Voyagers were tickled pink yesterday after Yuga Labs CEO Garga revealed that the story of Blue will continue—and that the Koda is the Otherside’s Mickey Mouse!
On Wednesday, Garga joined the Otherside Discord to answer questions about the metaverse and more.
During the discussion, Garga confirmed that Blue the Koda will remain the central character of Otherside. He also shared that he and the team view Blue much like Walt Disney viewed Mickey Mouse.
“Yes, Blue’s the central character,” Garga wrote. “Dude’s our Mickey.”
Since the Otherside teaser trailer debuted in March 2022, Blue the Koda has become an iconic figure around the swamp.
Since then, Blue has appeared in major events like the First Trip to Otherside, collaborated with fellow crypto projects during Legends of the Mara, and ass blasted his Ape and Voyager frens in Project Dragon.
Blue also partnered with luxury fashion house Gucci in the summer of 2023, releasing a line of KodaPendants and Metadata Otherside Relics by Gucci for his Koda and Kodamara frens.
Looking ahead, the community can expect to see more of Blue as Voyagers prepare to visit the Koda’s home world, the Nexus.
As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, Garga recently hinted that the Nexus is the next destination. He also revealed that we’ve already caught glimpses of Nexus temples in Yuga Labs’ Before Curtis teaser trailer from last year.
“Think of Nexus as the ancestral home of the Kodas, with an enormous Koda temple at its center,” Garga wrote last week. “It’s the central hub for all Otherside, connecting realms and biomess through a vast network of portals. in its prime, Nexus was illuminated by Soma, which is the creation energy you saw Blue bottling up in the Otherside B.C. trailer but chaos, the other energy we see in the trailer and throughout Otherside, has really fucked the place up these days…. it is a Chaos environment but a major city similar to Meetropolis. it’s near the site of the temple we see in the second Otherside trailer.”
The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow Blue and bring you updates on what Yuga Labs does next with its Mickey Mouse!

Blue sounds like a rad character, kinda like a digital version of the classics. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Blue? Nah, just feels like another recycled character. Need something fresh, you know?
