Card Trivia:Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste
- This card is one of the few Fusion Monsters to appear in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, with the others being "Centaur Mina", "Multiple Piece Golem" and "Rare Fish".
- This card is the first and only Fusion Monster played by Yusei Fudo in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.
- Interestingly, this card in the anime is a fusion of Yusei Fudo's two favorite cards, "Stardust Dragon" and "Junk Warrior". Its effect allows it to be treated as "Stardust Dragon" in a manner similar to the effect of "Junk Warrior", where it gets stronger based on cards already played. Its second effect is very defensive, reflecting Yusei's overall style of play.
- Design-wise, this looks closer to a fusion of "Stardust Dragon" and "Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth", which has a similar art style to "Junk Warrior" and other monsters used by Yusei. It is also posed similarly to "Stardust Dragon" in its card artworks.

- Though intended as a counter against the "Meklord Emperors", Yusei never uses this card against Iliaster in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. This is likely due to Yusei mastering the Accel Synchro Summon and Clear Mind, acquiring a more powerful counter in "Shooting Star Dragon" afterwards.
- This is a Cover Card for Duelist Revolution and the Collectible Tins 2010 Wave 1.
- Although tangentially related to them, this is the first Cover Card of the 5D's series to have no relation to the "Signer Dragons".
- This is also the second Ghost Rare to not be related to any archetype ("Honest" was the first).
- It is also only the second Ghost Rare during the 5D's era to not be a Synchro Monster ("Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" being the first).
- In Latin, the word "Draco" means "dragon", while "Equiste" is the plural form of "eques" and refers to an order of Roman warriors who fought on horseback; the plural form is likely based on the fact that "Drago-Equiste" is a Fusion Monster.
- The word "eques" can also mean "knight", making a possible translation of this card's name "Dragon Knight Dragon Knights".
