• In the TCG, "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" was released in August 2004, before "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", which was released in January 2006. So before then, "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" was unplayable, even though it was legal for tournament use.

• This card resembles the same theme as "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" in such as way that it is an advanced, metallic seeming version of its base card. Also, it is similar in the way that it is 2 levels higher and that they both gain 300 ATK for each Dragon Type monster in the controller's graveyard.

• Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's eyes are actually red, or orange. This can be seen in the Promotional Wallpapers, and a good look at the card.

• The French version of this card is called "Dragon aux Yeux Bleus Rayonnants" ("Shining Blue-Eyes Dragon"), meaning that the only shining thing is the the dragon's eyes, instead of the dragon itself.

• This monster is incredibly similar to Metal Gear Solid's Metal Gear Ray. They both share similar arms, legs, and body type. Ray's mouth even opened a similar way to fire its cannon.
