Card Trivia:The Blazing Mars
- This monster is based on the planet Mars, the fourth planet in the solar system.
- This monster's FIRE Attribute and Pyro Type Type reference the Japanese name of Mars, "Kasei" (火星), which translates to "Fire Star".
- This monster is based on the planet's namesake, the Roman god of war, which reflects the military nature of Axel Brodie's Deck in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga.
- This is one of the few cards where its Japanese name consists of only English alphabetical characters and punctuation, excluding furigana characters. The others are "Destiny HERO - Plasma", "Destiny End Dragoon", "Assault Revival", "NEX", "ZERO-MAX", and the other Legendary Planet cards (except "Elemental HERO Terra Firma").
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga, this monster's attack name is "Syrtis Major", which is based on the "dark spot" located in the boundary between the northern lowlands and southern highlands of the planet Mars.
- This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX chapter 58: "MacKenzie's Stealth Maneuvers!!", specifically from the panel where Chazz Princeton notices this monster is radiating darkness after it is Summoned.
