Revision as of 22:26, 20 May 2020

Kartana (Japanese: カミツルギ, Hepburn: Kamitsurugi) (codenamed UB-04 Blade/Slash in Japan) is a Grass/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is one of the two UB-04, the other being Celesteela.

Biology

Physiology

Kartana is probably based off of a paper katana, namely Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a mythical sword in Japanese mythology. Either way, it is a very likely to be a type of origami.

Apperance wise, it seems to be a origami folded humanoid. The paper used is orange on 1 side and white on the other. It head is tucked into its body with a 4 pointer star(presumably its face). It appears to have either 2 yellow horns/antennae that become wider when moving upwards. Its arms resemble drawn katanas with yellow/white sheaths. It has creased legs.

Natural abilities

While Kartana may be regarded as tiny and not powerful, it is highly dangerous due to the fact that it could cut anything due to being infinitely sharp and thin. This has been displayed in an incident in which a Kartana cut down a steel tower with one stroke, probably without effort.

Evolution

Kartana doesn't evolve.

Pokédex entries

  • Sun

    This Ultra Beast came from the Ultra Wormhole. It seems not to attack enemies on its own, but its sharp body is a dangerous weapon in itself.

  • Moon

    One of the Ultra Beast life-forms, it was observed cutting down a gigantic steel tower with one stroke of its blade.

  • Ultra Sun

    This Ultra Beast's body, which is as thin as paper, is like a sharpened sword.

  • Ultra Moon

    Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.

Anime

Main article: Kartana (anime)

Kartana was the last known ultra beast to appear the anime. It was seen slicing Up things around Melemele Island,and was very hard to catch By the ultra guardians. It eventually saved Alola From a meteor Rayquaza and Deoxys accidentally sent towards it by slicing it up.

Trivia

  • Kartana shares its typing with Ferroseed and Ferrothorn. It and the latter also have the highest base defense of all grass types(which is weird considering its thin body shape).
  • Its Attack is the highest of both of its types, as well as non legendaries who are not transformed.
  • It has the lowest base sp.def of all Steel types.
  • Kartana is the smallest & lightest of the Ultra Beasts.
  • Just as how certain other Ultra Beasts resemble human characters in the game, Kartana bears some resemblance to Gladion, with yellow growths on its body similar to Gladion's square cuts of hair, as well as its poses and its body resembling his jacket.
  • Kartana is the only Pokémon to learn Cut by leveling up in the Alola games.
  • Due to its catch rate being 255 in sun and moon and beast balls multiplying that by 5, it is impossible to fail its capture with beast balls.
  • It can’t learn Slash although that is its japan codename.
  • Wicke once said its body allows it evade attacks more easily but makes it vulnerable to heat and moisture. Ironically enough, Kartana’s type combination resists the Water type(but are weak to the fire type)and its speed isn’t its highest stat.

Origin

Kartana appears to be based on an origami sculpture, its face in particular resembling an origami fortune-teller and its body resembling a chopstick wrapper. Its Grass-type could be based on the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (meaning "grass-cutting sword"), a sword that is one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan or the fact that paper is often made of trees. It is also based off of samurai katana blades, known for their sharpness. It may also be based on a praying mantis.

Conidering that it is an origami figure, it is either a noshi (good luck charm/ceremonial congratulations) or shikigami (a figure imbued with spiritual power that is used to ward off evil spirits). It’s also a visual pun on the term "paper cut."

Etymology

Kartana may be a combination of katana (Japanese for "sword", but more often refers to Japanese-style single edge swords), charta (Latin for paper), art, and possibly karuta (a traditional Japanese card game). Its Japanese name Kamitsurugi is likely a combination of kami (paper or god) and tsurugi (sword), presumably can be translated as paper sword or god sword (or translated as heavenly sword on the Mitsurugi name part, which is also the name of a person).
