• This card's name is based on the beginning of Yusei Fudo's Synchro Summoning chants in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, as well as the title of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Ride 65: "Gathering Light!!", when this card debuted.

• This card is a manga counterpart of "Converging Wishes", a card used by Yusei Fudo in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.
  • Both cards are named after the beginning of Yusei Fudo's Synchro Summoning chants in the anime.
  • Both cards are related to a specific series of Dragon Synchro Monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's era; this card is related to the Duel Dragon series in the manga, while "Converging Wishes" is related to the Signer Dragon series in the anime.
  • Both cards are used during the Duel between Yusei Fudo and a final antagonist which result in the former's victory; this card is used against Rex Goodwin in the manga, while "Converging Wishes" is used against Z-one in the anime.

• In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's manga, this card's effects specifically affected Duel Dragons. In the OCG/TCG, each of these effects affects a different group of monsters that all include most Duel Dragons, but none of them include all of the Duel Dragons. All Duel Dragons except the Fusion Monster "Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon" are Level 7 or higher Synchro Monsters, and most of them are Level 7 or 8 Dragon monsters.
  • In the OCG/TCG, the cost for its first effect requires banishing a "Power Tool" or Level 7 or 8 Dragon Synchro Monster. In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Ride 65: "Gathering Light!!", Yusei used 5 different Synchro Monsters for this effect, all of which met these conditions. ("Power Tool Mecha Dragon" was the only Duel Dragon used for this effect that is not a Dragon monster.)
  • In the OCG/TCG, its second effect boosts the ATK of Level 7 or higher Synchro Monsters for every banished Level 7 or higher Synchro Monster. In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Ride 65: "Gathering Light!!" and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Ride 66: "Ruler of the Ritual!!", this effect was used to increase the ATK of "Stardust Spark Dragon" for each of the Duel Dragons used for its first effect (all of which are Level 7 or higher Synchro Monsters).
  • In the OCG/TCG, its third effect can negate an attack once per turn while its controller has a banished Synchro Monster. In the manga, it can negate an attack once per turn if a Duel Dragon has been placed underneath it by its first effect.
