Card Trivia:Blackwing - Pinaki the Waxing Moon
- The first portion of this monster's name is based on the Pinaka, the celestial bow wielded by Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction.
- The second portion of this monster's name is based on the waxing crescent, the moon's second lunar phase, where the sunlight hits a rightmost portion of the moon after the "new moon", making the moonlight appear crescent-shaped.
- Fittingly, in Hindusim, Shiva is represented by a crescent moon, which he wears on his head to represent his status as the master of time and to represent how he is a timeless deity.
- The second portion of this monster's name is based on the waxing crescent, the moon's second lunar phase, where the sunlight hits a rightmost portion of the moon after the "new moon", making the moonlight appear crescent-shaped.
- This monster's pose mirrors that of "Blackwing - Sharnga the Waning Moon".
- Both monsters are named after bows wielded by Hindu deities and different lunar phases that face opposite directions.
- This card is the first "Blackwing" monster Summoned in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's manga.
