===Physiology===
[[File:XY Prerelease Honedge unsheathed.png|thumb|left|250px|Honedge with its sheath removed]]
Honedge is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sword from medieval times. Its body is a silver sword with a light gray hilt. Embedded in the hilt is a blue gem with a dark center that appears to be its eye. The blue eye is said to be the true form of Honedge. Attached to the pommel is a long, dark blue cloth with a swirl design in lighter blue at the tip; the tip of the sash splits into four tassels. The sash is known to suck the life energy out of anyone who dares to grab it by the hilt. Honedge's sheath is dark brown with curved lines resembling a {{wp|triquetra}} across its surface. Near the top of the sheath are two rings and a hole that in conjunction with the shape of Honedge's blade create the illusion of a face, with eyes and a mouth. A third ring extends onto the hilt and encircles its actual eye. Honedge is said to have been born from a person's soul after they were killed by the sword that it resides in.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''The origin of this Pokémon is a great ghost tale: it's said that Honedge are ancient swords possessed by a departed spirit. Should people try to grab the sword, Honedge will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm, slowly draining the life energy from their body. Moral of the story: be careful around ancient swords.''
 
'''PAL:''' ''There's a rather spooky tale behind this Pokémon's origins: apparently, it's an ancient sword possessed by a departed spirit. Honedge won't let anyone grip its hilt. If they try, it will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm and drain the life energy from their body! Yikes!''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Honedge and its evolved forms were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>


===Origin===
===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|scabbard}} and sword which contains an ancient soul.
Honedge appears to be based conceptually on a fully sentient, possessed {{wp|magic sword|magical sword}}. The fact that it starts off as an ordinary sword may mean it could be based on the {{wp|bushido}} mythos behind {{wp|katana}} use; katanas possessed the user {{wp|Samurai|samurai's}} soul and attacked of its own free will. In Japanese legends, any object left behind or forgotten by its owner can and will after a while become a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, and most commonly in legends, swords or umbrellas were the ones to attack humans. Considering it drains the life of those who wield it, it may have also been based on the cursed {{wp|tyrfing}}. Visually, considering its build and hilt, Honedge seems to be based on either a {{wp|spatha}}, {{wp|claymore}}, or possibly {{wp|jian}} sword, with its own {{wp|scabbard}} and {{wp|Hilt#Sword_knot|tassel}}-like prehensile limb. The design on both Honedge and Doublade's sheath resembles that of a {{wp|triquetra}}, clearly depicted on Honedge and more ornately designed on Doublade's. Its shiny form resembles a blood-soaked sword.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Hitotsuki could be a combination of ヒトツ ''hitotsu'' (one) and ツキ ''tsuki'', meaning stab, lunge, or thrust. ''tsuki'' also means, with/attached, possibly referring to how the sword is attached to the scabbard even when unsheathed.
Honedge may be a combination of ''hone'', ''one'', and ''edge''.
 
Hitotsuki may be a combination of 一つ ''hitotsu'' (one) and 突き ''tsuki'' (stab, lunge, or thrust) or 憑き ''tsuki'' ({{wp|spirit possession}}).
