Trivia
Origin
The characters in the card's name, 漫才 manzai, is a traditional style of stand-up comedy in Japanese culture often associated with Osaka. Manzai typically involves two performers; the Pikachu in the illustration are donned in blue suits, drawing inspiration from the duo Kiyoshi Nishikawa and Yasushi Yokoyama, prominent in the 1970's and 1980's, and the more recent Ginshari, comprising comedians Kazuhiro Unagi and Nao Hashimoto, themselves influenced by the former duo. A pair of Pikachu mascots wearing blue suits also appeared at Pokémon Center Osaka DX and Pokémon Center Osaka on select weekends and public holidays throughout the campaign period.
New Open is a reference to the opening of Pokémon Center Osaka DX. Fickle Attack is an attack that first appeared on Dark Slowbro from Team Rocket. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
