• This was the first Link Monster revealed in the OCG/TCG., and the first Link Monster to be Summoned in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime.

• This monster and "Firewall Dragon" are the first ace monsters of a spin-off protagonist whose Type is neither Dragon nor Warrior, thus breaking the pattern of the spin-off protagonists' ace monsters (though "Decode Talker" does resemble a Warrior and "Firewall Dragon" does resemble a Dragon, so they only break the pattern semantically).
  • It is also the first time a protagonist uses a newly created Type (in this case, the Cyberse-Type).
  • This card eventually being replaced by the 2500 ATK "Firewall Dragon" as Yusaku's ace monster mirrors both Jaden Yuki's "Elemental HERO Flame Wingman", who eventually got replaced by the 2500 ATK "Elemental HERO Neos", and Yusei Fudo's "Junk Warrior", who eventually got replaced by the 2500 ATK "Stardust Dragon".

• This monster has a counterpart: "Encode Talker".

• This monster appears in the artwork of "Recoded Alive".
• This card can be viewed as a personification of Yusaku because it gain power by using others to achieve it's goals (like how Yusaku views Ignis as a tool for his ends), furthermore it's effect that requires sacrificing a monster who is linked to it for his safety is like how Yusaku wouldn't hesitate to delete Ignis if the Knight of Hanoi didn't stopped his destruction of LINK VRAINS.
