The Many Samurai Pokemon

>>33381735
God forbid that they base multiple Pokemon around the same thing...

I ain't seeing it

>>33381735
>kommo-o samurai

nigga he's a monk

>>33381735
>Samurott
>Samurai

Samurai are biped.

Only Samurott, Kartana, and Golisopod count. Toxapex is a huge stretch, and Kommo-o has some vaguely Central American thing going on.

really? you're just going to ignore the fact that kartakana is literally wearing a samurai helmet?

>>33381958
>literally wearing
actually, if we want to be super literal, i guess the right way to put it is that he literally IS a samurai helmet

torterra rears up to attack, too. It's my favorite bipedal pokemon.

I always saw him as an islander with dreadlocks. I imagine his scales would sound a lot like a steelpan.

>>33382465
Different anon than the one claimed it was bipedal. It's quadrupedal, but Samurott falls on two feet in-game, so this isn't something the anime just came up with.

>>33381777
Kommo is some kind of asian monk or something. It's tail represents a monk staff

Pretty sure it's supposed to represent Samurai on horseback, except it's the one doing the four-legged movement.

Samurott was shown bipedal in an official promotion art. Like Typhlosion it can be both a quadruped as well as a biped. Fuck the anime for showing the infamous horrible quadruped sword-figthing scene

>>33381777
>Toxapex is a huge stretch
???
it is literally a head protected by a helmet

>>33382527
It's his fucking shell, made from his own tentacles. What kind of helmet covers your whole body?

>>33382527

No, it's just a starfish walking around on its legs.

There is also a japan-exclusive T-shirt merch with artwork made by Mitsuhiro Arita(artist for the TCG)

>>33382542
>What kind of helmet covers your whole body?
Any, if your whole body is only a head

>>33382578
Not him but Toxapek isn't a head. It's got a whole body, with lil stubbly limbs. Also, even if it was a head, it would be an upside down octopus. Which makes them tentacles, as the other anon said.

Even when bipedal Samurott hunch so much, they still look weird and uncomfortable. Personally my hopeful wish is that his mega/any alt form would give him a proper bipedal stance.

>>33382593
You're trying to say the BODY, the bit of Toxapex, not the whole circles bit, just the tiny little thing that hides inside the spiky tentacles, looks like a helmet? You're talking shit anon

Kommo-o's tail

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khakkhara

>The jingling of the staff's rings is used to warn small sentient beings (i.e. insects) to move from the carrier's path and avoid being accidentally trodden on. In ancient times it was used also to scare away dangerous animals.

>When it spots enemies, it threatens them by jingling the scales on its tail. Weak opponents will crack and flee in panic.

Same principle, monks used it to scare small animals away, Kommo-o uses its tail to scare weak Pokemon away

>>33382788
nigga he even does the tail swinging thing in his z-move

also female kommo-o are essentially mikos, take that as you will

It isn't THAT nonsensical.

I'm not sure if I buy it, but that's really cool actually

>>33382772
Is just some fag's headcanon trying to justify Samurott's design.

>>33382965
> implying thats headcanon
High rank samurai were mostly on horseback retard.

It's pretty nonsensical when you try to combine everything.

It ends up looking pretty awkward.

>quadrupedal but it also uses a sword
Idk, they pulled it off decently imo. Remember that the sword is only a chunk of it's armor pulled off, so when it's not attacking with the swords, the swords work like another layer of it's armor. They contribute to the design regardless of how it looks when using the blades.

>>33384586
Is it really samurai-inspired? Even though the "kabuto" most likely comes from the japanese word of horseshoe crab?

>>33384880
Its scythes look like kama, but even that's a bit of a stretch.

>>33383575
Nice headcanon with not official source dude.
