| Did Oogway teach you that little trick? Too bad. It only works on mortals, and I am a Spirit Warrior. |
| —Kai to Po |
A Spirit Warrior is a warrior's spirit who has escaped the Spirit Realm[1].
Description[]
In "Kung Fu Panda 3," Kai has luminescent green eyes. This is possibly related to his use of others' chi and their transformation into jade warriors.
In "Kung Fu Panda 4," their physical appearance remains unchanged but outside of the Spirit Realm, their bodies are surrounded by a golden aura that represents their Kung Fu.
They are corporeal and can interact with mortals. They themselves are not mortal, however, which is why the Wuxi Finger Hold failed to return Kai to the Spirit Realm. If the technique is used on a mortal, however, a spirit warrior can be brought to the spirit realm by the resulting burst of energy.
Since Po enters and leaves the Spirit Realm while remaining mortal, becoming a Spirit Warrior may require being in the Spirit Realm for an extended period of time, possibly long enough to outlast their normal lifespan. Po and Oogway became enlightened as mortals and wielded an immense amount of chi, giving them the ability to move between the realms as mortals. Kai used Oogway's chi to do this despite not possessing the ability to do so himself so it is likely that Oogway could have become a spirit warrior or chose to live in the spirit realm as a mortal.
Abilities[]
Spirit Warriors are ethereal beings, and thus are beyond age, illness and most forms of physical harm. However, they are not beyond destruction. They also have highly developed strength, mobility and resilience, far beyond the likes of "mortals". Naturally, they are immune to techniques like the Wuxi Finger Hold that only work on mortals. It is likely any spirit warrior would be skilled in battle and kung fu, hence the name Spirit "Warrior".[1]
