Doppelwarrior

 This card's name is likely based on the German word doppelgänger, as it creates a copy of itself, which is present as the faded secondary monster image. It can also be based on the German word doppelt meaning double, which also refers to its effect. The German origin of the name is highlighted by the fact that the man in this card looks a lot like a soldier of the Wehrmacht, including the iconic Stahlhelm.
