Release information

This card was included in the Base Set expansion with artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was later released as an Item card with an updated effect in the Dragons Exalted expansion, first released in the Japanese Dragon Blade expansion, with new artwork by Ryo Ueda. The Japanese print was later reprinted as one of the BW-P Promotional cards, one of four cards included as inserts with the January 2013 issue of V Jump magazine, released on November 21, 2012. This print also has the V Jump logo in the bottom left corner.

It was reprinted again with new artwork by Toyste Beach in the Fates Collide expansion, first released in the Japanese Awakening Psychic King expansion. It was reprinted as a retro card in the English Evolutions expansion, originating from the Japanese Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary subset, featuring the same artwork as the original print and an updated card template reminiscent of the Original Series layout.
