Card Trivia:Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord
- This monster is based on Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction.
- This monster can be seen as a counterpart of "Vijam the Cubic Seed", another DARK Fiend "Cubic" monster who is based on Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation who opposes Shiva, representing the cycle of life and death.
- The opposition between both Hindu deities is reflected in the difference between both monsters; this monster's OCG/TCG Summoning condition requires the player to reveal three "Cubic" monsters with different names in their hand, while the Summoning conditions of most other "Cubic" monsters (except for "Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel") require multiple "Cubic" monsters to be sent from the field to the Graveyard (which can be facilitated with "Vijam"). In addition, the "Cubic" monsters that mention "Vijam" in their effects directly interact with a specific "Cubic" monster in the Deck, while no other "Cubic" card in the Main Deck directly interacts with this monster.
- This monster can be seen as a counterpart of "Vijam the Cubic Seed", another DARK Fiend "Cubic" monster who is based on Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation who opposes Shiva, representing the cycle of life and death.

- Both monsters feature the same original ATK (3000).

- Both monsters' owners expression some form of obsession in the storyline of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions; this monster's owner, Aigami is obsessed with moving to a better world, while the owner of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", Seto Kaiba, is obsessed with wanting to Duel the Pharaoh again
