Card Trivia

 This monster is the cover card for The Dark Illusion.
This is the first Synchro Pendulum Monster to be revealed in both the anime and the OCG/TCG
Both this card and the first Xyz Pendulum Monster, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon, are used by Yuya Sakaki.
Both are Summoned via Yuya treating one of the monsters to become viable Material for its respective Summoning procedure either by its own effect or another.
In which case this card treats Enlightenment Paladin as a Tuner (even though the anime effect-based requirement for it doesn't technically needs one to be treated as a Tuner), while the effects of Xiangke Magician and Xiangsheng Magician treats Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon as a Level 7 monster from Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon.
It is also worth noting that both Extra Deck Pendulum Monsters were Summoned by using 1 Pendulum Monster and 1 Extra Deck monster with the same card type.
This card appears to be an upgraded form of Enlightenment Paladin in terms of name, stats, appearance, and effect.
Also, to somehow symbolize even further this fact, the first time Yuya used Enlightment Paladin was during Episode 79 of the anime while Nirvana High Paladin's debut was in Episode 97.
This card and Shooting Star Dragon have several similarities:
Both have the same ATK, DEF, and Level.
They are both Synchro Monsters that require its non-Tuner Synchro Material monsters to be a Synchro Monster themselves.
They are both evolutions of 2 monsters with the same ATK, DEF and Level (Enlightenment Paladin and Stardust Dragon).
They are both used by a protagonist (Yuya Sakaki and Yusei Fudo) to fight against an upgraded version of Jack Atlas' signature monsters.
Their monster effect are an upgraded version of their base form.
In Buddhism, Nirvana is a place where one who achieved Enlightenment goes to after death, a reference to Clear Mind.
