* Characters/SplinterCity - Happy: But of course! She’s not a girl, she’s a Magical Girl [[pink: This is a ZCE, but elsewhere on the page she's described as "The last remnants of an eldritch World Eater who became enamoured by the concept of [[MagicalGirl Magical Girls]], and thus altered their form and donned cute, frilly clothing to take up crime-fighting and the pursuit of justice."]]

In the original novel series, she performs much greater magical feats and, in fact, is descended from a long line of enchantresses.

Minami introduces Azusa to Harumi Akaishi, only for Azusa to become rather horrified to realize that Harumi is the civilian identity of Azurite's MagicalGirl partner, since she's terrified of Harumi realizing her true identity. When Azusa pulls Minami aside and tells her that she doesn't feel comfortable hanging out with Minami due to her social awkwardness, Minami understands, says she's grateful that Azusa thinks of her as a close friend, and apologizes to Harumi on Azusa's behalf.

* Characters/FateGrandOrderLancersGToM - Ibaraki-Douji: When reaching third Ascension, she comments gleefully that she now looks like a "Magifender", which is later revealed in Oniland to be a magical girl-like oni that Shuten-douji made on the spot to amuse Ibaraki comparing her to one.
* PlayingWith.AgentPeacock: Bob, the WorldsBestWarrior, has the build, costume, and mannerisms of a MagicalGirl.

* WorseThanItSounds/WebOriginal - WebAnimation/SugoiQuestForKokoro: The protagonist is a [[DesignatedHero morally complex]] young girl who leads a privileged life. She possesses '''[[MagicalGirl special powers]]''' and uses them to deal with evil classmates who try to keep her down. She has eyes only for [[SatelliteLoveInterest one man]], but one day her so-called best friend takes him away with little regard for her feelings. Angered, she spirals into a depressive despair that culminates in multiple hospital vists. The end of the series involves her closest ally and caretaker trying to save her from herself as her powers grow too dangerous and her mental health worsens, culminating in [[GainaxEnding the destruction of the planet.]] Notable for also being a crossover with a [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} popular and beloved web comic.]] -- [[pink: She's a Manga/SailorMoon parody, though this isn't immediately clear by this entry]]

* VideoGame/SilentHill3: Parodied with Heather, who during a replay game can find a wand and, after invoking a TransformationSequence, shoot [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] at the enemy. Kill enough enemies with it and you can unlock the game's UFO ending.
* ExtranormalInstitute - ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Future's Promise School for {{Magical Girl}}s is the city's exclusive private school for girls with MagicalGirlWarrior powers. It is said to be very well-funded with a strong education, and accommodating school hours to spare its magical girl students from being {{Triple Shifter}}s. The school is only open to girls who have registered with the Board of Magical Girls, and attendance is not compulsory, but it is highly recommended that active magical girls take advantage of the academy's benefits -- as one magical girl puts it, it's a reward for the potentially lethal work the girls do every night.

Added DiffLines:

* Animation/BalalaTheFairies: If you want to see China's version of the MagicalGirl genre, then you have ''Balala the Fairies'' -- [[pink:the page doesn't have a MagicalGirl example, but does have a [=ZCE=] for MagicalGirlWarrior]]
* PlayingWith.AgentPeacock: Bob, the WorldsBestWarrior, has the build, costume, and mannerisms of a MagicalGirl.
* ShallowParody.WesternAnimation - WesternAnimation/SouthPark: The whole concept of "Princess Kenny" seems like Matt and Trey watched exactly one episode of any arbitrary '''MagicalGirl''' series, crammed together a few rainbow/kawaii/pink dresses jokes and called it a day. Odd, because the duo should be familiar enough with Japanese culture, especially after the episodes "[[Recap/SouthParkS8E1GoodTimesWithWeapons Good Times With Weapons]]" and "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E11Chinpokomon Chinpokomon]]".
* Anime/SchoolDays - ParodyEpisode: The {{OVA}} ~Magical Heart Kokoro-Chan~ is a spoof of the MagicalGirl genre and the {{Sentai}} genre, as well as of the original series.


Added DiffLines:

* Webcomic/MagicalTwelfthGraders: Then she stumbles across her (male) biology teacher dressed like a MagicalGirl, fighting giant floating goldfish.
* MysticalWhiteHair: ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Early concept art of the series depicts Tessa with white hair instead of {{pink|Heroine}}, hinting early on at her [[InfinityPlusOneElement exceptional magical potential]] even among other '''{{magical girl}}s'''. She also had four colored streaks in her hair, one for each of her teammates -- red for Sally, blue for Undine, yellow for Sylvia, and green for Gwen.

* MonsterRoommate: ''VideoGame/LapisReLights'' has Kaede and Salsa, a human onmyōji-in-training and a werewolf, respectively. Downplayed in that they're both witches training to become MagicalGirl {{Idol|Singer}}s called "witches" at [[WizardingSchool Flora Girls' Academy]] and though rare outside of the country of Dortdgard, "demi-humans" like Salsa are considered citizens like everyone else.
