  • This card shares the same strategy and Attribute as the "Spheres", also a sphere appears on this monster's chest.
  • The sphere on this monster's chest bears a resemblance to the planet this monster is based off of, Jupiter.
  • This card's appearance is somewhat reminiscent of "Destiny Hero - Plasma", a card playing a similar role in Aster's Deck in the GX anime.
    • This card also possesses the same Type and Level as "Plasma", as well as bearing similarities via its effect, "Plasma" also possessing an effect allowing the absorption of another monster, although Plasma's has no cost, isn't limited to one turn and only strengthens it by half the equipped monster's ATK.
    • Also of note is that both cards were designed by Aster's father, Mr. Phoenix, and stolen after his murder by a villain (the Light of Destruction-possessed The D in Plasma's case, and Tragoedia in Jupiter's case). Both also belong to Archetypes designed entirely by Mr. Phoenix, "Destiny HERO" in Plasma's case, and the "Legendary Planets" in this card's case.
  • This card is a counterpart and opposite to "Elemental HERO Terra Firma", both in appearance and effect. While "Terra Firma" has white armor of rock, this card has a darker color scheme. Where "Terra Firma" appears with a sphere around it in the manga, this card contains a sphere within its bodies. And where "Terra Firma" Tributes another "Elemental HERO" to gain strength (a willing sacrifice), this card forcefully absorbs a monster to gain power (a forceful gain).
    • Also this card's ATK, DEF and Type are exactly equal to "Terra Firma's".
    • In addition, the users of the two monsters, Aster Phoenix for this card, and Jaden Yuki for "Terra Firma", are rivals of sorts, each using a HERO Deck of a different playing style and having personalities at odds with one another, reinforcing the opposite concepts of this card and "Terra Firma", despite both belonging to the "Legendary Planet" series.
    • Finally, this card resembles the Thunder Megazord from the Power Rangers/Super Sentai series (specifically the sphere on the body and the head), whereas Jaden's newest Archetype are based on the Kamen Rider franchise.
