Talk:Dark Magician

From Yu-Gi-Oh!

There have only been three different pictures of Dark Magician released. These are:

The "attack position" Dark Magician (BPT-001, DDS-002, SDY-006, SDY-E005)...

The "defense position" Dark Magician (BPT-007, FL1-EN002, LOB-005, LOB-E003, LOB-EN005, SYE-001)...

and the "tablet" Dark Magician (DB1-EN102, PCY-E004, SD6-EN003)...

Although Arkana's "red" Dark Magician, released in Japan's Premium Pack 4, has the same name as the above cards, it has a different eight-digit passcode. Because of this, this alternate-artwork card does not count as a different picture for this Dark Magician, although they are referenced to each other, with the P4-02 Dark Magician listed as "Dark Magician (Arkana)".

Please leave the artwork count alone, at least until Konami or UDE really do come out with another artwork!

I'm afraid you are wrong! In Japan, there is a super-rare edition-- Well, I'll show you the ultimate combo of Dark Magician

First, You must have "Dark Magician" on your field. Then, you must have Dark Magician of Chaos, DMOC for short. Next, you must have "Dedication Through Light and Darkness," "Premature Burial," "Dark Magician Girl," and "Tribute to the Doomed" in your hand.

1 Activate your dedication through light and darkness. 2 summon DMOC! 3 this is a bonus! by activating DMOC's effect, take 1 spell card from your graveyard! 4 activate tribute to the doomed to destroy one od opponent's monsters by throwing away your Dark Magician Girl. 5 activate Premature Burial, and then you have your Darc Magician Girl with the attack of 2300 points!

[edit] Arabic Name Dilemma (فارس vs. ساحر)

Apparently, some users insist on changing Dark Magician's Arabic name from (فارس الظلام) "Darkness Knight" to (ساحر الظلام) "Darkness Magician" while I insist on keeping it. Because of this I thought I should ask, should the Arabic name be the one used in the Arabic Anime dub (Darkness Knight), or a translation of the English name (Darkness Magician)? -- Melik el-Al'ab 12:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Use the Arabic anime name. Official names get priority over translations from other languages. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:01, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Color scheme

I like the artwork for the 'tablet' artwork of Dark Magician, but I think that someone should photoshop it so that it has the same color scheme as the original Dark Magician (i.e, purple). Same sort of deal with DMG. Skulls 05:29, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The "tablet" artwork IS the original colour scheme, from the manga. The Duel Monsters anime randomly changed his colour scheme to that purple one, and that single card artwork is pretty much the ONLY time it appears outside of the anime. And no idea what you mean about the Magician Girl, since she's always had the same colour scheme as far as I know. Black Magician 23:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Current Contradiction

Though "Dark Magician" states that it is the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense somebody at the yugioh card factory forgot it, because currently the best Spellcaster-type card is Endymion-The Master Magician
