The seven Dragons = Seven Deadly Sins (?)

Post by SHINOBI-03 » Fri Apr 27, 2012 6:24 pm

Okay, this concept just came to my head. I was thinking of the seven dragons from GT and how they are formed from over usage of the balls, and for some reason I thought about the Seven Deadly Sins! This might be far-fetched, but do you think each dragon represents a sin based on their traits or wishes?
  • - Iishinron = Wrath. The #1 dragon and the strongest of them.
    - Ryanshinron = Gluttony. Fat, week, and lives on pollution.
    - Sanshinron = Greed. A dirty fighter who uses dirty tricks to get what he wants.
    - Suushinron = Envy. The least evil of the dragons and could never join the good side.
    - Uushinron = Pride. Thinks of himself as the strongest and mightiest of the dragons.
    - Ryuushinron = Lust. Disguise itself as woman, and made from the wish of panties.
    - Chiishinron = Sloth. The most laid back of the dragons and didn't care for a fight.

Yeah, I think that was the point.

Wow I never noticed this :lol:
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Really interesting idea but sounds like a stretch to me. Especially with Wrath and Envy.

I agree on the concept, but not sure I completely agree on all the designations. I'm not saying yours are wrong, but I do think some others are possible.

Si Xing Long could also be "Pride", as he has the whole noble warrior thing going on, similar to our Saiyan Prince.

Wu Wing Long could be "Envy" or "Greed". He lacks the size and power of the other dragons, so he resorts to using his slime to make himself more physically intimidating and leeches off the power plant to increase his power to fulfill his desires.

San Xin Long could also be "Envy". It's a typical cliche trope for brothers to fight and put each other down when they are jealous of each other, but Si Xing Long has the whole noble high road going on, so he's above such childish actions.
