Trivia

 * A variant of her name makes up the first part of the word "bacularia", another name for the genus linospadix; which follows Amazon Lily's tradition of having its inhabitants named after flowers or flowering plants. It's unknown whether this is intentional or coincidental.
 * Her name also bears a resemblance to Bagheera, the black Indian leopard from Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Again, it is unknown whether or not this is intended by Oda.
 * Bacura was confirmed to be female in Vivre Card databook. Though this is unsurprising given Amazon Lily's all-female population, Bacura's gender was not made clear in the original manga due to the rarity of third person pronouns in the Japanese language. Because of this, the official Viz translation made the erroneous assumption that Bacura was male and referred to her with male pronouns.
