- This monster's name appears to contradict its appearance, given that the roses which adorn its body are red rather than black. However, when examining the name more closely, one notices that this monster's skin is actually black in color, and the name can be taken as a more literal description of this monster's nature.
- This is the only monster to have been a featured card in an anime more than any other card, being featured four times.
- This was the first Signer Dragon to be Limited on September 1, 2009. It went back to Unlimited one year later.

- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, this card, "Red Dragon Archfiend", and "Life Stream Dragon" were the only Signer Dragons that were never absorbed by any of the "Meklord" monsters at least once.

- Like all the other Signer Dragons, this monster represents this card's owner and their initial ambitions and desires; in this monster's case, its design is a reference to Akiza being beautiful in appearance, but dangerous in nature.
- This card's first effect of destroying all cards on the field when Synchro Summoned represents Akiza's psychic abilities hurting the people around her; also, this card's second effect of forcing an opponent's Defense Position monster to Attack Position and reducing its ATK to 0 represents how she could critically injure anyone she Dueled as the "Black Rose".
