### Dragon Gate

A special variation of **Dragon Gate** (龍門ドラゴン・ゲート, *Doragon Gēto*) can be utilized to summon a Dragon to a certain location. To do so, a ritual is required to be prepared and several other Dragons or Sacred Gear users that have a Dragon's soul sealed inside their Sacred Gear have to be present, at the bare minimum 3 Dragons have to be present to forcibly summon another Dragon. The more dragons there are and the stronger they are, the stronger Dragon they can summon. To summon a powerful Dragon God like Great Red would require multiple if not all of the Dragon Kings.

Individuals make a Familiar pact with a Dragon can utilize Dragon Gate magic to summon it.

While initially only Dragons can utilize Dragon Gates to summon other Dragons, it is possible for others to use other methods to summon Dragons. Using the Nine-Tailed Fox along with Kyoto's leylines would allow someone to achieve a similar effect.

When the Trihexa fully awakened after the death of Rizevim Livan Lucifer, Shiva paid a visit to the Underworld to meet Ajuka Beelzebub to discuss about the Trihexa, which Shiva revealed that he won’t be able to defeat it when he faces the divine beast. During the rampage of the Evil Dragons and Fake Scale Mails, the Hindu Gods, such Varuna, Hanuman, Ganesha, and the Asura clan helped defend their lands from the rampage. When the Trihexa was sealed in the Isolation Barrier Field, the major Hindu Gods with the exception of Shiva and Indra, sealed themselves to contain the beast and with Brahma and Vishnu pleading to Shiva to remain behind to help defend the world as a stopping force.

After the Azazel Cup was formed, Shiva became one of the organizer of the tournament alongside Ajuka.

The crossguard is a rectangular bar colored black, with gold symbols etched onto it a brown X-mark in the middle, and features a red semi-circle protrusion on both sides of the crossguard. The blade is black with a red edge, but a red aura sometimes shrouds it giving it a dark red color all around.

The blade also sports three hollow holes in the form of a triangle and is located in the middle of the blade curving upwards. At the bottom of the blade, there is a piece of metal, acting as a fuller, it has red lines on it that increase in height but it stays on the golden part and the fuller at the bottom is in the shape of a rectangle standing upwards, the difference is that the top left has a large amount taken of off it, which makes the left side shorter compared to the right.
