His light-heartedness and humility, great respect for Kung Fu and justice and his loving heart is what marks him as truly worthy of being the Dragon Warrior and allows him to overcome the likes of Tai Lung, Shen, and Kai. He is also capable of learning things very quickly with the right motivation, as shown in the first film, and has memorized a vast amount of knowledge about kung fu, even being reliable enough to teach a class on his own.
Po also displays an action-craving attitude along with a natural affinity for humor, and isn't above acting clownish and dishing out quips, even making fun of himself, in order to entertain others. Imaginative and adventurous, he continues to act excitable and marvel over his heroes even after he has become the Dragon Warrior, at times leaving them embarrassed by his behavior.
As Po tends to be less serious and disciplined than other masters, he also tends to think more outside the box, and will find different, creative ways to solve a problem if need be.
Po has also broken some rules and traditions as well as still having a habit of breaking physical things , though this is often unintentional. Po's lack of discipline and flippant personality often give him an unintentional advantage over his enemies, since, combined with his appearance, it causes them to disregard him or struggle to take him seriously, so they are often shocked when he proves to be a tenacious and incredibly skilled warrior.
One of the recurring plot lines in the television series is Po's struggle to not let his title affect his ego. Throughout the series, he is shown to have many adoring fans and he welcomes the attention, occasionally to the point that it begins to negatively impact his duties or those around him. Despite this, he also possesses the self-awareness to realize when he has made a mistake, and is willing to accept responsibility for his actions.
Though having grown more confident since becoming the Dragon Warrior, Po nevertheless has moments of intimidation and self-doubt. Even as he tries to talk tough, this boisterous behavior tends to become more comical than threatening, and is perhaps a front for the panda's insecurities. Despite this, Po does have a sense of dignity and defiance, as shown in the first film when he argued with Master Shifu as he tried to leave the palace, and in the second film when he argued with Tigress in order to seek out Shen.
Additionally in the second film, Po was revealed to be rather stubborn when it comes to admitting his problems, even to his friends, as he developed confusion about his own identity after learning he was adopted by Mr. Ping, and seeing visions of his biological parents. This inner struggle showed that Po tries to stay true to his idea of a strong "hardcore" warrior who is unaffected by emotions.
He was also persistent enough to not heed the warning of his friends and endanger himself in order to find answers about his past.
However, after finding the truth about what happened to his parents, the panda was able to let go of this dilemma by retaining an appreciation for the life he had led, and achieved inner peace by not letting tragedy define who he was. In the third film, as Po is continuously pushed to his limits, first by Shifu making him the Master of the Furious Five and then the arrival of Kai and subsequent defeat of most of his friends, as well as having found his biological father and having to please both him and Ping, Po finally starts to reveal how for all his light-heartedness and optimism, he is not without limits.
While confident in his fighting ability, Po is forced to relfect inwardly and rely on his mind and spirit in order to fully understand himself and, therefore, master Chi. He approached the challenge enthusiastically and diligently, but learning Li had lied to him in an attempt to protect him, the guilt of failing his friends and master and remorse of having chosen to fall to his father's deceit finally battered Po to his limits: He displayed an uncharacteristically dark side to himself which first manifested in the form of furious bitterness at both his father figures for having clouded his sense of justice, disowning Li as his father and ignoring Ping when he asked him to run away, before soon displaying his self-loathing and immense regret of having failed as the Dragon Warrior by outright lashing out to Tigress and stating he doesn't really know whether he can stop Kai but he was just so lost in grief and guilt that he believed he just had to do it.
It seemed to have had a lasting effect on him in that even after his father redeemed himself in his eyes and Po forgave him, as after learning that the Wuxi Finger Hold doesn't work on Kai normally, he didn't hesitate to use it on himself to forcibly banish Kai along with him to the Spirit World.
This along with the fact that Po never tried to give Kai a chance of redemption nor did he show any fear unlike when he normally approached non-serious and even serious situations showed just how deep-rooted the blow of having failed his friends and responsibility as the Dragon Warrior had broke him and how it paved the path to a previously unseen level of darkness inside Po.
He seemed to have accepted his fate even after he defeated Kai and showed no interest at first in leaving the Spirit World until Oogway reminded him of his responsibilities. Having accepted fully that he was the Dragon Warrior and Oogway's successor, Po's sense of duty swiftly snapped him out of whatever remained of his dark stupor and he didn't hesitate to return to the real world, afterwards displaying full acceptance of the responsibilities of being both the Dragon Warrior and a master of Chi.

Po being stopped by Shifu from leaving the palace. Po confronts Shifu on this claim, stating how Shifu never believed in him, and had been trying to make him quit. Po revealed that he had been hurt both inside and out, but had stayed because, to him, it was better than living every day just being himself.
When Po demands to know how Shifu planned to make him into a warrior capable of defeating Tai Lung, Shifu admits he didn't know. Discouraged, Po again seeks comfort in food and ravages the kitchen in the barracks, punching through cupboards and drawers, even doing a perfect split at one point.
When Shifu sees this, he finally understands how Po differs from the Five, and how he can use this perceived weakness as a teaching tool to motivate and train Po. Using food to motivate him, Po's skills and strength begin to develop. As a final test, Po must steal back the dumpling that Shifu is keeping from him.
In the end, Po is able to beat Shifu, and they two bow to each other in mutual respect. Despite putting up a courageous fight , Tai Lung had defeated them using a nerve attack. Crane had been permitted to return with the wounded Five in order to scare Po, but Shifu assured him that he could beat Tai Lung—with the help of the Dragon Scroll.
However, when Po opened the scroll, everyone was shocked to find it was nothing but a golden, reflective surface that was completely blank. Po being awarded the Dragon Scroll by Shifu.

He made his way back to the Jade Palace, and arrived just in time to save Shifu.
Tai Lung laughed at the claim, and Po smugly revealed that he the Dragon Scroll in his possession. This lead to a back-and-forth struggle for the scroll which soon turned into a battle that spread down into the Valley, both Po and Tai Lung trying to get the Dragon Scroll as it fell from place to place. Physically, Tai Lung was stronger, faster and more agile, however, by using all of his own trials and tribulations he kept the kung fu prodigy at bay.
Despite Po's ongoing success, Tai Lung manages to get a strong kick crashing the Dragon Warrior into the ground and then fell down on him with enough force and momentum to leave a crater. A defeated and momentarily stunned Po watched Tai Lung get a hold of the scroll and open it, only to be shocked that it was blank.
Po reveals to Tai Lung the meaning behind the scroll, that in just believing you are special is enough. Infuriated, Tai Lung throws down the Dragon Scroll and uses his deadly nerve attack on Po, but it doesn't work on Po due to his girth.
Again, the two fought, Po besting and outsmarting Tai Lung again and again, developing his own improvised style in the process. His greater durability proved to infuriate the angered Tai Lung.
Eventually, Po catches Tai Lung in the Wuxi Finger Hold and uses it on him, sending a massive golden shock wave throughout the Valley of Peace and beyond. When the Furious Five and villagers return to see that Po defeated Tai Lung, they cheer and bow to him, accepting him as the Dragon Warrior.
Po was modestly pleased, but quickly remembered that Shifu was hurt back at the palace. He rushed back and found Shifu still injured, and told him he had defeated Tai Lung.

Po was instructed by Shifu to teach a class of new kung fu students, made up of rambunctious rabbit children. Shifu told Po that it may very well be the toughest challenge he's ever faced, and left a dubious Po to teach the class himself. After calming down the excited group, Po told them stories of how each of the Furious Five learned the secrets of kung fu.
When Shifu returned to check on Po's progress, he first thought that Po had taught the rowdy students that kung fu is all about fighting; but after hearing the children point out the lessons of having patience, courage, discipline, compassion, and confidence, Shifu found that Po had taught them well, and allowed him to keep teaching the class. Wo Hop attacking Po with a wooden spoon. The Furious Five were surprised when Po told them this news, and offered to help him prepare for the sophisticated dinner.
However, Po was confident that he could do it himself, and was excited about the chance to host the formal gathering. But soon enough, he became overwhelmed by the many tasks of preparing for the Feast, and was burdened further by not being able to have his father come to the event. After accidentally rejecting and disgracing a rabbit chef named Wo Hop with the "Hun-Shu Wave of Dismissal", Po decided to intentionally dismiss the other chefs trying out for the Feast by tasting and saying their dishes were awful and he later offered the job to his father, along with the Golden Ladle , in hopes that the two of them could spend the holiday together.
However, Mr. Ping refused, stating he couldn't be away from the restaurant and let his customers down. After Po told him he couldn't be home during the holiday, Mr. Ping grudgingly told him to to the palace feast, resulting in Po feeling guilty. Afterwards in the palace kitchen, Po was challenged by Wo Hop to a fight to the death in order to restore his honor, and the rabbit chef made several attempts to attack Po and end his own life, the panda preventing him from doing so again and again.
After several disasters including the kitchen being set of fire and an ice dragon sculpture being beheaded , Po fell into despair, believing that he had disappointed everyone.
After a comment from Wo Hop about kung fu being unable to solve everything, Po decided to call on the Furious Five and Wo Hop to help him in his preparations for the Feast. With their extra efforts, everything came together just in time. Tending to a last-minute detail, Po left to fetch some ground jasmine and saw the village houses decorated with colorful lanterns, and was sullen at seeing families together for their own feasts. Later, when seated with Shifu, the Five, and the visiting kung fu masters at the Jade Palace, Po was complimented by Shifu for creating the perfect feast.
However, Po himself was unhappy as he sat with his fellow masters, and found that he could not enjoy the ceremony, as much as he admired the kung fu heroes present. He explained to them his own traditions of having fun with his family, friends, and neighbors during the holiday.
He then politely excused himself much to Shifu's dismay , and then ran off to join his father at the noodle shop. Po, Shifu , the Furious Five , Mr. Ping , and Wo Hop posing for a portrait.
At the shop, Mr. Ping was pleased to see him, and apologized to Po for making him feel guilty, and Po offered to help him cook.

The Furious Five and the visiting masters later showed up at the restaurant and took part in the festivities as well. Po also presented the Golden Ladle to Wo Hop whom had shown up to try and attack Po again , restoring honor to him and his home village.
Shifu also came to the noodle shop, still upset that Po had "ruined" the palace feast, but upon seeing the happy celebration taking place inside, Shifu came to appreciate Po's decision.

Some time after defeating Tai Lung , Po is finally living his dream, having proved himself as the Dragon Warrior and earned the friendship of the Furious Five.
However, Shifu reminds Po that there is still much to learn. In the Dragon Grotto Shifu shows Po the technique of catching and guiding a water droplet without breaking it. Shifu explains that achieving inner peace was the only way this technique could be mastered, and that it was the next step in Po's training.
But before finishing the lesson, Po and the Five were called into action to protect Musicians' Village from bandits. Po and the Five worked together to drive off the invading pack of wolves , but as the battle neared its end, Po noticed a symbol on the wolf's armor.

Po bids his father goodbye as he and the Five leave, but his troubling thoughts follow him through their travels. One night while sleeping on a river in a small boat, Po dreams about his parents replacing him with a radish, and wakes in distress.

They escape, however, and return to Gongmen Jail. The Five, particularly Tigress, confront Po on why he let Shen escape. Po struggles to reveal his feelings in front of the others but finally admits to his need to know where he came from, and that Shen knows about his past.
Tigress sympathizes with him, but due to Po's emotional involvement, insists that he stays behind. Unbeknownst to the Five, though, Po sneaks into the cannon foundry , thereby ruining their plans to blow up the building. Po finds Shen and demands answers as the Five struggle against Shen's minions to reach Po.

Taking advantage of Po's shock, Shen fires a cannon at Po and sends him flying out of the factory and into a nearby river, where he drifted unconscious and badly injured. The current eventually brings him to an abandoned village where he is rescued by the Soothsayer. When Po awakens, the Soothsayer shares the story of how she had long ago foreseen that Shen would be defeated by a warrior of black and white , and how that relates to Po's present and past.
As Po looks around the village, more memories arise. The Soothsayer advises Po to stop fighting his memories and to let them flow, and in doing so, Po finally remembers what really happened.
In his memory, he saw his parents happily living with him in the village when he was a baby, and saw Shen and his wolves attacking the villagers. Using raindrops, Po manages to perform the same water drop technique Shifu had demonstrated and uses them to guide his memories. He sees that his parents had not abandoned him, as Shen claimed, but had both risked their lives to save him.
