- Despite having "Dragon" in its Japanese name and its dragon-like appearance, it is actually a Sea Serpent-Type.
- This is similar to "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", who is a Sea Serpent despite having "Dragon" in its name and having a Dragon-like appearance.
- In the OCG, the Sea Serpent-Type is called Sea Dragon.
- This is also the first Sea Serpent-Type "Number" monster.
- This is similar to "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", who is a Sea Serpent despite having "Dragon" in its name and having a Dragon-like appearance.
- The number 32 can be seen on the left side of this card's chest.
- This card's number as shown on the monster itself can still be read as "32" even if it's upside-down. This could possibly reflect this card's duality of being used for good despite its dark nature.
- This card's numerical value could refer to it being the 3rd Number that Reginald Kastle controlled in a duel, after "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon" and "Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction". Additionally, it is also the 2nd Number to possess him, after "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon", and the 2nd Number he has taken control of in a duel from its initial owner, after "Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction".
- This card currently has the second highest ATK out of all Rank 4 monsters.
- This card is currently the strongest Sea Serpent-Type Xyz Monster in the game.
- This is the second "Number" to have a Chaos Evolved form, which is known as "Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss", while the first one is "Number 39: Utopia" whose Number C form is called "Number C39: Utopia Ray".
- This card could be considered the anti-thesis to "Number 39: Utopia". This is shown through the difference in their effects.
- "Utopia" relies on pure defensive strategies, detaching its Xyz Materials to negate attacks.
- "Number 32: Shark Drake" relies on pure offensive strategies, detaching its Xyz Materials to bring back destroyed monsters, and then attacking them again, causing even more harm to the opponent.
- While "Utopia" goes from a light color scheme to a dark one after going through Chaos Xyz Evolution, "Shark Drake" goes from a dark color scheme to a light one.
- This is the second "Number" card Yuma obtained off screen.
- This is the third "Number" to talk in the anime. But unlike "Number 96: Dark Mist", this card does not want the power of the other "Number".
- This card could likely be the anime counterpart of "Bahamut Shark". Both are ace monsters of Reginald Kastle, Sea Serpent-type monsters, WATER monsters and Rank 4 Xyz monsters that require 2 or more Xyz materials.
- The head of this monster resembles the dorsal head of "Shark Kaizer".
- Fittingly, both cards are owned by Shark.
- This card is featured in the artwork of "Shark Revenge Splash".
- This monster and Shark's motorcycle have a similar coloring.
