Gender
This list is based primarily on card text and art. Some cards are clearly female. This may be because it has feminine pronouns in its name ("Archfiend Empress", "Serpentine Princess"), is referred to as female in its card text ("Gyakutenno Megami", "X-Saber Anu Piranha"), or possesses female secondary sex characteristics ("Mist Valley Shaman", "Performance of Sword"). Others may have an overtly feminine appearance ("Dryad", "Mystical Elf"), are part of a female archetype (Amazoness, Harpie, Reptilianne) or are merely presumed female based on their voice and/or role in the anime or manga ("Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Gravekeeper's Assailant"). Others yet may have an androgynous or ambiguously-female appearance, such as "Jain, Lightsworn Paladin", who could either be female or male.
Trivia
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime, "Shadow of Eyes" was shown to be ineffective against female monsters.
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga, "Number 22: Zombiestein" has an effect that prevents it from attacking female monsters.
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories game, some monsters can be Fusion Summoned by using female materials, including "Mystical Sand", "Queen of Autumn Leaves", "Nekogal 2" and "Dark Witch".
