* It's interesting to point out that when this card uses 3 new "[[Sea Emperor]]" monsters to Summon itself, its ATK and DEF becomes equal to the total ATK and DEF of those monsters. Two offensive "Sea Emperor", both with 1400 ATK, will total to 2800, and the last one, which is defensive, has 1600 DEF.

 +
* This card's original [[ATK]] (2800) is a combination of the 1400 ATK of "[[Atlantean Attack Squad]]" and "[[Atlantean Marksman]]", while its original [[DEF]] (1600) is based just on the 1600 DEF of "[[Atlantean Heavy Infantry]]", which are valid monsters to [[Tribute]] and [[Special Summon]] it.
 +
** Fittingly, this card and the last two mentioned monsters debuted in ''[[Structure Deck: Roar of the Sea Emperor]]''/''[[Realm of the Sea Emperor Structure Deck]]'', while "Attack Squad" was likely released as a teaser in the ''[[Return of the Duelist]]'' [[Core Booster]] pack two months prior.
