Odds or Even?
Kujaku Hime Kada (孔雀姫 華陀), aka Peacock Princess Kada, was one of the 4 Devas of Kabuki District かぶき町四天王. She is the real main antagonist of the Kabukicho Four Devas Arc
Background
Kada was one of the 4 Devas of the Kabuki District, as well as the 4th captain squad of Harusame Space Pirates, she lead an army of Shinra race mercenaries. According to Jirochou, she also lead an army of Yato and Dakini race.
It was revealed in Episode 215 that she made off with huge sums from Harusame's coffers and escaped to Earth to evade their capture.
She went to Earth with the intention of taking over Kabuki district just like Housen took over Yoshiwara. She opened Gambling stores and casinos in the Kabuki district with the plans of influencing the district with money. However her plans were delayed as Doromizu Jirochou saw through this and he controlled the Yakuza with force.
Kujaku Hime Kada was one of the four people who ruled over the Kabuki district when it was divided into four fractions.
Later Kada finally mader her move and demanded that the fraction that provokes a war in the Kabuki District is to be destroyed immediately by the united forces of the other three Devas. While pretending that she merely wished to get rid of Jirocho, who represented the Yakuza as a member of the four Devas, she actually intended to involve every fraction in a war so she could ambush all of them and take over the Kabuki District. In the end it was her fraction that was destroyed when Gintoki and Jirocho slaughtered her subordinates and chased her out of the Kabuki District. With not a single solider left, Kada escaped the Kabuki District but was then captured by Kamui, who imprisoned her for betraying the Harusame.
Appearance
- Height = 167cm
- Weight = 51kg
Kujaku Hime Kada has long, blue hair. Light-red eyes and a red mole on her forehead. She has long ears which give her an elf-like appearance and is usually seen with a green and blue fan. She is often see wearing an ornate Chinese robe.
While it's not confirmed, Kada may be a Shinra (one of the three most powerful races of Amanto, along with Yato and Dakini). The Shinra that Kada used to fight Gintoki and Doromizu Jirochou had a very similar appearance to Kada including pointed (Namek-like) ears and a dot on their foreheads. No female Shinra were seen to confirm a comparison. It should also be noted that the anime colored the skin of Shinra differently (more blue) than Kada's.
Personality
She was shown to be quite sadistic when she ruthlessly beat Hasegawa after he spoke out of line.[1] She is very manipulative and calculating, and quite intelligent. She mapped out a complicated plan to defeat the other three Shitenou. She took advantage of Jirochou's daughter and kidnapped Saigou's son to force the Shitenou to fight each other. After her defeat, she was shown to be in a jail cell maddened and compulsively playing a gambling game in which she would predict her visitor's luck.[2]
Strength & Abilities
A skilled professional gambler herself, she operated most of the gambling outfits in Kabuki District.
Despite this, Kada has shown no fighting ability herself, however her fan has some hidden blades, which she used as a sort of like bomerang when she threw her fan on Hasegawa and catched it with her hand. She also intended to fight Chin Pirako when her subordinates were killed by Pirako, so it can be assumed that Kada is not a non-combatant. In fact she might be fairly strong, as she was not just one of the 4 Devas of Kabuki District かぶき町四天王, but also the captain of the 4th squad of the Harusame, meaning that she had a higher position than Kamui before he became the admiral, although he is among the absolutely strongest people in the entire series.
Kamui described her as a "cursed gambler" who has the power to make a person run out of luck instantly. He believes that when playing Odds or Even with her and you lose, something bad will happen.
Story
Kabukicho Four Devas Arc
Kujaku Hime Kada, a.k.a Peacock Princess Kada, was one of the 4 Devas of Kabuki District かぶき町四天王. A skilled professional gambler herself, she operated most of the gambling outfits in Kabuki District. She is very manipulative and had a rather complex plan to defeat the other Shitenou.
Roughly, her plan consisted of kidnapping Saigou Tokumori's son and using him as a hostage to force Saigou to fight with Otose's group, while also manipulating Doromizu Jirochou's Daughter to use Jirochou's forces to attack Otose. While all three of the groups waste their strength fighting each other, she planned to use her own forces to eliminate all of them.
Simultaneously, she saw through Doromizu Jirochou's plan to kill her when she was alone, so she reserved a legion of Shinra to remain with her to corner him.
She revealed herself to be a member of the Harusame pirates and after her defeat at Gintoki and Jirochou's hands, she was imprisoned on one of their ships as penalty for stealing money from them.[3] It was through Takasugi Shinsuke's intervention that she got captured after her fall from being one of the 4 Devas of Kabuki District.
Trivia
Her name is likely based off of a famed Chinese Healer named Hua tuo, which in Japanese is pronounced Kada and have the exact same Kanji writing.
