Great Bill

The Great Bill card was released in the 2010 World Championship Card Pack, a commemorative set tied to the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship event held in Waikoloa, Hawaii. This set was curated to honor the competitive spirit of the tournament, featuring a selection of classic cards updated with special foil stamping to mark the occasion. These packs were primarily distributed to event participants and staff, making them a tangible piece of the game's competitive history during a pivotal era for organized play.

The design of Great Bill itself dates back to the early days of the original Duel Monsters era, representing a whimsical, creature-based design characteristic of the game's foundational sets. As a normal monster, its aesthetic leans into the nostalgic, fantasy-inspired artistry that defined the card game's introduction. The 2010 printing serves as a decorative preservation of that early design philosophy, stripping away the competitive meta-relevance of the era to focus on the preservation of the card's original, illustrated identity.
