  • This card's Japanese name, "Mosquito Science Ninjitsu - Mosquito Repellent Flash" (蚊学忍法・蚊取り閃光 Kagaku Ninpō Katori Senkō) features the word "kagaku", the Japanese word for "science" with the first kanji ka (化) replaced with the similar-sounding kanji ka (蚊) meaning "mosquito". This naming scheme references the "Science Ninja Art" from the 1972 anime series, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.
    • "Mosquito Flash Repellant" is also given a kanji subtitle that reads Katori Senkō (蚊取り閃光), which is replaced with the similar-sounding kanji Katorisenkō (蚊取り線香), a mosquito repellant coil. Fittingly, in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL episode 117117: "Now or Never, Part 2", when this card's destruction effect is activated, it creates an explosive fuse that resembles a mosquito repellant coil.
