  • This card represents the the DARK Ignis, Ai.
    • This card's DARK Attribute and its Special Summoning effects reference how DARK monsters often feature swarming effects.
    • This monster is based on "Decode Talker", the first Link Monster acquired by Playmaker via Storm Access with the help of Ai.
      • Both cards feature the same Attribute, ATK (2300), and Link Rating.
      • Both cards feature a Special Summoning effect. This card can Special Summon the player's monsters, while "Decode Talker" can gain ATK based on all cards it points to.
        • This is a reference to Ai's later view on humanity, his mourning over the other Ignis, and deriving strength from his bond with them.
        • Unlike "Decode Talker", this card does not have an effect to Tribute other monsters to activate its effects, reflecting Ai's desire to see his friends again and never lose them.
      • This card's name, "Dark Templar @Ignister" (ダークナイトアットイグニスター Dāku Naito Atto Igunisutā, "Dark Knight @Ignister"), is a reference to Ai's demeanor in the final season of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, where he performed vigilante justice on those who wronged him and the other Ignis, similar to the character archetype of "the dark knight" or "the knight templar".
  • The "@Ignister" logo is located on this monster's left shoulder pad.
  • This is the last monster in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime to declare an attack.
  • In the anime, this is the first monster whose Summon chant was interrupted, as, according to Roboppi, it was too long.
