- This card's Japanese name contains a pun: 武力 means "military force" and would normally be pronounced buryoku, but the furigana above the characters indicates it is to be pronounced ブリキ buriki, which sounds like 錻力 buriki meaning "tin" or "tinplate".
- The card's Japanese name also includes a second, more subtle pun: 軍奏 gun sō is literally the words for "army" and "concert", but put together they sound like the one word 軍曹 gunsō meaning "sergeant". Thus this card's name as printed means "army concert of military force", but when spoken aloud sounds like "tin sergeant".
