Trivia

  • The Japanese name of this move, つばめがえし Swallow Return, is probably taken from the signature technique of the legendary swordsman Sasaki Kojirō (the namesake of Team Rocket's James). It is widely believed that it consisted of first a rapid downward slash from above, immediately followed by an upward slash on the same line (this same motion is used for the move's animation in Generation IV). Its name came from Kojirō's observations of the motion of a swallow's tail in flight.
