** In recent Booster Packs, Cover Cards are Extra Deck or Nomi monsters, while recent Structure Deck Cover Cards are normally monsters that can be Normal Summoned but have effects that allow them to be Special Summoned; Due to its effect, "Galaxy-Eyes" looks closer to a Structure Deck Cover Card than a Booster Pack Cover Card.

** In further relation to the two Dragons, this card's color scheme could be a reference to them as well. Blue in reference to "[[Blue-Eyes]]" (parts of the armor, and the eyes in one look are also blue) and red in reference to "[[Red-Eyes]]" (parts of the armor).
 
−
*** Looking at its effect, there is some kind of relation since these two monsters' ATK are more than 2000 so they can be Tributed to Special Summon this card.

* Kite Tenjo uses this card against "[[Number]]" monsters. Even though they cannot be destroyed, they still can be [[banish]]ed from the field. In fact, this card's ability to get rid of Xyz Materials and keep attacking Xyz Monsters every turn makes this card an actual Xyz anti-support card.
+
* "[[Galaxy Dragon]]" is a monster that greatly resembles this one; in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga]], [[Hishakaku]] considered it as "a monster designed to combat Galaxy-Eyes," as indicated by its [[Galaxy Dragun (manga)|manga effect]] and the effect of "[[Dragon Buster]]".
−
** The "Galaxy" word in its name probably comes from that fact. Indeed, a galaxy-like portal appears during a Xyz Summon of a "Number" monster.

+
* This card's name follows the same pattern as "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]".
 +
** This monster's [[attack name]], "Photon Stream of Destruction", is also very similar, both in name and appearance, to "[[Burst Stream of Destruction]]", the attack of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
  
−
* This card is similar to the "[[Meklord]]" archetype, seeing as its effect targets the new type of monster. "Meklords" target Synchros, whilst this one targets Xyzs.
+
* True to its name, this monster's eyes have a [[wikipedia:galaxy|galaxy]]-like pattern.
  
−
* This card's background makes it appear to be in outer space, yet another reference to Xyz Monsters as they are claimed to come from another dimension and their card frame also has shooting stars and stationary stars.
+
* This card has the same ATK (3000) as "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", "[[Armed Dragon LV10]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon]]", and "[[Borreload Dragon]]" the signature cards of [[Seto Kaiba]], [[Chazz Princeton]], [[Jack Atlas]], [[Kite Tenjo]], [[Declan Akaba]], and [[Roken Kogami]] the rivals in the other anime series based on Master Duel.
 +
** Like "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]", this card's stronger form, "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", also has 3 heads and 4500 ATK;
 +
** Also, this card has the same DEF, Level, Attribute and Type as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon";
 +
** Furthering its similarities to "Red Dragon Archfiend", in ''ZEXAL'' episode 24, Kite calls this card "Ore no tamashii" (lit. "My soul"), which is similar to what Jack Atlas calls "Red Dragon Archfiend" in the Japanese version of ''5D's''.
 +
** Another similarity to "Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" is facing the opposite way in its artwork to "[[Number 39: Utopia]]", similar to how "Blue-Eyes" faces the opposite way to "[[Dark Magician]]" and how "Red Dragon Archfiend" faces the opposite way to "[[Stardust Dragon]]".
  
−
* This card appears in the artworks of "[[Photon Current]]", "[[Galaxy Expedition]]" and '''Galaxy Zero'''  .
+
* In the anime, after this monster is Summoned, its body remains its basic dull, purple color until it steals Xyz Materials, which then makes the scales and jewels on its body light up and glow brightly.
 +
** In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'', its in-game model depicts it with green skin instead.
  
−
* This card has an upgraded form: "[[Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]"
+
* According to [[Astral]], this monster has light dwelling within it similar to [[Astral World|his own world]]. In the international dub, Astral says he had seen the dragon before. This may be why it has a rivalry with "[[Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]", which appears to be a monster from [[Barian World]].
  
−
* According to [[Astral]], this monster has light dwelling within it similar to [[Astral World|his own world]].
+
* In both the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|anime]] and the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|manga]], when this card is Summoned, it appears as a four-sided star that absorbs all light around it, and then takes the form of this monster.
