* The Japanese name of this move, つばめがえし ''Swallow Return'' (more commonly known in English as the "Turning Swallow Cut"), is probably taken from the signature technique of the legendary swordsman {{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}} (the namesake of {{TRT}}'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|Generations IV]] and [[Generation V|V]]). Its name came from Kojirō's observations of the motion of a swallow's tail in flight. | * The Japanese name of this move, つばめがえし ''Swallow Return'' (more commonly known in English as the "Turning Swallow Cut"), is probably taken from the signature technique of the legendary swordsman {{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}} (the namesake of {{TRT}}'s [[James]]).

*** However, some Pokémon that can learn claw moves cannot learn this attack (such as {{p|Lucario}}, due to the possible fact that it has no visible sharp-bladed edges it can use on its body). This can also imply that Pokémon who can use anything like a bladed edge can specifically learn this attack (or have visible claws). | |||
**** The possible exceptions are {{p|Dugtrio}} and its pre-evolution, despite never appearing to leave the ground to perform the move (mysteriously, both Pokémon can learn a variety of claw-based moves other than Aerial Ace itself). | |||
