Obelisk the Tormentor

Obelisk the Tormentor originated as one of the three Egyptian God cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, designed by Kazuki Takahashi as central plot devices within the original manga series. This specific printing, identified as JMPS-EN004, was released as a promotional item in the 2017 Weekly Shonen Jump Spring Pack. These promotional cards were intended to provide collectors and players with high-rarity versions of iconic monsters that were previously difficult to acquire or held significant narrative weight within the series lore.

The card's design features the classic artwork of the divine beast, rendered in an ultra-rare foil finish consistent with Shonen Jump promotional standards of the era. The aesthetic leans heavily into the imposing, armored silhouette of the creature, emphasizing its status as an apex entity in the game. Upon release, the card was well-received by fans of the original series who sought an authentic, tournament-legal version of the character that maintained the prestige associated with the Egyptian God card archetype.
