Trivia

• In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike was the only Z-Move to use a kanji title in its Japanese name.
• The Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike may be based lightly on the series "Fist of the North Star" main protagonist, as they have a scar of the Big Dipper constellation in 7 points and preform martial arts.
