• This is one of the cover cards of Collectible Tins 2007 Wave 1, Prismatic Art Collection, and Speed Duel GX: Duel Academy Box.

• This monster appears in the artworks of "Break the Destiny", "Fusion Destiny", "Plasma Counter", and "Plasma Roar".

• This monster is based on Count Dracula, the infamous king of the vampires in the novel written by Bram Stoker.
  • This card's OCG name, "Destiny HERO - Bloo-D", is a reference to the blood Dracula sucks from his victims.
    • It is also a reference to The D, who originally owned this card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.
    • It is also a pun on "blue blood", which is a term used for an aristocrat; in the original Japanese version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, this card's name was written in blue ink.
  • This card's TCG name, "Plasma", is a reference to blood plasma.
  • This monster is also likely based on Dracula's appearance in the Castlevania game series by Konami.
    • This card's attack name in the Japanese version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, "Bloody Fears", is a reference to "Bloody Tears", a recurring soundtrack in the Castlevania series.
    • This card's effect to equip a monster the opponent controls to itself and gaining ATK equal to half the original ATK of the equipped monster equipped is based on how Dracula could absorb the souls of his enemies and gain all their powers (a power more commonly demonstrated by his incarnation, Soma Cruz).

• This card is one of the three only "Destiny HERO" monsters to not have the suffix "-guy" in their OCG names, the others being "Destiny HERO - Dark Angel" and "Destiny HERO - Dread Servant".

• This card's original TCG text contained several grammatical errors, forgetting some plurals and capitalization and omitting the word "ATK" at one point; this card's text was later fixed with an errata in Legendary Collection 2.

• This monster's dragon-like right arm cannon is similar to that of "Elemental HERO Flame Wingman".
