  • This monster seems to have been intended as a specific Synchro Monster of "Speed Warrior" and "Junk Synchron", as seen in "Urgent Tuning" and "Synchro Strike".
  • This card was the first and last Synchro Monster Yusei Fudo Summoned in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.
    • This card is also the featured card of the first and last episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
  • On some printings, this monster's armor is blue instead of purple.
  • In Bonds - Kizuna, the first opening song of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, the words "JUNK WARRIOR ATK 2300" are briefly displayed from inside Yusei's helmet visor; this is one of the few opening song details that is retained in the international release of the anime.
  • This monster did not appear for over 30 episodes after Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episode 102102: "The Edge of Elimination, Part 3", until it finally was Summoned in the last episode where Yusei used its ATK-gaining effect to defeat Jack Atlas.
    • The victory of this monster over "Red Dragon Archfiend" in the last episode can be interpreted as its payback after being beaten by "Red Dragon Archfiend" in the first season.
  • This monster bears a strong resemblance to Eightron from the anime DT Eightron (both have a football shaped head, made from trash, wears a scarf and are melee combatants.)
  • This monster's signature attack, Scrap Fist, was directly homaged in the first episode of the anime Senki Zessho Symphogear G, in which protagonist Hibiki Tachibana enlarged her right arm and engaged a set of brass knuckles, then rocketed forward with boosters on her back and a scarf trailing behind in a fashion identical to the typical stock footage of this monster. The two series have the same director, Katsumi Ono.
