  • This card's name, "Sabatiel" is likely a translation of "God's Sabbath".
  • The design of the sphere in this card's artwork is similar to the sphere featured in the artwork of "ZERO-MAX".
  • This card's name is based on the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary alchemical substance that is said to transform base metals into gold or silver. It was also believed to be created by the elixir of life, a potion that is also said to give the drinker the power to rejuvenate and the gift of eternal youth or immortality.
    • This card's name is a reference to the transformational power of the Philosopher's Stone, which allows the player to "transform" this card into any card from the Deck and the Graveyard.
      • However, this card's OCG/TCG effect of adding "Polymerization" or a "Fusion" card to the hand is a reference to how Jaden Yuki used that power during his Duel with Kagemaru by adding different cards belonging to the "Fusion" archetype from his Deck to his hand.
        • Before the start of the Duel in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode 04848: "Rise of the Sacred Beasts, Part 1", this card was posthumously given to Jaden by Lyman Banner, an alchemist who used an Alchemy Deck in the anime.
        • During the same Duel, this card's ATK-gaining effect was used on "Elemental HERO Electrum", where its TCG name is based on a gold-silver alloy and its Japanese name, "Elemental HERO Elixirer", both names which further reference the Philosopher's Stone's legend of being created by the elixir of life and its ability to transform metals into gold or silver.
