  • This monster's Japanese name, "Go-DDD Divine Zero King Zero God Reiji", and appearance are based on Declan Akaba, whose Japanese name is "Reiji Akaba".
    • This monster's names reflect Reiji Akaba (the manga version of Declan) and his obsession with the number zero in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V manga.
    • This monster's TCG name ("Go! - D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage") is derived from the katakana Reiji (レイジ), which has a similar pronunciation with the word "rage".
  • Among the G.O.D. cards, this monster represents the manipulation of space by rendering things "nonexistent" or zero, as per Reiji's obsession; its effects evoke this differently depending on the media.
    • The manga version of this monster makes its opponent's Life Points become 0 if it successfully attacks and survives; in the OCG/TCG, this effect causes it to gain ATK equal to the opponent's Life Points for the turn, ensuring that a direct attack would reduce their Life Points to 0, but only if their Life Points is 4000 or less.
    • In the manga, any monster that attacks it has its ATK reduced to 0, effectively rendering the attack null as neither monster is destroyed by battle. The OCG/TCG simply makes it unable to be destroyed by battle and prevent its controller from taking battle damage, resulting in the same outcome.
    • It can Tribute the controller's other monsters and gain effects that render the opponent's monsters' ATK (if Tributing 1 monster) or the opponent's cards on the field, hand, or Graveyard (if Tributing 3 monsters) "nonexistent". In the OCG/TCG, it can Tribute a monster to attack directly (treating the opponent's monsters as "nonexistent"), prevent the opponent from activating effects in the Spell & Trap Zone (treating their Spells and Traps as "nonexistent"), or prevent them from activating card effects in the hand or Graveyard (treating cards in the hand and Graveyard as "nonexistent"); it can use this effect up to 3 times in order to fully emulate its manga counterpart.
    • This monster's Pendulum Effects in the OCG/TCG can also make effect damage 0, and reduce the number of Tributes needed to Normal Summoning a high-Level "D/D" to 0.
  • This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Scale 42: "Two G.O.D.s!!", specifically from the panel showing this monster being Summoned.
