Upset

The lower-ranked entity beat the higher-ranked one. The record and the ladder disagree.

Panda vs Kokichi Muta

The winnerPandaJujutsu Kaisen · rank 29
13 places
BeatenKokichi MutaJujutsu Kaisen · rank 16

The upset is real, and almost all of it is about which body was in the fight. Muta's row is built from a later form, a lifetime of stored cursed energy spent once against the curse he had sold the school to; what Panda took apart was a puppet worked from a remote location. The record says Panda can beat a body worked from afar at close range. It says nothing about the form the placement rests on, which is why the order stays as it is.

Sold the school's movements to a curse for a body that worked, and was given one before the fight, having spent his life in a bath at a remote location and a puppet he drove from the far end of the country. Then put every hour of cursed energy he had collected since birth — seventeen years, five months and six days of it — into one form, and took it to the curse he had sold them to.

What this does not settle

One fight in one work. It is the only result the record gives between these two, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
