Pokemon Hanafuda

ok so.

these guys.

are similar to

the rudinns & rangers.

and ive been kinda stumped for a while

but i legit think i figured out what they are.

so let me send you through my thought process...

“hm. rudinn. rudinn ranger. chapter 5 flower enemy.

rudinn. rudinn ranger. chapter 5 flower enemy.

damn it. what connection does this thing have to rudinns? is it because rudinns like money?

why is it shaped like the rudinns? is it because this new enemy is a type of card?

and i mean, chapter 5 is japan and flower themed.

but what would cards have to do with money, flowers, and japan—

*REALIZATION*

YOU.”

The only thing that makes me hesitant about being 100% confident in this deduction is that the colors are wrong, but the colors for darkners have never really 1:1 matched with their irl counterparts anyway… usually. Rudinns are green while irl diamond cards are red.

If these enemies aren’t Hanafuda then i just genuinely have no idea what they’re supposed to be. Their attacks make me think of fireworks, but thats not card related, and they LOOK like they’re origami, but thats not card related either (at least i don’t think it is.)

As a side note I actually just love these fellas look at them

they got flower petals on they head.

Theyre little goobers. theyre little snilers.

The new rudinns are hanafuda cards

While talking to myself I was trying to figure out what the new rudinn enemies are supposed to be but thats when it hit me

With this chapter having a Japanese theme I remembered these types of playing cards called hanafuda cards, I believe these are what the new rudinns are as one they contain imagery of flowers trees and leafs plant which are all plants and as we all know chapter 5 is plant themed.

As well as that with the festival potentially being Japanese themed it's definitely possible someone like asgore probably picked up a pack being sold during it

Finally obviously the enemy is designed like a rudinn who we already know is a diamond playing card so for a new enemy to be based on rudinn suggests there also a type of card

I love how One Piece references historical moments. I just did some digging into the historical relations between Japan and Portugal.

When Portuguese traders went to Japan in the mid-16th century, they introduced them to Playing Cards. The Portuguese were also known to have Dragons illustrated on their Ace Cards (Ace of Swords). This inspired Japan to make Hanafuda Cards.

In One Piece, Portgas D. Ace defeats Hanafuda and visits Wano. And Kaido (a Dragon) is captain of the Beast Pirates, who are named after Playing Cards and Games.

Also, in Hanafuda there are 12 suits that represent the months. The ninth suit is the Chrysanthemum, also known as Kiku 菊 - きく. This represents September.

So I drew Page One, the Son of Hanafuda, teaching Hanafuda to Kiku. This was the extra cover story.

My Hanafuda collection grows! I got a limited edition deck designed by CLAMP. I love their artwork (easily one of the top for me), so this was an easy purchase to make haha. Although this deck focused on xxxHOLiC, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and RG Veda.
