Card Trivia:Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon
- This monster is the manga counterpart to "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon".
- Their effects mirror each other; while both of their Pendulum Effects activate when a Pendulum Monster battles and the regular effect deals additional damage while battling, the actual functions of their effects greatly contrast each other.
- True to its counterpart status, while most of the body of "Pendulum Dragon" is red, this monster has its body mostly blue, making these 2 monsters represent opposite sides of the Pendulum Scale.
- In the manga, it is possible that this monster, and by extension all the other manga counterparts of the Four Dimensional Dragons, may have been originated from the original card transforming into a Pendulum Monster (in this case, "Odd-Eyes Dragon"). This is strongly supported by Yuto's "Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon" (the only original Dimension Dragon featured in the manga) also appearing to have been permanently transformed/replaced by "Dark Anthelion Dragon", and by Yugo calling this monster an "evolved card".
- This card shares the same ATK of 2500 as of the other signature cards: "Dark Magician", "Elemental HERO Terra Firma", "Stardust Spark Dragon" and "Number 39: Utopia". These monsters are respectively the signature cards of Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo and Yuma Tsukumo, the previous protagonists from the first four series of the manga.
- This card's name is a reference to the Deck archetypes of Yuya Sakaki and Yuto in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. Yuya used "Odd-Eyes" monsters, while Yuto used "The Phantom Knights" monsters. This symbolizes that Yuya's and Yuto's manga counterparts shared the same body.
- Yuya himself was also called "Phantom" in the manga.
- This monster has physical qualities of each of the Four Dimensional Dragons, reflecting how Yuya shares his body with his counterparts in the manga.
- Its chest plate, horns, and limbs are similar to those of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon".
- It has the same chin spike as "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Yuto).
- The pattern on its lower neck and its fingers and toes are similar to those of "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" (Yugo).
- Its head and body are similar to those of "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon" (Yuri).
- This card's TCG/OCG effect reflects how its effect in the manga is usually used with "Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon" and "Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon", both bearing 1200 ATK (in the manga, this card's effect inflicts damage equal to the ATKs of the monsters in the Pendulum Zones).
