Card Rulings:The Unhappy Girl
OCG Rulings
- The effect "While this card is in face-up Attack Position on the field, this card is not destroyed as a result of battle. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)" is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- The effect "A monster that battled with this card cannot change its battle position, except with a card effect, or attack while this card is in face-up Attack Position on the field." is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- The effect "A monster that battled with this card cannot change its battle position, except with a card effect, or attack while this card is in face-up Attack Position on the field." is applied to all monsters that battled a face-up Attack Position "The Unhappy Girl", and that effect is applied as long as "The Unhappy Girl" remains in face-up Attack Position.[1]
- A monster that was affected by the effect "A monster that battled with this card cannot change its battle position, except with a card effect, or attack." can still change its battle position by a card effect, such as "Zero Gravity".[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: If the opponent's monster that battled "The Unhappy Girl" is changed to face-down Defense Position by a card effect, what happens to the effect of "The Unhappy Girl"?
- A: Suppose a face-up Attack Position "The Unhappy Girl" in your Monster Zone attacks an opponent's face-up Defense Position "Golem Sentry", and neither monster is destroyed by battle. In that case, the effect "A monster that battled with this card cannot change its battle position, except with a card effect, or attack while this card is in face-up Attack Position on the field." is applied to the "Golem Sentry" that battled "The Unhappy Girl", and it cannot attack or change its battle position. However, if "Golem Sentry" is changed to face-down Defense Position by its own effect after that, since the effect of "The Unhappy Girl" stops applying, "Golem Sentry" can attack or change its battle position as usual.[2]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[3] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] |
- "The Unhappy Girl's" effect only applies to "manual" changes. You can still change the monster's position with an effect.
- If "The Unhappy Girl" is in Attack Position and her controller uses "Waboku" or "Kuriboh" to take no damage from the attack, the attacking monster still cannot change battle position.
- If "Tyrant Dragon" or "Hayabusa Knight" attacks "The Unhappy Girl" in Attack Position, they cannot attack again that turn.
- If "The Unhappy Girl" is flipped face-down and then flipped face-up again, then her effect is reset and any monsters that battled with her before can change their battle position and attack again.
- If "The Unhappy Girl" applies her effect to a monster, and "Skill Drain" is then activated and resolves, and "Skill Drain" is then destroyed afterwards, then "The Unhappy Girl's" effect is re-applied and the monster that battled with her before "Skill Drain" was activated cannot attack or change battle position once again.
- If your opponent attacks your "The Unhappy Girl" and you use "Magic Cylinder" to negate the attack, then "The Unhappy Girl's" effect is not applied.
- If you take control of your opponent's "The Unhappy Girl", her effect on your monsters from previous attacks is still applied.
