  • This card is once again related to the few British-themed "Destiny Hero" cards : it is inspired by the myth of '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, Bram Stoker (consequently British).
  • This is one of the few but growing number of cards whose Japanese name consists of only English alphabetical characters and punctuation.
  • This card's Japanese name is "D-Hero Bloo-D". This makes it one of the few "Destiny Heroes" whose name does not contain "Guy" and whose name after "D-HERO" does not start with a "D" sound.
  • The card's name spells out Blood, though the name is pronounced "Blue D" according to the katakana. This could also reference to being pronounced as "bloody."
    • This again ties in with the British-theme surrounding "D-Hero", as "Blue Blood" means to belong to nobility.
  • The wording of this card's English incarnation is mysteriously disjointed, especially towards the end. It comes across as quite vague, it forgets the word "ATK" at one point ("This card gains equal to...") and some words that are normally capitalized are not. This was corrected in the Legendary Collection 2 reprint.
  • This card's additional effect in the anime was to gain a monster's effect as well when it equips a monster.
  • This card's effect is similar to the "Meklord" monsters, except that the "Meklords" absorb only Synchro Monsters and have no limit to the number of monsters they are equipped with.
  • This card's effect is also vaguely similar to Relinquished's, being able to equip other monster cards and take part of their ATK and DEF.
