Panda vs. Yūji Itadori Match Card is Heating Up! Anime "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1" Episode 52, Seniors and Juniors Playing the Perfect "Crowd-Pleaser Panda" with "Great at Stopping Short lol"

Episode 52 "Fever" of the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1" has been airing sequentially since late night on January 29th. Yūji Itadori (CV: Junya Enoki) and Panda (CV: Tomokazu Seki) staged a rigged match that brilliantly deceived the audience, drawing laughter from viewers with comments like "Great at stopping short lol" and "They're holding back so much lol."

In Episode 52 "Fever," Yūji and Megumi Fushiguro (CV: Yūma Uchida) seek cooperation from Kinji Hakari (CV: Kazuya Nakai), a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School. However, Hakari is someone who had conflicts with the conservative upper echelons of the jujutsu world and is currently suspended, so there was a possibility that Yūji and his group, who are technically affiliated with the "Jujutsu High," might be unwelcome. Therefore, Yūji and his companions hid their identities and infiltrated the gambling match "Gachinko Fight Club Tournament" hosted by Hakari. Yūji ended up participating in a match.

Then, Yūji looked at his opponent and smiled, saying "So this is exactly what they mean by 'crowd-pleaser.'" The one who appeared was Panda, his senior who had infiltrated earlier. From there, the two began an intense battle to excite the crowd. While it appeared that Yūji was delivering a barrage of punches and kicks, in reality, he was only lightly touching his opponent with a "chon" to avoid hurting them. Panda, who was receiving the attacks, intentionally took exaggerated reactions in sync with Yūji's movements, pretending to be beaten, staging the battle.

Viewers online were getting excited about Yūji and Panda's excellent acting, commenting "Great at stopping short lol," "The chon-chon and woah are so cute," and "They're holding back so much lol."
