  • This monster's Japanese name, (さんげんちょうりゅう, Sangenchōryū), is a play on chōsangen (超三元), a yaku in Japanese mahjong, which is often translated as "superior three fundamentals".
    • This monster is depicted as a three-headed dragon, referencing how the chōsangen requires quadruple sets of the three dragon tiles. Fittingly, this monster is the combined "Sangen" Synchro Monster form of "Tenpai Dragon Chundra", "Tenpai Dragon Fadra", and "Tenpai Dragon Paidra".
    • Chōsangen has origins in Chinese Mahjong, where it's written as 大三元 (dà sānyuán) in Mandarin Chinese. The hand is worth 88 points in National Standard Mahjong (国标麻将 guóbiāo májiàng).
