  • This card is based on Odin, the chief of the Æsir and the Norse gods in Norse mythology who is also known as the god of war, wisdom, and prophecy. In Norse mythology, Odin is depicted as a one-eyed old man with a long white beard who wields the mighty spear, Gungnir, and possesses the magic gold ring, Draupnir.
    • This card's TCG name, "Odin, Father of the Aesir" is a reference to Odin's title in Norse mythology as "All-Father", serving as the father of gods and men.
    • In Norse mythology, Odin sacrificed his left eye to drink from the Urðarbrunnr (the "Well of Urd"), which allowed him to see into the future.
      • This myth is referenced by this monster's covered left eye and the card, "Odin's Eye", which can be used in conjunction with this card.
  • This monster currently has the longest known Summon chant of any monster in the anime.
