The presence of the word, Judgment, in this card's name further reinforces this connection. In said prophecy, the world is destroyed by God, while in the case of Duel Monsters, Judgment Dragon, destroys all cards on the field except for itself. This monster's effect may refer to the prophecy of Judgment Day. This monster's inclusion in Turbo Pack: Booster One was the first instance a card was printed in the TCG as an Ultimate Rare without an Ultra Rare, Super Rare or Rare counterpart and the first to have a Secret Rare counterpart that isn't a tin promo. This monster also resembles a hybrid between a European gryphon and a Chinese dragon. This monster resembles the Luck Dragon, Falkor, from The Neverending Story. It is partially destroyed, so it is likely after the effects of Light of Destruction, or possibly it was the destructive force of this card's own effect. Realm of Light can be seen in the background of this card's artwork. This monster has a Dark counterpart, Punishment Dragon, and a Synchro/ retrained counterpart, Judgment, the Dragon of Heaven. This monster appears in the artworks of Lightsworn Judgment, Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn, and Twilight Twin Dragons.
