* [[Man of Kryptonite]]: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is designed to take down Xyz monsters even going by its real-life profile, where it can remove itself and the monster it battles from play and return both to the field later. Due to the way Xyz Monsters work, this removes their Xyz Material Monsters, leaving them without the ability to activate their effects which need them to give up an Xyz Material. To add insult to injury, Galaxy-Eyes gains 500 ATK for each Xyz Material the other removed monster had when they jumped out of play. If it takes out an Xyz with five materials, this makes it stronger than ''F.G.D'', one of the two strongest monsters in the game. God only knows how Galaxy-Eyes will be souped up for the anime (given that Zexal-era cards tend to be [[Nerf|Nerfed]] to the extreme...)
