Origins of Shimindramon

So as I said in a previous post, Shimindramon will be the fusion result between the partners of Nanako and Kazuko.  I figured it would make sense to delve into the nit and picks of this.

Before I do, however, I want to thank kuha.karma for designing him.

Shimindramon is a pretty boi, and kuha.karma's talent shows through, as it always does. <3

As the design suggests, it is the fusion of Wizardmon and Ginryumon.

Now, where did the name come from?

In actuality, it was RyokosDetermination who suggested the name, but its origins root back to Ginryumon.  You see, Ginryumon's evolution contains the theme of the samurai, which is where "shimin" comes from - the term used to describe Japan's top elites, whom, "were the only caste granted the privilege of wearing two swords and having two names—a family and a first name."*

"-dra" is quote common in the Digimon series when describing Digimon that are dragon in nature.  Given the obvious references to Wizardmon himself (the face, the chest that resembles his staff, etc.) all point to the mystic combination of wizard and samurai dragon.

Well, hope that helps! <3
