Konami has given an employee of the anime of Yu-Gi-Oh! a very special gift. It is a unique card that will never be available in stores.
Why is there this unique card? Hajime Syacho is a video producer for Yu-Gi-Oh!. He is about to experience one of the most important events in his life: his own wedding. To bring him great joy on the most beautiful day of his life, the team behind the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG came up with something special.
They designed their own card and gifted this unique piece to Syacho. The producer can hardly believe his luck and opens the gift in a video on YouTube. It becomes clear that the card is really not made for trading.

What kind of card is it? Konami used the card “Ritual Sanctuary” as the basis. It features a bride and groom standing in the spotlight. The bride’s train is held by two figures on the sides (visible on db.yugioh-card.com).
Konami redesigned the card slightly and adjusted the groom’s appearance to resemble Syacho. His wife is hidden behind a bridal bouquet but is still recognizable as a bride. The two train bearers are also included again.
In addition, this card cannot be used in a real duel. The card is much larger than a regular Yu-Gi-Oh! card and is appropriately framed.
You can watch the complete unboxing on the YouTube channel of the video producer:
What is so special about it? A card like the one Syacho received exists only once in the world. Normally, such special cards are only distributed as prizes for the best places in official card tournaments.
However, these cards are not as personal as the one that the video producer received. After all, you never know in advance who will win the tournament!
Did you know that a German player is to blame for there being a maximum number of cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments? The player was so excessive that the organizers had to change the rules: In Yu-Gi-Oh! you may only have 60 cards in your deck because a German player went overboard
