    Yggdrasill Of DRAGON

    Don't you have that kind of image of a true dragon?
    You could call it a great tree that sends getter lines through its veins... Some evolutionary biologists believe that the concept of a world tree is inherent in the thinking of all humans, and that the collective unconscious views this world in this way. I say there are.
    In Norse mythology, there is a tree called Yggdrasil that cosmologically connects the nine worlds from the heavens to the underworld, but if you try to apply it in various ways, this image is completely wrong. I don't think you can say that.

    The second one is a line drawing, and the third one is a study, but I took the trouble to draw the dragon head lol
    Regardless of the design, if the mouth is triangular, even a dragon will feel at ease.

    Getter Robo has three different mecha referred to as some variant on Shin Dragon, and this is one example.

    I propose that we should formalize Shin Dragon's name status among each variant of itself like so:

    • Shin Dragon: the evolving Shin Dragon design from Getter Robo Armageddon (this is commonly used here and elsewhere; most people already assume this is what Shin Dragon is referring to anyway, so why not?
      • Side note: I think we should also tag the various stages of Shin Dragon's evolution as separate tags.
    • Shin Getter Dragon: the design from Getter Robo Daikessen! (this is, again, used here and on the Getter Robo fan wiki)
    • Getter Saint Dragon: the design from the Getter Robo manga, which is itself based on a rejected design for its Armageddon counterpart (again, used both on here and off site, most notably in Super Robot Wars Y's official translation)
