    I don't remember Tiamat's body shape or Marduke's body shape being described in detail. However, when the demi-god dragons on Alda's side attacked Van near the start of this arc is was specifically said that the dragon was in the shape of an eastern style dragon - in other words, body like a snake. Probably with mane, claws etc, but that wasn't mentioned. Most famous example in this style would be Shenron / Shenlong from Dragonball.

    I imagined Tiamat to have a western dragon lower body (hips, hind legs and tail) and the upper body of a woman scaled up to match (stomach, chest, etc) and i imagine marduke to be a western dragon too, but I don't remember anything to say what he looked like.

    Given the kanji used I'd suggest eastern style dragon body. Eg:

    However... Tiamat is specifically excluded from the bust rankings... for no known reason. I've looked but I couldn't find any comments from the author...

    I just had an image of Van and his son on a field trip to Origin when they arrive to get Mei.

    In my mind she looks too much like a lamia though, I see where your coming from, but when I think of dragons I don't think of the eastern snake-like ones, I think of the big four legged winged creatures that love to horde shiny things (with some hording knowledge instead)

    That would be a western dragon, like the evil gods who invaded lambda.
    The native dragons should be eastern dragons.

    I know, someone mentioned that before, this is just me being stubborn here in my view of dragons.

    By the way, is it me or we kind of skipped not one but two major events that were hinted for a while, Birth of Dragon-Van and the completion of giant statue? Maybe author will return to it in a flashback way?

    The sky darkens, ominous clouds converge into an otherworldy portal into the stars, every sentient being looked at it praying to an unresposive god for salvation until a sky splitting roar was heard around the world.

    It was a creature of myth.

    The emperor of the skies.

    The strongest being.

    It was a dragon.

    And it looked furious.

    Why was such a being here? How could something like that even exist? All of that didn't matter. They have to escape, somthing like that couldn't be fought. The have to find a way to-


    "Ahem, test, test! Can you hear me?"

    A child?

    "Bocchan, I think they can hear you, look, they stopped running!"

    Was that a child and a woman just now?

    "Ah, you are right. Then, my name is Vandalieu Zakkart and I am her Me-kun, if you get in the way you die. That's all!"

    .
    .
    .
    .
    .


    Eh?

    "That was splendid, Bocchan! But this child's yawn are really loud, aren't they?"

    "Let him be, he is just waking up from his nap"

    "Danna-sama, the voice amplifier"

    "Um? Oh, right"

    *CLICK*

    Eh?

    They will either show it when it become relevant during the fight or Van is just repressing memories of the statue.

    They will properly have a side chapter going in detail what was going on.

    Probably a POV chapter if they ever go in detail on it.

    Van going to Origin with his soul body would be like an elder god descending on earth, those who see him go mad or feel fear, plus as even his spawn Bander can clean whole of Origin of life like nothing. Though I think in such an event Origin God would interfere in a united way. So adding a baby dragon, no matter how cool looking would impact very little. Also Bander was made to be as close to a humanoid looking thing as possible at the time, that is the reason he does not give the mind break to others like Evil Gods unless you look VERY closely.

    Yeah but I doubt that van would go out of his way to destroy origin to the extent that the origin gods would get involved, at the very most he would clean the world of corruption and unite the world under his flag of something.

    Speeching of Bander, when he and Mei go to Lambda with Van, will he unify with Van or remain as an independent being? It would be kinda sad if he was to dissapear:blobcry:

    I think Bander to Van is similar how the Record God was to Alda, previously a construct made from a fragment of a soul that in time with different experiences develops a somewhat independent personality. Forcing a merging would be the same as killing. Also, one of the defecting Alda gods was also a soul fragment of his, meaning they can come to be completely separate entities.
