• The pot in this card's artwork appears in the artworks of "A.I. Mine", "Asleep at the Switch", "Avatar of The Pot", "Cash Back", "Counter Cleaner", "Dark Spirit Art - Greed", "End of the Line" (as a hologram), "Exchange", "Extra Buck", "Fine", "Giant Tortoise of Greed", "Goblin Circus", "Goblin of Greed", "Goblin Out of the Frying Pan", "Greed Grado", "Greed Pact", "Jackpot 7", "Jar Robber", "Mistaken Arrest", "Moray of Greed", "One by One", "Panic Shuffle", "Peeking Goblin", "Progress Potter", "Redeemable Jar", "Return", "Shard of Greed", "Single Purchase", "Spell Books from the Pot", "Spirit of the Pot of Greed" and "The Gift of Greed".
  • This pot is also one of the halves of "Pot of Duality", "Pot of Desires", and "Pot of Extravagance", both in terms of card artwork and effects.

• Though this card has been Forbidden in the TCG since October 2005 and the OCG since March 2006, it has continued to receive homage through other cards such as "Shard of Greed" and "Moray of Greed". It also has direct counterparts which imitate its effect in more balanced manners and/or with more contextual purposes - such cards include: "Reckless Greed", "Allure of Darkness", "Red Dragon Vase", "Solar Recharge", "Trade-In", "Rare Value", "Pendulum Halt", "Spellbook of Knowledge", “Sekka's Light”, "Orcustrated Return", and "Cards of Consonance".
  • This makes it similar to the infamous Magic: The Gathering card "Black Lotus", a card that was retroactively banned for its lack of balance, but repeatedly referenced since then by later, more measured counterparts.
  • This card's effect is one of the four effects of Forbidden cards emulated by "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan" (though it was not yet Forbidden at the time of the card's release) and "Pot of The Forbidden".
  • This card is one of many Forbidden cards whose status is referenced in the artwork of other cards, sometimes alongside other Forbidden cards; for example, its appearance in the artwork of "Mistaken Arrest" depicts it as contraband, which leads to the arrest of "Sangan", the red fiend from "Delinquent Duo" and the angel from "Graceful Charity" when the pot is found inside the cab the fiend was driving.

• According to the Master Guide, someone can put their hand inside the "Pot of Greed" and find something that will delight them, but the pot will explode once they take their hand out.

• This card has the second shortest effect text of any card, after "Jar of Greed".

• This card was essentially a staple in the Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, when it was used by nearly every main protagonist and antagonist. Following this card's status as Forbidden, it no longer appeared in any of the anime, with its last appearance being in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode 104104: "Future Changes".
  • However, this card's Rush Duel version has appeared in both the anime and manga since Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS.
