Panda, an Abrupt-Mutation Cursed Corpse engineered by Tokyo Jujutsu High’s principal Masamichi Yaga, operates as a self-aware entity with emotional depth and intellect. His existence hinges on three internal cores: the balanced "Panda" core, the power-focused "Gorilla" core, and the dormant "Triceratops" core, the latter rendered nonfunctional after its destruction in a clash with Mechamaru. These cores grant him transformative abilities, though the Triceratops form’s potential remains unrealized.
Originally communicating in stilted, mechanical speech, Panda gradually cultivated a sharp-witted personality marked by dry humor and composed pragmatism. He employs levity to ease conflicts, exemplified during his Kyoto Goodwill Event duel against Mechamaru, where he feigned core destruction to outmaneuver his opponent. His camaraderie with peers like Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Yuta Okkotsu underscores his role as both teammate and morale booster during missions.
Physically resembling a giant panda, his stature shrank post-battle to a diminutive, cub-like form following the loss of two cores. His cursed corpse composition grants exceptional resilience, surviving assaults such as Mechamaru’s Ultra Cannon. Gorilla Mode amplifies his physical prowess at the cost of rapid cursed energy depletion, channeled into the "Unblockable Drumming Beat" technique to strike through defenses.
Notable engagements include the Shibuya Incident, where he aided civilian evacuations and faced pseudo-Geto, and the Culling Game, during which Hajime Kashimo obliterated his Gorilla and Triceratops cores. Reduced to a severed head, Kinji Hakari’s intervention stabilized him temporarily via cursed energy infusion. By 2035, he entered stasis within the Gojo family warehouse, though whispers of sporadic motion persist. Decades later, in 2080, he engages Yuta Okkotsu’s grandson, dryly critiquing the youth’s demeanor.
Trained by Yaga, who disclosed the presence of core-bound "siblings" of unspecified origin, Panda harbors a fondness for hoarding panda-themed items and prefers calpas to bamboo. His identity as a unique entity fuels subtle irritation when non-panda creatures garner undue attention, reinforcing his distinction from both humans and ordinary cursed corpses.
