- This card was primarily included in Warrior Toolbox Decks, because it was immune to "Snatch Steal".
- Joey tells the story of "Gearfried the Swordmaster", in one of his duels. According to his story, Gearfried's power was so great, that merely holding a weapon resulted in the widescale devastation of entire battlefields. Fearful of his own might, he sealed himself in a suit of iron armor to limit his power. This "devastation" effect can been seen in "Gearfried the Swordmaster"'s ability to instantly destroy a monster when equipped.
- Like Joey Wheeler said in the anime, this monster is in fact a powerful warrior that was sealed into an armor in order to reduce his power. But, it can be released by "Release Restraint".
- This card has a third form called "Phoenix Gearfried".
- This card appears on "Dimension Explosion".
