create implication dodonpachi -> donpachi_(series)
create implication dodonpachi_daioujou -> donpachi_(series)
create implication dodonpachi_daifukkatsu -> donpachi_(series)
create implication dodonpachi_saidaioujou -> donpachi_(series)

Created a separate tag for the series, qualified with "(series)" to allow room for a tag for the first game, DonPachi, if ever needed. DoDonPachi is a direct continuation of the DonPachi story, so DoDonPachi is not its own subseries. In fact, DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou is the one with no characters from previous games.

Although every game after the first is called DoDonPachi, it is the "DonPachi series". Although "DoDonPachi series" has 2.4x more English results on Google than "DonPachi series", "DonPachi series" is currently used by Wikipedia, Shmups Wiki, TV Tropes, MobyGames, Giant Bomb, and Sega Retro.

Additionally, the official Cave website for DoDonPachi Resurrection (the 5th game) says (emphasis added):

As the name suggests, that bee series is back! Six years after the previous work "Donpachi Bee Daisei", the latest series "Donpachi Bee Great Resurrection" has appeared. Popular illustrator Kouji Ogata is in charge of character design. The game system is also evolving while following the flow of the bee series.

Though this is a poor translation, the "Bee" doesn't act as the "Do" here. Bee is in the original title, DonPachi. The "Do" (怒) means Furious, but wasn't included here. Other than that, it's a pun with gunfire, because it's a SHMUP. Dododododododonpachi.

Never figured out what does and doesn’t get a “series” tag tbh.

Everything with a small but not tiny number of posts. There are just a lot that haven't been fixed because it's mostly old games that most people don't care about. Instead of "donpachi" the first game would be tagged as "donpachi 1" or something. Like diablo 1 and doom i.
