TL note: The OCG name for this card is revealed with this reference art. It’s ミミグル・デーモン: The latter part being the usual “Daemon” that is localized as the Archfiend theme, and the first part being “Mimigul” (not quite the spelling for Ghoul).

It’s Archfiend’s hand-crafted artisanal items. You get the wrong idea when they say he’s ‘crafty’. But sadly, Etsy does not exist in his world.
Hold up why does a tcg exclusive have reference art written in Japanese? I’d always thought they were created exclusively by the TCG branch but maybe not
I can’t tell you if it’s always been the case or if it has been a global change since the “World Premiere” name swap; but yes, it seems World Premiere/TCG-Exclusive archetypes start their designing process in the OCG, names/concept/card effect/rulings and all. Hence why the term “World Premiere”.
If I remember correctly from concept art books, only one VRAINS/Rush-era has had concept art written with English indications: Dream Mirror. Kozmo is also a notorious archetype for having a English-speaking artist, so possibly designed in the TCG territories first as well.
just gave me an idea for a future card
Mimighoul Key-Ring
– Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 “Mimighoul” Flip Monster in your deck and set it in Face-Down Defense Position on your opponent’s side of the field. When this card’s effect resolves, flip 1 face-down monster on your opponent’s side of the field face up. You can only use the effect of “Mimighoul Key” once per turn.
(wording may vary)
Its so cute that it gets angry.
