::I think the relation to the legend of Shintoism because there is a point of contact in the Shinto shrine. However, I think that other legends mix(not Japanese legend).

== Design trivia: Relation to Anti-Matter, and Lovecraft Mythos and other sources == | |||
1.Giratina invokes the dark matter, or anti-matter aspect of the universe, as well as the parallel dimensions theories of the universe. Hey, if you're going to talk about space and time, don't forget other dimensions. | |||
2.While Dialga and Palkia look like dinosaurs of the past, Giratina invokes the horror of Lovecraftian other dimensional monsters. | |||
3.Giratina's two forms are based on that Pokemon world and Distortion world being somewhat opposite. While the D world is slim, snake, spider like, the pokemon world version is bulky, batty, basilisk like. | |||
4. The banishment of a rebellious god-like pokemon into the darkness is an obvious yet implied reference to the fallen angel of the Judeo-Christian tradition. | |||
5. Giratina's typing could be seen as rivaling that of non plate, normal Arceus.They both are immune to each other. | |||
6. Giratina's forms invoke aspects of creatures that are dreaded in western culture. (Snakes, bats, spiders, worms, scorpions, etc) | |||
7. Giratina's pokemon world form does invoke the idea of dinosaurs keeping in line with Dialga and Palkia, all three being ancient. | |||
