Card Trivia:Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
- This monster is the cover card for both Duelist Alliance, Structure Deck: Master of Pendulum, and one of the 2015 Mega-Tins..
- 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 also with "Firewall Dragon" the signature card of Yusaku Fujiki , the next successor of the anime.
- This monster's Attribute and Level are the same as Yugi Muto's "Dark Magician": a Level 7 DARK monster.
- This card also marks the first time in Yu-Gi-Oh! where the protagonist has a "(Something)-Eyes (Something) Dragon" Dragon 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 Dragon" and "Number 39: 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, which is reflected by Yuya's ideal.
- To be more precise, "Odd-Eyes Dragon" represents this.
- As a Pendulum Monster, it is the first signature card of a main protagonist that can exist in both the Main Deck and the Extra Deck.
- 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.

- Their effects mirror each other; while both of their Pendulum Effects activate when a Pendulum Monster battles and the monster effect deals additional damage while battling, the actual functions of their effects greatly contrast each other.
