| − | * This card is based on the [[wikipedia:Microcosm–macrocosm analogy|microcosm–macrocosm analogy]], a historical view of a structural similarity between the human being (the microcosm) and the cosmos as a whole (the macrocosm). | + | * "[[F.A. Sonic Meister]]" appears in this card's artwork. |
| − | ** This card's artwork is based on the top half of English philosopher, [[wikipedia:Robert Fludd|Robert Fludd]]'s analogy between the person and the cosmos, where the cosmic analogy is applied to human physiology, which can be better viewed in this card's Japanese artwork [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Gallery:Macro_Cosmos#/media/File:MacroCosmos-TF04-JP-VG.jpg]. The top circle with the flora design is analogous to the [[wikipedia:Empyrean|Empyrean]], a realm occupied by the classical element of [[wikipedia:Aether (classical element)|aether]]; the chest represents the [[wikipedia:Classical planets|classical planets]] where the Sun is represented by the heart; and the abdomen is represented by the [[wikipedia:Sublunary sphere|sublinary sphere]].
| |
| − | *** Fittingly, this card's effect of [[Special Summon]]ing "[[Helios - The Primordial Sun]]" reflects the Sun portion of the analogy. Also, in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime, when this card is activated, it transports the [[Duelist]]s into a cosmic realm occupied by the planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Along with "Helios" representing the Sun, these planets make up six of the seven classical planets, which are astronomical objects visible to the naked eye.
| |
| − | ** The diagram in this card's artwork is also based on the ''microcosm'' in the [[wikipedia:Kabbalah|Kabbalah]], represented by the "[[wikipedia:Adam Kadmon|Adam Kadmon]]" and the "[[wikipedia:Tree of Life|Tree of Life]]", where the latter is represented in the Kabbalah as a union of eleven attributes and emanations called the [[wikipedia:Sefirot|Sefirot]].
| |
| − | *** Among the eleven attributes of the Sefirot represented in this card's artwork, the first six among them include ''Keter'' (Crown), ''Hokhmah'' (Wisdom), ''Binah'' (Understanding), ''Daat'' (Knowledge), ''Gevurah'' (Judgement) and ''Hesed'' (Mercy), while the other five attributes of ''Tiferet'' (Beauty), ''Hod'' (Ascention), ''Nezah'' (Victory), ''Yesud'' (Foundation) and ''Malkhut'' (Kingdom) do not appear.

| − | * In the Spanish version of ''[[Ra Yellow Mega Pack]]'', this card's text is incorrect, seemingly occurring as a result of a mistranslation of the English text: where it says "''Mientras esta carta esté '''en boca arriba el Campo''', cualquier carta mandada al Cementerio es, '''en vez''', desterrada''", it should say "''Mientras esta carta esté '''boca arriba en el Campo''', cualquier carta mandada al Cementerio es, '''en su lugar''', desterrada''". | + | * [[wikipedia:Downforce|Downforce]] refers to the downwards [[wikipedia:Lift force|lift force]] generated by a vehicle's aerodynamic features, which gives an automobile's tires more grip on the surface it's in contact with. |
| | + | ** This is reflected in this card's artwork, as the downforce allows "F.A. Sonic Meister" to travel across the ceiling of the tunnel. |
