Lists

Divine-Beast (Japanese: げんしんじゅう Genshinjū, "Phantom God Beast"), simply called God (Japanese: かみ Kami) in the manga, is a Type of Monster Card.

It debuted as the V Jump February 2009 promotional card in the OCG, and the Shonen Jump Vol. 8, Issue 1 promotional card in the TCG. While Divine-Beast monsters were printed as far back as in 2000 as promotional cards for the three separate versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist, they were unusable collector's cards that are officially considered Illegal.

Overview

The Divine-Beast Type is used exclusively for the Egyptian God Cards: "Slifer the Sky Dragon", "Obelisk the Tormentor", and "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (including their illegal original prints, as well as "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix"). As such, all Divine-Beast monsters possess the DIVINE Attribute.

Support cards for the Type deal with easing the Summon of the Egyptian Gods, as well as helping the player in protecting and strengthening them once they hit the field.

Appearance in media

In Yu-Gi-Oh! R, the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, and the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, the Wicked Gods, the Sacred Beasts, and the "Aesir", respectively, are also Divine-Beast-Type monsters, unlike their real-life counterparts.

The following characters use Divine-Beast monsters across the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
