Cardfight!! Vanguard Wiki
  • This card's title, "天竺" (Tenjiku, meaning "heaven") is the obsolete Japanese word for ancient India, being the Japanese pronunciation of the archaic Chinese name for India, "Tianzhu". It is used in such works as the Japanese translation of Journey to the West.
  • This card is likely named after Tenjiku Tokubei, a Japanese adventurer who had traveled to India, thus giving his title "Tenjiku", the obsolete name of India. The man is featured in kabuki play "Tenkiku Tokubei Kokubanashi" and joruri play "Tenjiku Tokubei Satonosugatami" as a magician, usually illustrated on a giant toad.
