In the thriller fantasy fiction webtoon Hand Jumper, Sayeon, driven by her ambition to rid the world of its sins and corruption, unknowingly walks down a dark path with her iniquitous actions leading the way. The world is Sayeon’s chessboard, a tactical game where only one side is meant to win, and she intended to checkmate all evil wrongdoers. Except… which side was she on? Previously in Hand Jumper, Juni sends Sayeon and her team on a basic patrol around the city, which turns completely upside down, inside out, and miles away from basic. Father Hope and Heron, whom Sayeon had defeated, turn up in the same area. He’d stopped Heron from attacking Sayeon, promising a bigger fish- a high-level Sea Wolves official- to reel in. What insanity unravels in Hand Jumper Chapter 81-87?
Hand Jumper Chapter 81: On the Scent
Hand Jumper Chapter 81 begins as Sayeon’s team and Father Hope and Heron, both outside in their own groups, simultaneously detect an Aberrant’s aura in the vicinity. Although tracking auras wasn’t reliable- Aberrants could easily conceal it- some Aberrants, like Ryujin, could naturally sense essence. Among the naturally gifted, some had honed the supernatural sixth sense to perfection- like Father Hope- and were called detectors.
Easily, Father Hope pinpoints the source of the aura, earning admiration for being a ‘human radar’ from Heron. When he advises Heron to cultivate the skill himself, the implication of his death whizzes over the naive boy’s head.
Cloaked in Father Hope’s invisibility shield, they approach the source: Yesol Na, the youngest and newest Sea Wolf captain. He marvels that they’d traced down such an important figure, until it becomes evident that they hadn’t tracked her down; she’d lured them to her.
Target Acquired…?
Yesol explains that she was looking for a child and had decided to challenge his possible kidnapper by being out in the open. Father Hope notes her recklessness while Heron admires her ingenuity. Father Hope remembers the one interaction they knew about her- someone had sent a young girl to bribe her, and Yesol had foolishly murdered her in a public cafe. After the incident, the Sea Wolves had to lie low for a while.
Heron, the perfect match for her skills, appears and attacks with his essence sword. Miraculously, Yesol dodges the attack with lightspeed reflexes and exasperatedly realizes she was playing ‘whack-a-mole’ with the Aberrant and his repeated disappearances.
Meanwhile, a young boy runs through the city, sobbing for Yesol. He regrets ever trading the safety of his quarters at the Concordat, where he’d begun to feel cramped, for the hate on the streets. He had been too weak an Aberrant to wield any power, but had to stay out of the public eye nevertheless. In his panicked frenzy to find Yesol, he runs right into Sayeon, concluding Hand Jumper Chapter 81.

Hand Jumper Chapter 82: Pieces, Points, and Peril
Hand Jumper Chapter 82 begins a few minutes before Sayeon came across the young Aberrant child. Juni had told Sayeon to run if they came across another Aberrant immediately; cell four wasn’t ready for a team fight, and she couldn’t carry the entire group by herself. But Sayeon, being Sayeon, decides to move towards the aura instead. She places trust in Ryujin’s essence-detecting skills and promises that they’d simply observe, not engage. “No fighting, no risk… and if we discover anything, we’ll still earn points,” she says.
Ryujin angrily tells Sayeon not to patronize her, but storms off in the right direction anyway. She was the last piece of the game to fall under Sayeon’s control. She needed her, and everyone else, to execute her plans. ‘Without all the pieces in place, there’s no way we’ll survive a team fight,’ she thinks to herself. Ryujin was the only piece she didn’t have.
Meanwhile, Yesol has Heron, a predictable fighter, completely impaled into the alley wall. She asks for his relic- a present from their godling ancestors- but he just seems puzzled. Yesol realizes that he had another friend with him, and on cue, Father Hope strikes out at her. She instantly recognizes the more experienced fighter’s virtuosity. Suddenly, she catches an Aberrant essence flare up; Changsub, the young boy, was in trouble. Hand Jumper Chapter 82 concludes as Yesol realizes that she didn’t have time for her petty skirmish anymore.

Hand Jumper Chapter 83: Paying Off A Debt
Hand Jumper Chapter 83 begins as a younger Yesol perches on the edge of a balcony with a cigarette. She explains how she’d lost all hope after her father’s death, “There’s no point in waiting for tomorrow. Because I will always be me, and this world will always be the same.” The Concordat had saved her from her defeatist attitude, earning her loyalty forever. She would pay the debt she owed; Yesol would always protect a member of the Concordat.
Ryujin, years younger, slouches against the balcony with her characteristic gloom. She grouchily points out that the Concordat hadn’t saved her; Yesol had escaped on her own. Yesol clarifies that they’d given her a reason to live and without them, she’d have done anything to anyone: “There’s nothing more dangerous than someone all alone.”
In the present, Changsub yells at cell four to leave him alone: they were from the Corps, and they might hurt him. While Ryujin hunts for the stronger source of essence, Sayeon analyses the young boy’s interestingly weak aura. Changsub desperately tries to warn them of Yesol- they were in serious danger when she arrived- but none of them listen.
One Father Spared, One Son Killed
Meanwhile, Yesol, knowing that she couldn’t very well see her opponent, decides to obliterate everything instead. She claps her hands together and creates shards of blue essence that shoot out in every direction, destroying everything they touch. The general public scattered at the explosion in panic while Yesol examines the mass damage with no hint of remorse. She looks down at the mangled body of Father Hope while Heron watches in shock. Was he alive?
Suddenly, three knives shoot towards Yesol, as Father Hope makes one last effort to end her. However, her essence-reinforced body makes the blades look like tiny needles. She might not have refined expertise, but she made up for it with sheer wealth of essence. Calling him a ‘sly, old fox’, Yesol raises a shard to kill him, when Heron accidentally starts to call out his name- Father Hope- and stops in the middle. The older man had told him not to call him ‘Father’ in public; no one needed to know he was a priest. As a result, all Heron blurted out was the word ‘father’.
Thinking she was killing a father in front of her son, Yesol immediately spares him mercy and hovers away. She wasn’t going to kill him, not after the same thing happened to her. Plus, her main concern was Changsub- she wouldn’t spare his kidnappers.
Hand Jumper Chapter 83 concludes as Iseul, while talking to his team and Changsub, abruptly gets beheaded.

Hand Jumper Chapter 84: The Queen and Her Pawns
Hand Jumper Chapter 84 begins as Sayeon sits on a boardwalk, flipping through a journal filled with complicated symbols. Iseul curiously walks up behind her, levitating the book towards himself and reading through the book- Sayeon’s ‘contingency plans’- with confusion. She grabs the journal and tosses it into the water without a second thought; she’d already memorised everything. Everyone’s strengths, their personalities, and the best strategies, taking everyone into account.
She thinks about Ryujin: she was incredibly adept at detecting aura. Sayeon knew Ryujin could sense her lies because of the mismatch between her words and actions. “But you’re not like that, Iseul. You’ll trust me to the very end,” she says.
I’m Never Wrong… Right?
Minutes before Iseul’s decapitation, Ryujin had sensed Yesol’s presence. They’d decided to leave before running into the detected Aberrant; however, Sayeon decides to bring the boy with them. Ryujin fixes her with the stare that Sayeon had gotten countless times from her classmates, teachers, sister, and friend- I don’t get you. Ryujin tries to make the headstrong mastermind understand that Changsub had his own life and family, and they couldn’t just take him.
‘Could it be that I’m wrong?’ Sayeon wonders, ‘Or… compared to those around me, am I simply seeing things from a higher perspective?’ Just when she asserts that it was fine if no one understood her, Iseul’s head gets lobbed off (feels like the universe is trying to say something, maybe?). Back at the boardwalk, Iseul had told her to prioritise herself over him. “I’m happy to be a pawn,” he’d said.
In the present, Yesol begins to attack them with her shards, telling Changsub to run, while Ryujin grabs Sayeon by the shoulders and tries to shake her back to reality. Sayeon realizes that she was the most important piece, not because she was the leader, but because as long as she was alive, they hadn’t lost. She snaps her fingers, concluding Hand Jumper Chapter 84.

Hand Jumper Chapter 85: This Isn’t Enough
Hand Jumper Chapter 85 begins as Sayeon strategises, putting herself in Yesol’s shoes. Obviously, she’d attacked Iseul first before- he was the closest to Changsub. But afterwards, instead of attacking everyone from a distance, she’d moved closer to ensure the boy’s safety.
After snapping again, Sayeon pushes Iseul out of the way of the shard in time, which Min then shatters with his green blades. Yesol directs multiple shards at them, which haphazardly zigzag towards them. Ryujin’s hand gets cut off before Sayeon directs Min to attack Yesol. When he takes a swipe, her concentration breaks, which shatters the remaining shards.
Sayeon gathers the information: the more shards there were, the less efficient they were; if Yesol lost concentration, her shards broke in response. Plus, Ryujin had detected her fight with someone else previously- she was tired. They could win this fight!
Abruptly, the Aberrant zooms away on a hoverboard. Sayeon realizes that she’d just come to rescue the child, she didn’t need to finish the fight (is that disappointment?!). While Ryujin reattaches her hand, Iseul notices Sayeon’s ‘scary face’. He optimistically says that Changsub had made it out alive- they’d done enough! ‘How could this possibly be enough?’ she wonders, concluding Hand Jumper Chapter 85.
Hand Jumper Chapter 86: Anything For the Win
Hand Jumper Chapter 86 begins as Sayeon looks at Iseul, whose head had been cut off, and Ryujin, whose hand had been detached, and wonders how they could leave the fight here. She knows her teammates would redo the scenario if they had a choice. ‘I will drag us to level five if I have to, ‘ she thinks, snapping her fingers again. The scene replays, and she pushes Iseul away from Yesol’s shards again, asking him to run to Juni for help. Then, with him out of the way, Sayeon runs to Changsub.
Iseul would have objected to her idea of taking the boy hostage. On top of that, the situation was already risky. Their opponent was close to the child, and if any of them didn’t display true intent to harm him, Yesol would never fall for the hostage ploy. Who could fake it? It couldn’t be Iseul, Ryujin would never cooperate, and Sayeon couldn’t afford to tie down Min. That left Sayeon herself. She brandishes a knife that Juni had given her before their mission and holds it to Changsub’s throat. She couldn’t pretend because Yesol would kill her if she did. Sayeon had almost been killed before, so she could do it again. She would kill Changsub- it didn’t matter because she’d rewind the clock- until she got what she wanted.
Yesol watches Sayeon in horror when suddenly Ryujin steps up. She holds her hand to Sayeon’s head and begs her to stop, concluding Hand Jumper Chapter 86.

Hand Jumper Chapter 87: Is That Who I Think It Is?
Hand Jumper Chapter 87 begins as the Sea Wolves offer young Yesol, whose deceased parents were also Sea Wolves, a position with them. Yesol loyally starts to deny- the Concordat had saved her- when Ms. Heo, the head of her nest, tells her to accept.
You could find peace and quiet in the Concordat… but Yesol had never wanted that. “This is an offer you’d be stupid to pass up. None of you orphan brats have ever refused it before,” the Sea Wolf says, and then thinks of Ryujin, “Well, almost none of you.” So, Yesol had accepted the offer and promised to never return to her nest again.
Years later, Yesol had heard news that a Concordat nest- her nest- had been raided by the Aberrant Corps. Specifically, it had been ‘obliterated’ by a Gyeon twin, a level nine officer. Tears escape Yesol’s eyes as she angrily thinks of the injust and inhumane ways of ‘those stinking crows’. She’d wanted to see Ryujin again. But now…
Bloodstained White Flags
In the present, Yesol immediately recognizes Ryujin, who holds her fingers to Sayeon’s head. Meanwhile, a green blade rests less than a centimeter from Ryujin’s head, and without looking, she knows who it is. “You’re nothing but Sayeon’s attack dog, aren’t you?” Ryujin grits out to Min. Simultaneously, Sayeon internally continues to justify her actions. Yes, she was going to kill the child- she had to! But it wasn’t really murder; she was going to rewind time anyway. Why did Ryujin have to mess up her perfect plan?
Suddenly, Min is blindsided by an attack that pierces his stomach. Sayeon whips around to see Iseul, who stands with various objects hovering in the charged air around him. He was ready to attack. Yesol attempts to reach Ryujin when blue essence ribbons catch hold of her. Juni pops up behind her, concluding Hand Jumper Chapter 87.
