Hatchan

Hatchan is a gyojin of the octopus race. He used his six arms to use the Rokutouyyuu (six sword style). As an octopus, he can also use his suction cups and ink during the combat.

Most of his attacks are a play between his nickname "Hachi" and the number 8 (in Japanese it is also Hachi), reason why we can take several interpretations in the translations.

• Rokutou no Waltz (Six Sword Waltz)

After sending his opponent flying, Hatchan stands where they're going to land and spins his swords over his head like a ceiling fan. Anything that touches these swords is instantly sliced into pieces.

• Shikai Zero, Tako Hachi Black (Zero Visibility, Octopus 8 Black)

Hatchan blinds his opponent by spraying them with ink.

• Shin Shun, Tako Age, Taikai (New Year, Fried Octopus, Break it Apart)

A three move combo the is used after Takosubo no Kamae. First Hatchan charges in with Shin Shun forcing the opponent to block, them Hatchan throws the opponent’s guard open using his swords with Takoage, and finally he charges and head-butts them in the gut and sends them flying with Taikai. If you bring it all together and change the kanji, "Shin Shun Takoage Taikai" or "The New Spring Raising the Kite Festival" is actually a festival in for Ibaraki Prefecture welcoming the new spring on New Year's.

• Tako Ashi Kiken (Octopus Foot Miracle Swords)

Hatchan charges his opponent and slices wildly at them with all six of his swords. Although the kanji "kiken" means "Miracle Swords", a different spelling of "kiken" can mean "danger" and the term "octopus foot danger" is an expression for putting to many extensions into a single electrical outlet.

• Tako Hachi Black on the Rock (Octopus 8 Black on the Rock)

After blinding his opponent with his Tako-Hachi Black attack, Hatchan grabs a big rock and smashes it on top of his opponent. The "on the rock" is a play between real rocks and the ice of a cocktail, in this case the enemy is the recipent.

• Tako San Ren Shin Ken Shira Ha Dori (Octopus Catching the Blade with Bare Hands Special Move)

Hatchan attempts to catch an incoming sword as it slashes like in Samurai movies. One would think that with three sets of hands Hatchan'd have a pretty good chance of succeeding, but he often fails and ends up getting hit by the very attack he was trying to stop.

• Tako-Hachi Number Nine (Octopus 8 Number 9)

A defensive technique Hatchan jumps out of the way of an enemy attack and uses the suction cups on his arms to cling to a nearby surface and stay out of harm’s way. The pun here is that the Japanese word "kyuuban" meaning "number 9" can also mean "suction cups".

• Takoyaki Punch (Takoyaki Punch)

Hatchan throws a continuous barrage of punches at this opponent. "Takoyaki" are fried octopus snacks.
