| - This card's name is "Saffira". It was only named "Saphira" when an English official name wasn't available. Even the Japanese translated name is being presented as "Dragon Princess Deity - Saffira". And it doesn't really resemble Eragon's dragon. So, I think this trivia is very fragile. Any opinions? At least, if something, the Portuguese word "safira" would be more appropriate than the French and the German ones. But even then. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 22:18, June 10, 2016 (UTC) I honestly see no problem with a mention of Eragon's Saphira, whether there is a direct connection between the two or not. From what I've seen on other wikis in the past, that was the [one] purpose of Trivia pages, to point out other characters/things with the same name, similar appearance, and so on, as the article's subject. There may or may not be any intentional similarities of the two (since we may never know what Konami or Kazuki Takahashi were thinking when they made the card), but it's Trivia nonetheless when you think about it.--Cyber Dragon (Talk) (Contributions) 12:11, June 30, 2016 (UTC) They don't look alike. Their names aren't the same, they just happen to be based on the same precious stone. It's just probably a coincidence. There is nothing similar about them (both of them being blue doesn't count, since that derives from the fact they are based on a blue gemstone). The only common characteristic between them is they are both female dragons, based on a sapphire. I think that's something too sparse to link them in any way. There are probably more dragons based on sapphires out there. I just don't think it's necessary. But let's see if more people post here and, if the majority thinks it's worth pointing it out, we'll point it out. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 17:56, June 30, 2016 (UTC) Personally, I'm in agreement with Becasita. There are a lot of bad precedents in the trivia pages, with only remote similarities being brought up. For example, and I'm slightly ashamed of this because I supported it at the time, there was a comparison of Neo Tachyon to Cyber End Dragon because it was a mechanical three headed dragon, and it came after Neo Photon, which was a 4500 ATK beatstick along the vein of Blue-Eyes Ultimate. That aforementioned trivia, if you want to call it that, is not as good a trivia point compared to more concrete relations like Super Quantums to Power Rangers. "X looks like Y if you squint hard enough" or "These 2 things happen to share a name" isn't very good trivia, if I'll be honest. "X is a reference to Y, and we can draw these 23 parallels between them" is much better. Basically, they happen to share a name and both happen to be female dragons, but there's no real relation as far as I can see. They'd have to release an Eragon or at least a rider counterpart for me to begin supporting keeping this trivia point. Aeron Solo wuz here (If you wanna talk) 19:41, June 30, 2016 (UTC)
