Card Trivia

 This monster is based on Galileo Galilei.
This is further expressed in the design of the card, which has multiple switches operating a massive telescoping lens. Galilei discovered that the planets of the Solar System did not revolve around the Earth, but around the Sun instead, proving the works of Johannes Kepler.
This card is a polar opposite to D/D Savant Kepler in terms of its Level, Pendulum Scale and Pendulum Effect.
In the anime, the initial Pendulum Scale-increasing effect of this card is explained by this card being an unstable Pendulum Monster prototype.

"You cannot Pendulum Summon monsters, except "D/D" monsters. This effect cannot be negated." effect does not start a Chain Link.: D/D Savant Galilei

"Once per turn, during your Standby Phases: Increase this card's Pendulum Scales by 2 (max. 10), then destroy all monsters you control with a Level lower than or equal to this card's Pendulum Scales, except "D/D" monsters." effect starts a Chain Link.

"During either player's turn: You can discard this card, then target 1 "D/D" card or 1 "Dark Contract" card you control; return it to the hand." effect is a Quick Effect. (Discarding this card from your hand is a cost. This effect targets 1 "D/D" card or 1 "Dark Contract" card you control.)

This monster effect cannot be activated during the Damage Step.

Even if the Pendulum Scales of "D/D Savant Galilei" are 9, the Pendulum Effect is still activated during the Standby Phase. In that case, its Pendulum Scales become 10, and the "then" effect is applied. Also, even if the Pendulum Scales of "D/D Savant Galilei" are 10, the Pendulum Effect is still activated during the Standby Phase. In that case, since you cannot increase the Pendulum Scales beyond 10, the "then" effect is not applied.: If the Pendulum Scales of "D/D Savant Galilei" are 9 or 10, is the Pendulum Effect of "D/D Savant Galilei" activated during the Standby Phase?

If the Pendulum Scales of "D/D Savant Galilei" and "D/D Savant Kepler" have changed by their own effects and their Pendulum Effects are negated by "Spell Canceller", their Pendulum Scales return to their original values written on the card. After that, if the effect of "Spell Canceller" is no longer applied, their Pendulum Scales will start changing again during your Standby Phase, starting from the values written on the card.: If the Pendulum Effect of "D/D Savant Galilei" and "D/D Savant Kepler" are negated by "Spell Canceller", what happens with their Pendulum Scales?

Each time the "Once per turn, during your Standby Phases: Increase this card's Pendulum Scales by 2 (max. 10), then destroy all monsters you control with a Level lower than or equal to this card's Pendulum Scales, except "D/D" monsters." effect resolves, this card's Pendulum Scales are increased by 2.
1st time: Pendulum Scale 1 -> Pendulum Scale 3
2nd time: Pendulum Scale 3 -> Pendulum Scale 5
3rd time: Pendulum Scale 5 -> Pendulum Scale 7
4th time: Pendulum Scale 7 -> Pendulum Scale 9
5th time: Pendulum Scale 9 -> Pendulum Scale 10: When the Pendulum Effect of "D/D Savant Galilei" resolves, what happens with the Pendulum Scales?
