Cyber Angel Benten

Cyber Angel Benten was originally introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game in the 2006 set Shadow of Infinity. As a core component of the Cyber Angel archetype, the monster draws thematic inspiration from Buddhist mythology, reimagined through the lens of early 2000s Japanese fantasy aesthetic. The card gained significant notoriety in the competitive scene due to its powerful search effect, which allows players to cycle through their deck for high-level Fairy monsters whenever it is tributed.

The Lost Art Promotion version, designated LART-EN049, was released by Konami as part of an initiative to provide Western players with the original, uncensored artwork that had previously been exclusive to Japanese releases. This specific print features the aesthetic adjustments intended to align with the series' global art direction while maintaining the recognizable character design. These promotional cards were distributed through authorized hobby stores, rewarding players for their participation in local events and serving as a collectible bridge between international territories.
