- After "Token", this card is tied with "Dark Magician" for having the most alternate artworks in the OCG/TCG, specifically six each. This excludes "Dark Magician Girl", who technically has the more artworks, due to small censoring differences between the Japanese and international versions of its artworks.
- With the release of Starter Deck: Kaiba Reloaded, this card is the only card that has been printed in all rarities in the TCG (except Starfoil Rare, Shatterfoil Rare and Mosaic Rare).
- This card has several counterparts:
- A retrained counterpart: "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon"
- An advanced counterpart: "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon"
- Two Synchro counterparts: "Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon" and "Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon"
- A Ritual/"Chaos" counterpart: "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon"
- A DARK counterpart: "Red-Eyes B. Dragon"
- A "Malefic" counterpart: "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon"
- A "Toon" counterpart: "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon"
- A Match winner/Xyz counterpart: "Legendary Dragon of White"
- This card has three younger versions: the Tuner monster "The White Stone of Legend", the dragon displayed in the card "Paladin of White Dragon", and "Dragon Spirit of White".
- This card is the cover card for the first TCG expansion: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon.
- This card has the highest ATK of all Normal Monsters.
- This monster appears in the artworks of "Burst Stream of Destruction", "Dimension Explosion", "Dragonic Fighting Spirit", "Honor of the Eyes of Blue", and "Meteor Stream".
- This card's third and fourth OCG/TCG artworks are taken from this monster's depiction on the title page of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 100 (Duelist Duel 41): "Duel Disk Battle!".
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" are named Azrael, Ibris (a mistranslated of Iblis), and Djibril. These are the Islamic names for the Angel of Death, Satan ("Iblis"), and the angel Gabriel, respectively. Azrael is an informal name, only occurring in non-religious sources (including both Sikhism and some Jewish lore as well), while Iblis is the lord of the jinn, rather than the principal fallen angel.
- This card is Seto's signature card. It shares its 3000 ATK with the rivals of other series, which are Chazz's "Armed Dragon LV10", Jack's "Red Dragon Archfiend", Kite's "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and Declan's "D/D/D Doom King Armageddon". In the Viz translation of Kaiba's Duel against Ishizu, Kaiba states that the "Blue-Eyes" embodies his soul. Jack Atlas calls his "Red Dragon Archfiend" "waga tamashi," which translates as "my very soul" in the Japanese, and Kite has called "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" "his soul" (ore no tamashi).
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime series, there is a mysterious woman named Kisara that carries the spirit of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" is based on her.
- This cards shares similarities with "Cyber Dragon".
- Their Fusions requires 2 ("Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon" and "Cyber Twin Dragon") or 3 ("Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" and "Cyber End Dragon") copies each.
- Both of their final form ("Cyber End Dragon" and "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon") have similar blue orbs on their wings and chests.
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, "Cyber Dragon" also serve as a spiritual successor to "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
- In some Yu-Gi-Oh! video games (Dark Duel Stories), this card has an ally, the "Mystical Elf", which can increase the ATK and DEF of this card by 500.
- This card is arguably one of the most recognizable monsters in the game, alongside "Dark Magician".
- This card along with "Dark Magician" were the only 2 cards to have an official Chinese print before the release of Duel Starter Deck standardized Chinese as an OCG language. Its Chinese version originated in Japan, therefore its Chinese name includes the character "黒" (black) which is an exclusive one to Japanese, compared to the Chinese counterpart, "黑".
- The Weekly Shonen Jump March 2014 membership promotional version of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is the first card to be printed with an italicized Matrix typeface used for its card text. On every card before it, the Matrix font was only used in regular type (not bold or italic).
