Appearance[]

In her Lightside form, Pakkun is a small plant Yo-kai that overall resembles a potted Venus flytrap. She has small stubby leaves and roots connected to her pot body, that act has her arms and feet. The "jaws" of the flytrap seem soft and act as a collar around her neck. Her face is a light yellow, with green eyes, rosy cheeks, and two small thorns.
In her Shadowside form, she becomes a far more monstrous version of herself and is a lot larger, and now called as Gaburiel. The jaws of the flytrap are a wide, gaping mouth with sharp teeth, and within her mouth are two eyes. She has a lot more roots acting as her legs, and two leaves acting as arms with five-fingered hands.
In addition to her two regular forms, she ends up in a form that is "neither Shadowside nor Lightside" and a disguise called Kaosake-onna, in which she resembles a human woman in a green coat, with very long, black hair, and speaks in a creepy tone.
Personality[]
Pakkun is a very soft-spoken Yo-kai, like Komasan, as her Lightside. She is also very protective as she pushed Azusa away from a falling building and took the full impact of it (which may have killed her, but she was revived by Matsu). She is also very sensitive to the word bad bugs, as she bit Sly after he said that, in a similar vein to Daiz getting mad when he hears sausage and crying when he hears ham.
Profile[]
Yo-kai Watch 4[]
Pakkun is involved in key quest number 1, which is part of Chapter 2. This key quest can be started by talking to a man whom is talking to a woman under a roof. Pakkun was said to be watching a lady from the shadows (presumably Azusa, more in the anime section), and consumed one of Fukurou's blow darts to save her, but caused Pakkun to turn into Gaburiel and starting attacking young men (since Azusa called them bugs, and due to her being a Venus Flytrap). After being defeated, she befriends the group.
Pakkun can be found in Soukenzan. She can be freed from the Yo-kai World Crank-a-kai with a Gasha Coin, Five-Star Coin, One-Star Coin or Y Coin as a free prize. He can also be found in the Gutsy Bones and Goldy Bones battles in Enma Tournament - Oni Arena as well as in the Dameboy, Hyakki-hime (Shadowside) and Shien missions in PuraPura Blasters.

During the event that coincided with the airing of SS049, Pakkun can be found on a hidden stage you access via beating Stage 10 of the map using Umataro.

In the anime[]

Pakkun's plant form.
Pakkun debuted in SS007 where she was responsible for attacks as Kaosake-onna among civilians which alerted the Yo-kai Detective Agency, later arriving and defeating Pakkun in her Shadowside form.
It is also revealed in the anime that she first started out as a normal Venus flytrap that was cared for by Azusa, the owner of a flower shop, despite the fact no one wanted to buy her. Azusa would always speak harshly to the flowers, giving them the impression that she hated them, but Pakkun felt that she actually really did care about them. One day, she had a vision of Azusa being crushed by a building on her way home, and from the desire to be strong enough to save her, she turned into Kaosake-onna and lost control of herself, which then lead to the events of the episode.
Pakkun is first summoned in SS020 as one of the audience watch Filmlin's movie, but fled out of the house afterward due to how scary the movie is.
She is summoned again as her Shadowside in SS024 to play as the bad guy along with Junior (who assumed the form of Redhead) to help Hana Poncho seem like a hero.
She is summoned again in SS028 where she saved Tate Adams, Tank, and Kouji from a fall, along with Sly and Junior, which was due to Sebas-chan's machinations.
She appears in a cameo in SS034 where she is seen in the flower shop watering plants.
In SS046, she, along with Mushbarber, Charlie, Lucky, Ikarin and Jinta were seen trying to flee from The Gloom, but they all got infected and wreaked havoc on Springdale as their Shadowside forms. It is currently unknown what happened to them after Acala Exalted killed Overseer.
Etymology[]
"Pakkun" (Japanese: パックン ) is derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia "pakupaku" (Japanese: パクパク sound of munching). It should be noted that Bruno named her after Pakkun Flower (Japanese: パックンフラワー Pakkun Furawā), the Japanese name for Piranha Plant, a flytrap-like enemy of the Mario series.
"Gaburiel" (Japanese: ガブリエル Gaburieru) is derived from the onomatopoeia "gabugabu" (Japanese: ガブガブ sound of gulping something down) and the name Gabriel.
"Kaosake-onna" (Japanese: 顔さけ女 Kaosake-onna) literally means "Slit Face Woman", deriving from the urban legend Kuchisake-onna (Japanese: 口裂け女 "Slit Mouth Woman").
Trivia[]
- She is voiced by Aya Endō, who also voices Komasan in his present form.
- In the Chinese release of Yo-kai Watch 4++, Gaburiel has an altered design where the inside of her mouth is yellow and orange. This change is most likely so that it doesn't resemble flesh.
