  • This card's effect to reduce your Life Points to 50 in order to enable powerful Fusion Summoning potential likely references the self-sacrificial nature that Zane Truesdale adopts during the third season of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. After countless Underground Duels in which duelists were subjected to electric shocks proportional to their LP losses, his body was left in critical condition to the point that overexertion would lead to his death (or "being sent to the stars", in the case of the English dubbed version). As such, he duels with the intent of putting everything on the line and expects his opponents to do the same, as should said Duel be his last he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.
    • This attitude is put on full display during the 147th and 148th episodes of the anime, "Conquering the Past, Parts 2 - 3" in which Zane pushes his Deck to its absolute limits against Jesse Anderson (possessed by Yubel). Despite his best efforts, he loses due to the damaging effect of "Power Bond", thus spelling victory for Jesse and the end for Zane.
