Little D

Little D was first introduced in the early years of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, initially appearing in the Metal Raiders expansion set. As a Level 3 Earth-attribute dinosaur monster, it represents the whimsical and often idiosyncratic creature designs favored by Kazuki Takahashi and the Konami design team during the game’s formative era, when the card pool was heavily focused on elemental types and straightforward beatdown mechanics.

The version included in Legendary Collection 4: Joey's World, released in 2013, serves as a reprint that consolidates iconic cards associated with the anime's competitive landscape. This collection was specifically curated to honor the deck themes of Joey Wheeler, framing the card within the nostalgic context of the original series while making classic, common-rarity monsters accessible to modern players through updated card formatting and standardized design conventions.
