• This is the second "Chaos Number" monster. The first is "Number C39: Utopia Ray".
  • Incidentally, they are both Cover Cards.
  • Following up on their evolutions, they both have an extra name added - "Ray" and "Vice" respectively.
  • Also, if Summoned normally, both require 1 more Xyz Material than their original versions and require monsters of the same Attribute as themselves.
  • Both also need a specific maximum of Life Points for their effects to activate.
  • While "Number 39: Utopia" is originally light-colored and its Chaos Number counterpart is dark-colored, this monster's color scheme is the opposite, going from a dark-colored Number to a light-colored Chaos Number.

• This is the fourth Xyz Monster that can be Summoned by "Chaos Xyz Evolution", the first three being "Number C39: Utopia Ray", "Constellar Ptolemys Messier 7" and "Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger".

• This card is the "Chaos Number" counterpart of "Number 32: Shark Drake".

• The "Vice" in this card's name could have multiple meanings:
  • It could be from how a shark's teeth clamp down hard when it bites, like a vicegrip.
  • "Vice" (バイス Baisu) is also part of the Japanese name for Shark's first Number, "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon" (Japanese name is No. 17 Revise Dragon, with "Vise" written using the same kana as "Vice" due to their identical sounds).
    • Also, Leviathan Dragon's attack in the anime was called "Vice Stream".
  • It could also be from "Vice" in the context of a sin, showing how this Chaos Number is evil, as opposed to the other Chaos Number, "Utopia Ray", which is good.
  • "Vice" sounds similar to "weiss," which is German for "white," possibly referring to this monster's coloring.

• This is the first Xyz Monster outside the ZEXAL manga that can be Xyz Summoned with more than 3 Xyz Materials.

• This monster bears a striking resemblance to "Stardust Dragon".
  • This monster's position looks to be a mirror version of "Shooting Quasar Dragon".

• This monster has a more humanoid dragon-like form than its previous form "Number 32: Shark Drake".

• This monster bears a slight resemblance to the NirvashTypeZERO and NirvashTypeTheEND from the mecha series Eureka Seven.

• This monster may be based on the Goblin Shark, due to the shape of its head and the initial use of its jaw to attack.
