"Finally! A Worthy Opponent! Our Battle Will Be Legendary!" is a memorable quote by character Tai Lung from 2008 animated film Kung Fu Panda. Since 2016, the quote has been circulated as an image macro and an exploitable by Spanish-speaking users. In February 2019, the format reached mainstream attention on Reddit, with memes referencing individuals challenging others to a fight, often while overestimating or underestimating own power.
