Card Trivia:Sangenpai Bident Dragion

  • This monster's Japanese name (さんげんしょうりゅう, Sangenshōryū) is a play on shōsangen (小三元), a yaku in Japanese mahjong, which is often translated as "little three fundamentals".
    • This monster's design is a two-headed dragon, reflecting how the shōsangen requires two triplets of dragon tiles, with the last dragon tile being a pair instead. Fittingly, this monster is the combined "Sangen" Synchro Monster form of "Tenpai Dragon Chundra" and "Tenpai Dragon Paidra".
    • Shōsangen has origins in Chinese Mahjong, where it's read as xiǎo sānyuán in Mandarin Chinese. The hand is worth 64 points in National Standard Mahjong (国标麻将 guóbiāo májiàng).
