• This monster is the cover card for both Duelist Alliance and Structure Deck: Master of Pendulum.
  • This is the first cover card in the TCG since Light of Destruction to be printed as a Secret Rare.
  • This is the first cover card monster since Photon Shockwave "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" that does not normally fit in the Extra Deck, though it can exist on top of the Extra Deck due to how Pendulum Monsters work.

• This monster is the signature card of Yuya Sakaki.
  • In the anime, this card is the transformed version of "Odd-Eyes Dragon" after it reacted with Yuya's pendant.
  • This monster's eye colors are based on Yuya's hair colors.
  • It shares the same ATK of 2500 as of the other signature cards: "Dark Magician", "Elemental HERO Neos", "Stardust Dragon" and "Number 39: Utopia". These monsters are respectively the signature cards of Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo and Yuma Tsukumo, the previous protagonists from the first four series of the anime.
    • This monster's Attribute and Level are the same as Yugi Muto's "Dark Magician": a DARK Attribute, Level 7 monster.

    • This is the first protagonist Ace Monster to have an offensive effect rather than a protective one, like "Stardust" and "Utopia". It does have a defensive Pendulum effect however.

• According to Zuzu Boyle, this card represents the courage Yuya inherited from his father.
