From Yugipedia
Jump to: navigation, search
  • This card's name is based on the Japanese term, "Ultra C", which is used as a metaphor for Japanese athletes to perform on a level beyond the best score, or to give "110%".
    • This card's Japanese name, "Uratra C" (ウラトラC Uratora Shī) is a portmanteau of "Ultra C" and "ura" (the Japanese word for "reverse side"), the latter referencing Flip Turner's verbal tic, personal philosophy, and usage of Flip monsters.
      • Also, "Ura" in this card's Japanese name is also short for "uragiri" (裏切り), the Japanese word for "betrayal", which is reflected in this card's effect of Special Summoning an opponent's Xyz Monster from their Extra Deck to their field, thereby allowing their Xyz Monster to "betray" their owner.
        • Additionally, this also reflects Flip's backstory, who was "betrayed" by bullies who took his cards under false pretenses of teaching him to Duel, and "betrayed" Yuma Tsukumo's friendship by using "Baby Tiragon" to take control of "Number 39: Utopia".
