- This card shares the same ATK and DEF as "Stardust Dragon" and "Elemental HERO Neos" as well as the same ATK as "Dark Magician". These cards are the signature cards of Yusei Fudo, Jaden Yuki, and Yugi Muto, respectively, who are the previous protagonists from the first three series of the anime. This card is Yuma Tsukumo's signature card.
- This card has the number "39" on his left shoulder.
- The artwork book of Kazuki Takahashi released on December 2011 revealed that this card originally have the number "3" instead of "39", as the artwork shows "03" on Utopia's shoulder.
- This card is one of the first three Xyz Monsters to be released. The second is "Gachi Gachi Gantetsu" and the third is "Grenosaurus".
- This card appears in the artworks of "Xyz Energy" and "Utopian Aura".
- This card's head resembles Yuma's head.
- This card's English name, "Utopia", is a literary term used for a perfect society or community. The word originated with Sir Thomas More, in his 1516 novel of the same name.
- Utopia is also derived from the Greek word for "good place" and "no place".
- This card's TCG name and meaning (the former one, "good place") could also allude to the Heartland, the main setting of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. By that, the Heartland (in apperance) seems to be a paradiscial locale.
- Utopia is also derived from the Greek word for "good place" and "no place".
- The initial form of this monster is an ovular sword-like object of silver and gold. Most of this is its wings, which fold back to reveal the monster while its spikes pop out.
- When this card uses an Overlay unit it is absorbed through the orb on its chest.
- When "Utopia" uses his effect his wings fold together to form a shield.
- "Numbers" take the form of their original owner desires. In this case, it is to remain strong, never give up, and protect. The result is a Warrior-type monster who can negate attacks by detaching an "Xyz Material" from it, preventing monsters from being destroyed, and protecting a player from direct attacks.
- This card's effect could also possibly represent Yuma himself, as by detaching one Overlay Unit, it negates an attack, protecting the monster or person being attacked, like how Yuma would go out of his way to protect his friends or anyone else; as well as his refusal to give up even when a situation is at its grimmest for him.
- "Utopia" appears to be the most loyal Number to Astral: In episode 37 when Black Mist attacked Astral, "Utopia" protected him. Also Utopia acted completly on his own as both Astral and Black Mist were clearly suprised, implying that "Utopia", like "Number 83: Galaxy Queen" and "Black Mist", has a mind of his own.
- As Black Mist can be seen as the dark counterpart to Astral, "Utopia" can be seen as the light counterpart to Black Mist's card form.
