Card Trivia:Red-Eyes Soul
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon" losing its wing from the attack of "Rocket Warrior".
- This is one of the cover cards of History Archive Collection and Maze of Memories.
- This card's artwork is largely based on the appearance of "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 260 (Duelist Duel 201): "Red Spirit", specifically from the panel depicting its sudden appearance during Dark Yugi and Kaiba's Duel, via "The Flute of Summoning Dragon".
- However, this card's artwork protrays "Red-Eyes" with its left wing missing, unlike the manga. This detail, and this card's 900 ATK, are references to "Rocket Warrior" damaging "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" with its attack during Yugi Mutou and Brainwashed Jonouchi's Duel, resulting in "Red-Eyes" (2400 ATK) losing 1500 ATK and its left wing.
- This card's effects also reference the above inspirations for this card's artwork:
- Its effect that Special Summons a "Red-Eyes" monster from the hand or Deck is a reference to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 260 (Duelist Duel 201): "Red Spirit", where "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" was Summoned from Dark Yugi's hand via "The Flute of Summoning Dragon".
- Its Quick Effect (an effect that activates during either player's turn), that inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the original ATK of a "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", is a reference to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 198 (Duelist Duel 139): "Friends till the End", where Yugi's damaged "Red-Eyes" attacked Joey directly in response to the latter's plea, even though Joey had already won the Duel during his own turn.
- This effect was also likely influenced by the effects of pre-existing cards, such as "Inferno Fire Blast", "Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon", and "Red-Eyes Burn".
- This card's name is also a reference to the chapter name of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 260 (Duelist Duel 201): "Red Spirit".
