Changes: Card Trivia:Harpie Lady

Revision as of 01:53, 6 April 2019

The TCG name is in fact a mistranslation because "Harpy" is singular while "Harpies" is plural.
In the earlier episodes of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, this card's name was "Harpie's Lady".

This monster appears in the artworks of "Summoning Clock" and "Elegant Egotist", while its eyes appear in the artwork of "Shadow of Eyes".

In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, harpies are a female monster in the form of a bird with a human face. They steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers.

Interestingly, unlike the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, this monster's appearance was censored even in the Japanese version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.

This card's first TCG printing was uncensored, just like the Japanese artwork. This was fixed in later TCG reprints.

This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Duel 10: "The Siren", specifically from the panel where this monster is Summoned.

Curiously, this card and the anime version of Harpie Lady Sisters (anime) are the only members of Harpie to have blue skin, with the rest having human skin tone.

This card has two retrained counterparts, “Harpie Lady 1” and “Cyber Harpie Lady”, the latter basically being this exact monster equipped with “Cyber Shield”.

Along with other protagonist and rival cards like “Dark Magician”, “Blue-Eyes White Dragon”, “Red-Eyes B. Dragon” and “Dark Magician Girl”, this card is often considered to be one of the most iconic monsters of the entire franchise.
