Card Trivia

 Marauding Captain and Gagagigo appear in this card's artwork.
The former is protecting the latter from the attack of Blazing Inpachi, as continued from Two-Man Cell Battle.
This is one of the few Spell Cards that can negate the activation of your opponent's card(s) and destroy them.
This card's artwork is likely inspired by the scene in , where Dark Yugi protects Jonouchi and Mai from the attack of The Winged Dragon of Ra.
This is supported by the fact both defenders have their right eyes closed, and that the protected are shielding their own gazes using their left arms.
