Who is Panda?
A talking panda who is in fact a cursed corpse built by the school's principal, with three cores instead of one and a personality closer to a sensible older brother than a mascot. He handles the first-years with patience, brawls with enthusiasm, and is quietly the only student who knows what he was made for.
Appearance
A large talking panda who wears the school jacket and moves with the ease of someone entirely comfortable being looked at. In combat his proportions shift as he changes cores, and the cuddly silhouette stops being reassuring very quickly.
Personality
Level-headed, funny, and the most emotionally settled student at the school. He mediates between the second years, mentors the first-years without making a thing of it, and treats questions about what he is with good humour rather than defensiveness.
Background
Built by principal Masamichi Yaga as a cursed corpse, with three cores rather than the usual one, which is why he can think and speak for himself. He is frank that he was made rather than born, and treats Yaga as a father without the word doing much work.
Role in Jujutsu Kaisen
Fearsome Womb
Introduces the first-years to the school's odder realities and takes their measure in training.
Kyoto Sister-School Exchange Event
Fights Mechamaru in the group battle and reveals how much of his construction he keeps in reserve.
Origin of Blind Obedience
Supports the younger students as the war widens.
Abilities and techniques
Cursed corpse body
A constructed body with three cores, each governing a different mode of fighting.
Gorilla Mode
Switches to a core built for raw power at the cost of control and durability.
Core resilience
Damage to one core does not end him, which makes him far harder to put down than he looks.
Relationships
- Masamichi Yaga
- Creator
- The principal who built him; the relationship reads as parental on both sides.
Notable moments
- Revealing his second core mid-fight against Mechamaru.
- Explaining his own construction to the first-years without any self-pity.
- Keeping the second-year trio functional through the exchange event.
Trivia
- He is a cursed corpse with three cores, which is why he has a personality at all.
- He refers to the principal as a father in passing, and nobody treats it as a joke.
