• This monster is the cover card of Collectors Pack: Duelist of Flash Version and Duelist Pack: Dimensional Guardians.

• This is Kite Tenjo's signature card in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.

• The word "cipher" in this card's name could refer to the word's use as a symbol for the number zero, which in turn could reference either the "Number" archetype from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL or Kite's role as a Number Hunter in said series. It could also reflect that this dragon is no longer a "Number", nor does it has anything to do with "Numbers".
  • In addition, the "光波" used for "Cipher" translates to "light wave", mimicking how a photon is a light-carrying particle.

• This monster's shoulder plates and wing bases resemble those of "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon". This could be a reference to Kite's final Duel with Mizar, where the former used the true form of "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", "Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon", to defeat "Neo Tachyon Dragon". It is possible that upon defeating "Neo Tachyon", "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" took parts of the former's armor to wear for itself, either out of a need to repair itself or to have as a trophy.
  • The attack name of this monster is also inherited from the "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" (...of Annihilation) and "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (Photon Stream..), but with the word "Photon" changed to "Cipher", to match the name "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon".

• This is the first "Galaxy-Eyes" monster in the anime that doesn't appear in a sealed form when Summoned.

• It is also the first "Galaxy-Eyes" monster not to be created by the Numeron Code.

• Unlike Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, This card doesn't have a Number form.

• Like its ZEXAL counterpart, this dragon re-uses the roars of "Stardust Dragon".

• This monster appears in the artworks of "Double Cipher" and "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X Dragon".

• The dark background in this card's artwork could represent Kite Tenjo's aggression against Duel Academy.
  • The red lightning in this card's artwork can be seen in the artwork of "Cipher Wing".

• This card has three Ranked-Up evolved forms: "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon", "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon", and "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X Dragon".

• This card's ability to take control of an opponent's monster could be a reference to how Kite lost his family and thus wants revenge.
  • This is further exemplified in Kite's Duel with Dennis, as Kite took control of Dennis' monster in retaliation for Dennis having a hand at Lulu's kidnapping.
