Card Appearances:Dark Magician Girl

Battle City/Virtual World Arcs

 * In the anime, Dark Magician Girl first appeared when the Pharoah was facing Arkana. Arkana had just summoned his second Dark Magician onto the field via Dark Magic Curtain and Yami gave up half of his Life Points for him to be able to summon Dark Magician Girl (Note: the real version of this card can only be used to summon Dark Magician and can only be used by the controller of the card). Her original ATK is only 2000 and at this point, Arkana's Dark Magician had 2500 ATK, so he chose to attack with his Dark Magician, unaware of her special ability. Arkana's Dark Magician was destroyedfor she had 2600 ATK, and Yugi took his turn to attack directly with Dark Magician Girl, ending the duel.
 * She was next summoned when Strings, controlled by Marik, had summoned Slifer the Sky Dragon and stopped the Pharaoh from attacking for two turns with Nightmare's Steelcage. The Pharaoh sacrificed Kuriboh to summon her then played the Magical Hats to hide her. He also placed Magic Cylinder and Spellbinding Circle under the hats. Slifer the Sky Dragon attacked the hat she was in but it was revealed that he could hide Trap Cards under the same hat the monster was in. Magic Cylinder absorbed the attack and Spellbinding Circle weakened Slifer. However, on the next turn Slifer the Sky Dragon attacked Dark Magician Girl, destroying her.
 * The Pharaoh sacrificed his Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts to summon this card during his duel with Yami Bakura in the Battle city semi-finals and immediately equipped her with Magic Formula, raising her ATK by 500 to 2500, and he then had her attack, destroying Dark Necrofear. The Pharaoh attacks with Gamma The Magnet Warrior, but Bakura activated Dark Spirit of the Silent which changed the attacking monster to Dark Magician Girl, activating the Evil Ghost again costing the Pharaoh more Life Points. One turn later, Yugi sacrificed her alongside Gamma The Magnet Warrior and Big Shield Gardna to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon.
 * After passing out from being kidnapped by Hitotsu-Me Giants in the virtual world, Téa Gardner dreamed of a Broadway play about the Dark Magician Girl and Yugi telling her she would need her. As a result, she chose the card as her Deck Master throughout her duel with Crump. Near the end of the duel, Téa moved Dark Magician Girl into play after she ran out of other monsters, and she activated her Deck Master Ability, removing all four monsters in Téa's graveyard from play so Tea could draw the same number of cards from her deck. This allowed Tea to draw Sage's Stone which allowed Tea to Special Summon Dark Magician from Yugi's deck. After Dark Magician leveled the Defender Iceberg protecting Crump, Dark Magician Girl attacked directly, ending the duel.
 * Yugi briefly summons Dark Magician Girl by sacrificing Big Shield Gardna to attack The Big Five directly, inflicting 2000 points of damage. It was later destroyed by the effect Five-Headed Dragon being summoned.
 * This card was briefly seen when Seto Kaiba was building his Virtual World deck before his duel with Lector, though he did not select it.
 * Yugi summoned this card in the duel against Noah that he took over from Kaiba by sacrificing Alpha The Magnet Warrior. It attacked Noah alongside Dark Magician and Magician of Black Chaos, but Noah activated Chaos Barrier Field, redirecting Magician of Black Chaos' attack towards Dark Magician Girl and destroying her.
 * Yugi sacrificed Big Shield Gardna to summon Dark Magician Girl against Marik in the final duel of the Battle City tournament. He had her attack Bowganian, but Marik activated Jam Defender to redirect the attack to Egyptian God Slime. Later, Dark Magician Girl was used to activate Magical Dimension and Ragnarok.

As a result, this card destroyed the tokens created from Shield Wall and Bronze Knight, as well as the monster Warrior Dai Grepher, winning Yugi the duel.
 * It was this monster that greeted Yugi and Yami when they entered the Dominion of the Beasts, and she was the one that explained the relationship that the monsters in the realm had with the human world, as well as the approaching threat of Leviathan.

Later, the Dark Magician Girl is among the monsters that are absorbed by Celestial Sword - Eatos.
 * Later, during his duel with Weevil Underwood, Yugi drew this card from the effect of Berserker Soul, but decided not to attack Weevil again with Breaker the Magical Warrior, remembering his promise to her.
 * When Yami Yugi dueled the "ghost" of Yugi to release the darkness inside of him, Yugi used Monster Reborn to Special Summon this card after he had discarded her with Card Destruction.

Rafael forced it into Attack Position with Obedience and attacked with Guardian Dreadscythe, but Yami returned it to his hand with Magical Pigeon, and it was re-summoned during Yami's End Phase. It was then sent to the Graveyard by the the effect of Underworld Circle, but Yami later resurrected it with the second effect of the same card. He then fused her with The Eye of Timaeus to form Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight.
 * In his and Kaiba's duel against Dartz, Yami Special Summoned this card with Relay Soul, allowing him to stay in the game as long as she remains on the field. Dartz attempted to attack it with Divine Serpent, but failed due to the combined effects of The Claw of Hermos and Obnoxious Celtic Guard.
 * Dark Magician Girl lead an army of Duel Monsters from the Dominion of the Beasts to fight the Great Leviathan after Dartz summoned it. The Monsters had little success. After the Pharoh defeats it she said she would always be in his deck if he needed her.
