* Konami has pointed out that the number of sentences of text on the ''[[TCG]]'' print of this card matches the number of lines and points in this card's symbol.<ref name=firstline/>
* This card's first effect, the 500 [[ATK]] boost, is the only one identical to its anime counterpart. Its second effect, not being destroyed once per turn, was displayed in the anime when [[Yami Yugi|Yugi]] tried to destroy [[Gurimo]]'s copy with "[[Dust Tornado]]"; while Gurimo claimed the card could not be destroyed at all, since it was never attempted to be destroyed again, Konami asserts that Gurimo was intentionally deceiving Yugi.<ref name=blanks/> Its third effect, limiting your opponent's choices for attacking your monsters, is a twist on its anime counterpart's effect to prevent the opponent from attacking monsters placed in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] by its other effect. Its fourth and fifth effects, preventing the user from Summoning monsters from the [[Extra Deck]] and destroying Special Summoned monsters, is based on what happened when this card was played by [[Yami Yugi]], destroying "[[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight]]" and reverting it to its unfused state, and the fact that [[Yami Yugi|Yugi]], [[Dartz]], [[Rafael]], [[Valon]], and [[Alister]] did not Fusion Summon after it was activated<ref>[https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=4229 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME » The Seal of Orichalcos: The Fourth & Fifth Lines]</ref> (notably, [[Rex Raptor]] did [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Horned Saurus]]" while controlling "The Seal" in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 161|episode 161]]). Its sixth line of text, a [[condition]], is based on the fact that a Duelist in the anime who uses this card once in a Duel will not be able to use it again, as either they will win the Duel and trap their opponent's soul in the card, or they will lose the Duel and their soul along with it (barring [[DRAW]]s).<ref name=blanks/>
* This is the only card to have received a printed [[The Seal of Orichalcos (mock-up)|mock-up]].
