Card Trivia:Dark Magician


 * The alternate-art "red" Dark Magician used by Arkana in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga may be seen here. Despite having the same name, it is not the same card as the "purple" Dark Magician always used by Yugi Mutou, as it has a different eight-digit passcode.


 * Dark Magician Girl is known to be apprentice of the Dark Magician.


 * This card is featured on the artwork of the following cards:
 * TCG "Exchange"
 * "Spell Absorption"
 * "Dark Magic Attack"
 * "Dimension Explosion"
 * "Magician's Selection"


 * In some GBA and DS Yu-Gi-Oh games, it is possible to have six Dark Magician's in your Deck as it doesn't recognize alternate art cards as being the same.


 * This is most likely the single most supported card of all.


 * On the french "Thousand Knives" (and in the French version of the show), this card is called "Magicien des Ténèbres" although its real name is "Magicien Sombre".


 * The Bandai version of Dark Magician has 2000 DEF, whereas the real card has 2100 DEF.


 * Each artwork of "Dark Magician" (except the Arkana version) appears on the manga when Yugi summons it.
 * "Hand on the hat" version (SDY) appears in the 8th Tome (Duelist Volume 1 : Duelist Kingdom).
 * "Stands straight" version (LOB/SYE) appears in the 11th Tome (Duelist Volume 4 : Dungeon of Doom)
 * "Giant rock" version (SD6/PCY) appears in the 19th Tome (Duelist Volume 12 : Magician vs. Magician)
