'''Zan Partizanne''' is a [[boss]] who made her debut in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. She is described as the Lightning General of [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] (the other two being [[Francisca]] and [[Flamberge]]). She is also the highest-ranking general of the trio, taking orders directly from [[Hyness]], the main antagonist of the game. Like the other two sisters, Zan Partizanne's name is based on the name of [[wikipedia:Partisan (weapon)|the polearm]] she carries.


As her title implies, Zan Partizanne uses electricity in battle, conducted through her polearm when she swings at the Star Allies, as well as a giant set of drums she straps onto her back, which are modeled after the drums worn by the Japanese God of Thunder [[wikipedia:Raijin|Raijin]]. She gained these powers when she was about to succumb to a deadly thunderstorm, but was rescued by Hyness. Since then, she has been eternally loyal to him, despite his worsening treatment of her up to the events of ''Kirby Star Allies''.
'''Zan Partizanne''' is a [[Boss]] who made her debut in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. She is described as the 'Lightning General', and serves as a counterpart to the other two generals; [[Francisca]] and [[Flamberge]]. She is also the eldest and highest-ranking general, taking orders directly from [[Hyness]].

=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' ===
Zan Partizanne first appeared alongside her fellow mage-sisters in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. She is first faced in battle at the end of [[Heavenly Hall]] in [[Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion]]. Once defeated, she destroys the core of the fortress, prompting the Star Allies to escape before it collapses, making her the second boss in the ''Kirby'' series who forces an escape sequence after being defeated (the first one being [[Meta Knight]] in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]). Zan Partizanne is faced again at [[The Divine Terminus]], just before the battle with Hyness.

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellpadding="2"
!colspan=2|'''Zan Partizanne's Attacks during the first battle in ''Kirby Star Allies''''' &nbsp;
|-
! '''Attack'''
! '''Description'''
|-
| '''ザン・ザン'''<br>Zan Zlash
|Zan Partizanne slashes with her spear. The slash reach is short compared to her thrusting attacks. Most often she slashes twice in a row but can do it only once, too. If she does two sets, she may turn around at the start of her second set if her target is behind her.
*ザン can also be written as 斬 (slash).
|-
| '''ザン・サザン'''<br>Zan Ztab
|Zan Partizanne jumps and thrusts down her spear, creating an electric barrier and [[Dropped Star]]s around her on impact. Sometimes she may do this move twice in a row. Inhaling the drop stars will grant either the [[Plasma]] or [[Beam]] abilities depending on color.
|-
| '''ザン・サウザンド'''<br>Zan Zkewers
|Zan Partizanne rapidly thrusts her spear while dashing, finishing with a forceful thrust. She may turn around upon performing the final thrust.
|-
| '''''カミナリオコシ'''''<br>''Drum N Waste''
|Zan Partizanne conjures a kit of three drums that resemble the ones wielded by [[wikipedia:Raijin|Raijin]], the Japanese god of lightning.
*Her drums will explode when taking enough hits from [[Artist]] or [[Water]]/[[Splash]]-augment attacks, leaving her stunned and vulnerable to attacks from Kirby & his allies.
 
As long as her drums are not destroyed, she fires parabolic electric blasts from the drums for five rounds, leaving stars on impact:
*Round one & two: one shot from each drum
*Round three: 3-shot burst from each drum
*Round four: 5-shot burst from each drum
*Final round: one shot from each drum that focus on the center of the floor and create a huge eletric barrier there
Under her is the safety zone where the electric blasts can't hit Kirby and his allies.
*The Japanese name of this attack, カミナリオコシ（雷粔籹）(''[[wikipedia:Puffed rice#Japan|Thunder Candies]]'') is a kind of [[wikipedia:wagashi|wagashi]] (Japanese traditional confections), well-known as a souvernir from the [[wikipedia:Kaminarimon|Kaminarimon]] ("Thunder Gate") that ultimately leads to the temple [[wikipedia:Sensō-ji|Sensō-ji]] in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. The English name refers to the music genre, [[wikipedia:Drum and bass|drum 'n' bass]].
|-
| '''''ライトニングレモネイド'''''<br>''Lightning Lemonade''
|Zan Partizanne points up her spear to summon a thundercloud above her. She drops a lightning bolt from the cloud on her both sides for 3 rounds, leaving stars on impact.<br>She attacks on:
*one side of the stage,
*the center,
*the other side of the stage.
The middle under her is the safety zone where the lightning bolts on her both sides can't hit Kirby & his allies.
|-
| '''''Electro Eclair'''''
|
Zan Partizanne conjures her Raijin drums in order to use this attack, similar to 'Drum N Waste'.
*Again, her drums will explode when taking enough hits from [[Artist]] or [[Water]]/[[Splash]]-augment attacks.
 
As long as her drums are not destroyed, she uses her drums as a bow and shoot her spear horizontally like an arrow.<br>
Then, she fires a giant electric laser from her drums toward the spear (acting as a lightning rod), creating sparks on the floor as well as and stars bouncing from the spear.
*Eclair is the the original codename for ''Kirby Star Allies''. There is also an Extra Stage called [[Extra Eclair]].
|-
!colspan=2|Attack names are taken from Japanese guide books and the English version's Dream Friend moveset list.
|}
 
In between attacks, Zan Partizanne moves via Lightning Dodge to get into position for her next attack. For Drum N Waste and Electro Eclair, she moves to the center of the battlefield, while for all the others she moves to one side of the screen (left or right) before executing the move. The only exception to this pattern is if she does two sets of Zan Zlashes in a row.
 
In all of her battles, Zan Partizanne can be stunned while she is performing Drum N Waste and Electro Eclair if she is hit by attacks with the Splash [[Power Effect]] (or by [[Artist]] and [[Adeleine]]'s paintbrush attacks).

When she is fought again at [[The Divine Terminus]], Zan Partizanne's attacks are more elaborate, but still fundamentally the same.

|-
| '''''カミナリオコシ・オンド'''''<br>''Drum N Waste Ondo''
|Unlike 'Drum N Waste' in her first battle, Zan Partizanne fires electric blasts for 4 rounds instead:
*The first three rounds are all rapid-fire bursts.
*The final round is still one shot from each drum that focus on the center of the floor and create a huge eletric barrier there.
*Ondo is a type of Japanese folk music that uses drums similar to the ones Zan Partizanne wields.

When she is fought solo in Soul Melter EX, Zan Partizanne's attacks are fundamentally the same as her battle at The Divine Terminus, but most of her attacks now ignore invincibility frames from after getting damaged.

====As an ally====
{{quote|Never forget her name! Not that you could with a name like Zan Partizanne... The eldest mage-sister will lend her lightning to your case, because she's loyal and she always repays her debts. But just this once. You got that, puffball?!|Pause text as a Dream Friend in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''}}

In Version 4.0.0. of the game, Zan Partizanne was added alongside her sisters Flamberge and Francisca as playable [[Dream Friend]]s, unlockable after completing [[Heroes in Another Dimension]] with at least 100 [[Friend Heart]]s. The three can swap out for each-other at almost any time. Zan Partizanne has access to most of her moves as a boss, and can [[hover]] through the air.

=== ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' ===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Zan Partizanne appears as a Spirit alongside Francisca and Flamberge. More information can be found on [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] page.
 
==Music==
Zan Partizanne's battle theme is titled '''{{furi|忘|わす}}らるる{{furi|閃光|せんこう}}のライトニング'''<ref>''[[Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack]]''</ref> (''Forgotten/Forgotizanne Flash of Lightning''). The title is a reference to how her name is often forgotten, and a pun on her Japanese name: "'''''Paruru'''tizānu''" → "''Wasu'''raruru'''''" (forgotten).
 
It's an intense rock version of '''"[[Song of Supplication]]"''', the battle theme of [[Francisca]] and [[Flamberge]].
 
==Name==
Zan Partizanne's name differs from the names of the other two Mage Sisters in both the English and Japanese versions. In English, the two have a single word name that starts with F, and are named after a weapon with no modifications, while in Japanese, both start with フラン (that can be read as both "Fran" or "Flam") and are followed by a word. Due to this, prior to her name reveal, fans speculated that her name would follow the same patterns in the respective languages. Once her real name was announced, it came as a bit of a surprise. Series director [[Shinya Kumazaki]] named her differently on purpose, to surprise the players, make them feel as if she had a different origin from the other two, and make her unique with a really long name.<ref>[https://www.ndw.jp/kirby_02/ Nintendo Dream interview, rough translation: "As the leader of the Three Mage-Sisters, I think people would expect her name to be “Fran-something”, but I wanted to surprise them. I wanted players to imagine that her birth was different from the other two, and I also wanted her to be unique, with a remarkably long and hard to remember name like “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” (laughs).] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190611073822/https://www.ndw.jp/kirby_02/ Wayback Machine archive])</ref>
 
Zan Partizanne's unwieldy name has also become a running joke on the [[Kirby JP Twitter]]. When she presents news on the official Twitter, she often reminds the readers to remember her name.
{{quote|名は「ザン・パルルティザーヌ」だ。この名、忘れるでないぞ。

Don't forget it.|When she first appeared on the official Twitter.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/976247031948722176 Kirby's official JP Twitter post on March 21, 2018] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210514032943/https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/976247031948722176 Wayback Machine archive])</ref>}}

Additionally, Zan Partizanne is an admirer of [[Hyness]], but the robed sorcerer does not reciprocate her feelings. In particular, Hyness routinely forgets her name, which is referenced in his phase 2 boss fight pause description in [[The Ultimate Choice]].
 
==Nicknames to other characters==
Zan Partizanne has a habit of giving other characters nicknames. For example, she refers to her sisters lovingly as "Franny" ('''キッス''' ''Kiss'' in Japanese) and "Berge" ('''ルージュ''' ''Rouge'' in Japanese), while she refers to Kirby by varying derogatory nicknames like "tiny ball of pink puffy mischief" and "stubby pink ball" ('''ずんぐりピンク''' ''Stubby Pink'' in Japanese). She eventually refers to Kirby properly by name at the end of [[Heroes in Another Dimension]], indicating that she now takes him seriously. More of these nicknames can be seen by her reports on the [[Kirby JP Twitter]] feed, including:

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Zan Partizanne is the only one of [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] to have her own boss battle theme, albeit just being an arrangement of Francisca and Flamberge's battle theme.
*Like the previous two generals, Zan Partizanne's name is based on the name of the polearm she carries.
*Barring text used in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]], Zan Partizanne's Dream Friend pause screen description is the only one to not mention the title of her game of origin.
*Zan Partizanne is the first boss in the series who forces an escape sequence after being defeated.
*Zan Partizanne refers to her sisters lovingly as 'Franny' and 'Berge'.
*Zan Partizanne appears to be personally fond of [[Hyness]] - a feeling which is not reciprocated.
