The Mystery of the Panda in Jujutsu Kaisen, Is It Really a Real Panda?
Mytips.id, GEEK - The vibrant and enthusiastic portrayal of the characters in the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen has captivated fans worldwide, who appreciate these characters for their relatable and engaging personalities.
It can be said that these characters may be a key factor behind the extraordinary success of the great work of Gege Akutami.
Among these diverse characters, Panda, a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, stands out for his literal panda appearance.
Throughout the series, Panda has emerged as a fan-favourite character due to his cheerful and humorous personality. Despite being a semi-Grade 2 Jujutsu sorcerer, fans often wonder whether Panda is actually a real panda or not.
About Panda in Jujutsu Kaisen
Panda made his debut in episode 5 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 1. He quickly became a favourite in the fandom, particularly due to his silly personality and sense of humour.
However, because of his appearance, fans, as well as some of the characters themselves, questioned whether he was actually a panda.
It was eventually clarified that despite his appearance, Panda is not actually a real panda. He is a Mutated Cursed Corpse created by Masamichi Yaga, the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High School.
When he was young, Panda spoke in a somewhat robotic manner. As he grew older, he developed his own unique personality and enrolled in Jujutsu High School as a student.
Panda is considered the most advanced Cursed Corpse in the world of Jujutsu, hence his natural interest in Jujutsu sorcery. He has proven himself to be a skilled fighter, capable of repelling curses relying solely on his own strength.
However, Panda's main strength has also proven to be his greatest weakness - his cores, which essentially serve as his heart. He can easily be defeated if his opponent destroys all three of his cores.
To conclude
Despite his intelligence and physical attributes, Panda's calm and cheerful personality allows him to get along with anyone. He is rarely angry and extremely sarcastic, even in the midst of battle.
Although sometimes exuberant and overly silly, Panda is also very mature and sensible.
Even after witnessing the execution of Masamichi Yaga, who could be considered his creator and father figure, he never holds a grudge against the Jujutsu High School authorities and continues his usual cheerful demeanor after a brief period of mourning.
All these qualities make Panda a beloved character, as he is often regarded as one of the best characters in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen series by fans. Although he is currently absent from the battle against Ryomen Sukuna in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, fans hope to see him return in the upcoming chapters.
