• This is one of the cover cards of Structure Deck: Joey, Deck Custom Pack 01, Legendary Collection 4: Joey's World, and Speed Duel: Streets of Battle City.

• This monster appears in the artworks of "Amplifier","Cyber Energy Shock", "Everlasting Alloy", "Factory of 100 Machines", "Judgment Sword", "Psychic Shockwave", and "Psychic Wave".
  • "Cyber Energy Shock" is the signature move of this monster.

• This monster's TCG name is based on the first two base kanji for "artificial" (人造, Jinzō), which makes up its Japanese name, "Android - Psycho Shocker" (人造人間－サイコ・ショッカー, Jinzōningen - Saiko Shokkā). The base kanji making up the word "android" (人造人間) can be read as "artificial human".
  • An android is a humanoid robot or a synthetic organism commonly used in the science fiction genre. They are designed to imitate or resemble a human being, which reflects this monster's Machine Type.

• The background of this card's artwork is pink, referencing the pink-colored borders of Trap Cards, which this monster serves as its anti-support.

• This monster has several versions:
  • An upgraded version: "Jinzo - Lord"
  • A weaker version: "Jinzo - Returner"
  • A retrained version: "Jinzo the Machine Menace"
  • An Xyz Monster version: "Jinzo - Layered"
  • A retrained Rush Duel version: "Jinzo - Amplified"

• This monster has a Spell Card-negating counterpart: "Spell Canceller".

• This monster has a Trap Card counterpart: "Royal Decree".

• This is the first Legend Effect Monster to be released in Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel.

• The DARK Fiend effect of "Sky Scourge Invicil" is directly based on this monster's effect.

• In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL episode 01515: "Training Days, Part 1", this monster appears as a statue in the Duel Sanctuary.

• In the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime, this monster could destroy Trap Cards instead of negating them. This effect is implemented in the release of "Jinzo the Machine Menace".
  • In the anime, during the Virtual World arc, Leichter takes the form of "Jinzo" to act as his Deck Master. Its Deck Master ability allows him to destroy all of the opponent's Trap Cards while leaving his own unaffected.
    • Ironically, Leichter's opponent was Seto Kaiba while Johnson, who took the form of "Judge Man" to act as his Deck Master, was Joey Wheeler's opponent. Both monsters are used by the other one's opponent, feature a Deck Master effect that destroys a certain type of the opponent's cards on the field, and share the same Level (6) and DEF (1500).
