Another wonderful more recent trend in the franchise is this meticulously detailed watercolor-ish style, and we are very here for it. It lends such a subtlety that’s ironically causes cards to stand out amongst the far larger, bolder designs cards more usually receive.

Pani Kobayashi’s distinct style has appeared sporadically for a few years, but until more recently was too often hidden in the smaller images on standard cards. The gorgeous work was finally allowed to shine with Crown Zenith’s enormously collectible Darkrai VSTAR, and now offers one of the stand-out cards of Japan’s Scarlet ex set.
