  • This monster is based on Lü Bu (courtesy name: Fengxian), from the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a powerful yet temperamental warlord who sadly suffered from poor management skills and freely switched allegiances. He also sports a type of chinese polearm (often translated as Halberd) known as Ji, more concretly he wields a "Fangtian Ji" (Square Sky Ji) which had a spear tip with crescent blades on both sides, likely to be the legendary "Fang Tian Hua Ji" (literally "Evened Heaven Stroking Halberd" often translated and known in the novel as "Sky Piercer"), the signature weapon of Lü Bu.
    • Fittingly, this monster is riding a red horse, which is likely based on the Red Hare, a famous horsed owned by Lü Bu that previously served as the basis for "Red Hared Hasty Horse".
    • This card's Special Summoning condition, DARK Attribute and second effect to give control of itself to the opponent if they control a monster with higher ATK reflects how Lü Bu betrayed and killed his masters and foster fathers Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo to join their enemies (who had more political power than them).
