- This monster is based on Mahad, one of the Sacred Guardians.
- Just as this monster is based on Mahad, "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" is based on Kisara, the carrier of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". Similarly, both cards are able to Summon their respective monster from the hand, Deck, or Graveyard.
- This monster's effect of Special Summoning "Dark Magician" after being destroyed is a reference to Mahad becoming said monster after his death in the anime and manga.
- "Palladium" in this card's name is a word used figuratively to mean anything believed to provide protection or safety.
- In this case, it could possibly refer to Mahad, himself, and his willingness to sacrifice his own life in order to ensure the safety of Atem.
- Just as how "Dark Magician" opposes "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", this card can be considered a rival to "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon". Both are counterparts to the original card, have opposing Attributes and stances in their artworks, appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, and act as the final trump cards to Yugi Mutou and Seto Kaiba respectively.
- The needle-like jewelry on this monster's belt look like the pointers found on the Millennium Ring, possibly as a reference to Mahad being the user of the ring while he was alive.
- This card has a female counterpart, Palladium Oracle Mana.
