Editing Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (section)

== Trivia ==

* The design of this card was overseen by Kenichi Hara.
* The seven Spirit Keys are featured in this card's artwork.
* This monster appears in the artworks of ''Phantasmal Martyrs'', ''Dimension Fusion Destruction'', ''Cerulean Skyfire'', and ''Awakening of the Sacred Beasts''.
* ''Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder'' serves as the Sacred Beast counterpart to ''The Winged Dragon of Ra'', distinguished by its yellow coloration and draconian appearance. While ''The Winged Dragon of Ra'' represents the Egyptian God entity of fire, Hamon symbolizes the Sacred Beast entity of lightning.
* In homage to ''The Winged Dragon of Ra'', Hamon's attack is named ''Cerulean Skyfire''.
* This card's effect of inflicting damage to the opponent is a reversal of Ra's anime effect. With Ra, the player pays 1000 Life Points to destroy a monster, whereas Hamon causes the opponent to lose 1000 Life Points when it destroys a monster in battle.
* The Sacred Beasts derive their names from angels in Judeo-Christian tradition.
* Hamon's name is rooted in the ''Book of Enoch''.
* This card boasts the highest original ATK and DEF among all Thunder-Type monsters.
* It is tied with ''Thunder Dragon Titan'' and ''Prank-Kids Battle Butler'' for the highest Level among Thunder-Type monsters. Coincidentally, all three share equal ATK and DEF values.
* In the anime, the card's border design resembled that of the anime-exclusive Egyptian God Cards.
* Of all the Sacred Beasts, Hamon is the only one whose name remained unchanged in the TCG adaptation
