The items that previously contained the Legendary Planets correspond to the actual planets' astronomical symbols
  • The ten items listed are: a crown, a scepter, a cross, a spherical oil lamp, a large cape-like cloth, a large disc with a small hole in the center, a jagged-looking blade, a solid hunk of metal in an hourglass-ish shape, a spherical censer like the kind normally associated with Christian rituals, and two metal emblems – a disc and a flat triangle – connected together by a chain.
  • NASA's list of the planets' astronomical symbols also relates them to a particular item: The Sun: a shield with a circle inside; Mercury: the head and winged cap of Mercury; Venus: the female symbol; Earth: a globe bisected by meridian lines into four quarters; Mars: the shield and spear of the god of war; Jupiter: a hieroglyph of the eagle, Jove's bird; Saturn: an ancient scythe or sickle; Uranus: Combined devices indicating the Sun plus the spear of Mars; Neptune: the trident of Neptune; Pluto: a monogram made up of P and L in Pluto (and also the initials of Percival Lowell, who predicted its discovery).
  • By combining these two details, an item can be assigned to every planet:
    • The sun is the large disk with a hole in the center perfectly corresponds to the shield with a circle inside.
    • Mercury's cap is the crown.
    • The female symbol (♀) is the spitting image of an upside down Christian censer.
    • The Earth is a sphere split by a cross.
    • Mars symbol resembles a spherical oil lamp.
    • Jupiter's symbol is reminiscent of a feathered cape.
    • Saturn's scythe corresponds to the jagged blade.
    • Uranus' symbol is a spear linked with a shield that is depicted as a triangle linked to a circle: the emblems.
    • Neptune's trident doubles as a staff.
    • The PL monogram of Pluto is shaped similarly to an hourglass, just like the solid hunk of metal.
    • Jossed: It has been confirmed that the crown corresponds to Pluto, the lamp to Venus, the hunk of metal to Neptune, that the scepter, cross, disk, and censer correspond to either the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus and that the cape, blade, and emblem relate to either Mercury, Earth, or Mars.
Not only did Shadow Stella escape Dark Simorgh's cave, she's still with the party and has been possessing Nadia
Shadow Stella makes continuous mention of the fact that she'll be able to escape the cave after having defeated Stella in a duel and she succeeds in defeating our protagonist. Protection later states that the dark reflections created by the cave are unable to survive long on their own, but what if it had help? After Shadow Stella wins, a dark cloud explodes from the cave. Our party successfully avoids the cloud with the help of Simorgh of Protection, but Nadia jumps back in, ostensibly to retrieve the Magician of Black Chaos' card that was placed in the Different Dimension Capsule. We don't see anyone else emerge from the cave, but, after ten minutes, Nadia comes out of the cloud seemingly unharmed. What could the Archfiend Heiress have been doing for so long in there other than offering Shadow Stella a deal with a devil?
  • During the latter parts of the Duelist Kingdom tournament, Nadia's speech begins to change font, particularly when she is angered. This could be nothing more than a bit of Painting the Medium to express her rage, but her speech infrequently changes to the exact same font that Shadow Stella used during her duel.
  • Confirmed as of chapter 121.
