Card Trivia:Chopman the Desperate Outlaw
- This monster appears in the artwork of "Backfire".
- This monster is based on Chopman, a character from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. Chopman was a serial killer hired by Seto Kaiba to terrorize and ultimately murder Yugi Mutou and his friends. He faced Katsuya Jounouchi in a life-and-death game, and was killed when Jounouchi tricked him into setting himself on fire.
- Chopman's effect to equip an Equip Spell Card from the Graveyard is likely based on the game he played against Jonouchi, where both players chose a weapon and used it to try and kill the other.
- The appearance of this monster in the artwork of "Backfire" is a reference to Chopman's death, and features "Chopman the Desperate Outlaw" being blasted by the "backfire" from chopping apart "Blazing Inpachi".
- "The Kick Man" is likely a counterpart to this card.
- Both are themed around a common type of combat move: this card depicts a monster with "I ♥ CHOP" printed on his forehead, and "The Kick Man" is depicted with "I ♥ KICK" on his forehead.
- Both cards have a similar effect that equips an Equip Spell Card in the Graveyard to them when Summoned.
- "The Kick Man" appears in the card artwork of "Kickfire" in a manner that parallels the role of this monster in the artwork of "Backfire"; both "Backfire" and "Kickfire" are Continuous Trap Cards with damage-inflicting effects that require FIRE monsters to be destroyed.
