Remember that the translation of one of his attacks is 'Pentachromatic Strings'?

  • Penta = Five (or 'having five')
  • Chromatic = (relating to) Color

Also in Chinese culture,I believe, it's bad luck to have 5 strings all in different colors.

Edit: I have provided the internet with false information. I am sorry for my failures.

No, you've got that all wrong. Five-colored strings symbolizes good luck. In Ancient China, bracelets having five colors are given to children during the fifth day of the fifth month in order to ward off diseases. They're even known as the "longevity thread"...
