Card Trivia:Alector, Sovereign of Birds
Revision as of 22:05, 4 May 2012 by Billybennai (talk)
- Alector is the name of the father of Leitus, one of the acclaimed Argonauts. Homer, however, called him "Alectryon" in the story.
- Alector ("Aλέκτωρ") in Ancient Greek means rooster, referencing this card's birdlike appearance.
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia this card is named as "Divine Fowl King Alector" while in the description reads "Divine Bird King Alector".
- This could also be a reference to Alecto from Greek Mythology. Since Alecto's duty was to punish sinners, this card's effect to negate others and to Special Summon itself could be a reference to her abilities, along with its bird-like appearance.
- This card's effect is similar to that of "Black Ray Lancer", except that this card can negate face-up Spell and Trap cards as well.
- This card resembles Archlord Zerato.
- This card shares an odd distinction with "Kachi Kochi Dragon": They are both promo cards for manga volumes in which they do not appear.
