Kanehachi Mk2, like its predecessor, is stylized after an octopus. To this end its "face" is placed on the Medarot's chest area (though the abdomen "head" does feature a pair of eyes as well as its ''kane-hachi'' symbol). Each arm has an anchor attached to a wire; this can be used as a grappling hook to [[Hold]] opponents, reducing their speed. Its six-legged base provides maximum mobility on uneven terrain. | |||
Its CLA model may reference ''calamari'', a dish of octopus meat. It is also likely to be a corruption of '''Kra'''ken, a mythological giant squid, whose likeness is on the [[Kraken_Medal|medal]] that this Medarot is best matched with. With no references to clams, its English name "Octoclam" is based solely upon its model. | Its CLA model may reference ''calamari'', a dish of octopus meat.
