>>27153658To allot greater space for the width and size of Greninja’s boat bow shaped head, the designers bestowed Greninja with a very short neck where it is artistically put in by fan artists (perhaps to make the creature appear a little less disillusionary to its fans), or one that apparently seems to blend in with the connection to the head and the torso, with little form or indication of its existence. This is almost uglier than the legs of Greninja, and would stick out just as much had the Game Freak designers not also use their vestiges of artistic vision to cover up the oversight with Greninja’s tongue scarf.
It may be merely apparently short, in which case can be drawn to a habitually bad posture (and with such a forward hunched neck, who is to argue that it may not subsidarily be the case?) Dr. Havelock Ellis states that if it is genuinely short, it is usually also very large in girth (exactly!) and associates it with gall-bladder disease. He says that it also connects with hypothyroidism and Klippel-Feil syndrome, a severe malformation of the spine, which extends its symptoms to a host of other nervous and mental debilities and distortions.
Lastly, Greninja’s body is fixed or set in bad postural habits — stoops, rounded shoulders, leaning forward, head hunched forward, visceroptosis (a sagging belly), stiff straightening of shoulders with corresponding lordosis of many varieties, a curvature of the spine (without tuberculosis or any other disease) and so on. All are very ugly, and destructive of any nimble warrior’s ability to cohesively, silently, and fluidly engage in feats of gymnastics, speed, and precision, like that of an actual ninja.
