Okobore Town
- Name
- (Okobore-cho)
- Region
- Kuri, Wano Country (New World)
- First seen
- Ch. 913
- Name meaning
- おこぼれ (o-kobore) = 'leftovers, scraps, leavings' — literally what spills/falls over (零れ kobore, the noun of 零れる koboreru, 'to spill over / overflow'), with the お (o-) prefix. The manga glosses the name itself on-page: 'Okobore, the town of leftover scraps.' The place name IS its premise — a town whose people subsist on the cast-off scraps of the wealthy Flower Capital. Idiomatically 'okobore ni azukaru' means to get a share of someone's leftovers/windfall, which is exactly the town's economy.
Kuri, Wano Country (New World) · first appeared: Ch. 913
Profile
A destitute town in Kuri, Wano Country — “the town of leftover scraps.” Its residents live on the cast-offs of the wealthy and pay a coerced “protection tax.” Home to Otsuru’s teahouse. The poisoned river is the only water available, countered locally by Otsuru’s “evil-purging herbs.” Establishes the wealth/caste gulf of Kaido & Orochi’s Wano.
Etymology
おこぼれ (o-kobore) = “leftovers / scraps / leavings” — what spills or falls over (零れる koboreru, “to spill over”), with the honorific お (o-). The manga glosses the name on-page (“Okobore, the town of leftover scraps”): the place name is its premise, a town living on the cast-off scraps of the wealthy. The idiom おこぼれに与る (o-kobore ni azukaru, “to share in another’s leftovers/windfall”) names the town’s whole economy. See frontmatter etymology for sources. Confidence: high.
