@Obey Pyro

Not sure what you were saying you read wrong, but you are correct that it is the House of Vapula that has the lion-taming bloodline and that Sairaorg inherited it from her (instead of the Bael's power of destruction).

@anon1 and Akeno

It's hard not to notice the badass dragon armors (and the lion armor) but it has nothing to due with dragon or animal. The only two known Sacred Gears with 'normal' armored Balance Breaker forms are Boosted Gear and Divine Dividng. As explained in the LNs, Sairaorg's BB is a subspecies that took such a form because it fit his personality/fighting style. Azazel's artificial SG was largely modeled after the BG and the DD, thus it's no surprise that its BB state was an armor. Meanwhile, Saji's BB is due to the influence of Issei, similar to the shadow-SG-user from the trip volume that intro'd the Hero Faction.
