  • This card's effect of reviving itself from the Graveyard is based on both of its namesakes:
    • Nephthys was an Egyptian goddess associated with birth and death, and in Egyptian mythology was the mother of Anubis, making her the true Queen of the Underworld.
    • The Phoenix is a mythological bird that this card somewhat resembles, though its body is more anthropomorphic in the vein of a Garuda. The phoenix is primarily known for its method of immortality, where it bursts into flames and dies only to reincarnate from its ashes.
