Urshifu

Personality:   Urshifu draws upon the idea of tamed bears, specifically bears who were taken as cubs to be trained and raised in human society. Being a Fighting-type Pokémon and a "martial artist" draws upon a lot of lore of bears and the martial arts; high ranked martial artists sometimes fight bears as a means to test their skill in extreme situations, while the term kuma taiji, or "bear conquest", is sometimes used to also refer to demonic exorcism; this may explain Single Strike Style's Dark typing. It could also be based on the Short-Faced Bear, an extinct bear species known for its immense size and long limbs. Within astronomy and astrology, the Big Dipper in the west is sometimes referred to as Ursa Major, as imagery sees the constellation as a great bear, while in the east, the Big Dipper was traditionally known as the celestial palace of the heavens, with its handle end star, Alkaid, known as Hagunsei, or the Military Breaking Star, or The Sword, as it was believed the armies of heaven and the gods of death quartered there, and was ominous for warriors to face the northwestern direction because of this. Into the Meiji Era, when western and eastern thought met in 19th Century Japan, the Big Dipper saw another interpretation by its English adopted wordplay, being a "dark corner" akin to a bear's den. Each of Urshifu's style forms represents Yin and Yang, and into martial arts, the philosophy's application into the division of "hard styles" and "soft styles", as represented with Single Strike and Rapid Strike. Hard styles are said to focus on external focuses, that of raw strength and power, explosive speed, head on intercepting countering blows, and direct confrontation, while Soft styles are said to focus on internal focuses, including the control of the natural flow of the body with the mind, accuracy, mental acuity, concepts like using a foe's own movement and energy against them, and drawing out weaknesses; in short, as Rapid Strike Style Urshifu represents, the way of martial artist philosophy: "be like water". To Japanese martial arts philosophy, the concepts of satsujinken ("sword/fist that kills") and katsujinken ("sword/fist that gives life") also tie into these philosophies as well, respectively; satsujinken focuses on controlling a bout's tension to escalate to where a single blow is all that is needed for victory, while katsujinken focuses on cancelling out tension by meshing with a foe's energy and using it against them upon finding a weak point to disarm them. This would also presumably perhaps explain their dual typing; Dark coming from the intent to "kill" or instantaneously annihilate all opposition, Water also capable of "giving life" as much as it is able to overwhelm and overpower with many forms and rhythms. Their Gigantamax forms may be based on Ungyou and Agyou, 2 Japanese deities/Nio who stand watch over temples. One always has its mouth open, the other closed. They may also be based on the trope Red Oni and Blue Oni where the red one is more aggressive, whilst the blue one is more calm. Gigantamax Urshifu's Single Strike style may be based on Agyou, who is often depicted with its mouth open to represent aggression, while Gigantamax Urshifu's Rapid Strike style may be based on Ungyou, who is often depicted with its mouth closed to represent concealed power.
