Blue Dragon started out as a 2006 Role-Playing Game for the Xbox 360, developed by several of the people behind the Final Fantasy series and the artwork of the Dragon Quest franchise. It's basically Akira Toriyama, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Nobuo Uematsu'snote called the Square Dream Team by fans, as they previously collaborated on Chrono Trigger attempt at a Cliché Storm, after seeing how cliche RPGs had become.Shu, Jiro and Kluke live in a remote village that, once a year, is attacked by a mechanical creature known as the Land Shark. One year, in an attempt to fight it off, they are carried off by it to the flying fortress of the ancient Nene, where they are trounced and a mysterious voice grants them Living Shadows with the ability to use magic.Stealing (and crash-landing) an airship, they set off to get home and find a way to take down Nene for good...A sequel/spin-off was produced for the Nintendo DS in 2009. It was called Blue Dragon Plus, which is a Strategy RPG in which nearly all of the supporting cast from the first game also gain Shadow magic powers and join the main party.A final third Action RPG DS game, Awakened Shadow, starring another customizable hero/-ine, was released worldwide in 2010. After literally everyone gained Shadow Magic in Plus, it's disappeared from the world and the player character has to help Shu and friends bring it back. Its single player mode suffered, to say the least, from a focus on multiplayer and an overall lack of polish; although it is a nice alternative to Tales of the Tempest.In Awakened Shadow, the Hub Level becomes littered with inter-dimensional doors leading to a dozen Superbosses that are nearly impossible to defeat in single-player, with some hidden dungeons that could have benefited the game's short main quest had they been included.There was also an anime adaptation that had a different plot and introduced a new girl, Bouquet (who had the strange ability to become invisible while naked), along with her Hippo Shadow, to the cast. The dub went through some pretty heavy editing in places, mostly due to how Bouquet was presented in the original. The anime eventually received a sequel called Blue Dragon: Trials of the 7 Shadows and begins by following Shu and Bouquet, two years later, dealing with the aftermath of the events in the previous series. Both anime adaptations are 51 episodes long.The entire anime series is available uncut on Hulu (provides a link to the sequel as well).The games include examples of: | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| Blue Dragon (Video Game) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Bouquet, the ditzy barmaid, and Homeron. They surprisingly did not make an appearance in Blue Dragon Plus, even though anything that breathed from the first game was part of the party. Hell, a couple of things that didn't breathe in the original game joined the party. The closest the games come to referencing Bouquet is in Awakened Shadow, where you can make a female PC with Bouquet's hairstyle and eyes (both the default choices when starting a new game, although the hairstyle has some slight differences and the eyes aren't purple). | |

Invisible Streaker | |
| Blue Dragon (Video Game) / int_3e823033 | comment |
Invisible Streaker: Bouquet. She can become completely invisible, but only when she's naked. The viewer can still see her, but Scenery Censor, Shoulders-Up Nudity, and Toplessness from the Back angles are used to conceal any naughty bits. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Blue Dragon (Video Game) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: For the anime, the characters' appearances are mostly the same as they are in the game, except for small details like Jiro's hair being gray instead of black, if not much else... The entire story is almost completely different from the one in the games, with many changes to the first game's base plot of "Nene terrorizes the world's towns for his own amusement" (for example, unlike the games, Shu and Jiro aren't childhood friends, starting off as rivals as soon as they meet, Zola is introduced almost immediately instead of midway through the plot, Nene's army includes human soldiers, and the shadows are voiced characters in their own right instead of just extensions of the user). | |

Chickification: Kluke plays the role of damsel in distress far more often in the anime than she did in the original game (which was once). | |

Belly Dancer | |
| Blue Dragon (Video Game) / int_5f8e4390 | comment |
Belly Dancer: In Episode 9 of Trials of the 7 Shadows, the group comes across Donna and Reina, two twin dancers who have the power to steal the souls of jealous people. They were originally penniless on the streets, losing their money to other beautiful dancers until Mikheil offered the two Dragon Scales, which made them appear more beautiful and gave them their soul-stealing powers. | |

Buxom Beauty Standard: Bouquet's exceptionally buxom is often focused on by the male character or the Male Gaze. | |

The Anime of the Game: There are two of them, with the second essentially being the "second season" of the first. The second is called Blue Dragon: Trials of the Seven Shadows and takes place two years after the first. | |

Ms. Fanservice | |
| Blue Dragon (Video Game) / int_b032e4ed | comment |
Ms. Fanservice: Bouquet, in one of the most transparent examples of the trope. In the first series, she's introduced boobs-first and her innate invisibility powers only activate when she's nude, which would make her an inversion, except she's drawn more often than not as a blue ghost during these scenes, allowing viewers to see her even when they shouldn't. Additionally, her Hippo Shadow is essentially useless, nearly making her into an anime Joke Character when it comes to combat. Even after it gains a useful combat ability, The Worf Effect makes sure that she and her Shadow don't really succeed at using it well. | |

Underwear Flag: In the original Japanese version of the anime, Marumaro hangs a pair of Kluke's panties from a flagpole, much to her ire. | |

Suddenly Voiced: The shadows are merely extensions of their user in the game, whereas they become voiced characters in their own right in the anime. | |
