Card Trivia

 Masaki the Legendary Swordsman, Flame Manipulator and Heart of the Underdog, are pictured in this card's artwork.
This is a possible reference to Joey Wheeler, as both monsters are Fusion Material Monsters for Flame Swordsman, one of his trademark cards, and the character in Heart of the Underdog also resembles him.
This seems to be a Normal Monster Deck, Masaki the Legendary Swordsman and Flame Manipulator are Normal Monsters and Heart of the Underdog is a excellent support card for Normal Monsters.
This is the only card that allows you to fuse monsters from 4 different places: the field, Deck, hand, and/or Graveyard. Other cards like Polymerization, Cyberdark Impact!, and Miracle Fusion only fuse monsters from 2 or 3 of these places. There are cards that even fuse monsters from only 1 place, such as Future Fusion.
Combined with Super Polymerization, this is the only card that allows for the Fusion Summon of Super Fusion God before Master Rule 4.
This is the only card whose artwork shows where the Banished Zone is.
This is one of the few cards that show an actual duel scene. Others include Three of a Kind, etc.

This card does not target.: Chain Material

It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.

The card "Chain Material" itself does not have an effect that Fusion Summons. The turn that "Chain Material" is activated, when "Polymerization" etc. is activated and performs a Fusion Summon, you can apply the effect "you can remove from play, from your side of the field, Deck, hand or Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on the Fusion Monster Card, and use them as Fusion Material Monsters". (You can also Fusion Summon normally, without applying it.)

If you apply the effect "you can remove from play, from your side of the field, Deck, hand or Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on the Fusion Monster Card, and use them as Fusion Material Monsters", you choose and banish the whole chosen set of Fusion Materials using this effect. (You cannot apply the effect to only 1 of the Fusion Materials in the set.)

Even in this case, you must use the activated "D/D Swirl Slime" as one of the Fusion Materials.
