  • Despite being called a white dragon, this monster is usually depicted as a blue dragon.
  • After "Token", this card has the most alternate artworks in the OCG/TCG with eight in total, beating out the next contender, "Dark Magician", by one. This excludes "Dark Magician Girl", who technically has the most artworks, due to small censoring differences between the Japanese and international versions.
  • In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" are named Azrael, Ibris (a mistranslation 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 Dark Duel Stories version of Blue-Eyes White Dragon sold for over $100 before it became to rare to reliably find for sale online
