Trivia

• This weapon is a reference to the "Sky Striker" archetype of cards in the Yu-gi-oh! card game.
  • The weapon's concept and design are references to the archetype's play style, which revolves around switching between four different Link Monsters to best suit the situation. Specifically, each form references one of the main cards used- the Annihilation Form references Sky Striker Ace - Kagari, the Defender form references Sky Striker Ace- Shizuku, the Railgunner form references Sky Striker Ace - Hayate and the Close Combat form references Sky Striker Ace - Kaina. This reference is also furthered by the fact that these cards are all evolved variants of the same monster, Sky Striker Ace - Raye.
  • Additionally, the attack each form uses appears to represent the "Sky Striker Maneuver" Spell Card associated with the respective form: Afterburners for the Annihilation Form, Jamming Waves for the Defender Form, Vector Blast for the Railgunner Form and Scissors Cross for the Close Combat form.
