"Grand Convergence":
  • This card is based on a grand cross, an astronomical event where four planets of a different classical elemental alignment (fire, wind, earth, and water) are aligned in such a way that they are 90 degrees apart from each other and form a perfect cross. A grand cross is often seen as a sign of tension and inability to progress because the different aspects of the personality are at odds with each other.
    • This card's OCG artwork features a cross connecting all of the aligned planets. Prior to its re-release in The Lost Art Promotion 2023 I, the cross was removed from this card's TCG artwork to avoid religious connotations; however, the cross is still visible in this card's artwork in the English dubbed version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.
  • This card's artwork is based on the depiction of the Solar System before 2006, when Pluto was still considered as the ninth planet before its demotion to a dwarf planet.
