Palafin ex
イルカマンex · Irukaman ex Superdofin-ex in French
The Irukaman ex card, Palafin ex in English, was released in Japan on 6 December 2024 in the High Class Pack Terastal Festival ex (テラスタルフェスex), then internationally on 17 January 2025 in the Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions set, as number 151/131. Hara said he struggled to reconcile the spirit of Pokémon with his own style, and redrew the illustration several times, ending up with these afterimage fists reminiscent of the Hyakuretsu Ken. A giant poster stood at the entrance of MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 from 2 to 8 December 2024, the original was exhibited at the Pokémon Card Station of the Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo from 6 December 2024 to 5 January 2025, and the February 2025 issue of Comic Zenon ran a long interview along with a clear file.
