Card Trivia:Emperor's Staff


 * The Hierophant's Wand was renamed The Emperor's Wand in the English version of the anime, but this attribution is not correct. It is likely that the rename was made because "hierophant" is a religious term--in [Sartorius]'s Tarot spreads, the dub calls it "The Prince," just how the dub calls The Death "The Reaper." It is also obvious from the illustration that the hand does not belong to The Emperor (who has hands resembling a "claw machine"), let alone to any [Arcana Force] monster which has had a card made of it to date. Going in kind with Tarot meanings, The Emperor would have a staff or sword, not a wand--but The Hierophant is usually depicted with a wand or crosier.
