This card was created to honor Yu-Gi-Oh! episode 224, which won poll.
This card's artwork is based on the moment in the anime where Gandora the Dragon of Destruction activated its effect, which was called Destroy Giga Rays in the original and Boundless Giga Rays in the dub.
This card could be considered Yugi's equivalent to Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, since they are all Dragon monsters that have variable ATK and are empowered by the Dragons in your Graveyard in some way(Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon both gain 300 ATK for each Dragon in your Graveyard, while this card gains effects for every version of itself in your Graveyard). However, Gandora Giga Rays gains 300 ATK for every card that's banished, not in your Graveyard.
Strangely enough, this card can be Teched into such a Deck, due to the Graveyard setup this card promotes, and the fact that banishing is a threat to the above monsters.
The archetypes of these monsters were also introduced by Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler, and Yugi Muto, respectively.
This card is the only Gandora monster that cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.
Coincidentally, this card as well as its counterparts are each subject to a different Summoning methods or restrictions for Effect Monsters; this card is Semi-Nomi, Gandora-X the Dragon of Demolition can be Normal Summoned or Special Summoned by any means, and Gandora the Dragon of Destruction cannot be Special Summoned.
The highest possible ATK from its effect would be 44,700; that is with 59 cards from the Main Deck, 60 cards from the opponent's Main Deck, and 15 Monsters from both players Extra Deck.
