• The Dodo Magia is the first and currently the most recurring Magia to appear again after being destroyed.

• The Dodo Magia is the first and the only Magia to use a finisher.
  • It is also the first Kaijin in the whole Rider series to ever use a finisher activated and announced by transformation equipment. All Kaijins before him either used an unannounced finisher-like move (e.g. Utopia Dopant) or shouted the finisher name itself.
  • The Splashing Whale Raider would later follow the trend of having a finisher announced by his transformation device.
• The users are often in the entertainment industry. Matsurida Z No. 1-4 being originally festival dancers while MC Che.ck-It-Out being a Rapper.
• Dodo Magia is the only Magia to have its legs being covered with additional armor part and also the only Magia to been able to be upgraded with additional armor parts and weapons.
