- This card's name is a reference to how wrestlers often use the phrase "The Great" in their ring names, especially in the Japanese Pro-Wrestling, e.g. The Great Sasuke.
- Also, "Gouki" in Japanese translates as "Strong Ogre" or "Great Ogre", whereas "Great Ogre" is from them phonetically spelling out the English words "Great Ogre", effectively making his name "Great Ogre The Great Ogre".
- This monster appears in the artworks of "Gouki Cage Match", "Gouki Face Turn", and "Gouki Unity".
- This card and "Ningirsu the World Chalice Warrior" are the first Warrior Link Monsters.
- This card and "Topologic Bomber Dragon" are the first Link Monsters to have a full set of Bottom Link Arrows.
