• This card is named after an anion, a molecule with a negative charge.
  • The effect of "Electrode Beast Cation" that Summons this card is modeled after positively-charged cations attracting negatively-charged anions, due to their opposite charges.

• This card's OCG effects are based on its appearance in the manga in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX chapter 14: "The Deck Passed!!".
  • This card's effect to change itself to Level 4 is designed to allow it to be used for the first effect of "Spirit Converter". In the manga, this card was Tributed by "Spirit Converter" in order to attach an Xyz Material to an Xyz Monster; in the OCG, "Spirit Converter" directly attaches a monster to an Xyz Monster, but requires that the monster be a Level 4 LIGHT monster. Its effect to search "Spirit Converter" is likewise based on the fact that it used for that card's effect in the manga.
  • In the manga, this card had an effect to draw a card when it is sent to the Graveyard at the same time as "Electrode Beast Cation". In the manga, "Spirit Converter" Tributed both this card and "Cation" at the same time to attach an Xyz Material to an Xyz Monster; in the OCG, "Spirit Converter" attaches a monster directly from the field to the Xyz Monster, and can only be used once per turn. This card's OCG effect to send itself and another card to the Graveyard to draw a card allows this card to mimic "Anion's" effect being triggered by the cost of "Spirit Converter" (although if used this way it does not attach an Xyz Material, unlike in the manga).
