Revision as of 16:40, 8 June 2013 by 23.17.124.64 (talk)
- This card is based off the Dungeons & Dragons representation of a Mesopotamian god, Tiamat. Dungeons and Dragons depicts Tiamat as being a the five-headed god of evil dragons, with each head colored one of the primary colors of chromatic dragons - blue, green, red, black, and white.
- Accordingly, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" strongly resembles Bahamut, Tiamat's rival and god of good dragons.
- The mechanized head represents the WIND attribute, the center tan one represents the EARTH attribute, the black one represents the DARK attribute, while the FIRE and WATER heads represent their own attributes, respectively. There is no LIGHT attribute head, referencing its effect of only being able to be destroyed by LIGHT or DIVINE monsters.
