• This card's German lore has a major error; instead of Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monster from anywhere on the field, (...), it is printed Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster from anywhere on the field, (...) which would make it ridiculously easy to Summon this card.
