Trivia

 * Tristan and Ishizu Ishtar are currently the only Legendary Duelists who do not have 3D monster Summoning animations.
 * Tristan's use of Rare Metalmorph and Command Knight may be inspired by similar anime-only cards used by Tristan; Rare Metal Soul and Command Angel.
 * His dueling quotes for Thunder Dragon, Thunder Kid, and Shovel Crusher reference their places on his team in Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters.
