Card Trivia:The Phantom Knights of Shade Brigandine
- This monster is based on brigandine, a form of body armor made of iron rings or plates.
- This card and "The Phantom Knights of Tomb Shield" are the first Trap Monsters that can Special Summon themselves directly from the Spell & Trap Zone as monsters upon activation, but do not treat themselves as Trap Cards. This is closer in design to the previous mechanic of Trap Monsters, as opposed to having to be sent to the Graveyard first.
- This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Scale 2: "Yuto vs. Sawatari!", specifically from the panel showing this Trap Monster being Summoned.
