Hisuian Decidueye having autumn colors, instead of the normal green aesthetic grass-starters usually have, is more badass than it has any right to be.

You didn’t mention Typhlosion’s signature move, Infernal Parade! As in the Night Parade of 100 Yokai! I always name my Hisui Typhlosion Nurarihyon because of it.

Hisuian Decidueye looks like an Anime protagonist that just witnessed its entire family get murdered and is about to set out on a quest to avenge them.

I personally love the Hisuian Typhlosion the most. The face just says to me "I've got a secret that I'll share with you one day."

I might have realized something A ronin comes about when a samurai doesn’t commit suppuku. A ronin is a samurai that’s supposed to be dead, but isn’t. Hisuian decidueye is a Pokémon that’s supposed to be ghost type, but isn’t.

Few other things, samurai were known for their sword play but primarily relied on archery, hence why we got decidueye. Also since Samurott is a dark type I feel that it is the ronin of the trio and decidueye is the honorable samurai.

Typhlosion 😢 Mugina... Pandemonium... March of the 100 Yokai 😢 Also Samurott... the Ainu tale about eating an otter's head... the dagger across Samurott's helmet... 😢

They also look like elite trainers from their region of the secondary type Samurott’s Armor = Grimsley’s Coat Typhlosion’s Neck Flame = Morty’s Scarf Decidueye’s Top = Hala’s Hair Top

Typhlosion might have been picked because of its Volcano inspiration rather than its animal basis (the Cyndaquil lines draws from multiple species and Typhlosion is called the Volcano Pokemon), as a refence to Ushishir, volcanic islands that were considered a sacred area to the Ainu. Hisuian Typhlosion even gets its powers from Mt Coronet's spiritual energy.

I actually didn't realize you didn't do the Hisuian starters final evolutions I could've sworn you did.

So the connection for Typhlosion is that there are badger yokai called Mujina (it's often interchangeably used to describe tanuki in many areas) and animal yokai such as kitsune, Tanuki and Mujina are associated with ghostly fire and these phenomena are called kitsunebi and tanukibi, hence Typlosion is an appropriate being a fire type and given ghost type. You can extend this to Oshowatt as there are otter yokai called Kawauso but their pranks are alot more nefarious than tanuki. And Dicidueye may also draw inspiration from Tengu who are depicted as long nosed hermits or monks but often are given avian features such as a beak

It’s so cool that Samurott was based on Nobunaga, because, coincidentally, I named mine Nobunagua, making a pun with the word “água” (meaning “water” in Portuguese). 😁

Also, H. Samurott being dark-type could be connected to the move Night Slash, since the japanese name of the move, Tsujigiri, references the habit of some samurai of attacking random people in the middle of the night, for no other reason than to test their blade or for fun

Honestly the pokemon conquest section made me think of how cool an idea of explaining why the warlords perfect link pokemon are what they are (that and I'm just hoping for pokemon conquest 2 one day)

Now I'd really like to see a video that explains in-depth the masks of Ogerpon, as well as the Loyal Three.

I love the Decidueye take.. I named my shiny "Ghillie" thinking it looked like an owl covered in a ghillie suit. Ties in nicely with your take on the ronin outfits.

There is more to Oda Nobunaga and why he did the things he did, also his title of the demon king of the 6th heaven, is something he named himself. It was to mock one of his enemies who called them self the the friend of Buddhism or something along those lines.

I'm really shocked lockstin hasn't gone over name meanings yet. Apparently samurai committed "sedoku" I didn't miss that part

9:16 It's the real martial art Iaijutsu
