  • In the Arabic anime dub, this card was called (المتعجرفة الأنيقة) literally "The Elegant Arrogant". It is better off to avoid using this name because it uses surprisingly harsh language when describing "Arrogant" turning it into a direct insult rather than a description.
  • The approximated Arabic name (المشكال الأنيق) literally means "Elegant Kaleidoscope". (The word "Kaleidoscope" is quite short in Arabic. Pronounced "Mish-kal")

Most Arabs, however, would much prefer the use of the dub name, since the phrase "المشكال الأنيق" "Elegant Kaleidoscope" sounds grammatically odd and unfamiliar to them, not to mention the fact that is not referenced in any standard Arabic dictionary or encyclopedia. (Check "Al-Qamoos al-Muheet" or "Lisan al-Arab", both of which are excellent references, for better use of Arabic words such as "Mishkal" or "muta'ajrifa")
