- This was Seto Kaiba's special card for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light.
- This monster serves as the rival of "Sorcerer of Dark Magic", which serves as the Yugi Muto's special card in the movie. Both monsters feature an additional effect in the movie, which they lacks in the OCG/TCG.
- Ironically, despite its name, this monster's eyes are depicted colored yellow in Pyramid of Light.
- This monster is a "Blue-Eyes" counterpart to "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon":
- Both monsters are wyverns, a species of dragon that possess only two legs, with inorganic appearances.
- Both monsters share the same original ATK and DEF as their original forms ("Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", respectively) but with two Levels higher, and feature effects that increase their ATK by 300 for each Dragon monster in the Graveyard.
- However, this monster requires "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" as a Tribute (the Fusion form of three "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"s), and has an additional effect that can negate Spell/Trap Card effects, while "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" only requires "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" as a Tribute and possesses no further effects.
- In the TCG, this card was released in August 2004, but "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" was not released until January 2006. This meant that for nearly a year and a half, it was impossible to Summon this card, even though it was legal for tournament use.
- Originally, this was one of the most difficult monsters to Summon, due to the fact that three copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and a Fusion Summoning card like "Polymerization" were all needed (in the hand and/or on the field) to Fusion Summon the required "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", while also requiring this card in the hand in order to Summon itself.
- However, in modern times, there are many methods of quickly assembling three copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in the hand, field, and/or Graveyard (as well as this card in the hand), while there are also multiple ways of Fusion Summoning "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" using the Graveyard, such as via "Dragon's Mirror", "Necro Fusion", and "Ultimate Fusion".
- Ironically, if Summoned this way and no other Dragon monsters are in the Graveyard, this card would have 4200 ATK (from the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and one "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" in the Graveyard), and be weaker than the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" used for its Special Summon (which has 4500 ATK).
