Card Trivia:Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss
- This card is based on the black Cherub, a character mentioned in Dante Aligheri's Divine Comedy. In Canto XXVII of the Inferno, the Francisian monk Guido I da Montefeltro recounts how he reluctantly gave advice to Boniface VII, only after Boniface had agreed to absolve him for the sin of his fraudulent counsel. After his death, St. Francis arrived to claim his soul for the saved, but a black Cherub appeared to assert Hell's superior claim over Guido.
- This monster's appearance borrows from traditional depictions of Cherubim as tetramorphs with four heads: that of a Lion, an Ox, an Eagle and a Man.
- The weapon in Cherubini's left hand are based on the biblical description of the weapons wielded by the Cherubim sent to guard the Garden of Eden: fiery swords "which turned every way..." This passage also suggests the wildly curving appearance of the sword seen in the artwork.
- This is the first "Burning Abyss" Link Monster to be released.
