  • This monster is based on the Major Arcana Tarot card, The World.
    • This monster's number "XXI" and original ATK and DEF (3100) reference how The World is the twenty-first trump card of the Major Arcana Tarot.
    • Alternatively, this monster may be based on Dio Brando's Stand, "The World" in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga and anime series, which has the ability to stop time, similar to this monster's effect of skipping the opponent's next turn.
      • Notably, the Japanese voice actor of this monster's owner, Sartorius is Takehito Koyasu, who is also the voice actor for Dio in the 2012 anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
    • Four separate images of the Earth appear in the background corners of this card's artwork. This is likely referencing the classical elements (fire, earth, water, and air) appearing in The World Tarot card that also appear in The Magician Tarot card, signifying the Magician's completion of his goals.
  • This monster's appearance is based on the Lovecraftian deity Yog-Sothoth, keeping in relation with the extraterrestrial theme of the "Arcana Force" archetype.
    • This monster's pose in the OCG/TCG is based on the logo for Aphoom Zhah, a metal band named after the eponymous Lovecraftian deity.
  • This monster and "Question" are the only cards in the OCG/TCG where the order of cards in the Graveyard is significant.
