- This card was the first and only Fusion Monster played by Yusei Fudo.
- According to a Twitter post, Yusei came up with this card by watching Jaden Yuki and Yami Yugi's turns against Paradox.[citation needed]
- Interestingly, in the anime this card is a fusion of Yusei Fudo's two favorite cards, "Stardust Dragon" and "Junk Warrior". Its effect allows it to be treated as "Stardust Dragon" in a manner similar to the effect of "Junk Warrior", where it gets stronger based on cards already played. Its second effect is very defensive, reflecting Yusei's overall style of play.
- Design-wise, it looks closer to a fusion of "Stardust Dragon" and "Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth", which has a similar art style to "Junk Warrior" and other monsters used by Yusei.
- This card is one of the few Fusion Monsters to appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, alongside "Multiple Piece Golem", "Rare Fish" and "Centaur Mina".
- This is the Cover Card for Duelist Revolution.
- Although tangentially related to them, this is the first Cover Card of the 5D's series to have no relation to the "Signer Dragons".
- This is also the second Ghost Rare to not be related to any Archetype ("Honest" was the first).
- It is also only the second Ghost Rare during the 5D's era to not be a Synchro Monster ("Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" being the first).
- This card's pose is similar to that of "Stardust Dragon". Additionally, both this card and "Stardust Dragon" are WIND Attribute Monsters and they are both used by Yusei Fudo.
- This is the Dragon-Type equivalent of "UFOroid Fighter", which requires ""UFOroid" + 1 Warrior-Type monster."
- This is also the Dragon-Type equivalent of "Elemental HERO Neos Knight", which requires ""Elemental HERO Neos" + 1 Warrior-Type monster."
- This is the third strongest WIND Monster in the game, the second being "Shooting Star Dragon", and the strongest is "Majestic Star Dragon".
- Coincidentally, all three are used by Yusei Fudo.
- In Latin, the word "Draco" refers to Dragon.
- "Equiste" refers to an order of Roman warriors who fought on horseback. Since "Equiste" is actually a plural form of the singular "eques", a more accurate name might be "Dragoeques". However, the use of the plural word is likely a reference to the fact that "Drago-Equiste" is a Fusion Monster (also in Latin, the word "Eques" refers to Knight, "Equiste" means "Knights", so the translation of the name of this card is "Dragon Knight Dragon Knights").
- Oddly, despite being intended as a counter against the "Meklord Emperors", Yusei never used this card against Yliaster.
