This card's name, appearance, and effect are based on the real-life concept of balloons being blown up.
As air is pumped into the balloon, it will grow bigger until the excessive air inside or an external force on a small area of the balloon causes it to burst. This reflects this card's effect placing a counter on this card during the player's Standby Phase, where destroying this card would cause it to inflict the effect damage at the player who destroyed it.
This card can give the player a victory similar to the victory condition of "Final Countdown", both involving the required 20 turn count to activate its effect. This card can inflict 8000 damage (this card's 400 damage x 20) while "Final Countdown" ends in 20 turns; however, with this card, only the player's turns count whereas the opponent's turns arerequired for the victory condition of "Final Countdown".
