  • This card's Japanese name, "Numbers 41: Bagooska the Drunk Sleeping Demon Beast" (No.41 泥睡魔獣バグースカ Nanbāzu Yonjūichi Deisuimajū Bagūsuka) features multi-layered puns.
    • "Bagooska" is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "tapir" (バク Baku) and the Japanese onomatopoeia for sleeping (グースカ Gūsuka).
      • This monster is based on the baku, a supernatural being in Japanese mythology that resembles the Malayan tapir, who devours nightmares.
    • The pronunciation of the kanji for "heavy sleep" (泥睡 Deisui) is similar to the kanji for "dead drunk" (泥酔 Deisui), reflecting how this monster is completely unconscious from drinking too much.
      • This is shown in this card's Japanese artwork depicting beer bottles and cans littered near this monster.
