  • This card is named after tin, one of the seven metals used in alchemy.
  • This monster is based on an eagle, a large species of bird of prey of the Accipitridae family.
    • This card's Japanese name, "Aretos" is based on aetós (αετός), the Greek word for "eagle".
    • In alchemy, the eagle represents the transmutation of impure base metals into purer or finer metals, similar to how tin is commonly used as a base metal and a catalyst for transmutation.
    • In alchemy, the symbol of tin is represented by the planet Jupiter, which is named after the king of the Roman gods represented by the eagle in Roman mythology.
