You said it clearly it is bamboo and a bamboo sprout.

the bamboo cutter

it's a old japanese fairy tale

Kaguya, bamboo/moon princess, which is probably why it looks kind of like a space station with rockets

>>29270510

Kaguya-hime.

and it also looks like it's wearing a robe and dress

plus the gold inside the bamboo

kaguya confirmed

>>29270510
the princess kaguya myth. an old childless couple finds a tiny girl inside a glowing stalk of bamboo. She turns out to be the princess of the moon kingdom.

Note the patterning on the lower body emulates the many layers of an elaborate kimono. The conical midsection mimics long straight hair. the "neck" and "head" are more bamboo stalk.

They are Personas, the manifestations of one's true self, the ability to overcome life's hardships and to accept one's true faults.

Persona

Please buy our games and spinoffs

-Atlus rep

>>29270510
Probably based off of Kaguya-hime. Also may hint that the UBs may be aliens.

They are likely based on characters in the game like lillie lusamine guzma etc.

>>29270584

>Moon princess
Possibly Moon exclusive?

>>29270510
Best UB design by far. I'm surprised its rated so poorly in the rate threads.

Obviously a nun with a very long neck

>>29270644
The buff mosquito really reminds me of Kanji's evolved persona

>>29270679
that would imply a sun counterpart. Maybe the origami/shikigami looking UB that follows? They are suspiciously the only two distinctly Japanese ones. Possibly they're each version's UB encounter at the pagoda we've seen?

>>29270697
For real its dope as hell and aesthetically the most pleasing

actually now that I lay that out it seems pretty obvious that's exactly what they are.

>>29270697
Agreed. I find it aesthetically pleasing. Also its colour reminds me of verdigris, the shit that happens to pennies.

I imagine it as a alien concept taken from those Japanese style mansion ponds. You know, the ones with those bamboo stalks that fill with a stream of water, then empty when full over and over.

is that the one that looks like a ceiling fan?

japanese cultural memes that the western world easily recognizes

bamboo + traditional folk instrument + kimono + endo

>>29270955
origami + some jap meme sword myth + samurai


Honestly the ONLY good looking if not overall good design UBs compared to how garbage the other are. Maybe UB Beauty can join these two too, it is borderline acceptable and has a nice shiny.

>>29271103
again several of us came to the simple and not-retarded conclusion that's it's a blatant kaguyahime reference. you're input's both late and wrong.

>>29270909
if this is true... do i want to fight UB-02 Expansion or UB-04 Hunger more????? Fuck.

>>29271138
not confirmed source
yeah, well memed weaboo

>>29270909
I bet the Guzma and the crab dude will be in both

UBs remind me of Angels from Evangelion. So bizarre.

>>29271161
>Pokemon is obviously trying to ape Yo-kai watch
>Putting in Japanese Folklore references is too farfetched

>>29271458
So you're just randomly guessing? Fine.

no

>>29271743
i hope you're joking

I'd like them more if they just followed a common theme instead of looking like whatever the bored artists could find near their desks

>>29271899
that is the common theme

>>29270510
I don't know what it is, but it's by far my favorite UB.

from the thumbnail I thought i was looking at a painting of a boat

>>29271899
They have a common theme though

Jelillie - Fat
Buff mosquito - Muscles
Origami ceiling fan - Hair
Kimono umbrella bamboo cutter - Motoric system
Edgy black thing - Nails (Onyx means nail)
Wire thing - Nerve system
Waifu cockroach - Skin
Crab thing - Digestive system

>motoric system
are you retarded

>>29272632
Well, there's a lot of emphasis on its hands.
It could also be the skeleton though. Perhaps that indeed fits better, because the motoric system is indeed not a concrete thing like the others.

>>29270510

Bamboo funnels.

We /m/ now.

>>29270679
More version exclusive UBs would make sense since people are starting to see them as legendaries and having every single one in both games would be pretty overwhelming. Not to mention that legendaries/UBs almost make up 1/3 of the dex

>>29270679
>>29270909
>Expansion and wireman in Sun
Fuck yes

GOD PLEASE NO THOSE ARE THE BEST I WANT THEM IN SUN TOO
