Bucky

Bucky (コケピー), is the Chicken Devil (の), a devil that embodies the fear of chickens.

Appearance
Bucky appears as a headless chicken with a bow tie. He is able to speak despite the lack of a head.

Personality
Bucky has a cheerful personality, constantly joking and trying to get along with the students. Despite being a devil, he shows absolutely no antagonism or hostility to humans, though he does mention he’d have no hope of surviving on his own, which may hint at the pragmatism of being friendly.

History
At some point, Tanaka captured or otherwise acquired Bucky to become a class pet.

Chapter 98
Tanaka presented Bucky as a class pet, telling the students that in 3 months they’d have to kill him. Over this time he became a beloved pet to the class and they refused to kill him, even if he's a devil, to which Tanaka was elated, saying the real lesson was to value all life. Asa Mitaka tried to carry him to join in at recess due to him remembering her name, giving her clarity that the class do care for her. However Asa trips and falls on top of Bucky, collapsing his torso and exposing his entrails. As everyone went to bury Bucky they told Asa that Bucky would forgive her in heaven, unaware that all devils go Hell and back again to Earth. Afterwards, it is revealed that the Class president tripped Asa Mitaka in order to attempt for her to take all the blame on Bucky's death.

Abilities
As a Devil, the Chicken Devil possesses all of the standard devil abilities. However, since chickens are not very frightening to humans, Bucky is not very strong, showing no unique abilities. Unlike the superficially similar Pig and Fish Devils, Bucky has a normal human-level intelligence and the capacity for speech which allows him to interact with humans.

Trivia
