I was watching one piece and came across with the title `シャンクス見参!` without
`が`. I want to google it by myself the answer but I am not sure the proper
keyword so I ask about it here. would you tell me why there is no `が` in the
title? if you have link reference about, I'd love to read it.

And what's the meaning of it? the subtitle translate it as `shanks appears`.
is that correct? but I tried google translate and it gave me worse translation
`Shanks kenzan`.

question
particle-が
シャンクス見参! why there is no が in that sentence?
I think it's because it's an old-fashioned set phrase using old grammar.
(Incidentally, it should be が if you dare to use any).

answer
I think it is because the omission of this が make a stronger impression on
people and shorten a sentence. So it is often used in titles.

When I make シャンクス見参 a sentence, it become シャンクスが見参する(した) but it is a bit long
as a title, so it become シャンクス見参 as less word as possible but not to change
the meaning.

Other examples are ヒーロー登場, ジャックス参上, 首相辞任, 日本連勝 etc.

A dictionary said 見参 means 目上の人が目下の者に会ってやること or 参上して目上の人に対面すること.シャンクス見参 means
probably "Shanks came to see".

answer
Japanese often omits "助詞" (particles) from sentences.

For example:

> 先生が言ってたよ！→ 先生、言ってたよ！
>
> このぬいぐるみが欲しい。→ このぬいぐるみ欲しい。

In your case:

> シャンクスが見参した！→ シャンクス、見参！
>
> シャ ン ク ス / け ん ざ ん  
>  sya n ku su (4 morae) / ke n za n (4 morae)

This tempo sounds good, natural and impressive, the first and second half
having the same number of morae/syllables.

My English is not good. Please edit somebody! Bye!
