  • In the anime, this is the only "Guardian" monster that does not need an Equip Spell Card on the field in order to be Summoned, requiring instead the destruction of "Guardian Eatos".
    • Indeed, this monster and "Guardian Eatos" (the only other "Guardian" to not have this Summoning Condition in the real game) are the only two such "Guardian" monsters to not have their correlating Equip Spell weapon visible in their artwork.
  • Comparing this card's artwork to that of "Guardian Eatos" suggests that this card is a darker, "fallen" version of "Eatos", as the dress is identical to the one "Eatos" wears, and the wings are lowered and recolored black.
    • This is further suggested by their Types: "Eatos" is a Fairy-type monster while "Guardian Dreadscythe" is a Fiend-type monster. Also, "Dreadscythe" "rises" (summoned) after "Eatos" "falls" (destroyed).
    • In addition, this card's anime effects also reflects the fall of Rafael, the user of the "Guardian" archetype in the anime. Prior to "Guardian Eatos" being destroyed in battle by "Amulet Dragon", Rafael vowed not to leave any of his monsters in the Graveyard as a sign of respect to his duel monster spirit companions, but when "Guardian Eatos" was destroyed, Rafael became enraged and sacrificed all of his monsters to power up "Dreadscythe" in an attempt to defeat Yami Yugi.
