Jump to: navigation, search
  • This card's Japanese name, "Ogre Frog" 「きガエル(kigaeru)」is a pun on the Japanese kanji "鬼", normally read as "oni" which is associated with demons, referencing this monster's appearance which features red devil horns in its design.
    • Also, this card's Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese term which means "to change one's clothes". This is reflected in this card's TCG name and effects, as it will allow the player to "swap" one "Frog" monster on the field with another one in their hand.
  • This card is likely the antithesis to "Treeborn Frog", as both monsters' designs are based on the denizens of Heaven and Hell. This monster's design featuring red devil horns and its Japanese name are associated with demons, while "Treeborn Frog's" halo and angelic wings are associated with angels.
    • Also, both cards feature opposing effects, as this card can send an Aqua-Type monster to the Graveyard when it's summoned, while Treeborn Frog can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
