>>37889139The moon rabbit alone has different legengs around the world.
Chinese legend is different from japanese one (that originates from an indian tale of Buddha's past lives) , and in America there are two other versions.
So there would be a lot of material to pick from.
Also, in Japan rabbits are quite popular as pet, sure a lot more than Europe. And rabbits are presents in a lot of old regional tales, so GF could get inspiration from those too.
Anyway, Scorbunny gives me the impression to be related to fireworks.
On first its japanese name is ヒバニー(Hibanii) that is 火(fire) +bunny, but also sounds similar to ヒバナ(Hibana) that means "spark". Also, hibana in kanji is 火花、that reverted becomes 花火(hanabi), that means fireworks.
So, if its true that Scorbunny ears may resemble a rocket, that rocket could also be something like pic related.
In the end, those matchbox like stripes it has might be connected with fireworks too.
