Card Trivia:Fencing Fire Ferret

  • This card's OCG name (火舞太刀, kamai tachi) is a pun on kamaitachi (鎌鼬, literally "scythe-weasel"), which is a type of Japanese yōkai (supernatural creature). The two words are pronounced identically, but 火舞太刀 translates to "flame-dance long sword" rather than "scythe-weasel". Both of these meanings are reflected in this monster's design and artwork.
    • This card's TCG name is based on a different kind of wordplay, alliterating the ferret, a type of mammal, and fencing, a sport involving sword combat. The monster's tail also appears to be sword-like.
