Chapter 184

is the one hundred and eighty-fourth chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.
== Summary ==
Separated from Hakari, Panda is unsure of his next move. As soon as he decides to stop playing it safe and be a panda, he unfortunately happens upon none other than Hajime Kashimo.
== Plot Details ==
 
In the Tokyo No. 2 Colony, Panda sits alone atop a shipping container in a shipyard dock next to the sea. He tells himself that just for this moment he's a harmless teddy bear instead of a Panda. The scent of blood is strong in the air and he can smell several dismembered people nearby. The residuals left behind by the perpetrator are weak but Panda understands that a skilled sorcerer likely did so purposely. He ponders his role in combating the Culling Game and laments that he and Hakari were instantly separated. Hakari was meant to do the fighting while Panda was just going to track down the angel. Panda knows he should get moving but doesn't want to get spotted by other players. 
Dismayed by his own cowardliness, Panda has a change of heart and decides to roll off the shipping container onto the ground. He looks around and the coast appears to be clear, but suddenly none other than Hajime Kashimo happens upon Panda. Viewing Panda as a simple animal, Kashimo wonders if he escaped from Ueno Zoo. Panda tries to walk on all fours as a cover but Kashimo asks his Kogane if Panda is a player. Kogane confirms, surprising Panda, who was unaware Kogane could be used to identify other players.
 
Panda quickly stands back up but by that time Kashimo has already closed the distance between them. A single punch is enough to punch a hole clean through Panda's abdomen while also shocking him with an electric current. Kashimo follows up by using his staff to send Panda crashing into a shipping container. Panda notices that Kashimo's cursed energy has the characteristics of electricity, making his attacks unguardable. He activates Gorilla Mode and strikes with an unblockable attack of his own, but Kashimo is able to withstand it and even breaks Panda's arm off. Unimpressed, Kashimo calls Panda average while avoiding his next attack.
 
Kashimo throws Panda's dismembered arm at him to block his vision. Panda assumes Kashimo is going to circle around his blind spot and swings behind him. However, Kashimo threw the arm as a simple diversion and continued to attack right behind it, tricking Panda. Kashimo pummels Panda with rapid-fire punches and then palm thrusts him into another shipping container. With Panda near defeat, Kashimo rectifies his earlier taunt by calling Panda super weak instead of average. He asks if Panda knows where Sukuna is, surprising the latter. Panda wonders what Kashimo could possibly want with Sukuna and denies knowing anything about him to protect Yuji. Pausing to think about it was enough to tell Kashimo that Panda knows something about Sukuna. 
Kashimo offers to spare Panda in exchange for information on Sukuna but he refuses. Panda changes into the form of his big sister, a Triceratops with a timid personality that will destroy anyone in her path to hide her embarrassment. Kashimo immediately takes the offensive before Panda has a chance to show off the strengths of his big sister's form.
Kashimo attacks by separating the charges of his electrified cursed energy and applies the positive charge to Panda. The negative charge is discharged from Kashimo directly to Panda without losing any power to the ground, resulting in a bolt of lightning that rends the air and can't miss without aid from a domain. The lightning blasts the upper right side of Panda's body into pieces, utterly defeating him. Victorious in brutal fashion, Kashimo watches Panda's blood spray across the ground and asks where Sukuna is located.
