Is There a Parallel Art Version of Imu OP13-079?
Yes, the official card list shows a parallel art version of OP13-079 with the same card number, stats and effect. Only the artwork differs. The list prints identical text for both, so the parallel is a collector choice, not a gameplay one.
The official Japanese product page also shows a variant image of OP13-079 in its World Government section. If you want every printing of the Imu Leader, plan for both the standard and the parallel version.
