Card Trivia:Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon


 * This is the Cover Card of Photon Shockwave.


 * This is the signature card of Kaito Tenjo.


 * A photon is a packet of light in quantum physics.


 * This card's name follows the same pattern as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Red-Eyes B. Dragon".
 * In further relation to the two dragons, this card's color scheme could be a reference to them as well. Blue in reference to "Blue-Eyes" (parts of the armor, and the eyes if one looks are also blue) and red in reference to "Red-Eyes" (parts of the armor).
 * Looking at its effect, there is some kind of relation since these two monsters' ATK are more than 2000 so they can be Tributed to Special Summon this card.
 * This monster's Attack, Photon Stream of Destruction, is also very similar to both in name and appearance to the Japanese anime attack of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".


 * This card has the same ATK and DEF as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and the same ATK as "Armed Dragon LV10" and "Red Dragon Archfiend", the Signature cards of Seto Kaiba, Chazz Princeton, and Jack Atlas, the rivals in the previous anime series, possibly hinting that Kaito Tenjo, this card's owner, is the real rival for ZEXAL.


 * The glow surrounding this card is similar to the light that appears during a Synchro Summon, and the aura that has been shown to glow around "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in the final arc of the anime during the fight against Zorc and a similar aura that "Stardust Dragon" has occasionally glowed with when being powered up by one of Yusei Fudo's Trap Cards.
 * Despite this card's name style or theme this card doesn't appear to have any real relation to "Stardust Dragon", "Shooting Star Dragon" or "Shooting Quasar Dragon".


 * This card's head bears resemblance to "Felgrand Dragon".


 * This is the first Cover Card during the ZEXAL era that is not a "Numbers" or an Xyz Monster at all.


 * This is the first Cover Card since Crimson Crisis to not be in the 37th to 42nd position within the set.


 * This is the first non-Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster to be a Cover Card since "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" in Crimson Crisis.


 * If you look closely this dragon has something on its chest that resembles Ultramen's Color Timer.


 * This card's name could be also translated as "Galaxy Eye's Photon Dragon", since "Eye's" and "Eyes" would be written the same in katakana, and the kanji translates as such.


 * Kaito Tenjo uses this card against "Number" monsters. Even though they cannot be destroyed, they still can be Banished from the field. In fact, this card's ability to get rid of Xyz materials and keep attacking Xyz monsters every turn makes this card an actual Xyz anti-support card.
 * The "Galaxy" word in its name probably comes from that fact. Indeed, a galaxy-like portal appears during a Xyz Summon of a Number monster.
 * While this card is an Xyz anti-support card, it is resisted by Yuma's signature card, "Number 39: Utopia", as it can negate its attack and stop its effect, further hinting that Kaito is the ZEXAL series rival.


 * This card is similar to the "Meklord" archetype, seeing as its effect targets the new type of monster. "Meklords" target Synchros, whilst this one targets Xyz's.
