Dragon's scale

The Dragons’ Scale was first introduced in Chapter 22, regarding the Dragon Fish.

Overview


It is said this dragon scale can extend one's life in a certain period. It can bring the greatest of luck or the worst suffering.

Rumor has it that when the carp jumps through the dragon gate, it becomes an actual dragon. This is most likely based off of Japanese folklore, and is believed that after a hundred years of jumping, one koi was able to finally reach the top of a waterfall. The Gods acknowledge this koi for its perseverance and determination, so they turned the koi into a golden dragon. The golden dragon is the image of power and strength. Devoted koi are said to have swam upstream China's Yellow River.
