Card Trivia:Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth
Revision as of 09:54, 25 July 2014 by Aged Goblin (talk | contribs)
- Sophia (Σοφία) is the Greek word for wisdom.
- This card is based on the Aeon Sophia in Gnostic Mythology.
- This card bears a resemblance to the Baphomet, a medieval deity used as a symbol of duality, and in more recent times as a symbol of the Devil.
- This card appears in the artwork of "Jewels of the Valiant".
- This monster appeared in response to the pleas of "Winda, Priestess of Gusto" praying in the "Shrine of Mist Valley", and was summoned by the monsters depicted in the final battle of the Duel Terminal:
- The Special Summoning condition of this card refers to the powers of the "Gishki" (Ritual Monster), "Gem-Knight" (Fusion Monster), "Gusto", "Vylon", and "Laval" (Synchro Monster), "lswarm" and "Constellar" (Xyz Monster).
- On closer inspection, this card seems to have a representation of each of the elemental Duel Terminal archetypes in its artwork. "Sophia" has two "Gishki Aquamirrors" for a bra ("Gishki"), two armbands with differently colored gems ("Gem-Knight"), a pair of green wings sprouting from her head ("Gusto"), flaming hair ("Laval"), and orbs of light and darkness held in either hand ("Vylon" and "Constellar", and "Steelswarm" and "lswarm", respectively).
- This card's German lore has a major error; instead of Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monster from anywhere on the field, (...), it's printed Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster from anywhere on the field, (...) which would make it ridiculously easy to Summon this card.
- Her name is mentioned in the flavor text of "Qliphort Tool" as the name of a computing folder, in which a file cannot be run due to some unknown error.
