• This is one of the cover cards of History Archive Collection and Maze of Memories.

• This monsteris a retrained counterpart of "Black Luster Soldier".
  • This monster's name is composed of "Black Luster Soldier" or "Chaos Soldier" (カオス・ソルジャー Kaosu Sorujā), the original card it is based upon, and "Legendary Swordsman" (伝（でん）説（せつ）の剣（けん）闘（とう）士（し） Densetsu no Kentōshi), an informal name used by Dark Yugi to refer to "Black Luster Soldier" in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 117 (Duelist Duel 58): "Running on the Edge!"; the informal name is used again in the title of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 118 (Duelist Duel 59): "The Legendary Swordsman", where Dark Yugi Ritual Summons "Black Luster Soldier" for the first time, during his Duel against Mai Kujaku.
    • This monster's effect that activates if it was Ritual Summoned using a Normal Monster is based on the Ritual Summon of "Black Luster Soldier" in that chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, where Dark Yugi uses "Griffore" and "Gaia The Fierce Knight" as Tributes.
    • This monster's effect to shuffle all cards the opponent controls into the Deck when this attacking monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle is a reference to the outcome of the Duel in that chapter of the manga and Yu-Gi-Oh! episode 03030: "Duel Identity, Part 2": after Dark Yugi's "Black Luster Soldier" destroyed "Harpie's Pet Dragon", Mai surrendered the Duel, "returning" her "Harpie" monsters to her Deck because she did not want to see them harmed.

• This is the first Ritual Monster to specifically list two Ritual Spell Cards in its card text ("Chaos Form" or "Super Soldier Ritual").
