Emma and the others manage to escape safely and reach the shelter just as Minerva showed them. However, they find an old man living a comfortable life all by himself in the shelter. Who on earth is this old man? In this article, we will introduce him to you.
The uncle's name is Yugo

The person enjoying dinner with a broken teacup in the shelter is Yugo. Emma and the others will learn the name of this uncle a little later in the story. Yugo is one of the cannibal children who escaped from GB Farm 13 years ago, and has the identification number ETR3M8 tattooed on his stomach. He is larger than Emma and the others, and seems to frequently go outside to find food. Gilda describes Yugo's style as unique.
Yugo's past and Lucas

Yugo has a trauma. It is caused by the past when his friends who escaped with him were captured and he was the only one to escape. Rather than saying that he escaped, it would be more accurate to say that his friends helped him escape. Because of this, he sometimes goes into a state of panic. Yugo's past is caused by poachers in a place called Secret Garden, and when he sees Emma captured there, he is half-resigned to the fact that it was the other person's fault.
Yugo, Emma, and Ray

Yugo shows his hostility towards the children who escaped from GF Farm. Perhaps he saw them as members of his dead family, with whom he had escaped from the GB Farm. However, with the button to blow up the shelter held hostage, Yugo listened to Emma and Ray's request and guided them to Gold Pond. Yugo had originally thought of feeding one of them to a demon somewhere in the area. And that's it. Yugo decided to feed Emma to the demons.
Emma's words that changed Yugo

Yugo, Emma, and Ray are on the way to Gold Pond. At that time, Emma approaches Yugo to have a heart-to-heart talk. Yugo has scribbled the word HELP on the wall. He begins by asking if it must have been hard for him, and honestly says that he wants to save Yugo. "Let's go, too. Let's go together to the human world. Let's see the world that our friends wanted to see!" These words touch Yugo's heart, but unfortunately, the next moment, Emma is kidnapped and taken to the Secret Garden. Yugo appears after this and is completely on Emma's side.
Reunion of Yugo and Lucas

In fact, Lucas had been secretly surviving in Gold Pond for 13 years. He was a friend of his uncle and wanted to liberate Secret Garden. At that time, Emma was captured and brought to Secret Garden, and the mystery of Gold Pond was revealed. Lucas then decides to rebel and sets out to kill Lord Bayon and his men, the demon administrators. In the middle of the rebellion, Ray and Lucas come to his aid. That's right. With their help, the rebellion is successful. And after the battle, Yugo and Lucas are reunited for the first time in 13 years. The two embrace each other without saying a word. It's a very moving scene.

Rei and Yugo come to the Secret Garden to help. The children who rebelled defeated Nouma, but Nous was hit by it and became stronger, so the sniper couldn't hit it. Rei and Yugo join the children. Nous sensed his presence, but it seemed he hadn't sensed Yugo. Yugo completely silenced his presence and succeeded in killing Nous with one blow. It felt like Yugo had become a reliable ally, showing how this is how a sniper works. Incidentally, Rei's presence was sensed by Nous, which also showed the high level of Yugo's abilities.
The End of Yugo

The children whose shelter was attacked by Andrew. Andrew is probably Peter's subordinate and a senior executive. He is also the person who took Phil from the farm. The children who were attacked by Andrew. Yugo and Lucas fight Andrew together. Unfortunately, during this, both of them die. The Promised Neverland is famous for not having many main characters die, but unfortunately, this time they really did die. Yugo and Lucas were reunited after 13 years, but sadly, this was the end of their escape.
Yugo Summary

The children who called him "Uncle" and "Uncle" seemed to feel uncomfortable with the way they called him even after they found out that his name was Yugo. In the midst of all this, when everyone returned to the shelter, Yugo felt like they spent time together as a real family. If this were to be made into a story, it would be a peaceful episode, so it's not depicted much. So Yugo is actually still alive!? Well, that probably won't happen.
