Why is Genji’s Dragon Small?
Genji’s dragon is small because Hanzo, his brother, had taken his body and killed one of his dragons, leaving Genji with only one dragon and a severely damaged body that was later rebuilt through cyberization. This significant loss is reflected in the size of Genji’s dragon, which, despite being smaller, remains formidable due to Genji’s current state of mind and his ability to control the dragons.
