Gorilla Mode

Gorilla Mode (ゴリラモード) is one of Panda's abilities as a Mutated Cursed Corpse that allows him to switch to a Gorilla Core and utilize the strengths of his power-type brother.

Description
Normally there is only one core that acts as the heart of a man-made Cursed Corpse, but an Abrupt Mutated Cursed Corpse like Panda possess three cores. By switching to the Gorilla Core, the user can change their body into a power-type fit for close combat and short battles.

Along with greatly enhanced strength and speed, Gorilla Mode provides the user with an attack known as the Unblockable Drumming Beat. Gorilla Mode's attacks are unblockable because each strike resonates and damages the target despite any guard used against it. However, this power comes at a cost as Gorilla Mode consumes a lot of Cursed Energy very quickly.

Usage
Masamichi Yaga, Panda's creator, describes the Gorilla Core as Panda's brother and believed it would always be their to lend Panda strength. In Panda's bout with Mechamaru, his other two cores were damaged and he was forced to rely on Gorilla Mode to survive Mechamaru's Ultimate Cannon. Not only was Gorilla Mode able to brush off the blast, it was able to effectively counterattack and completely crush Mechamaru's Ultra Shield using the Unblockable Drumming Beat.

While Mechamaru was able to trade blows with Panda in his balanced form, just two Drumming Beat attacks from Gorilla Mode were enough to defeat him completely.
