Why is Ghostrick Spoiled Angel also known as Dorklord?
I know some OCG cards have different names and art than the TCG cards, but what's a Dorklord? I tried to look it up and got no results. Also, if you happen to know, when does she come to TCG? Thanks~

In the OCG there is an archetype called 'datenshi', or 'Fallen angel'. For example, 'Datenshi Asumodiusu' - Fallen Angel Asmodeus. The Kanji for Fallen Angel is '堕天使', datenshi.
Ghostrick Spoiled Angel's name is 'Gōsutorikku no Datenshi' but the kanji for the 'da' in datenshi, is written with a different character ( 駄 instead of 堕 ) to give it a different meaning, 'Spoiled Angel'. It's a pun basically, different word, spoken the same.
In the TCG, Fallen Angel was renamed Darklord. So to keep the card's theme of the name being a pun based on an existing archetype, the card is named 'Dorklord'.
