Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands

Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands was originally introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game in 2005, serving as a staple support monster for Ritual-focused strategies. The card was designed to streamline gameplay by allowing players to search their deck for either a Ritual Monster or a Ritual Spell card, addressing the inherent resource difficulty of the Ritual Summoning mechanic. Its aesthetic reflects the iconography of Buddhist mythology, depicting a multi-armed deity consistent with the traditional representation of Kannon, the Bodhisattva of compassion.

This particular iteration, numbered HISU-EN047, was released in the 2018 Hidden Summoners booster set. This set was notable for introducing new archetypes like Prank-Kids and Mayakashi while simultaneously providing reprints of essential utility cards to support both new and legacy players. As a Super Rare card in this set, it maintains the classic functional design favored by competitive players who rely on its consistency-boosting effects to maintain a stable hand throughout a duel.
