  • The attack of this card is called "Shining Neutron Blast" in the English version while in the Japanese version it is "Shining Burst" 「シャイニング・バースト」. The effect of this card is called "Shining Nova" in both version. Its negating effect is called "Shining Diffusion" in the English version, while in the Japanese version it is "Shining Flare" 「シャイニング・フレア」 . It was created by Maximillion Pegasus as a counter to the God cards. In the Japanese version only, it ultimately destroyed itself to defeat Anubis as explicitly stated by Pegasus himself.
  • After Kaiba obtained this card from Pegasus, he used it in his duel against Yami. He first summoned this after tributing his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. It then gained 300 ATK for each dragon in his graveyard. (Paladin of White Dragon was oddly not counted as a dragon type for some reason since it only gained 1500 ATK from the 5 other dragons in the graveyard). Its effect prevented Sorceror of Dark Magic's effect from decreasing its ATK. It was then used to destroy Yugi's "Sorceror of Dark Magic". Next turn Kaiba used this card to destroy "Big Shield Gardna". This card later gained 300 more ATK when Spear Dragon was sent to the graveyard because of Card of Demise. After a few turns, Anubis tried to tell Kaiba to finish Yugi now as he had almost nothing left to defeat him, however Kaiba wanted a perfect victory by using Yugi's Egyptian Gods against him. He attempted to destroy the Pyramid of Light with Shining Nova which destroyed this card itself in the process. Unfortunately Anubis protected the card and the effect was useless. Later Yami brought it back with "Monster Reborn" and used its Shining Nova effect again. This time it worked since Yugi was able to expose its weak point.
