• This is the cover card of Hidden Arsenal 4: Trishula's Triumph and Duel Terminal - Pulse of the Trishula!!.

• This monster appears in the artworks of "Ice Dragon's Prison", "Nekroz Kaleidoscope", "Terror of Trishula", "Underwater Snow Prison", and "Void Trap Hole".
  • This monster's three heads are depicted in the artwork of "Mirror of the Ice Barrier".

• This monster is named after Trishula, the trident wielded by Shiva, the god of destruction in Hindu mythology. In Hindi, it is written as "त्रिशूल" and is pronounced without the "a".
  • A trident is a pole-arm weapon with three prongs at the end. This reflects this monster's three-headed appearance and its effect to banish the opponent's cards from their hand, field, and Graveyard.

• This monster features several counterparts:
  • An "lswarm" counterpart: "Evilswarm Ouroboros"
  • A "Nekroz" counterpart: "Nekroz of Trishula"
  • An upgraded Fusion Monster counterpart: "Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment"
  • A retrained counterpart: "Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier"

• This is the first monster to have a Duel Terminal installment named after it.
  • This is also the first monster to have a Hidden Arsenal set named after it.

• In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia, the word "Barrier" in this card's name is mistakenly written lowercase, as "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice barrier". The same occurrence can be seen on the TCG version of this card in Duel Terminal 4.

• Kalin Kessler has datamined audio from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links pertaining to this card, even though he never used it in the anime or manga. This is a possible reference to "Infernity" Decks being able to Summon this card multiple times in the same turn with the correct setup in the OCG/TCG.
