"The Seal of Orichalcos":
  • The runes around the outer rim of the seal are the characters written in the Enochian language, spelling out "OREICHALCOS" ("Oreichalcos") twice.
    • The geometric figure inside the seal is a unicursal hexagram. In a Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game blog post on Konami's website, it is called a "double-chevron pattern".[1]
    • In the original Japanese version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, the text on all "Orichalcos" cards are also written entirely in Enochian runes, except for "Orichalcos Sword of Sealing". Coincidentally, "Orichalos Sword of Sealing" is the only "Orichalcos" card to not be used by Dartz, instead used by Rafael.
  • This is the only card known to have received a printed mock-up.
  • This card's OCG/TCG effects are based on its effects in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. In the above-mentioned blog post on Konami's website, the number of sentences of the text in this card's TCG print of this card matches the number of lines and points in this seal's symbol.[1]
    • This card's first effect to increase the user's monster's ATK by 500 is the only effect identical to its anime counterpart.
    • This card's second effect, preventing it from being destroyed once per turn, is based on how Yami Yugi attempted to destroy Gurimo's copy of this card with "Dust Tornado"; while Gurimo claimed the card could not be destroyed at all, since it was never attempted to be destroyed again, Konami asserts that Gurimo was intentionally deceiving Yugi.[2]
    • This card's third effect, preventing the opponent's monster from targeting the player's monster with the lowest ATK for attacks, is based on its anime counterpart's effect to prevent the opponent from attacking monsters placed in the Spell & Trap Zone by its other effect. This effect is identical to that of "Pixie Ring", which Konami pointed out when announcing it.[2]
    • This card's fourth and fifth effects, preventing the user from Summoning monsters from the Extra Deck and destroying Special Summoned monsters, is based on what happened when this card was played by Yami Yugi, destroying "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" and reverting it to its unfused state, and the fact that Yugi, Dartz, Rafael, Valon, and Alister did not Fusion Summon after it was activated.[3]
    • This card's sixth effect "once per Duel" condition is based on how a Duelist who uses this card once in a Duel will not be able to use it again, as either they will win the Duel and trap their opponent's soul in the card, or they will lose the Duel and their soul along with it (barring DRAWs).[2]
