Gagaga Girl – #DUAD-EN101
You can target 1 “Gagaga Magician” you control; this card’s Level becomes the Level of that monster. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using only this card and other “Gagaga” monsters as Xyz Material gains this effect.

Hello Pojo Fans,
Gagaga Girl is the shortest named card this week that we’re reviewing and is our Throwback Thursday choice in this week of archetypes that combine to Xyz Summon.
The sidekick to Gagaga Magician, Gagaga Girl doesn’t help any of the archetypes that can be involved with her Xyz Monster version of herself. Instead, she is strictly a Gagaga archetype helper. Able to join forces with Gagaga Magician and become the same Level he is, and with him able to change his Level, those two are any Rank monster from 1-8 that you choose when on the field together.
I guess it would have been a bit much if she would have an extension effect that allowed her to Special Summon herself when Gagaga Magician is on the field, I guess if Dark Magician Girl can’t do that with Dark Magician neither can Gagaga Girl with Gagaga Magician. Gagaga Head can Special Summon both Magician and Girl though from the grave off its Normal Summon, and Gagaga Wind can Special Summon any Gagaga monster from the hand as a Level 4 monster.
When you do Xyz Summon using Gagaga Girl, you want to use only Gagaga monster for the Xyz Summon, so that Gagaga Girl can give the Xyz Monster the ability to drop an opponent’s Special Summoned monster’s ATK to 0 of its Xyz Summon. Gagagaga Girl doesn’t need only Gagaga monsters to be a good Xyz monster, but if you want that added bonus of at the very least eating up a negation, you’ll want to use only Gagaga monsters. Onomatokage is a great option as it is considered several types of cards, including Gagaga, and can be Special Summoned if you control one on the field. Gagagacoat is also up there with Onomatokage for making an easy Xyz Summon using only Gagaga monsters. With the ability to drop the opponent’s Special Summoned monster’s ATK to 0 off the Xyz Summon you make, summoning Gagagaga Magician and using its effect to boost itself to 4000ATK would mean a potential OTK for your opponent, and, at the very least, half their LP gone. If you don’t care about the ATK drop though, Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl are a pair to make any Xyz 1-8 that you want.
An extension effect would enable the Xyz Summoning using Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl far easier and boost the effectiveness of her ability she gives the Xyz she’s part of. There’s still a good amount of ways to spam the board with Gagaga monsters and those that imitate them, so getting that ATK drop ability is viable.
Advanced- 2/5
Art- 4/5

Throwback Thursday this week brings us the original to yesterday’s card as she gets a new alternate artwork, Gagaga Girl.
Gagaga Girl is a Level 3 DARK Spellcaster with 1000 ATK and 800 DEF. Stats aren’t too impressive, but at least she is a DARK Spellcaster. First effect lets you target a Gagaga Magician you control to have her copy that monster’s Level, which is nice when Gagaga Magician can be anywhere from Level 1 to 8 with his effect, but being so specific to Gagaga Magician instead of any Gagaga monster really limits her use. Also an Xyz Summoned monster using this and other Gagaga monsters gains the effect where when that monster is Xyz Summoned, you can target a Special Sumonned monster the opponent controls and make its ATK become 0. Nice to get over the bigger bodies that might be on the opponent’s field and push for more damage at least. Gagaga Girl might have been okay on release, but she doesn’t age well with time tying herself to the original Gagaga Magician, who has never really been all that good. If her first effect was more generic for Gagaga monsters and she had a Special Summon condition, there might have been something here. Otherwise, massive pass.
As for Genesys, just because Onomat is a better Deck doesn’t make the original Gagaga Girl a better card.
Advanced Rating: 1.5/5
Genesys Rating: 1.5/5
Art: 3.5/5 for the original and 4/5 for the alternate artwork, the cooler pose and background were nice touches, if only she was remotely good

Obviously, Throwback Thursday will follow up yesterday’s Gagagaga Girl with the original Gagaga Girl, a level 3 DARK Spellcaster monster. Onomatopaira, Zubababa Knight, and of course Gagagaga Girl will all search it, not that I imagine you would want to outside of casual builds. Gagaga Girl’s stats clock in at a modest 1000 attack and 800 defense– low stats fitting for a combo piece that is still true today.
Gagaga Girl comes with 2 non-once per turn effects, but like many of their kind, the payoff is nowhere near the effort of looping and abusing them. The first effect will let you target a Gagaga Magician you control and copy its current level. As Yuma has done numerous times, this is meant to facilitate an Xyz toolbox so that you can Xyz Summon almost any generic Number monster from Rank 1 to 8. These days, your options are much more attractive than Number 39: Utopia; there’s the plethora of powerful Rank 8 monsters like Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy, or you can simply go into Gagagaga Girl or Ryzeal Duo Drive to kick off Onomat and Ryzeal combo respectively. More options picking up steam are Gallant Granite to search Nibiru, the Primal Being or Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, as well as the infamous Infernal Flame Banshee to grab Nemesis Flag for Archnemeses Protos. The elephant in the room is that Gagaga Girl and Gagaga Magician are quite possibly your worst options for doing this! As you’ve read all week, the modern Onomat cards are actually good at swarming and getting bodies for Xyz Summons (yep, neither Magician nor Girl have Special Summon effects, go figure). The only reason you’d run the Gagaga duo is if you really wanted a toolbox for Number monsters since the recent support is heavily specialized for Rank 4, but honestly you’re much better off summoning Number 99: Utopia Dragonar and just cheating them out. Gagaga Girl’s other effect is barely worth mentioning, granting a bonus effect to an Xyz monster summoned using only it and Gagaga monsters. This bonus effect triggers on Xyz Summon, letting you target an opponent’s monster and drop its attack to 0. Again, this plays into Utopia’s OTK gimmick, and while it can come in handy sometimes, it’s nowhere near worth it to justify running Gagaga Girl in the first place; Gagagaga Girl’s double attack feels a lot more useful in comparison. Overall, despite the nostalgia, there is no reason to run it in any modern build, or modern deck at all for that matter!
+Helps enable a variety of Rank 1-8 monsters in Onomat
-Can’t Special Summon itself and competes with far more effective Gagaga monsters
-Attack drop is mediocre for the effort
Advanced: 1.5/5
Genesys: 1.5/5
Art: 3.75/5 (Original) One of the more blatant cases of TCG censorship, though I’d say not much of value was lost.
4/5 (Alt art) They still took away her shoulders! Though the added tights have grown on me over time.
