After this card's OCG release in February 1999, another card with the same Japanese name, "Chasm of Spikes", debuted in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 120 (Duelist Duel 61): "Heavy Metal Raiders". However, the card has a different effect, and was given a different Japanese name when it appeared in the anime; that card was ultimately released in the OCG in 2015 as "Trap Hole of Spikes", using the same Japanese name it did in the anime.
This card and "Fissure" were the first cards to ever debut in the OCG without appearing in another medium first.
