• "Granel", being the biggest in overall size compared to "Wisel" and "Skiel", may be a rudimentary representation of Jakob as being the largest member of the Three Emperors of Yliaster.

• Based on original ATK, this appears to be the weakest of the Meklord Emperors. However, one may consider it the strongest because of its 3 effects:
  • If used in a proper Deck like a Psychic or Fairy Deck, its ATK can greatly increase past the ATK of "Meklord Emperor Wisel ∞".
  • Its ability to Special Summon its equipped Synchro Monster can cause consternation to your opponent, since you gain an extra monster with its effects.
  • Unlike "Skiel" and "Wisel", other monsters can attack while this card is face-up on the field.

• In the anime, this is the only Machine Emperor whose ATK and DEF are not equal to the sum of the ATK and DEF of the "Wisel", "Skiel", and "Granel" Monsters that the player controls.

• The ATK/DEF gaining based on LP was changed from the anime and OCG: In the anime, this card gains ATK/DEF equal to your current LP while the OCG version gains ATK/DEF equal to half of your current LP.
  • This may be due to the fact that during a normal duel in the anime, players start with 4000 Life Points, while in the OCG/TCG, players start with 8000 Life Points.

• This is the first Meklord Emperor in the anime to be featured in the CGI style in which the Earthbound Immortal monsters were depicted, in contrast to "Wisel" and "Skiel" being shown in the traditional artwork style.

• The effect of this card that Special Summons Synchro Monsters equipped to it may possibly be derived from the effects of "Granel Guard" and "Granel Attack" in the anime, which both treat a Synchro Monster equipped to Granel as a monster for attacking or defending, though temporarily.
• This has been the only Meklord Emperor from the invasion to be stopped before eliminating its target, in this case Antinomy. However, it has been responsible for the most on-screen deaths in the invasion as it killed Aporia's parents and his love interest.
