead him straight to the Forbidden City, knowing full well that the entire Imperial Vanguard is guarding the pass and completely rejecting the option to simply go around the mountains and avoid the enemy army. Later, he allows one of the Chinese spies to return to the Forbidden City, smugly telling the spy to inform the Emperor to send his best troops to face the Huns. Such examples include his attack on the Great Wall, where he allowed a lone sentry to light the signal fire, sending word to the Emperor and giving him time to mobilize the Imperial Army. ![]() Shan Yu is also supremely confident in both his and his army's strength and superiority, often deliberately allowing his enemies the advantage in order to prove his might. He is also shown to be merciless even to defenseless individuals, as evidenced by his murderous smirk when he suggests that he "return" the doll to its owner, as well as being implied to have killed the owner of the doll as well as her entire village. The archer then draws his bow and replies, "One." Ultimately, only one scout delivers the message, implying that the archer killed the other. He even makes jokes about it: After capturing two imperial scouts and sending them to deliver his challenge to the emperor, he asks his lead archer how many men it takes to deliver a message. He proves that it is not below him to kill his enemies in cold blood to prove his strength. Shan Yu is among the most ruthless and merciless villains ever seen in the Disney universe.
