Card Trivia

 The OCG name for this card translates into Dragon Warrior, which is the translation for the words Ryu Senshi in Japanese.
This card, Dark Balter the Terrible and Fiend Skull Dragon all have the same ATK and DEF alongside similar card effects. All three were released in Struggle of Chaos (or, in the TCG, Legacy of Darkness).
The circle on his hand may be the one seen in Array of Revealing Light.
Ryu Senshi could be the result of Warrior Dai Grepher if he chooses the path of light in The Paths of Destiny, instead of possibly becoming Dark Grepher and eventually Dark Lucius.
Ryu Senshi could also be the result of Warrior Dai Grepher uniting with Spirit Ryu through Array of Revealing Light.
