Yougara

Profile

Yougara — a name raised on p. 5 of Ch. 973 by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi as their guess for the spy Kaido referenced among Oden’s retainers during the Kozuki fall: “I bet that spy Kaido mentioned was Yougara,” “Yougara might as well have been the one who killed Lord Oden!!” Named only — no individual is identified or shown on-panel, and the true traitor’s identity is deliberately withheld this chapter .

Arc-by-arc updates

• A name thrown out by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi during the retreat as their suspicion for the spy Kaido mentioned — “I bet that spy Kaido mentioned was Yougara” (p. 5). No person is identified or depicted; the real traitor’s identity is withheld this chapter.

Notes

• Etymology done : “Yougara” is not a name — it is VIZ’s rendering of ゆガラ (yu-gara), the male Mink-tribe second-person pronoun (‘you’ + the male-mink suffix 〜ガラ; females use 〜ティア). Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, both male minks, are accusing each other of being Kaido’s spy (“I bet that spy was you”), not naming a third retainer. Cf. VIZ Ch. 815 “So yougara are Straw Hat Luffy!” (Nekomamushi → Luffy = “So YOU are…”). See frontmatter etymology.
