Exodia the Forbidden One (card code DB1-EN139, often misidentified as DB1-EN137 which is the Right Arm) is an Ultra Rare Effect Monster from the Dark Beginning 1 set in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. Depicted as the reassembled, towering entity of dark magic, this Level 3 DARK Spellcaster possesses 1000 ATK and 1000 DEF. It serves as the final, crucial piece of the iconic five-part set; if a player holds this card along with the Right Arm, Left Arm, Right Leg, and Left Leg in their hand, they immediately win the Duel, bypassing all other game mechanics.

The card's effect is a unique "Condition" type, reading: "If you have 'Right Leg of the Forbidden One', 'Left Leg of the Forbidden One', 'Right Arm of the Forbidden One' and 'Left Arm of the Forbidden One' in addition to this card in your hand, you win the Duel." This mechanic makes it the most famous instant-win condition in the game's history, driving entire deck archetypes focused on drawing, searching, and milling to assemble the pieces as quickly as possible. The flavor text and artwork emphasize its status as a sealed, forbidden power that grants infinite knowledge and strength to whoever breaks the seal.

Released in October 2004 as part of Dark Beginning 1, this specific printing is a reprint of the original Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon card, making it more accessible to players during that era. As the head of the Exodia set, DB1-EN139 remains a highly sought-after collectible and a staple of nostalgic Exodia decks in formats like Commander (Edison) and casual play.
