  • This card is based on Manco Cápac, the first governor and founder of the Incan civilization in Cusco, Peru in the 13th century.
    • The sun-like faces appearing in this card's artwork references the Incan sun god Inti. According to Inca mythology, Manco Cápac is the son of Inti and the moon goddess, Mama Quilla.
      • This card's origin is shared with "Sun Dragon Inti" (based on Inti) and "Moon Dragon Quilla" (based on Mama Quilla), both of which can be Synchro Summoned using this card. This is further emphasized with this card's Moon counterpart, "Supay, Duskwalker", a monster based on Manco Cápac's older sister and wife, Mama Ocllo whose effects can be used to quickly Synchro Summon the aforementioned Dragon monsters.
    • The golden staff wielded by this monster references the tapac-yauri, a golden staff carried by Manco Cápac after he and his siblings were sent to the earth by Inti and emerged from the cave of Paqariq Tampu along with his siblings. Manco Cápac was instructed by Inti to use the tapac-yauri to locate a spot in the earth where it sank, where he would built a temple to the sun.
  • This card was first revealed on Twitter at 6 AM Japan Standard Time, on the same day as its counterpart. This is a common estimate for the time the sun rises, referencing the sun theme of "Oracle of the Sun" and "Sun Dragon Inti".
