Card Trivia:Puppet Rook
- This monster is based on a rook, a chess piece resembling a tower castle.
- This monster's OCG/TCG effect to Special Summon a Level 6 or higher EARTH Warrior monster from the Graveyard by sending itself there references the castling move in the game of chess where both a rook and the king are moved simultaneously. Fittingly, "Puppet King" is a valid target for this monster's effect.
- This monster's OCG/TCG effect to change itself to Defense Position when Normal Summoned is based on its appearance in Yu-Gi-Oh! R Duel Round 19: "Jonouchi... Helpless?!", where Reiko Kitamori Normal Summoned this monster in Defense Position.
- This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from the aforementioned chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga, specifically from the panel showing this monster being Summoned.
