- This is the Cover Card of Photon Shockwave.
- This card's name follows the same pattern as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Red-Eyes B. Dragon".
- 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 if one looks 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 2000 or more that can be Tributed to Special Summon this card.
- This card's artwork mirrors the first artwork of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" too.
- 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 if one looks are also blue) and red in reference to "Red-Eyes" (parts of the armor).
- This card has the same ATK and DEF as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and the same ATK as "Armed Dragon LV10", "VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon", and "Red Dragon Archfiend", the Signature cards of Seto Kaiba, Chazz Princeton, and Jack Atlas, the rivals in the previous anime series, possibly hinting that Kaito Tenjo, this card's owner, is the real rival for ZEXAL.
- The card's pose and body structure are also similar to that of "Stardust Dragon".
- The glow surrounding this card is similar to the light that appears during a Synchro Summon, and the aura that has been shown to glow around "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in the final arc of the anime during the fight against Zorc and a similar aura that "Stardust Dragon" has occasionally glowed with when being powered up by one of Yusei Fudo's Trap Cards.
- This is the signature card of Kaito Tenjo.
- This is the first cover card during the ZEXAL era that is not a "Numbers" or an Xyz Monster at all.
- A photon is a packet of light in quantum physics.
- If you look closely this dragon has something on its chest that resembles Ultramen's Color Timer.
- This card's name could be also translated as "Galaxy Eye's Photon Dragon", since "Eye's" and "Eyes" would be written the same in katakana, and the kanji translates as such.
- This card's head bears resemblance to "Felgrand Dragon".
- Kaito Tenjo uses this card against "Number" monsters. Even though they cannot be destroyed, they still can be Banished 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.
- 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 is similar to the Meklord archetype, seeing as its effect targets the new type of monster. Meklords target Synchros, whilst this one targets Xyz's.
- This is the first Cover Card since Crimson Crisis to not be in the 37th to 42nd position within the set.
- This is the first effect monster to be a cover card since Honest in LOTD.
