Ultimate Insect LV1

Ultimate Insect LV1 was first released in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game as part of the Dark Revelation Volume 3 expansion, which arrived in North American markets in 2006. This set functioned as a reprint compilation, gathering cards that had previously appeared in booster sets like Rise of Destiny and Flaming Eternity, making them more accessible to the player base during a period of high growth for the game.

The card belongs to a thematic series of Insect-type monsters designed around a 'level up' mechanic, which allowed players to evolve their monsters on the field to gain increasingly powerful effects. The aesthetic, featuring detailed, armored insectoid designs, was created by the original artists at Konami. While LV1 serves as the humble starting point for this evolutionary chain, the set itself remains a staple for collectors interested in the classic mid-2000s era of card design and the mechanics that defined its competitive landscape.
