Battle Deity Robo, Genbu/Trivia


 * Genbu is the Japanese name for the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese Constellation, that represents Winter, the element Water, the color Black and the North. Genbu is often depicted as a tortoise with a snake coiling around it, hence this monster's shape.
 * At first, given the influence, it seems strange that this monster is mostly colored green, but during the Han Dynasty, citizens of China wore jade pendents in the shape of tortoises, as they were thought to be symbols of longevity.
