• This monster is named after Mahavairocana (more commonly known as "Dainichi Nyorai" 「大日如来」 in Japan, or "Pílúzhēnàfó" 「毘盧遮那佛」 in China), a Buddha who is the embodiment of Dharmakaya, and which therefore can be seen as the universal aspect of the historical Gautama Buddha. In Sino-Japanese Buddhism, Vairocana is also seen as the embodiment of the Buddhist concept of shunyata or Emptiness.

• "Maha Vailo" appears in the artwork of "Immortal Homeostasis".

• "Maha Vailo" attack is called Sacred Lightning, and Holy Lightning in the original.

• "Morphtronic Videon" has an improved version of this card's effect, albeit with less original attack.

• In an episode of the anime, Yugi mentions that the card he finds most similar to himself is Maha Vailo. In the original version, he notes that Maha Vailo is female, which Yugi admits to feeling embarrassed about; in the dub, however, it is referred to as male.
