• This card's TCG name is derived from Suijin (水神), the Shinto god of water in Japanese mythology.

• The kanji on this monster's body (水) translates to "water", reflecting this card's WATER Attribute and Aqua Type.

• This card is one of the components of "Gate Guardian" which makes up the abdomen and legs.
  • It is the second largest piece of "Gate Guardian", with this card's ATK being exactly 100 less than "Sanga of the Thunder" and 100 more than "Kazejin".

• The Bandai version of this card is a Level 6 "Black Magic" monster (which can be considered a DARK Spellcaster), whereas the Konami version is Level 7 and a WATER/Aqua monster.

• This card has the most design variations of all the pieces.
  • The one used in various video games and on the card itself depicts it as a disembodied head and spindly arms covered by a purple cloak.
  • In the GX anime and depictions of "Gate Guardian" shows a pair of monstrous blue legs and a pelvis, with its head placed on the crotch area.
  • In the Duel Links Summon animation for "Gate Guardian", the legs were arms until it fused into "Gate Guardian".
  • In GX and Duel Links, its head was more light blue when compared to the body. In all other depictions, it is the same color as the legs.
  • In the artworks for "Gate Guardian of Wind and Water", "Gate Guardian of Water and Thunder", and "Gate Guardians Combined", this monster's head is depicted a lot bigger than it was in previous depictions.
