• This monster is the signature card of Jaden Yuki in the anime.
  • It is replaced by "Elemental HERO Terra Firma" in the manga.

• This monster is based on character designs from Guyver and the Ultra Series, even sharing its name with one hero from the latter series.
  • It is also possible that this monster is based on "Silver Surfer" given the color schemes and their origins in space.

• "Neo" is a Greek prefix meaning "new", showing him as the new "Elemental HERO".

• Like all the other Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists' signature cards, this card shares the same ATK of 2500 as the signature cards of other main protagonists, which are Yugi Muto's "Dark Magician", Yusei Fudo's "Stardust Dragon", Yuma Tsukumo's "Number 39: Utopia", Yuya Sakaki's "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", and Yusaku Fujiki's "Firewall Dragon".
  • Furthermore, its DEF of 2000, like the signature cards of main protagonists from other spinoff shows, is only 100 lower than "Dark Magician".

• This is one of the cover cards of the Collectible Tins 2006 Wave 1, Duelist Edition Volume 1, Structure Deck: HERO's Strike, and Duel Power.

• This monster appears in these cards' artworks:
  • "Assault Armor"
  • "Battle of Sleeping Spirits"
  • "Common Soul"
  • "Contact Out"
  • "Contact Soul"
  • "Elemental Storm"
  • "Hope for the Future"
  • "Justi-Break"

  • "Neos Force"
  • "Neos Fusion"
  • "Neos Spiral Force"
  • "Neos Wiseman"
  • "NEXT"

• The French flavor text formerly contains nouvel Héros, which is ungrammatical as the word héros contains an aspirated h. Not until the release of the Ra Yellow Mega Pack was this error fixed.

• This monster has the following distinctions from the other main protagonists' signature cards:
  • It is the only ace monster who does not appear within the first few episodes of its series.
