Bye-bye (バイバイ Baibai?) is the one hundred and eighty-fifth chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.
Summary
Panda is the youngest of three siblings and has always had his brother and sister to look after him. Gorilla never appreciated Panda's weakness but their sister tries to change his perspective. However, due to the damage Panda sustained at the hands of Hajime Kashimo, it may be time for the siblings to say goodbye.
Plot Details
Panda's big sister angry with their brother for bullying him.
Within a fantasy world representing Panda's relationship with his sibling cores, a young version of Panda is being battered in a play fight with his older brother, Gorilla. Panda calls on their sister, Triceratops, to come to help him. Triceratops tells Gorilla that it's their little brother's turn to hit back but he responds to Panda's attempt at throwing a punch with a brutal left hook that angers their sister and leaves Panda crying.
Later on, Panda is bullied by two other kids into throwing his favorite ball into a river while Gorilla sits idly by. Gorilla calls Panda stupid for doing so and the latter cries because he only did it to play with his big brother and the other kids. Triceratops arrives again to find Panda crying and becomes irritated with Gorilla. Back at their home, she talks to Gorilla and reprimands him for not standing up for their little brother. Gorilla argues that Panda is spoiled and cries to get his way with his big sister. However, Triceratops counters that argument by claiming Gorilla is spoiled by Panda's willingness to constantly forgive him. Panda arrives at the house and shows off a beetle he caught, but it's a dangerous one so Gorilla immediately throws it away.
The Panda siblings are forced to part ways for good.
That night, Gorilla counts up the money he's saved to get Panda a new ball. He tries to remember what color it was before falling asleep and assures himself Panda would be fine with any color. However, Gorilla is woken up by their father (representing Masamichi Yaga) and taken away along with Triceratops. The father explains that they can't stay with Panda anymore while the youngest brother searches frantically for his siblings. Gorilla begins to panic and explains that Panda can't survive on his own. The father replies that they're the ones being left behind by Panda and asks his siblings to say goodbye as they all cry hysterically.
Hakari arrives in time to rescue Panda!
Back in reality, Panda's entire body has been destroyed, save for his head. Kashimo's attack destroyed both Panda's sibling cores and left his head in a pool of cursed corpse blood and stuffing. Kashimo points out that he didn't receive any points, leading him to believe his opponent must still be alive. He sticks Panda's head on top of his staff and demands he tells him about Sukuna. Stubborn til the end, Panda refuses to say anything and Kashimo prepares to end him once in for all. Suddenly, Hakari descends from the sky behind Kashimo with an excess of cursed energy flowing from him, crushing a shipping container as he lands atop it. Arriving just in time to rescue his partner, Hakari jokingly asks if Panda has lost some weight. Panda is excited to see him and even Kashimo is intrigued by the newcomer.
