"Sangen" (

Etymology
The theme's name is taken from Sangenpai (
Sangenpai in its Japanese form is derived from the original Chinese Mahjong, Máquè (麻雀), where it is written with the same 三元牌 Hanzì, pronounced sānyuán pái in Mandarin Chinese, meaning "Three Fundamental Tiles". The hand consists of 红中 hóngzhōng (Red Centre), 發財 fācái (Find riches), and 白板 báibǎn (White slate), sometimes referred to as the "Three Dragon Tiles". When scoring in the Chinese National Standard Mahjong (国标麻将 guóbiāo májiàng), the hand is often called 大三元 (dà sānyuán), or "Big Three Fundamentals", worth 88 points, among the highest possible.
The "Sangen" Synchro Monsters appear to be inspired by "Trident Dragion", as indicated by the similar names, Attribute, Type, Synchro Material requirements, and Battle Phase-oriented effects.
