TL note: For more info on the themes, you can check our VBEX article (now slightly updated because the reference arts in the VBEX were not very readable).

TL note: The words “sextant” (六分儀, rokubungi) and “armillary sphere” (天球儀, tenkyuugi) both use the character gi “儀”, which is one of the two characters for the word for ritual (儀式, gishiki), adding to the word play of this ritual-based theme.

TL note: We have previously translated this reference art in our VBEX article (now updated).

TL note: The VBEX also had this reference art, with a few variations for the head, but the picture at the time was too small too read. We have updated the article with these scans. The notes are the same.

TL note: Just in case, both the reference art and the actual card have a “right” shoulder shaped like the Big Dipper, but this note is depicting a “left” shoulder.

Thanks to our anonymous contributors for the scans.
