Card Trivia:Guard Mantis
- This monster's OCG/TCG effects are based on its appearance in Yu-Gi-Oh! R Duel Round 13: "Enter Seto Kaiba!!".
- This monster's 1000 Life Point payment and effect to Special Summon it in Defense Position is based on its Normal Summon in the chapter, where Mendo Cino Normal Summoned this monster in Defense Position while "Labor Pain" was active, which requires paying 1000 LP to Normal Summon a monster.
- This monster's effect to change the battle position of an Insect monster during the opponent's turn is a meta-reference to the fact that Katsuya Jonouchi used "Stop Defense" on it, which allowed him to win the Duel by attacking this monster with "Jinzo".
- This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from the aforementioned chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga, specifically from the panel showing this monster being Summoned.
