- In the manga, this card functioned as Yugi Mutou's ace monster before he received his grandfather's Deck that contained "Dark Magician". Additionally, this card has 2500 ATK, the same value as the ace monsters of the protagonists of subsequent series.
- This card's first Konami OCG/TCG artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 68 (Duelist Duel 9): "Demon Lightning", specifically from the panel showing this monster being Summoned.
- This card's third Japanese artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 115 (Duelist Duel 56): "The Beautiful Trap!", specifically from the panel showing this monster being Summoned. However, its appearance is flipped horizontally.
- This card has several counterparts:
- A retrained counterpart: "Skull Archfiend of Lightning"
- A Toon counterpart: "Toon Summoned Skull"
- A Zombie counterpart: "Archfiend Zombie-Skull"
- A "Cyber" counterpart: "Cyber Archfiend"
- A "Red-Eyes" counterpart: "Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning"
- This monster possibly appears in the artworks of "Ring of Fiendish Power" and/or "Level Tax", though it may be confused with "Skull Archfiend of Lightning" instead.
- The Bandai version of this card has 1800 DEF and the monster is colored violet; the Konami version is typically colored white and has 1200 DEF in contrast.
- The new artwork of this card in the Anniversary Pack features it with a new look similar to the Bandai style; it appears with red skin, no eyes, larger un-horned wings, five-fingered claws (as opposed to its three-clawed hands featured in the anime and the artwork of "Skull Archfiend of Lightning"), bony feet, a tail, and a scythe as its weapon (not featured in previous artworks).
- According to Master Guide 1, the alternate artwork of this card (the 2nd Konami artwork) released at the Third National Conference in Japan qualifies as the rarest card ever released, as well as the other alternate artwork promotional cards released at that same conference.[1]
- Due to having an archetype condition, this card and "Beast of Talwar" are the only Normal Monsters that have text in their primary card text that have an effect on gameplay.
- As its card text implies, this monster has the second highest ATK of all Fiend-Type Normal Monsters, behind only "Zoa".
