Azure Dragon is a pale blue dragon with teal eyes and yellow whiskers. He has a yellow dragon orb in one hand, dark blue small spikes down his tail and golden tip to his tail. The same dark blue is on his hair at the top of his head along with a beige spiral on his forehead. He has beige dragon horns and his stomach is segmented and light beige with a yellow line along the borders.
Azure Dragon can be rarely encountered during Rafting Adventure. Alternatively he can also be encountered on the peak of Mt. Middleton with the S Rank Watch.
Azure Dragon is exclusive to White Dog Squad. He can be found on Patrol Missions in Breezy Hills. Alternatively, the player can obtain him as a rare drop when fighting Ultra Hinozall.
He is required for the White Dog Squad HQ Yo-kai Circle.
Seiryū literally translates to "azure dragon," and is the Japanese name of the Qing Long.
His English name is a literal translation of his Japanese name.
Origin[]
Just as his name implies, Azure Dragon is based on the Qing Long, one of the Four Symbols, four constellations that are part of the Chinese astronomy and each correspond to a cardinal direction and season; the other three being Xuanwu (the Black Tortoise), Bai Hu (the White Tiger) and Zhu Que (the Vermilion Bird).
Qing Long represents the East, the spring season, the color azure, and the Wood element. In Japan, these four beasts are believed to protect Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, with the Azure Dragon residing in the Kiyomizu Buddhist temple, which every year holds a ceremony in his honor.
Because Qing Long and Bai Hu reign over opposite cardinal directions, they are said to be in perpetual conflict, and from there comes the phrase "Tiger and Dragon facing each other" to describe eternal rivals that never manage to claim final victory over one another.
Trivia[]
Azure Dragon appeared on the promotional poster for the Yo-kai Watch! anime but never appeared in the series.
