Valkyrie


 * Valkyre redirects here. For the card which has the Japanese name translated Valkyre, see Dark Witch.

The Valkyries are a group of anime-only cards used by Zigfried von Schroeder. They are identified by having Walkure (ワルキューレ), the German word for "Valkyrie" in their Japanese names. The concept of the Valkyries is derived from Norse mythology. Like most of Zigfried's cards the Valkyries are named after characters from the opera, Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Valkyrie card's effects slightly vary, but usually revolve around Special Summoning the Valkyries, removing opposing monsters and increasing their ATK.

The cards "Element Valkyrie" and "Cyber Valkyrie" are not considered Valkyrie cards since they don't have 「ワルキューレ」 in their Japanese names.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX dub, "Valkyrie Dritte" can be seen in T-Bone's hand. Different cards are shown in the original (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX) version.

The names of the Valkyries, "Erste", "Zwei", and "Dritte" are German for "first", "two" and "third".
