  • This monster is based on the rook, a piece of Shogi. The piece's Japanese name, "飛車" ("Hisha"), translates to "flying chariot" - reflecting the first name of this card and its effect.
  • In the manga, when this card is promoted via the effect of "Line Promotion", it becomes a "dragon king" ("龍王", "ryū ō") piece. The new effect it gains is also based in the additional movements a "rook" piece gains when it is promoted to a "dragon king" piece in Shogi.
  • This is the first Extra Deck card to have an effect related to columns (in the manga only).
  • This is the first Beast-Warrior-Type "Number".
