- If an "Inzektor Dragonfly" equipped with "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" is destroyed in battle by an opponent's monster or by the effect of "Raigeki Break", it is not considered that "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" was equipped to a monster when sent from the field to theGraveyard, so its effect cannot be activated.[2]
- In the case in which "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" is equipped to "Inzektor Dragonfly" and both are destroyed simultaneously by the effect of "Black Rose Dragon", the effect of "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" can be activated. However, the effect of "Inzektor Dragonfly" cannot be activated.[3]

- If "Relinquished" equips "Inzektor Giga-Mantis", the effect of "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" is not applied and the end result is that the ATK becomes 2400. Also, if the "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" equipped to "Relinquished" is sent to the Graveyard, its Special Summoning effect activates. Furthermore, if "Destiny Hero - Plasma" equips "Inzektor Giga-Mantis", the effect of "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" is applied first making the Original ATK of "Destiny Hero - Plasma" 2400, and then the ATK of "Destiny Hero - Plasma" is increased by half the ATK of the equipped monster by its own effect, for a total of 3600.[5]
- If the "Inzektor" monster to which "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" is equipped to switches control to the opponent's side of the field, "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" is not destroyed and remains equipped. Also, if "Enemy Controller" is activated in a chain to the effect of "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" so that the target monster switches control to the opponent's side of the field, "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" cannot be equipped and is sent from the hand to the Graveyard.[6]
