Nukuocon (ヌクオコン, Nukuokon) is a Private Guard of the Second Prince Camilla and the one formerly in charge of killing the Eighth Prince Salé-salé through a Nen curse.[1]
Appearance[]
Nukuocon has slicked-back fair hair, round eyes, long eyelashes, and a square chin. They wear the standard uniform of Camilla's private guards.[1]
Personality[]
Like their Have-Nots comrades, Nukuocon is a staunch supporter of Prince Camilla. They would go as far as to sacrifice their life to curse one of the other Princes in order to secure their Prince's position as the Kakin's newest King.
Plot[]
Succession Contest arc[]
Upon hearing Musse's gunshots, Nukuocon tries to rush to the room where he and Prince Camilla are, but they find the doors locked. After Sarahell knocks them open, they burst into the room, guns at the ready.[2]
At the Supreme Court on Tier 1, Supreme Magistrate Cleapatro presides at the hearing between Prince Benjamin and Prince Camilla. Acting as Camilla's lawyer, Nukuocon says that Camilla was fighting in self-defense after being fired upon by Musse. She adds that after Musse fled, Camilla pursued him and shot at Furykov and Wolfe because their guns were pointed toward her and she feared for her life. She again emphasizes Camilla's use of self-defense and argues that Benjamin and his personal army hand over Musse for the attempted assassination of Camilla.[3]
Nukuocon defending Camilla
As Nukuocon reveals that they are also filing a suit against Benjamin on the suspicion of ordering the assassination, Balsamilco objects as Benjamin's lawyer. He points out that the dozens of shots fired at the unarmed Benjamin were excessive, adding that they are not harboring Musse. Nukuocon then requests that Benjamin's quarters be searched, and Balsamilco quickly requests that the same be done to Camilla's quarters. Cleapatro calmly says that they will ask the Royal Army to perform a search of both quarters. They add that until Musse is found, both Princes will be put under surveillance and confined to the VVIP area. They conclude by saying that their protection service can continue as usual, but they will assign an escort to accompany all outings, quickly saying that the court is adjourned as they use their gavel.[3]
A few days later, Nukuocon and the other personal soldiers of Prince Camilla attend a meeting called by Sarahell about the recent suicide of Shikaku. The focus of the meeting was the possibility of Shikaku also being able to cast a Nen curse similar to their own.[1] As their curse target, the Eighth Prince Salé-salé, was assassinated by Yushohi,[4] Sarahell reassigns them and Cavic to spy on enemy camps to find out if they have any exorcists on their side. This task should help them not cause any trouble for Prince Camilla.[1]
Abilities & Powers[]
Nukuocon has some degree of skill as a defense attorney since they represented Camilla during her trial.[3]
Nen[]
Nukuocon is a Nen user and can cast the same curse as the other Have-Nots in Prince Camilla's employ.[1]
| Nukuocon's Nen Abilities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Type: Unknown | Yomotsu Hegui (つじつま合わせに生まれた僕等 We Who Were Born Out of Convenience) | |
| A haunting type curse that is unique to the Have-Nots of Kakin. The user must carry an object connected to the target, such as a photograph, along with a dagger, and must think of the target every day. On the day they want to cast the curse, they must burn the object, drink the infusion of the ashes, and commit suicide with the dagger. The curse will deprive the target of their aura and, in the most powerful cases, kill them in a few hours.[1] Months, if not years, of preparation, are necessary for the curse to grow strong enough to kill the target successfully, and even then, a few meters of distance from the target can change the moment of their death from two weeks to three months. It is however estimated that the user killing themselves while close enough to touch the target and looking them in the eye will result in a powerful curse even if not enough time has passed by normal standards. The ability draws power from post-mortem Nen and the user's resolve.[1] | ||

Trivia[]
- It is unclear if Nukuocon really was the guard who defended Camilla in Chapter 376. Since the attorney's features notably differed from Moswana's and Sarahell's design had already been shown in Chapter 373, the information is included in this page.
- The furigana name of the Have-Nots' curse is derived from Japanese mythology, specifically to Izanami's inability to leave the underworld due to having eaten of its food.
- The kanji name of the curse, "Tsujitsuma Awase ni Umareta Bokura", is derived from a song by Amazarashi.
- Viz localized the curse's name as "Dust in the Wind: Hell Fruit".[1]
