Card Trivia:Red Dragon Archfiend


 * This card is based upon the painting The Red Dragon by William Blake. Also, "Stardust Dragon" is based upon "The Woman Clothed in the Sun" (also featured in the painting), which happens to be surrounded by stars and opposing the demon in the painting much like Stardust is surrounded by stars and opposes the "Red Dragon Archfiend" in effect and posture.


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


 * This monster has an upgraded version named "Red Nova Dragon", and "Majestic Red Dragon".
 * This card's Japanese name, "Red Demon's Dragon", may have acted as foreshadowing to this since the true form of "Red Nova Dragon" is the "Red Nova" Demon.


 * This card has a manga counterpart called "Burning Demon Dragon Red Archfiend".


 * "Red Dragon Archfiend" ("Red Demon's Dragon") bears a name similar to "B. Skull Dragon" (Black Demon's Dragon). Both cards are also demon themed with horns.


 * This card's effect of destroying other monsters when it attacks is similar to the effect of "Ancient Dragon".


 * This card reflects Jack's actions as its second effect destroys its controller's monsters similar to how Jack turned his back on his comrades.
 * This card with its high attack and ability that punishes defensive play for both players reflects Jack's philosophy on duelling. He always wants to be on the offensive with the most powerful monster on the field, dislikes defensive play and goes all out on his opponent at all times.


 * Of the six Signer Dragons, this card and "Life Stream Dragon" are the only ones not to be featured as a Cover Card nor a Ghost Rare. Instead, this card's "Assault Mode", "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" is featured on the cover of Crimson Crisis and is the Ghost Rare of the set, while "Majestic Red Dragon" is the Cover Card of Absolute Powerforce and is the Ghost Rare of that set and "Life Stream Dragon's" Machine counterpart, "Power Tool Dragon" is the Ghost Rare and cover card of Raging Battle.


 * This card has the highest ATK of all Signer Dragons.


 * This card along with "Black-Winged Dragon" are the only Signer Dragons that have any relation to a specific archetype. In addition, they share the same Attribute, DARK.
 * They are also the only two Signer Dragons to have their name changed in the TCG.
