Card Trivia:Mirage Knight
- "Mirage Dragon" is based on this monster's armor.
- This monster has a retrained counterpart: "Mirage Swordsman".
- This monster is based on the concept of a mirage, an optical illusion caused by light refraction or heated air that produces a displaced image.
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, when "Dark Flare Knight" is destroyed by battle, it leaves behind flames which cause this monster to appear. This is based on a heat haze, an inferior mirage observed when viewing objects through a mass of heated air.
- This monster's effect to banish itself after attacking or being attacked is based on how real-life mirages disappear from someone's point of view when they approach the displaced image of the object caused by the light refraction.
