- 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".
- Both of them have younger counterparts. "White Dragon Wyverburster" for this one and "Black Dragon Collapserpent" for "Darkflare Dragon".
- 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. The change was likely made 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 continually 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 a public errata change before even being released, and almost certainly the one to have had the greatest impact.
- This card's summoning methods are extremely similar to Dark Simorgh. The difference is that this card requires LIGHT monsters, instead of WIND, and the latter requires banishing the monsters from the hand to summon from the graveyard, while this card only needs to send the monsters from the hand to the graveyard.
