Panda and Megumi Fushiguro coordinate a stealthy plan to infiltrate Kinji Hakari’s underground fight club and secure a meeting with the elusive, suspended sorcerer. Meanwhile, Yuji Itadori takes a more direct route, attempting to approach Hakari himself to negotiate for his help in the Culling Game.
Panda explains to Megumi that Hakari’s ally, Kirara Hoshi, possesses a mysterious cursed technique that functions similarly to Satoru Gojo’s Infinity — creating an invisible barrier that prevents anyone from reaching the fight club’s monitoring room. This ability complicates their strategy, as Kirara can isolate and control movement within the facility.
Believing Yuji’s natural charisma and sincerity might be able to win Hakari over, Panda encourages him to play it cool — while also warning that if things go wrong, a backup plan must be ready.
