- If "Gale" was Summoned by the effect of "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame", or "Blackwing - Tornado the Reverse Wind", its effect will be negated. However, "Zephyros" can be used to allow yourself to use the effect of "Gale".
- Because this card can Special Summon itself, it is an excellent target for "Inferno Reckless Summon", and if your opponent then Summons bigger monsters with that effect, the effects of all three copies can be used to cut your opponent's monsters down to size.
- Normal Summon "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn", while there is a face-up "Black Whirlwind", and use its effect to add this card to your hand. Then Special Summon it and a Level 8 Synchro such as "Stardust Dragon" can be Synchro Summoned.
