Card Trivia:Darkness Neosphere

From Yugipedia
Jump to: navigation, search
  • "Neosphere" is the Greek word for "new orb", referencing Nightshroud's desire to fold the entire world into the World of Darkness in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.
    • This card's name causes it to be a member of the "Neos" archetype. Fittingly, the background of this card's artwork appears to be "Neo Space", referencing how Nightshroud used this card against Jaden Yuki, who uses the "Neos" archetype in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.
  • This monster's appearance may be a corrupt version of Themis, the Greek goddess of justice who was blindfolded in order to be just.
    • Like Themis, this monster has its normal eyes blindfolded, referencing how Nightshroud promised Jaden that he will be judged before their Duel began in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode 177177: "Combo of Terror! "Zero and Infinity"".
      • However, this monster's corruption is based on the eyeballs that appears on its body (seen mostly in the anime and this card's OCG artwork), which seemingly mocks the idea of justice. This reflects Nightshroud's underhanded Dueling strategy, where he used his monsters to bypass the prohibiting effect of "Darkness" and look at his Set "Darkness" Continuous Trap Cards, claiming it to be his god-like power.
  • This monster's left claw likely references the myth of the left side of a person's body being considered evil, as being left-handed was frowned upon during the Middle Ages.
