It is a common misconception that this card cannot be Summoned whilst your opponent controls no monsters, as it was [[Normal Summon|Summoned]] on the first turn of the Duel between [[Tyranno Hassleberry]] and [[Sartorius]] by the former whilst the latter's field was understandably empty. It is speculated that the card cannot attack whilst your opponent controls no monsters, but this has yet to be noted in the anime, and a situation whereby the opposing player had no monsters on the field yet [[Giant Rex]] was inexplicably unable to attack has yet to occur.
