+
* "[[Number]]" monsters often take the form of their owners and/or their original desires; this card represents the personality of [[Quattro]].

** Lions are known to have a calm, majestic appearance while at rest, but can be ruthless and bloodthirsty when hunting; this reflects how Quattro disguised himself as a well-mannered man who interacts with people with a noble and polite demeanor when not [[Duel]]ing, but became sadistic and cold when he does Duel especially against anyone who stood in his way.
 +
** This monster's effect and appearance are somewhat the opposite of those of "[[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder]]" and "[[Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings]]": while most "Gimmick Puppet" monsters have a disturbing and grotesque appearance, this monster looks more righteous and benevolent.

+
** Both cards are based on kings featuring a lion-like design.
−
* Another explanation to this card's number could be the fact that the Zodiac sign "Leo" covers the biggest part of August, which is the month 8.

** Lions are known to have a calm, majestic appearance while at rest, but can be ruthless and bloodthirsty when hunting for their prey. Similarly, [[Quattro]] disguises himself to be a well-mannered man who interacts with people in a noble and polite demeanor when not dueling, but is sadistic and cold when he is, especially against anyone who stands in his way.
 
−
** This card also seems to reflect Quattro's true nature of being kind and caring. He showed guilt for hurting Shark's younger sister unintentionally but saved her despite getting his scar in the process, and wanted to save his [[Vetrix|father]] by defeating [[Dr. Faker]] on his own.
 
−
** This card's ability and appearance are also the opposite of "Gimmick Puppet: Giant Grinder" and "Heavens String". While most "Gimmick Puppets" have somewhat disturbing and grotesque appearances, this card looks more righteous and benevolent. Also, unlike "Giant Grinder" and "Gimmick Puppet of Strings", this card does not involve destroying monsters or inflicts damage at the opponent. Instead this card involves winning through a peaceful method.

−
* This card shares many similarities to "[[King Landia the Goldfang]]".
 
−
** Both require 3 Level 8 monsters.
 
−
** Both are based off a lion and a king.
 
−
** Landia's effect involves winning the [[Match]], Destiny Leo's effect involves winning the [[Duel]].
 
−
 
 
−
* The fact of this card being a lion sitting on a throne could mean it is the "king" of the "[[Gimmick Puppet]]s", just like the lion is said to be the king of the  jungle.
 
−
 
 
−
* This is one of the three anime "Numbers" to not have a sealed form, the others being "[[Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech]]" and "[[Number 69: God Medallion Coat of Arms]]", all three of which were used by members of the [[Vetrix Family]].
 
−
 
 
−
* In the anime, when this card detaches an Overlay Unit, it absorbs it with the gem on its sword.
 
−
 
 
−
* This card bears a resemblance to a fellow Number, [[Number 39: Utopia|Utopia]].
 
−
** They have the same color scheme. (eg. White and Yellow)
 
−
** They both hold a large sword.
 
−
** They are both "kings".
 
−
** Destiny Leo's number is depicted on its right shoulder plate while Utopia's is on the left.

−
*As of episode 58, this card, "[[Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis]]", "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]] [[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder]], and [[Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings]] are the only known Number monsters obtained by the Vetrix family that do not have a purple number, excluding those taken from [[Kite Tenjo]].
 
−
 
 
−
* This card's second effect is very similar to "[[Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]", in the fact that both monsters can have special counters placed on them by performing a certain action ([[Hyper Venom Counter]]s for "Venominaga", and [[Destiny Counter]]s for "Destiny Leo". Once 3 of the certain kind of counters are on each card, their controllers win the Duel.
 
−
 
 
−
* This is the second "Gimmick Puppet" monster to use counters (Destiny Counters in this case), the first being "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" (specifically, String Counters).
 
−
** They are both Rank 8, [[DARK]] [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters with similar [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] points.
 
−
*** They are also the very first Xyz Monsters to use counters.

−
*This is the 7th Number card to belong to an archetype, Gimmick Puppets.
