Etymology
According to Declan Akaba, "D/D/D" is short for "Different Dimension Demon"[1] (ディファレント・ディメンション・デーモン Difarento Dimenshon Dēmon).[2] The "D/D/D" archetype marks the first time that monsters with the word "Demon" (or "Daemon") in their names are released in the TCG, with said word intact. However since the word "Demon" is simply represented in the card names via an acronym, the use of this word is comparatively subtle.
