- This monster's appearance is based on "Dark Paladin" and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" fused together.
- Fittingly, "Dark Magician" is one of the Fusion Materials needed to Fusion Summon the former.
- Like "Dark Paladin", this card has the effect to discard a card in order to negate an effect, though unlike this card, "Dark Paladin" can only negate Spells.
- This monster's armor is similar to "Lord of the Red".
- This card is a reference to the friendship between Yami Yugi/Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler (not unlike "Dark Flare Knight"), with their respective ace monsters being "Dark Magician" and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon".
- Its name is also similar to "Rainbow Neos".
- It has the same ATK and DEF as "Blue Eyes White Dragon", "Black Luster Soldier", "Blue Eyes Shining Dragon", "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", and "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon".
- This monster is similar to "Number F0: Utopic Draco Future", as both are a combination of a main protagonist's humanoid ace monster and their best friend's draconic ace monster.
- Both debuted in Legendary Gold Box.
