- This card has the same theme as "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" and "Dark Eradicator Warlock" as each of them is an advanced form of their original counterparts.
- In the TCG, "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" was released in August 2004, before "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", which was released in January 2006; until then, "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" was unplayable, even though it was legal for tournament use.
- This card follows the same theme as "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon", as it is an advanced, metallic-seeming, armless version of its base card, has the same original ATK and DEF as its base version, is 2 levels higher than its base version, and gains 300 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster in the controller's Graveyard. The main difference being that while "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" only requires its base version as a sacrifice and has no further effects, this card requires "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"'s triple fused form, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", as a sacrifice and has the rather unique effect of allowing the controller to choose which effects can affect it.
- Despite being a Dragon-Type monster, its appearance is more like a Machine-Type, similar to "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon".
- The design of "Majestic Star Dragon" is also similar to this card's design.
- This is one of the harder monsters to summon due to the fact that you need three copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to create the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" needed to summon this card, unless the user uses cards such as "Future Fusion", "Dragon's Mirror", or a Fusion-Substitute Monster.
- Ironically, if no other Dragon-Types were in the Graveyard besides the ones needed to Summon it, this monster will start with lesser Attack than its required Tribute (3 BEWD + 1 BEUD = +1200 ATK, 3000 + 1200 = 4200 ATK, less ATK than BEUD whose ATK is 4500).
