- English: A huge carnivore, it is bigger than the Tyrannosaurus. Its head alone could be 180cm long.
- Taiwanese: 超越暴龍的大型肉食恐龍,光是頭部就有180公分。
- Along with Maiasaura, Triceratops, Suchomimus, Ankylosaurus, and Allosaurus, it is one of the dinosaurs available in the Japanese Triple Slash Card set.
- Along with Tyrannosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Torvosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Alioramus, and Yangchuanosaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Fire Egg card.
- Giganotosaurus was one of several theropods (many of which are carcharodontosaurids) that were larger than Tyrannosaurus.
- Giganotosaurus was the only theropod bigger than T. rex from Dinosaur King not to feature in the anime.
- In the arcade game, this is one of the default dinosaurs used in 2-player battles.
