- "Dian Keto the Boogie Master" and "Mystic Dealer" appear in this card's artwork.
- This card's artwork depicts "Dian Keto" fining "Mystic Dealer" 1,000,000 yen for the mess, both of which are used by Mimi Imimi and Yuga Ohdo in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime, respectively, referencing Mimi's role as a minor antagonist who uses the Bubble Era series.
- This card's Japanese name reflects its Aqua Type support effect and its relation with the Bubble Era series. It also references the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble, an economic bubble in Japan that burst in 1992 and caused the Japanese economy to stagnate.
- The 水の泡 (mizu no awa) portion, in particular, literally means water bubbles or foam, and figuratively means the dispiriting result of an endeavor, as in the phrase 水の泡だ (mizu no awa da, "come to naught," lit. "be froth"). In East Asian languages, froth or bubbles, which are ephemeral and unsubstantial, are associated with abject failure. This notion is not directly linked to "economic bubble" in English. Other comparable translations include "go up in smoke," "amount to nothing" and "be in vain."
- This is the first card to include the number "1,000,000" in its card text.
