## List of Battles & Events

**Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki & Panda vs. Suguru Geto** is a battle fought by Tokyo Jujutsu High students Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Panda against special grade curse user, Suguru Geto.

## Prologue

After learning about the special grade vengeful spirit Rika, Suguru Geto orchestrates the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in order to isolate Yuta Okkotsu. He explained to his comrades at the Night Parade that their chances of victory in a full-scale war were less than twenty percent. However, if Geto could obtain Rika, this would become over ninety-nine percent with a single move. He knows Yuta is too much of a risk to deploy for the Night Parade and infiltrates the school, killing several managers in the process, in order to kill Rika's owner and claim the Queen of Curses for himself.

Geto creates a curtain around the school and both Yuta and Maki feel something is amiss. Maki confronts the curse user in the courtyard but Geto expresses his dismay about being confronted by her. Maki asks why he's at the school but Geto summons several centipede-like curses and tells her he doesn't have time to waste on "monkeys".

In Shinjuku during the Night Parade, Satoru receives a report from Ijichi on Yuta's background. This makes him wise to Geto's scheme and Satoru teleports Toge and Panda back to the school. They're transported above the curtain, which Panda breaks and then takes the shortest route to Geto. While standing over Maki's bloodied and defeated body, Geto senses a hole was made in the barrier and expects his adversaries to take five minutes to reach him. While Geto tries to decide whether to deal with the newcomers or not, Panda suddenly breaks through one of the walls and attacls the curse user. Getoquickly realizes that Panda took the shortest route to him by breaking through all the walls in a straight line from the point of entry.

## Battle

Panda throws several punches after coming out of the debris but Geto is able to sidestep them all. While Panda punches the ground and crushes it, he looks over and sees Maki severely mangled on the ground. This distraction allows Geto to land a hard roundhouse kick to the cursed corpse's face. He tells Panda to focus and follows up with a diving punch that drives Panda's head into the cracked ground. Panda is surprised that a summoner-type like Geto is a capable close combat fighter as well.

Before Geto can land another blow, Panda tackles him to the ground and creates a large dust cloud. Geto escapes first but Panda is close behind, now having activated Gorilla Mode. Panda attempts to crush his opponent with open-hand strikes but Geto avoids them and counters with long leech-like curses to keep the raging gorilla at bay. Panda destroys them all and Geto uses the diversion to get behind him. The curse user claims Panda's counter was predictable but the cursed corpse reveals it was just a feint to lead his opponent in close. With Geto within range, Panda actives Unblockable Drumming Beat and reinitiates his assault.

Geto attempts to block it with one of his curses but Panda smashes right through it and sends him flying. Geto rolls and quickly recovers, allowing him to avoid Panda's follow-up. Panda chases Geto as he continues to avoid strikes that tear up the walls and floor around them. Geto summons more leech-like curses and Panda tears through them again. This time, Geto uses the diversion to pick up Maki's spear and then throws the cursed tool through Panda's chest. The curse user admits that it was close but Panda repeats the same sentiment back to him

Suddenly, Toge jumps up from behind Panda and commands Geto to crumble away using cursed speech. This causes Geto's head to cave in and his body plummets several meters into the ground, appearing to kill him. The recoil from cursed speech causes Toge to cough up blood, but he tells Panda to check on Maki first. They check on her condition but Maki tries to warn them that Geto isn't finished yet. The curse user reappears with more uncanny curses, taking both his opponents by surprise from behind. He retaliates with an attack that shakes the school grounds, defeating both students instantly.

## Aftermath

Yuta notices the quake that shook the entire campus and goes out to check on what's happening. Meanwhile, Geto stands over the student's defeated bodies and expresses supreme joy. Incredibly touched by young sorcerers risking their lives to protect each other, Geto cries tears of joy and proclaims the world he invasions is coming to life right before him.

Yuta arrives on the scene and sees all his friends previously injured by the curse user standing over them. Geto expresses regret and claims he would prefer to spare Yuta, but he needs Rika for the future of the jujutsu world. Enraged by the state of his comrades, Yuta calls Rika forth, fully manifesting her for the first time. Geto warns Yuta that he's going to die but the young man replies by declaring that he's going to kill the curse user.

## Adaptation Differences

* Panda's fight with Geto is extended in the anime adaptation. In the manga, Panda is knocked down by Geto after getting distracted by Maki's injuries and then Toge immediately steps in. In the anime, Panda enters Gorilla Mode and they exchange several blows, ultimately culminating with Geto getting the better of Panda before Toge arrives.
