Why in Database: A two-season series (although sometimes considered a single season, in two parts), 26 episodes in total, 13 per season. Turtles appear here in two main forms. First all, the main turtle of the entire Kung Fu Panda series, Oogway, plays a minor role. Secondly, we meet a new team of four Pandas who have received the powers of four old masters, referred to as four constellations. They come from traditional Chinese symbolism, we have a blue dragon, a red phoenix, a white tiger and a black Tortoise (shortened by us to BT). We are, of course, interested in the Tortoise! He appears in the form of flashbacks, in the form of sculptures, mentions in dialogues, of course, and we also meet him in person when action moves to the Spirit Realm. The power associated with him, which Bao wields, allows the user to create protective shields of Chi energy, which take the form of purple energy shaped in the likeness of a turtle shell.
