Muchana
CharacterMuchana is a physician on staff in the medical wing of Impel Down, the great undersea prison. His one notable moment came when he delivered the grim verdict on Luffy's poisoning after Magellan's attack.
Appearance
Black-haired and male, he wears the standard Impel Down outfit: a white suit, deep red gloves, and a shirt bearing the prison's emblem on the lapels finished with a black tie. His place on the medical team adds a doctor's mask across the lower face and a white cap marked with a small Impel Down symbol off to one side.
Personality
Very little of his character has surfaced. What is clear is that he grows visibly anxious in Hannyabal's presence, likely wary of drawing punishment from a superior officer.
Abilities
He brings genuine medical training to his post and appears thoroughly familiar with the toxins generated by the Doku Doku no Mi. In the prison's medical room, Bentham, disguised as Hannyabal, pressed him on Luffy's state following Magellan's assault. Muchana answered that no antidote could be brewed to neutralize so many of Magellan's poisons at once, leaving no means to save him. His name plays on the phrase "mucha na," meaning unreasonable, a nod to the impossible request to cure that poisoning, and the official VIZ translator informally rendered it as "Notta Magician."
