* Capping out at 3000, this card and "[[Elemental Hero Storm Neos]]", "[[Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon]]", "[[Armed Dragon LV10]]" and [[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode]] have the fourth highest ATK of all [[WIND]] monsters. SKY FIRE is the strongest of these when accounting its 500 more DEF. The third strongest is [[Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste]], the second strongest is "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]", and the first is "[[Majestic Star Dragon]]".

Coincidentally (though most likely "arranged"), Seto, Chazz, and Jack (and to a lesser extent Greiger as well) all take the role of "rival" in their series.
