Card Trivia:Junk Destroyer

"Junk Destroyer":

This card's name is a reference to its own effect ("Destroyer") and how it can utilize many low level monsters ("Junk") to maximize its ability.

This is the fifth Synchro Monster that requires "Junk Synchron" as the Tuner monster. The other are "Junk Warrior", "Junk Archer", "Junk Gardna" and "Junk Berserker".
- However, in terms of real cards, it was the third Synchro that uses "Junk Synchron" as the Tuner to be created.

"Junk Destroyer's" effect name is Tidal Energy and its attack name is Destroy Knuckle.
- In the English Dub, "Junk Destroyer's" effect name is Tidal Sweep and its attack name is Fists of Ferocity.

During both of his duels with this card, Yusei used 2 non-Tuner monsters for this card as an attempt to destroy two cards on his opponent's field.
- The first time he Synchro Summoned this card, he used this card's listed Tuner monster, "Junk Synchron". The second time he Synchro Summoned this card, he used the substitute Tuner monster, "Quickdraw Synchron".

The orbs on the torso of this card's artwork may represent the maximum number of Synchro Materials a player can use from their own field; the red orb in the ceneter may represent the Tuner (also a possible reference to the two Tuners a player can use), and the four blue orbs may represent the non-Tuner monsters.
- In the anime, when "Junk Destroyer" uses his effect, he charges energy from the blue orbs on his torso, and releases the energy out of the red orb in the center of his torso.

This card also resembles Mazinkaiser. Its head is very similar, and the "wings" on its back resemble the Kaiser Scrander.

This card can also be said to resemble the Gundam Double X from the mecha series After War Gundam X due to a similar color scheme, X shaped wing binders and the use of notable sound effects from the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise during the battle scenes with this card in Episode 101.
