• Both "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" and "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" have a less powerful version 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 latter based on "Chaos Emperor Dragon".

• The background circle on "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" and "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" makes reference to DARK and LIGHT, This can also refer to Matter and Anti-Matter, Positive and Negative energy.

• "Chthonian Emperor Dragon" has its appearance and English name based on this card.

• This card is widely accepted to be one of the most powerful and Broken cards in the game.

• In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Bastion Misawa states that "Chaos Emperor Dragon" is so powerful that it has been banned from official tournaments, making it one of the few cards that is Forbidden both in the anime and the real-life card game.

• This card is possibly the rival of "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", as both appear to be opposites of each other by their theme and appearance (the armor and horns on both their heads). This is further supported by the fact that whilst Seto Kaiba uses this card, Yugi Muto uses "Black Luster Soldier". This sets up a rivalry between the cards, since Yugi and Kaiba are great rivals throughout the story.
  • In the same vein, this card is analogous to "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", in Level, ATK, DEF, and Type (the only difference between the two cards is the Attribute).

• Both "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.

• This is one of the only four known Monster Cards that have the ability to completely get rid of all the opponent's cards (hand and field); the other three being "Sky Scourge Norleras", "Genesis Star God, Sophia" and "Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus", Of course if this cards wasn't banned this monster card would be seriously abused by any deck that contains LIGHT and DARK monster cards not to add the edge on advantage on those decks that focus on graveyard come back to a clear field.

• The Lost Millennium version of this card has a typographical error. The word 'your' is misspelled as 'yoru'.

• This card could possibly represent Apep, who was, in Egyptian Mythology, the Chaos snake who threatened to destroy all of creation by swallowing the sun, as the name says envoy of the END, while Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning could represent Ra, the first god to rise from Chaos.

• "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" is similar to this card. Both are level 8, DARK, and are Dragon-Type. Both nuke the field. "Gandora" increases it's attack by 300, while "Chaos Emperor Dragon" inflicts effect damage equal to 300 times the cards destroyed (Except "Gandora" also banishes the cards it destroys). Also, they both destroy themselves with their effects.
