\"Yu-Gi-Oh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, a Yu-Gi-Oh TCG card’s illustration reveals something about the Yu-Gi-Oh universe’s lore which is otherwise not explicitly stated anywhere in canonical material. That’s exactly the case with this alternate art Raigeki card from the Quarter Century Chronicle side:Unity booster pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spell card was first released all the way back in 1999 as part of the Japanese-only Starter Box, the first Starter Deck to ever have been launched. That card’s illustration featured a lightning bolt raining down from a dark sky\u2014and no more than that. For most players and collectors, no further thought was given to the card’s illustration\u2014until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release of the Quarter Century Chronicle side:Unity booster pack saw Raigeki’s first-ever alternate art card after 25 years\u2014and what it revealed blew minds. This card is linked to the Slifer the Sky Dragon card<\/a> because the illustration shows that it is indeed the Sky Dragon itself unleashing the Raigeki spell. It’s also implied that Raigeki is a variant of Slifer’s Thunderforce Attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its unique position as it relates to the lore of Yu-Gi-Oh, this card is also expected to see a reasonable degree of use in tournament player. Thus, serious players will be almost as likely to seek out this card as collectors will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Quarter Century Chronicle side:Unity booster pack hasn’t been slated for an English release, this card thus hasn’t either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quarter Century Secret Rare Raigeki (QCCU-JP194) card with alternate art has a retail price of \u00a512,000 (~US$79).<\/p>\n\n\n
