- "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" is the Sacred Beast counterpart of "Slifer the Sky Dragon", noted by its red color, serpentine body, sharp, pointed facial features and second mouth, in addition to their similar ATK-increasing effects. However, while "Slifer" is the Egyptian God entity of lightning, "Uria" is the Sacred Beast's entity of fire.
- This card shares an evil version with "Slifer the Sky Dragon" called "The Wicked Eraser".
- The Sacred Beasts are named after angels in Judeo-Christianity; "Uria"'s name is an alternate spelling of the name of Uriah, which means "the Lord is my light".
- This card is featured on the artworks of the following cards:
- This is the only one of the Sacred Beasts (excluding their fusion, "Armityle the Chaos Phantom") not to have 4000 original ATK and DEF.
- In a 60 card Deck, this monster's maximum ATK will be 59000 if all 59 Continuous Trap Cards are in the Graveyard.
- Until the introduction of "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus", this card had the highest Level of all Pyro-Type monsters. It still has the second highest level of all Pyro-type monsters and has the highest level of all FIRE attributed Pyro-type monsters.
