Card Appearances:Dark Magician Girl

Battle City/Virtual World Arcs

 * In episode 62, Yami Yugi plays this card against Arkana. He Special Summons it via the effect of Arkana's "Dark Magic Curtain", while Arkana Summons "Dark Magician". "Dark Magician Girl" then gained 600 ATK due to the presence of the two "Dark Magicians" already in the Graveyard. Unaware of this, Arkana attacks and his "Dark Magician" is destroyed. "Dark Magician Girl" then attacks directly the next turn, winning Yugi the duel.


 * In episode 66, Yugi plays this card against Strings. He Tributes his "Kuriboh" to Summon it. This however activates "Slifer"'s second mouth ability which would have destroyed this card as it had less than 2000 DEF, but Yugi quickly uses "Magical Hats" to protect his monster. When "Slifer" was about to destroy the hat this card was under, Yugi uses a combo with "Magic Cylinder" and "Spellbinding Circle" to save this card and destroy "Slifer the Sky Dragon", but Strings thwarts this by redirecting the target of "Magic Cylinder" to "Revival Jam" using "Jam Defender. "Slifer" destroys "Dark Magician Girl" on the next turn.


 * In episode 82, Yugi plays this card against Yami Bakura. He Tributes "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" to Summon it. He equips it with "Magic Formula" and destroys Bakura's "Dark Necrofear". However, this lets Bakura play "Dark Sanctuary". In the next episode, "Dark Magician Girl" was later targeted by the effect of "Dark Sanctuary". When Yugi attacks Yami Bakura directly with this card, "Dark Sanctuary"'s effect negated the attack and inflicted damage to Yugi equal to half of this card's attack points while Yami Bakura gained the same amount. A little later when Yugi attacked Yami Bakura directly with "Gamma the Magnet Warrior", Yami Bakura used "Dark Spirit of the Silent" to negate the attack and force this card to attack him directly. Because this card was again the target of "Dark Sanctuary", the attack was negated and Yugi took damage equal to half of this card's ATK while Yami Bakura gained the same amount. In the following episode, Yugi Tributes "Dark Magician Girl", "Gamma The Magnet Warrior" and "Big Shield Gardna" to Summon "Slifer the Sky Dragon".


 * In episodes 102 and 103, Téa Gardner uses this card as her Deck Master against Crump. On the third to last turn of the duel, Téa moves this monster to the field. On the last turn of the duel, she uses "Sage's Stone" to Summon "Dark Magician" from the Deck of Yugi, which destroyed Crump's "Defender Iceberg". "Dark Magician Girl" then attacks Crump directly, winning Téa the duel.


 * In episode 108, this card can be seen as Seto Kaiba is constructing his Virtual World Deck, though he does not select it.


 * In episode 112, Yugi plays this card against The Big Five while teaming with Joey Wheeler. He Tributes "Big Shield Gardna" to Summon it. It attacks them directly shortly after. It is destroyed via the effect of "Mythic Dragon" when The Big Five Summon it by Tributing their Deck Masters via "Dragon Revival Ritual" in the next episode.


 * In episode 118, Yugi plays this card against Noah Kaiba. He Tributes "Alpha The Magnet Warrior" to summon this card. Since there is a "Dark Magician" in Yugi's Graveyard, this card gains 300 ATK due to its effect. This card then attacks Noah directly, though because of his huge amount of Life Points he barely felt anything. Once Yugi got his "Dark Magician" out of the Graveyard via "Dark Renewal", this card lost the ATK boost from its effect. Yugi soon got out "Magician of Black Chaos". Yugi then attacks Noah directly with all three Magicians, but Noah activates "Chaos Barrier Field" to take control of this card and force "Magician of Black Chaos" to attack this card, destroying it. Due to the second effect of "Chaos Barrier Field", Yugi takes the Battle Damage that Noah would have taken. "Chaos Barrier Field" then ended the Battle Phase.


 * In episode 134, during Yugi and Kaiba's Battle City Finals Duel, this card can be seen when Yugi searches his Deck and begins to choose the cards he wishes to keep in his Deck via "Final Attack Orders".


 * In episode 140, Yugi plays this card against Yami Marik. He Tributes "Big Shield Garnda" to Summon it. She attacks Marik's "Bowganian", but Marik switches the target to "Egyptian God Slime" via "Jam Defender", causing the attack to backfire. In the next episode, this card's presence allows Yugi to activate "Magical Dimension", Tributing "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "Gazelle" to Summon "Dark Magician". In the following episode, he combines the powers of his monsters using "Ragnarok" to get rid of "The Winged Dragon of Ra". Marik then regained control of his body and surrendered the duel, winning Yugi the duel.
 * In the first former-mentioned episode, this card also appears in a flashback that Yami Yugi has when he remembers his Duel with Strings as well as "Revival Jam" which caused a great amount of problems for him in that Duel.


 * In episode 144, this card appears in a flashback Téa has when she remembers the gang seeing the God cards for the first time aboard the Battle Ship.

Waking the Dragons/KC Grand Prix Arcs

 * In episode 146, Yami Yugi plays this card against Gurimo. He Tributes "Queen's Knight" with "Magical Academy" to Summon it. Since Yugi had "Dark Magician" in his Graveyard, this card gained 300 ATK. "Magical Academy"'s other effect then increased this card's ATK by 500 and its Level by two. Using "Diffusion Wave-Motion", Yugi allows this card to attack every monster on Gurimo's Field. It destroys his "Bronze Knight Tokens", "Shield Tokens" and "Warrior Dai Grepher" (whose ATK was powered down due to the destruction of the "Bronze Knight Tokens") to win the duel.

He Tributes "Kuribabylon" to Summon it and then fuses it with "The Eye of Timaeus" via the latter's effect to Summon "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight".

He then immobilizes "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" with "Crystal Seal" when it attacks "Guardian Grarl" again. In the next episode, Yami activates "The Seal of Orichalcos", which was placed in his hand via the effect of Rafael's "Exchange". This destroys "Crystal Seal", but "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" was then destroyed and replaced with this card as "Timaeus" abandons Yami due to him using "The Seal of Orichalcos". This card then gains 500 ATK due to "The Seal of Orichalcos". This card later got 300 more ATK after Yami tributes "Dark Magician" for "Catapult Turtle"'s effect. Next turn he Tributes "Dark Magician Girl" using "Catapult Turtle"'s effect, but Rafael uses "Shrink" to decrease the game-ending damage he'd have taken by half. She is then removed from play via the effect of Rafael's "Guardian Eatos" along with four other monsters in Yami Yugi's Graveyard as part of Rafael's winning move.


 * This card can be seen during episode 159 when Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor are taken to vault within Doma's headquarters that contains copies of every card in existence at the time save the Legendary Dragons and the Egyptian Gods.


 * In episode 160, this card appears in one of two flashbacks Yami Yugi has when he remembers using this card for the effect of "Catapult Turtle" and when he saw that his own monsters were angry at him for his selfish actions before he lost his Duel with Rafael.


 * In episode 162, Yami draws this card via the effect of "Berserker Soul" during his duel with Weevil. This stops him from attacking again with "Breaker the Magical Warrior", as he remembers the promise he made to her. The card was mistakenly shown as a Level 5 monster in this instance in the Japanese version, but in the US version, this card was correctly shown as a Level 6 monster.


 * In episode 163, Yugi plays this card against Yami. He Special Summons it using "Monster Reborn" after having discarded it via "Card Destruction". This card then gains 500 ATK due to "The Seal of Orichalcos". It then destroys Yami's "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast". Next turn, Yugi equips this card with "Magic Formula" to increase her ATK by 500. Yugi then had this card destroy "Big Shield Gardna". He later Tributes it with "Catapult Turtle"'s effect to finish Yami off, but Yami uses "Divine Wind" to redirect the damage to Yugi and double it, winning Yami the duel. By doing this, Yami was able to conquer the darkness in his heart and regain control of his emotions.
 * In the same episode, Ironheart picks this card up from the ground after Yami Yugi drops it while being flung from the train after dueling Weevil.
 * This card also appeared in Yami Yugi's hand during the above-mentioned Duel between Yugi and Yami, however the latter was forced to discard this card because of "Card Destruction".
 * This card also appears in a flashback that Yami Yugi has when he remembers the strategy he used against Rafael that was not only ruthless but also selfish.

 * In episode 175, Yami plays this card against Rafael, Tributing "Watapon" to Summon it. Rafael switches this card to Attack Position using "Obedience". He then attacks it with his "Guardian Dreadscythe". Yami activates "Magical Pigeon", returning this card to his hand and Special Summoning two "Pigeon Tokens". Once Rafael ended his turn, she is returned to the Field and the "Pigeon Tokens" are destroyed. This card is then destroyed by Yami's own "Underworld Circle". In the next episode, Yami Yugi revives it with "Underworld Circle"'s effect. Next he plays "Altar of Restoration" to take back "The Eye of Timaeus". He then combines this card with "Timaeus" once more to summon "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight". Yami then used it to attack "Dreadscythe", discarding a card to destroy "Dreadscythe" without applying Damage Calculation. Rafael then prevented his monster's destruction by discarding a card from his hand. Later its effects are negated when Rafael plays "Orichalcos Sword of Sealing". It is then destroyed by "Dreadscythe", with Yami saving his Life Points via "Reduction Barrier".


 * In episode 181, Yami plays this card against Dartz. He Summons it via "Relay Soul", allowing him to stay in the duel even with zero Life Points as long as she remains on the Field.

In the next episode, it is forced to attack via the effect of "Golden Castle of Stromberg". The second effect of the latter card then destroys this card and inflicts damage to Yugi equal to half of this card's attack points. When Leon's "Forest Wolf" attacks Yugi directly, Yugi activates "Dark Magic Retribution" to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard and intercept the attack, destroying "Forest Wolf".

Dimitri switches this card into Defense Position next turn. Jaden then destroys this card with "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman.

On Dark Magician Girl's next turn, she equips this card with "Magic Formula", increasing its ATK by 700. She then has this card attack "Flame Wingman", but Jaden then activates "Staunch Defender" to make Dark Magician Girl attack with all her monsters. He then activates "Hero Barrier" to negate this card's attack. "Staunch Defender"'s effect then forces the "Valkyrias" to attack "Flame Wingman", resulting in their destruction.

She then destroys Jaden's "Elemental Hero Bladedge" since the latter was equipped with the "Archfiend of Gilfer" that Yugi had sent to the Graveyard via Jaden's "Impact Flip". "Elemental HERO Magma Neos" powered up by "Neo Space" and its own effect later attacks this card, but Yugi activates "Magic Cylinder" to negate the attack and inflict damage to Yugi equal to the ATK of "Magma Neos", however Yugi activates "Contact Out" to defuse "Magma Neos" back into its separate parts, causing the effect of "Magic Cylinder" to be negated since it lost its original target. Jaden then attacks her with "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman", but Yami Yugi at this point takes over the duel. He then uses "Dark Renewal" to Tribute "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" and this card to summon a Spellcaster-type monster from the Graveyard. Yami Yugi then uses the effect of the "Code Change" sealed within "Mystical Refpanel" to change the typing on "Dark Renewal" from "Spellcaster" to Divine-Beast". This in turn enables Yami Yugi to Summon out "Slifer the Sky Dragon" via "Dark Renewal".
