>>10248383Ah I always assumed they copied the art from the manga. I haven't read through the manga yet so I should have checked.
>>10260166The manga came first, then the anime, then the cards and card game based off the manga/anime. Pic related is what the original artwork looked like in the manga. I'm not sure when the first released card came out though.
Either way, fee or not feet, love how Slifer looks (in terms of design). He's my favorite of the 3, even though I really like all 3.
