Card Trivia:Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
Revision as of 06:10, 4 May 2017 by Greg Cassella (talk)
- 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 card also marks the first time in Yu-Gi-Oh! where the protagonist has a "(Something)-Eyes (Something) Dragon" Dragon-Type monster as their signature card instead of their rival, like "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon".
- This is the first protagonist Ace Monster to have an offensive effect rather than a defensive one, like "Stardust" and "Utopia". It does have a defensive Pendulum effect however.
- Like how its counterparts are a reference to their owner's origin, "Odd-Eyes" represents Zarc's entertaining spirit. Reflected by Yuya's ideal.
- To be more precise, "Odd-Eyes Dragon" represents this.
- According to Zuzu Boyle, this card represents the courage Yuya inherited from his father.
- This card continues the trend of card names which included "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" and "Googly-Eyes Drum Dragon".
- This card is one of the first monsters to be Pendulum Summoned in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime, along with "Performapal Whip Snake" and "Performapal Sword Fish".
- This card is the first Pendulum Monster Yuya set in a Pendulum Zone that wasn't a "Magician" Pendulum Monster.
- This card has several counterparts, hybrids, and evolutions.
- Counterparts: 3

- This card has a manga counterpart: "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon".
- This monster has the following distinctions from the other Four Dimension Dragons:
- It is the only member to have a downgraded form ("Odd-Eyes Dragon").
- It is the only member whose dimension was not initially named after its Summoning mechanic, though it later became the Pendulum Dimension.
- It is the only member without wings, making it a pure land-based monster.
- It is the only member to start in the Main Deck instead of the Extra Deck.
- It is the only member that cannot boost its own ATK, instead only boosting its battle damage.
