Card Trivia:Stardust Dragon


 * This card was designed by Kazuki Takahashi himself.


 * This is the Cover Card of The Duelist Genesis.


 * This card has the same ATK as "Dark Magician", "Elemental Hero Neos" and "No. 39 Aspiring Emperor Hope, the signature cards of Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki (in the GX manga, Jaden's signature card is "Elemental Hero Terra Firma", which also has the same ATK and DEF as "Neos") and Yuma Tsukumo respectivly. Oddly, "Dark Magician" is a Spellcaster-Type with the Attribute of DARK and "Elemental Hero Neos" is a Warrior-Type with the Attribute of LIGHT and they are both Level 7 while "Stardust Dragon" is Level 8 and a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster with the Attribute of WIND and the first to have an Effect (Second if you count "Terra Firma" from the manga).
 * Also, the color scheme is similar to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which was originally supposed to be the Signature card of Yugi Muto.


 * This card has four different summon chants in the dubbed.


 * This card is the only Synchro Monster with two Summon chants in the Japanese anime because while Akiza used Yusei's chant when she Synchro Summoned "Stardust", when Jack used it, he made up a different one.


 * This monster appears to be the antithesis of "Red Dragon Archfiend". Their poses mirror each other and have opposite color schemes. Also their effects oppose each other as well. "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect focuses on destroying opposing monsters, as this card focuses on protecting monsters from being destroyed.
 * The fact that these two cards rival each other is a possible reference to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series; "Dark Magician", the signature card of Yugi Muto, with ATK equal to that of "Stardust Dragon", is the rival of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", the signature card of Seto Kaiba, with ATK equal to that of "Red Dragon Archfiend". Also, Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba are rivals, just as Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas are rivals.


 * This card has several forms:
 * This card has an "Assault Mode", "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode".
 * This card has a "Majestic" form, "Majestic Star Dragon".
 * This card has a "Malefic" version, "Malefic Stardust Dragon".
 * This card has an "Accel Synchro" counterpart, "Shooting Star Dragon".
 * This card has a "Delta Accel Synchro" counterpart, "Cosmic Blazar Dragon".
 * This card has a "Limit Over Accel Synchro" counterpart, "Shooting Quasar Dragon".
 * With this information, "Stardust Dragon" has the most counterparts of all the "Signer Dragons", with a total of six, an "Assault Mode", a "Majestic form", a "Malefic" version, an "Accel Synchro",a "Delta Accel Synchro" and a "Limit Over Accel Synchro" counterpart. "Red Dragon Archfiend" comes in a close second having three similar forms, excluding a "Malefic" version.


 * "Stardust Dragon" and all of its counterparts have colored orbs on their bodies that look similar to the ones on Aliens' bodies, and are also similar to the "orbs" seen on their wielder Yusei Fudo's choice of clothing (actually his shoulder, elbow and knee guards while smaller ones decorate his collar, gloves and boots). The connection is clearly seen on "Debris Dragon", whose orbs are orange, like Yusei's.


 * This is the only card to be printed in all rarities excluding Rare and Common. (Namely Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Ultimate Rare, Holographic Rare in OCG, Ghost Rare in TCG, Secret Rare in TCG, Gold Ultra Rare in TCG and Duel Terminal Normal Parallel Rare in OCG).


 * "Stardust Dragon" appears in the artwork of the following cards:
 * "Shooting Star"
 * "Stardust Flash"
 * "Starlight Road"
 * "Stardust Mirage"
 * "Rage Resynchro"
 * "Miracle Synchro Fusion"
 * "A Leap to Awakening"
 * "Emerging Awakening"


 * This card now has the most support cards of all the Signer Dragons (with or without anime cards).


 * The tuner monster "Debris Dragon" seems to be a younger version of this card.


 * With the release of Gold Series 3, "Stardust Dragon" is the first Signer Dragon to be printed as a Gold Ultra Rare.


 * This Signer Dragon's abilities represents Yusei's willingness to risk his own life, whether it be for his friends, his loved ones, or strangers in need.


 * This card, along with "Number 39: Utopia" are the only Signature cards used by a Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist that have not had their signature attack made into a card.
