Editing Card Trivia:Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth

{{Navigation}}

* Sophia (Σοφία) is the Greek word for wisdom.

* This card is based on the ''Aeon Sophia'' in Gnostic Mythology.

* This card bears a resemblance to the Baphomet, a medieval deity used as a symbol of duality, and in more recent times as a symbol of the Devil.

* This card appears in the artwork of "[[Jewels of the Valiant]]".

* This monster appeared in response to the pleas of "[[Winda, Priestess of Gusto]]" praying in the "[[Shrine of Mist Valley]]", and was summoned by the monsters depicted in the final battle of the Duel Terminal:
** "[[Gem-Knight Master Diamond]]"/"[[Gishki Zielgigas]]"
** "[[Constellar Ptolemy M7]]"/"[[Evilswarm Ouroboros]]"

*The [[Special Summoning condition]] of this card refers to the powers of the "[[Gishki]]" (Ritual Monster), "[[Gem-Knight]]" (Fusion Monster), "[[Gusto]]", "[[Vylon]]", and "[[Laval]]" (Synchro Monster), "[[lswarm]]" and "[[Constellar]]" (Xyz Monster).
** On closer inspection, this card seems to have a representation of each of the elemental Duel Terminal archetypes in its artwork. "Sophia" has two "[[Gishki Aquamirror]]s" for a bra ("Gishki"), two armbands with differently colored gems ("Gem-Knight"), a pair of green wings sprouting from her head ("Gusto"), flaming hair ("Laval"), and orbs of light and darkness held in either hand ("Vylon" and "Constellar", and "Steelswarm" and "lswarm", respectively).

* This card's German lore has a major error; instead of ''Must be [[Special Summon]]ed (from your [[hand]]) by [[banish]]ing 1 [[face-up]] [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], '''and''' [[Xyz Monster]] from anywhere on the field, (...)'', it's 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.

*Her name is mentioned in the flavor text of "[[Qliphort Tool]]" as the name of a [[wikipedia:Directory (computing)|computing folder]], in which a [[wikipedia:Computer file|file]] cannot be run due to some unknown error.
