Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen

 In Nordic mythology, Valhalla is a great hall within Asgard, the home of the gods, where dead heroes were taken by Odin and the Valkyries, partying with the gods, and preparing to battle in Ragnarök.

Curiously, the architectural style used in the design of the hall is Ancient Greek instead of Ancient Norse.

This card has a Zombie-Type counterpart: Call of the Mummy.

This card's ability to Special Summon Fairy-type monster from the Graveyard in the manga is instead given to the OCG/TCG version of Athena (who doesn't have this effect in the manga).
