Its story
Lifestyle
It lives in another world, Ultra Forest. Every edge cuts like a blade, it dodges by dancing aside, but fire and moisture leave it highly vulnerable.
In the anime
It arrives through an Ultra Wormhole and slices across Melemele; Ash cannot catch it. It saves the school by cutting a meteor apart, then returns home through a new wormhole.
Name origin
It may be based on origami and samurai. Kartana may combine katana with card, art, or charta, the Latin word for paper.
