Dragon]]", both with 5 (each with 4 released in the ''TCG''). * With the release of ''[[Starter Deck: Kaiba Reloaded]]'', this card is the only card that has been printed in all rarities in the ''TCG'' (except [[Starfoil Rare]], [[Shatterfoil Rare]] and [[Mosaic Rare]]). * This card has several [[counterpart]]s: a [[DARK]] counterpart ("Red-Eyes B. Dragon"); a "[[Malefic]]" counterpart ("[[Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]"); a "[[Photon]]" counterpart ("[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]"); a "[[Tachyon]]" counterpart ("[[Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]"), a "[[White Night]]" counterpart ("[[White Night Dragon]]"); a "[[Chaos]]" counterpart ("[[Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End]]"); a "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]" counterpart ("[[Koa'ki Meiru Maximus]]"); a [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]] counterpart ([[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon]]"); a [[Match winner]] counterpart ("[[Legendary Dragon of White]]"); and a [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]] counterpart ("[[OddOCG-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]"). * This card, along with "Dark Magician", are the only 2 cards in the game to have had an official Chinese print before the release of ''[[Duel Starter Deck]]'' standardized Chinese as an ''[[OCG]]'' language. * This card is the [[cover card]] for the first ''TCG'' expansion, ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]''. * This card has the highest [[ATK]] of all [[Normal Monster]]s. * This monster appears in the artworks of "[[Burst Stream of Destruction]]", "[[Dimension Explosion]]" and "[[Meteor Stream]]". * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]'', the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" are named Azrael, Ibris (a mistranslated of [[wikipedia:Devil (Islam)image|Iblis]]), and Djibril. These are the Islamic names for the [[wikipedia:Destroying angel (Bible)|Angel of Death]], [[wikipedia:Satan|Satan]] ("Iblis"), and the angel [[wikipedia:Gabriel|Gabriel]], respectively. Azrael is an informal name, only occurring in non-religious sources (including both [[wikipedia:Sikhism|Sikhism]] and some Jewish lore as well), while Iblis is the lord of the [[wikipedia:jinn|jinn]], rather than the principal [[wikipedia:fallen angel|fallen angel]]. * This card has two younger versions: the [[Tuner monster]] "[[The White Stone of Legend]]", and the dragon displayed in the card "[[Paladin of White Dragon]]". * This card is [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]]'s [[signature card]]. It shares its 3000 ATK with the rivals of other series, which are [[Chazz Princeton|Chazz]]'s "[[Armed Dragon LV10]]", [[Jack Atlas|Jack]]'s "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]]'s "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and [[Declan]]'s "[[DDD Hell Armageddon the Cruel End Overlord]]". In the Viz translation of [[Seto Kaiba = Vendread Battlelord (manga)|Kaiba]]'s Duel against [[Ishizu Ishtar (mangaLinks)|Ishizu]], Kaiba states that the "Blue-Eyes" embodies his soul. Jack Atlas calls his "Red Dragon Archfiend" "Waga tamashi," which translates as "my very soul" in the Japanese, and Kite has called "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" "his soul" (Ore no tamashi).** In addition, many trump cards of other archetypes also share the same ATK and [[DEF]] (such as "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8|Horus LV8]]", "[[Judgment Dragon]]", "[[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode]]" and "[[Volcanic Doomfire]]"), and often the same Type as well. * In some ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' video games (''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories|Dark Duel Stories]]''), this card has an ally, the "[[Mystical Elf]]", which can increase the ATK and DEF of this card by 500. * In most expansion sets, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cards have the Set Number ****-**001. * The ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump March 2014 membership promotional card|Weekly Shonen Jump March 2014 membership promotional]]'' version of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is the first card to be printed with an italicized Matrix typeface used for its [[card text]]. On every card before it, the Matrix font is only used in regular type (not bold, not italic).}}
