Card Trivia:Shooting Star Dragon


 * This is the Cover Card for Starstrike Blast.


 * This card is the Accel Synchro counterpart of "Stardust Dragon".
 * This card is also sixth related monster to "Stardust Dragon" so far. Others include; "Debris Dragon", "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode", "Stardust Xiaolong", "Majestic Star Dragon" and "Malefic Stardust Dragon".


 * This card is the second strongest WIND Attribute monster in the game, the strongest being "Majestic Star Dragon".
 * However, this card is the exact same Level as "Majestic Star Dragon" and they both feature a key component to be part of their Synchro Summon: Stardust Dragon.


 * This is the third advanced form that required "Stardust Dragon". The first one was "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" and the second one was "Majestic Star Dragon".


 * This card's second effect is similar to "Prime Material Dragon's" second effect, but this card's effect has no discard cost and no Monster destroying card requirement, and can only be used once per turn.


 * This card's third effect is similar to "Cyber Valley's" first effect, but this card's effect can negate any attack, not just the attack directed at itself.


 * As with "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend", this card and "Red Nova Dragon" share a "rivalrous" relationship.
 * This card's first effect mirrors "Red Nova Dragon", as this card involves Tuners in the Deck (the future) while "Red Nova Dragon" involves Tuners in the Graveyard (the past).
 * "Shooting Star Dragon" was given to Yusei in "Clear Mind" while "Red Nova Dragon" was given to Jack Atlas when he proved than he has a "Burning Soul", both "Clear Mind" and "Burning Soul" were mentioned in the song "Clear Mind".
 * Yusei obtained "Shooting Star Dragon" in a Turbo Duel, while Jack Atlas obtained "Red Nova Dragon" in a Ground Duel.
 * "Shooting Star Dragon" and "Red Nova Dragon" are facing in opposite directions, just like "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend". Yet, their poses mirror one another.


 * Both this card and "Red Nova Dragon" possess the same attack negation effect of removing themselves from play and returning during the End Phase.


 * This card's ability to attack multiple times could be a reference to meteor showers, since the comets in the showers are "shooting stars".


 * Along with "Red Nova Dragon", the TCG version of this card is released before the pack; it comes from a Collectors Tin. The tin featuring "Shooting Star Dragon" was released four days before the TCG preview of Starstrike Blast.


 * It should be noted that in the anime, this card is able to remove itself from play at any time to negate the next attack in a similiar fashion to "Necro Gardna". However, in the real life game, an attack must be declared first.


 * This card, "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" and "Majestic Star Dragon" possesses a more powerful negation effect from its key material, "Stardust Dragon".
 * "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" negates the activation when Tributed, "Majestic Star" also negates the activation clears your opponent's field when Tributed, and "Shooting Star" can just negate the activation without being Tributed.


 * Also, if you look closely, while this monster is about to execute an attack, his body transforms to a jet-plane appearance. This is explicitly shown in Episode 110.


 * In all of the occasions to date when Yusei has activated this card's multiple-attack effect, the effect has granted exactly as many attacks as the opponent had monsters.
 * 5 vs. Wisel Infinity, 3 vs. the Aesir, and 5 vs. Grannel Infinity
 * On a related note, Yusei has (to date) never activated said effect when the opponent had either one monster or no monsters.


 * There may be one more evolution of Stardust Dragon since Shooting Star Dragon is a level 10, as opposed to a level 12 like Jack's Red Nova Dragon. Plus there appears a shinning dragon at the end of the 5th ending of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's which after close examination has resembling features to Stardust Dragon.


 * Of the advanced forms of "Stardust Dragon", this is the only one that doesn't have an effect which Special Summons the original "Stardust Dragon"
