"Forbidden" (
All the "Forbidden" cards focus on manipulating monsters' ATK points (or, in the case of "Forbidden Scripture", ignoring changes in ATK and DEF during battles) and card effects, either by granting monsters immunity or by negating their effects.
The woman featured in each card's artwork may represent Pandora of Greek mythology. She later appears as the Effect Monster "Condemned Maiden," implying that she was punished for using the four items as seen in "Solemn Advice." The artwork of "Forbidden Scripture" further hints that these items are truly owned by the old man featured in "Solemn Judgment" (identified as God in the trap's Japanese name). Ironically, "Condemned Maiden's" effect makes using Quick-Play Spell Cards like the "Forbidden" series very easy– but only one time per game. Despite the Greek theme and appearance of each of the cards' artwork, the inspiration behind the series appears to have come from the 4 most notable holy relics of Christianity:
| Forbidden Card | Origin |
|---|---|
| Forbidden Chalice | Holy Grail |
| Forbidden Dress | Seamless robe of Jesus |
| Forbidden Lance | Holy Lance (Longinus) |
| Forbidden Scripture | Holy Bible |
