Card Trivia:Jelly Cannon
- Tokoroten, in this card's Japanese name, is a dish in Japanese cuisine made from agarophytes, a type of seaweed. Tokoroten was traditionally made by boiling tengusa (Geidium amansii) and then allowing the mixture to congeal into a jelly.
- This cannon is based on a tokoroten mold, which has cylindrical shape and small square holes in one end, so when the jelly is pushed out of the mold, it will form long noodles.
- This card's Japanese name is a play on the Japanese phrase Tokoroten-shiki (心太式), which literally means "Tokoroten-style", and figuratively means "doing things in an orderly manner, like how a Tokoroten is made".
- The card name uses hōshiki instead of shiki (式). hōshiki is the reading of 方式, which means "method" and is mostly synonymous with shiki. However, the card's kanji makes a play on hōshiki by using the homophonous characters of 砲式 instead of 方式, which literally means "cannon style", a play on the fact that the card depicts a Tokoroten-firing cannon.
