• This was the first Link Monster revealed in the OCG/TCG., and the first Link Monster to be Summoned in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime.

• This monster and "Firewall Dragon" are the first ace monsters of a spin-off protagonist whose Type is neither Dragon nor Warrior, thus breaking the pattern of the spin-off protagonists' ace monsters (though "Decode Talker" does resemble a Warrior and "Firewall Dragon" does resemble a Dragon, so they only break the pattern semantically).
  • It is also the first time a protagonist uses a newly created Type (in this case, the Cyberse-Type).
  • This card eventually being replaced by the 2500 ATK "Firewall Dragon" as Yusaku's ace monster mirrors both Jaden Yuki's "Elemental HERO Flame Wingman", who eventually got replaced by the 2500 ATK "Elemental HERO Neos", and Yusei Fudo's "Junk Warrior", who eventually got replaced by the 2500 ATK "Stardust Dragon".
  • This card can be view as a personification of Yusaku because he gain powers for using others to achieve his goals (like how he view Ignis as a tool for his ends), furthermore his effect that requires sacrifing a monster who is linked to this card for his safety is like how Yusaku wouldn't hesitate to delete Ignis if the Knight of Hanoi didn't stopped his "destruction" on Link VRAINS.

• This monster has a counterpart: "Encode Talker".

• This monster appears in the artwork of "Recoded Alive".
