* After "[[Token]]", this card has the most [[alternate artwork]]s in the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' with eight in total, tied with "[[Dark Magician]]". This excludes "[[Dark Magician Girl]]", who technically has the most artworks, due to small censoring differences between the Japanese and international versions.

** Historically, this card often has had more alternate artworks than "Dark Magician".
 
* In "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie]]", it is said that this card is a symbol of power, and "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon|Red-Eyes]]" is a symbol of potential. This is an accurate way to describe the two Monsters. While "Blue-Eyes" has higher stats, "Red-Eyes" is more flexible, even more so now because of "[[Meteor Black Comet Dragon]]". Also, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" symbolizes pride and destruction, while "Red-Eyes" symbolizes violence and anger. There are two things that back this up.
 
** In "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards]]", "Blue-Eyes" is said to actually be proud of its destructive power, while "Red-Eyes" is described as a superviolent creature.
 
** Their owners share these personality traits. [[Seto Kaiba]], who has had countless victories, is known for being boastful and vain. [[Joey Wheeler]] was once a bully, and is shown to have a harsh temper when ridiculed.
 
** The purpose of the "Blue-Eyes" archetype is to destroy the opponent's cards, while the gimmick of the "Red-Eyes" archetype is inflicting [[Burn]] damage.
 
 
 
* 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 [[counterpart]]s:
 
** A [[Card evolutions|retrained]] counterpart: "[[Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon]]"
 
** An advanced counterpart: "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]"
 
** Two [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]] counterparts: "[[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon]]" and "[[Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon]]"
 
** Two [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]]/"[[Chaos]]" counterparts: "[[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon]]" and "[[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon]]"
 
** A "[[Red-Eyes]]" counterpart: "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon]]"
 
** A "[[Malefic]]" counterpart: "[[Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]"
 
** A "[[Toon]]" counterpart: "[[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]]"
 
** A "[[White Night]]" counterpart: "[[White Night Dragon]]"
 
** A [[Match winner]]/[[Xyz Monster|Xyz]] counterpart: "[[Legendary Dragon of White]]"
 
 
 
* This card has four younger versions: the [[Tuner monster]]s "[[The White Stone of Ancients]]" and "[[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]] of ''[[Booster R1]]'' and ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' and one of the cover cards of ''[[Beginner's Edition 1 (2011)]]''.
 
 
 
* This card has the highest [[ATK]] of all [[Normal Monster]]s.
 
** Fittingly, it is the [[Fusion Material]] for the non-Effect Monster with the highest ATK, [[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]].
 
 
 
* This monster appears in the artworks of "[[Burst Stream of Destruction]]", "[[Dimension Explosion]]", "[[Dragon's Fighting Spirit]]", "[[Majesty with Eyes of Blue]]", "[[Meteor Stream]]", "[[Legacy of the Duelist]]", and "[[Rage with Eyes of Blue]]".
 
 
 
* This card's third and fourth ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' artworks are taken from [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (manga)|this monster's depiction]] on the title page of {{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|41|ref}}.
 
 
 
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]'', the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" are named Azrael, Ibris (a mistranslation of [[wikipedia:Devil (Islam)|Iblis]]), and Djibril. These are the Islamic names for the [[wikipedia:Destroying angel (Bible)|Angel of Death]], [[wikipedia:Satan|Satan]] ("Iblis"), and the angel [[wikipedia:Gabriel|Gabriel]], respectively. Azrael is an informal name, only occurring in non-religious sources (including both [[wikipedia:Sikhism|Sikhism]] and some Jewish lore as well), while Iblis is the lord of the [[wikipedia:jinn|jinn]], rather than the principal [[wikipedia:fallen angel|fallen angel]].
 
 
 
* This card is [[Seto Kaiba]]'s [[signature card]]. It shares its 3000 ATK with the rivals of other series, which are [[Chazz Princeton]]'s "[[Armed Dragon LV10]]", [[Jack Atlas]]'s "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", [[Kite Tenjo]]'s "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]", [[Declan Akaba]]'s "[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon]]" and [[Varis]]'s "[[Borreload Dragon]]". In the Viz translation of [[Seto Kaiba (manga)|Kaiba]]'s Duel against [[Ishizu Ishtar (manga)|Ishizu]], Kaiba states that the "Blue-Eyes" embodies his soul. Jack calls his "Red Dragon Archfiend" "waga tamashi," which translates as "my very soul" in the Japanese, Kite has called "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" "his soul" (ore no tamashi), while Declan uses the phrase "waga tamashi" in his Pendulum Summoning chant.
 
 
 
* In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|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 [[Fusion]]s require two ("[[Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon]]" and "[[Cyber Twin Dragon]]") or three ("[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]"/"[[Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]"/"[[Blue-Eyes Alternative 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 (''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories|Dark Duel Stories]]''), this card has an ally, the "[[Mystical Elf]]", which can increase the ATK and DEF of this card by 500.
 
 
 
* In most expansion sets, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cards have the Set Number ****-**001.
 
 
 
* This card is arguably one of the most recognizable monsters in the game, along with "Dark Magician".
 
 
 
* This card along with "Dark Magician" are the only 2 cards to have had 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 card|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 is only used in regular type (not bold, not italic).
 
 
 
* Ironically, while this card has been printed in several sets in the ''TCG''/''OCG'', making it one of the most common cards of all time, this card is one of the rarest officially-printed cards of all time in the anime/manga with only 4 copies having been printed ever.
 
 
 
* The ''[[Jump Ryū Vol.08 promotional card]]'' print of this card features Seto Kaiba in its artwork.
 
 
 
* In the video game ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'', when this card is summoned by [[Seto Kaiba (Duel Links)|Kaiba]] the summon animation is altered during [[wikipedia:April Fools Day|April Fools' Day]] 2017. In this animation "Blue-Eyes" wears a KaibaConstruction construction helmet - similar to the sketch shown during game maintenance periods when attempting to log in, and a sign in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]''.
