• This monster appears in the artwork of "Rebirth of the Seventh Emperors" and "Reincarnation of the Seventh Emperors".

• The Barian Emblem is featured on this monster's face.

• This monster's shield resembles a Chaos Overlay Unit used by the "CXyz" monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime.

• Part of this card's Japanese name is a subtle corruption of the Japanese name of "Number 39: Utopia": while the kanji of both cards' names are pronounced identically as Kibōō (きぼうおう), the Japanese name of "Utopia" is written 「希（き）望（ぼう）皇（おう）」, while this card's name is written 「冀（き）望（ぼう）皇（おう）」.

• This card is the first monster in the "Barian" archetype.
  • This card is also the first "CXyz" monster used by a Barian Emperor in the anime.

• This card has some distinctions compared to other "CXyz" monsters.
  • It is the only "CXyz" monster to have the same Overlay Units as the "Number C" monsters, likely because it inherited the combined power of the "Number C10X" monsters.
  • It is the only "CXyz" monster not to have a specific base form, though it can be stated that all the 7 "Number C10X" monsters are its base forms.
  • It is the only "CXyz" monster to have been Summoned through a regular Xyz Summon, as opposed to any method of Xyz Evolution.

• This monster is a combination of the seven "Number C10X" monsters. As such, it shares many physical elements with all of them:
  • "Number C101: Silent Honor DARK" and "Number C102: Archfiend Seraph": It uses a spear as its weapon.
  • "Number C103: Ragnafinity": It wears a three-pronged crown.
  • "Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade" and "Number C106: Giant Red Hand": Its color scheme is mostly red and black.
  • "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus": This card is a humanoid Warrior-Type monster.
  • "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon": This monster's 'hair' resembles its five mechanical tails (although their coloration is that of "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon").

• This monster's attack name in the original Japanese version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime, "Land Chariot Slash", is a reference to "Grand Chariot", one of the French names for the Big Dipper asterism that the Seven Barian Emperors are based on.

• This monster bears a very noticeable resemblance to the Sazabi of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, with its red color scheme, skirt armor, large shield, and yellow two-bladed weapon. This monster was also played against "Number 39: Utopia Beyond" in the anime, whose Japanese name is close to that of the film's ending theme, "Beyond the Time".
