* This card is once again related to the few British-themed "Destiny Hero" cards : it is inspired by the myth of '[[Wikipedia: Count Dracula|Dracula]]'. "Bloo-D" seems to have vampire fangs, he needs blood to be stronger, and no monsters can resist to him (his negate-monsters-effects ability), just like no human can resist Dracula's eyes. This is a reference to British culture because the author who wrote "Dracula" was an Irish writer, [[wikipedia: Dracula|Bram Stoker]] (consequently British).
