The Wakandans are alerted that an artifact was stolen by Klaue and is set to be sold to an unknown dealer in South Korea. In London, Erik Stevens steals a Wakandan artifact made of vibranium from a museum and gives it to Klaue. T’Challa, given the heart-shaped herb by Zuri, ingests it and is able to visit an ancestral plane where he can speak with his father, and after their conversation, he officially takes the throne and becomes the Black Panther. M’Baku, played by Winston Duke, of the Jabari tribe challenges him, but in the end, M’Baku yields, and T’Challa becomes the King of Wakanda. In present day, following T’Chaka’s death, viewers are introduced to T’Challa right before his coronation, which includes a ceremonial event where any tribe in Wakanda can battle T’Challa for the throne.
