- This card's Japanese name is redundant, since "シン" (pronounced Shin) also sounds like one of the words for "Truth". Kazuki Takahashi has stated that the word "Sin, シン", the "Malefic" archetype's original name, is intended as a pun for "Sin" and "Truth", so this is intentional.
- This is the only "Malefic" monster which does not have monochromatic colors (black and white).
