Manga

• This card was originally played on the first duel between Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba, that took place only in the manga. Seto used this monster to destroy Yugi's "Blackland Fire Dragon", and then increased its strength through "Megamorph" to 2040, in order to destroy Yugi's "Mystical Elf". This monster continued to destroy Yugi's monsters for several turns until it was defeated by "Summoned Skull".
• When Yami Yugi dueled The Death Imitator, the Death Imitator summoned this monster during his first turn to remind Yugi of his first duel against Kaiba. This would have created a conflict in the NAS anime since that duel was omitted. Thus, this card was changed to "Hitotsu-Me Giant".
