  • This card's name is based on Chidori (千鳥, lit. "A Thousand Birds"), the sword of the famous samurai Tachibana Dōsetsu.
    • "Rain" is also a reference to a story about Dōsetsu: one day, while he was still a young man, he took shelter under a tree, as it was raining. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck him. However, Dōsetsu used Chidori to cut the Thunder God inside the lightning bolt, allowing him to survive. After this incident, he renamed his sword Chidori to Raikiri (雷切, lit. "Lightning Cutter").
