"Lightpulsar Dragon":
  • This card is the LIGHT counterpart of "Darkflare Dragon".
    • Both have "Chaos"-style Summoning requirements.
    • This card's effect can Special Summon "Darkflare Dragon".
    • Both monsters are named after space phenomena: a pulsar for this monster and a solar flare for "Darkflare Dragon".
    • Both monsters appear in the artwork of "Dragon's Rebirth".
  • This card, along with "Darkflare Dragon", are the first two cards to share the role of being Cover Cards for the same Structure Deck.
  • When this card's text was first shown in a Japanese magazine scan, its last sentence used the word "If this card is sent..." rather than "When" as with the actual released card. This was likely to prevent a potentially disastrous FTK loop that involved combining this card with "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" to continuously use the effect of "Cannon Soldier" (or "Toon Cannon Soldier"), Tributing each Dragon over and over for damage while their effects continuously revived each other. The new text now causes this card's effect to miss the timing if the loop is attempted.
    • This makes this card one of the few cards to have received an errata before even being released, and almost certainly the one with the greatest impact.
