- This card is a retrained version of "Black Luster Soldier".
- This card has the longest name of any card in the TCG.
- This card was Forbidden for twelve formats (exactly six years) before becoming Limited once more, longer than any card (surpassing "Dark Hole"'s nine).
- This is a cover card for Dark Revelation Volume 2.
- This card is featured on the artwork of "Primal Seed".
- This card is possibly the rival of "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End".
- Both "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" and "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End", have less powerful versions of themselves known as the Sky Scourges, "Sky Scourge Enrise" and "Sky Scourge Norleras" respectively. The Sky Scourges have similar effects and summoning requirements to the envoys as well, although the removal of monsters from the Graveyard is both Type- and Attribute-specific.
- In addition to the Sky Scourges, "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion" and "Demise, King of Armageddon" have effects based on the Envoys, with the former based on this card.
- "Sky Scourge Enrise" and "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion" both have half the effect of this card.
- There is also a card called "Chaos Sorcerer" with a less powerful version of this card's effect (though no such counterpart exists for "Chaos Emperor Dragon") (though one could note "Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus" as a worthy counterpart)
- Both of the two envoy cards possibly allude to epic poems that tell of heroic knights or warriors fighting against dragons who were portrayed as powerful, but evil creatures in medieval times. An example would be Beowulf when he went to fight against a dragon in his last quest before his death.
- When Dimitri uses Yugi's deck, he uses "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", meaning that Yugi had the card in his deck after the end of the series.
- Despite the fact that during Dimitri's duel it is stated that this card is so rare it was thought not to exist, in GX Episode 49 It is seen in, what appears to be, Solomon Muto's card shop being viewed by two kids when Kagemaru begins to absorb duel spirits.
- This card could possibly represent Ra, who was, in Egyptian mythology, the first of all of the gods to rise from chaos, as the name says Envoy of the Beginning, while Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End could represent Apep, the Chaos snake who threatened to destroy all creation by swallowing the sun.
