 * In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" are named Azrael, Ibris (a mistranslated of Iblis), and Djibril. These are the Islamic names for the Angel of Death, Satan ("Iblis"), and the angel Gabriel, respectively. Azrael is an informal name, only occurring in non-religious sources (including both Sikhism and some Jewish lore as well), while Iblis is the lord of the jinn, rather than the principal fallen angel.


 * This card has two younger versions: the Tuner monster "The White Stone of Legend", and the dragon displayed in the card "Paladin of White Dragon".


 * This card is Seto's signature card. It shares its 3000 ATK with the rivals of other series, which are Chazz's "Armed Dragon LV10", Jack's "Red Dragon Archfiend", Kite's "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and Declan's "D/D/D Doom King Armageddon". In the Viz translation of Kaiba's Duel against Ishizu, Kaiba states that the "Blue-Eyes" embodies his soul. Jack Atlas calls his "Red Dragon Archfiend" "Waga tamashi," which translates as "my very soul" in the Japanese, and Kite has called "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" "his soul" (Ore no tamashi).
 * In addition, many trump cards of other archetypes also share the same ATK and DEF (such as "Horus LV8", "Judgment Dragon", "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" and "Volcanic Doomfire"), and often the same Type as well.


 * In some Yu-Gi-Oh! video games (Dark Duel Stories), this card has an ally, the "Mystical Elf", which can increase the ATK and DEF of this card by 500.


 * In most expansion sets, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cards have the Set Number ****-**001.


 * The Weekly Shonen Jump March 2014 membership promotional version of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is the first card to be printed with an italicized Matrix typeface used for its card text. On every card before it, the Matrix font is only used in regular type (not bold, not italic).
