• So far, this is the strongest "Numbers" and the strongest Rank 3 Xyz Monster in terms of ATK and DEF.

• This card is the third Rock-Type Xyz Monster; the first being "Gachi Gachi Gantetsu", and the second "Gem-Knight Pearl".
  • Though this card is the first Rock-Type "Number" monster.
  • Also, this card is the first WATER Rock-Type monster ever released.

• This card's number may refer to its ATK/DEF, as well as its Rank.

• Coincidentally, this card's JUMP release in March 2012 will make it the 30th Xyz Monster released in the TCG.

• Before the release of Heavy Machinery King Doboku Zaku, this card was tied with Thunder End Dragon as being the TCG/OCG Xyz Monster with the highest Attack Points, both at 3000.
  • However, this card has a stronger DEF by 1000.

• This card resembles "Lava Golem".
  • Both are Semi-Nomi, can damage their controller during their Standby Phase, and have 3000 ATK.
  • Ironically they both have opposite attributes.

• This card is similar to "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon".
  • "Leviathan" can reach to 3000 ATK through its effect, which is same as the original ATK of this card.
  • Both cards have limitations in attacking when they do not have any Xyz Materials.
  • The attribute of both cards are WATER and both are "Number" monsters.
  • Both were used by Ryoga Kamishiro at one point. They can both have an ATK of 3000.

• This card's final anime effect, when targeted for an attack, is similar to the final effect of "Number 39: Utopia", excluding the effect damage.

• The right side of its torso appears to be part of its rib cage as if it burned itself with its acidic properties.

• This card's sealed form in the anime resemble a cluster of crystals.

• This card's number proceeds in the pattern of Kaito's known Numbers; going from 10 to 20, and now this card being 30, all in intervals of 10's.
  • Unlike the previous two Numbers (Number 10 and Number 20), this card is WATER, rather than LIGHT.
  • With this in mind, and that this card is also Rank 3, it may allude to how Shark temporarily takes it from Kaito during their duel, as Shark is known for using Rank 3 WATER Xyz Monsters.

• Despite being the strongest "Number" monster by stats so far, it also has the biggest drawbacks.

• Just like the principles of low-Leveled monsters with high ATK/DEF and easy Summoning, it also comes with negative effects.
