I remember at one of the World Championship tournaments, they had the voice actors for Marik and Pegasus read a script for what a hypothetical duel between the two would look like. And the crowd watching lost their minds when Pegasus won by toonifying the Winged Dragon of Ra. Toon Winged Dragon of Ra has never been created in the real-life card game, but come on, Konami, make it happen

Ah yes, the one where Yami Marik found out what Pegasus drew for turn by using his Millennium Rod to take control of the cameraman’s mind.

One card that was used during the Pegasus vs. Kaiba Duel in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, which was, according to Pegasus, "a new addition to Toon World," the Shine Palace. Its effect in the anime was it grants a LIGHT attribute monster 500 ATK, but in the real OCG/TCG it was 700 ATK. While it was not a "Toon" card, it had the look of a "Toon World" with a shiny white castle instead of its usual shadow-like castle look.

[@connorwood9211]

Do hope this archetype gets more support in the future. There's plenty of ideas out there - Protection support to make them like depicted in the anime/manga - Retrains of cards like Dark Rabbit, Parrot Dragon Toon Alligator and Bickuribox to fit into it - Create Toon Dragon Jar and Toon Dragon Piper like in the manga. Support that turns all cards in Toons

[@redmage808]

I was thinking they could create another card that becomes "Toon World" while on the field and it makes one of your non-Toon monster into a Toon for that turn or something, similar to when Pegasus turned monsters into a Toon monster Edit: they could also create Extra deck Toon Monsters, equip cards for Toons, and a card that either gets rid of the summoning sickness or the early Toon LP cost to attack

[@TheBrickBasher1996]

Cartoon variants of any Potential Fusion Monsters like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Black Skull Dragon, Dark Paladin or even Cyber End Dragon and Master of Chaos.

[@paperfox19]

A good retrain i think for toon alligator would be giving it the effect if its used to summon a toon monster it can count as two tributes, thus getting the 7 and 8 star toons out easier.

[@Mrryn]

I mean, if we wanna make it really good, have it be able to Special itself from the hand if you control Toon World and no non-Toon monsters and then, the turn it's Summoned (Normal or Special), you can Normal Summon 1 Toon monster in addition to your one Normal Summon and also have it count as two tributes for the Summon of a Level 7 or higher Toon monster (not just Normal Summon, since Blue Eyes Toon and Manga Ryu Ran count as Special Summons).

[@john5511]

toon monsters are generally not tribute summoned though. usually people use toon page flip

[@samwill7259]

I have entire notebooks full of hypothetical Toon versions of cards, the idea that Toon World can turn ANY monster into a Toon and we see so few of them just set my little creative brain alight.

[@MrTARDIS]

3:20 Regarding whether or not you could attack directly in early Yu-Gi-Oh, I do remember one line in the duel between Yugi and Mai (I think it's just before Yugi summons the Mystical Elf) he says something along the lines of "If I don't play a monster, Mai's dragon is free to attack my life points directly! I'll never survive against that!". I've only ever seen that series dubbed, so I'm not sure what the sub says.

[@TheKpa11]

The sun just has the ruling where you can’t attack you opponent directly, but you also have to have at least one monster on your field when your turn comes up, otherwise you lose seemingly

[@bastianokamiro5421]

you forgot to mention, as a fun little trivia detail, the Toon barrel dragon design, its inspired by the censorship of the original barrel dragon by 4kids, making him to be seen more childish that way as a toy gun rather than toonified gun barrels! nice video as always!

[@itstimetodu...learnenglish1934]

Actually, as a translator, I can tell you that Manga Ryu Ran is a pretty nice attempt to recreate Pegasus’ broken Japanese. That’s a quirk of the character one should always strive to replicate in the localization process. Sure, one should first have a look at the entire arc and see if that strategy was consistently applied throughout. In the first version of the Italian manga, there was no trace of this quirk, but the card was still called Manga Ryu Ran; that’s where I would speak of a localization error. Of course, let’s not forget the localization team is just a small part of the entire production chain, and it’s far from the most important one. The biggest problem, they kept this translation for the card game. They could have looked for a different one.

[@r3zaful]

Simply put, tcg localization sucks. Dragma to dogmatika : look the dogmatika is cult that workship a dragon child aluber and their goal is to be ascended into a dragon. How you can connect dogmatika to dragons? Yes you can't dragma? Dragon dogma Astram to avramax : another insulting localization, auram is the chosen star hero, he was chosen by the star relics to wield the world key. How you can connect avramax to stars? You can't astram? *astral* auram

“Toon table of Content” was actually a main deck Sky Striker card in the TOS and TOSS format. The reason was that it can be used to fill the graveyard with 3 spells, and you can also add “Toon Cyber Dragon”, which can be used to contact fusion the Cyberdragon fusions. This is especially relevant in Master Rule 4, which makes it so that players can only special summon extra deck monsters in Extra monster zone or to the zone a Link monster points to. The meta at the time was basically lock both EMZ so the opponent cannot play Extra deck at all.

[@lokephoenix1039]

Before that, it was in early Judgment Book builds as well. It was three extra searches for Spellbook of Judgment. That and an extra three levels, made summoning High Priestess way easier if that’s what you needed Toon Table is objectively the best search card ever made. If only it could search better things 😢

[@CindyHelms]

You can definitely tell which finalist Pagasis wanted to duel… he had toon versions of half of Yugi's best cards (at that point) while others like Kaiba only had one.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I wish the earlier Toon Monsters weren't terrible monsters. Not only could you not summon them if Toon World isn't on the field, but they could not attack the turn they're summon. The only effect that I didn't mind was needing to pay 500 Life Points in order for the Toon Monsters to attack, as they can attack your opponent directly, provided that they don't have a Toon Monster themselves. I mean, if you have a 3000ATK monster that can attack your opponent's Life Points directly, while they have other monsters on the field, of course that monster's gonna need a maintenance cost. And needing paying 500 Life Points to inflict 3000 to your opponent seems like a fair deal. Although, having the requirement to pay 500 Life Points to attack an opponent's monster is nonsensical, especially since they can't on the turn they're summoned. And yes, it is true that most, if not all, the Toon Monsters couldn't attack the turn they're summoned, but big difference between the newer Toon Monsters and the older ones is that you could summon the newer Toon Monsters at any time, even if you don't have Toon World on the field. Plus, many of them had additional effects that can benefit them in battle.

[@Mrryn]

Maybe a new Toon continuous spell, call it Toon Errata or Toon Addendum, that basically removes the effects limiting attacking the turn they are summoned, the LP cost to attack, and maybe something like them banishing any non-Toon that battles them in addition to battle protection (and as an added bonus, have Errata/Addendum act as a pseudo-Union card and block anything that would normally destroy or remove a face-up Toon World on your field by popping itself instead).

[@NitsuaBZ]

I'd love for them to revisit Toon's with a structure deck or something.

Fun fact: The original first japanese printing of Toon World was a bit different. It said pay 1000 lp to play it, then pay an extra 500 lp each standby phase, and if Toon World would be destroyed, you regain the lp used to pay for it.

[@terrysyvertson9205]

the fusion monster bikuribox, the monster illuminationist-faceless mage, and its retrain are supposed to be toon-like monsters as well, and i think flying elephant and dream clown are also meant to be toon-like monsters

[@customcardguy]

For a deck with as much search power as Toons have, you'd think it'd be a lot more consistent than it is. But the reliance on Toon World and all the good monsters being high level makes it a chore to really get anything going. Another issue it faces is a lack of card advantage generation at will. So many decks these days have easy +1s and more. Toons have to work for it. If I were Konami, I'd start with solving these issues first.

Fun Fact : In the game of Eternal Duelist Soul, Pegasus used Toons to do some of his fighting, but if you used Toons too and Pegasus went to attack, you’d soft-lock the game because he wasn’t programmed to attack monsters, only directly…. Also the game added a tax on Toon World where you’d lose 500 life points each turn until Toon World was destroyed and you’d get the ‘taxed’ life points back.

[@Japanlover79]

Since the monster universe is a thing in yugioh it's safe to assume that the toon monster world exists as well. It would be really cool to get a yugioh movie in that kind of setting. You could have a plot where kid pegasus is transported there and has to use toon monsters to save the day. It would be a neat way to get new toon monsters into the game.

Ever since discovering the updated look Pegasus was given in the GameBoy game Reshef of Destruction, I really wish that he had come back in the anime at some point with it to style on a main henchman of that season's villain and toonifying a previously unbeatable ace monster. Maybe he could even have added Kuriboh into his deck after learning just how good it truly could be from Yugi. Y'know, a character arc.

[@CyberDalek17]

And Bickuribox, it was a cartoonish monster that never got "Toon-ified" as you put it and Pegasus used it to land the finishing blow on Kaiba by pulling a Scythe out of its mouth and slashing Saggi to pieces while cackling like a maniac

If Toons get a second wave of new support, I hope we get some or all of these: - New continuous spells (and maybe also traps) that count as Toon World, in a similar vein to how there are cards like that for Umi. Maybe have them based on different pages of Toon World? - More Toon versions of cards, especially lower level monsters (Toon Giant Rex and a Toon version of one of Weevil's bugs come to mind, or maybe proper Toon Versions of Rabbit and Alligator could work too) and maybe some extra deck monsters (Ultimate Toon Dragon anyone?) - Retrains of older Toon monsters that, at minimum, remove them being destroyed if Toon World is destroyed. As for further effects... -Summoned Skull: Could give it a once per turn destroy a monster with equal to less than its atk, as a riff on Makiu the Magical Mist. -Blue-Eyes: Perhaps make it send monsters it battles to the graveyard at the end of the damage step, as a riff on Ultimate Creature of Destruction (seeing as Toon Kimgdom covers a lot of that card's other effects) -Mermaid: Given the flavor text of the original being "A mermaid archer that hides in a protective shell, waiting for the right moment to strike.", maybe give it a debilitating effect upon dealing battle damage to an opponent? -Ryu-Ran: Definitely the hardest, as even the flavor text is fairly unhelpful. Maybe it negates the effects and/or lowers attack of monsters that attack it because it "looks harmless"?

[@TheKillerman3333]

[@cullenlatham2366]

Toon-ification was a fun effect in the show limited by its screen time. The only way to really do it justice would be to specify archetypal effects as separate from unique effects on cards, and most players already think in those terms, anyway. It is a hindsight solution, but since most if not all early toon monsters required toon world on the field to exist, the archetype could have been worded a bit differently. "toon world: pay 1000 life points. cards with 'toon' in their name are always treated as a special summon (and does not take up your normal summon), but require the same amount of tributes. any card with 'toon' in its name gains the following effect(s): this monster can attack directly unless the opponent controls a toon monster." From there, each toon card only needs 2 effects: "this card cannot be summoned unless 'toon world' is on the field. If 'toon world' leaves the field, destroy this card." (this archetypal effect description would then be printed on any toon world retrains, along with the modified effects like costs or protection. it would not need to be printed on monsters since they cannot make it to the field without some sort of cheat or the central card with all the archetypal effects already on the field.) With the archetype fully errata-ed, it now opens the way to adding card effects that steal opponent's monsters and treat them as toons, all without the need to print unique toon monsters for every archetype in the game. There could be a card that steals a monster, negates all its card effects except those applied by its new toon naming (with minimal cost), alongside ones that steal the card without negating its effects (for a higher cost like equip spells taking up a board space from more reactive backrow), as well as addresses the overcrowded text blocks that plagued toon dark magician girl.

also since some toons were made off what ifs you can take it a step further, Mako, Weevil, and Rex were all apart of Duelist Kingdom and you can make some fun toons from their decks. Toon Fortress Whale or Toon Legendary Fisherman, for Mako. Toon Moth for Weevil, Toon Rex or Nightmare Toon Dragon would work for Raptor. Bones would be good for a Toon Pumpking.

One of my old-time favorite archetypes Yu-Gi-Oh decks.

[@Necfreon]

If toon world ever succeeded in anything it’s inspiring absolute hatred to anyone fighting against it in the anime I mean seriously of course kaiba hated the fact Pegasus made a mockery of blue eyes but to hear yugi say the same thing for his stuff feels enlightening to say the least

[@Ninjaman176]

I could swear the joey and Pegasus starter decks came out after Magic Ruler/Spell Ruler sets in the tcg

[@Lazy2320]

Speaking of Pegasus having the only Toon World in existence, I remember seeing a Kaiba starter deck at Walmart as a kid and (being like 6 at the time) I took the show serious when it said only a few Blue Eyes White Dragon cards existed in the world and I BEGGED mom to get it for me because of that. She said no lol

[@scarletsage6267]

I’m still surprised they haven’t made a Toon Relinquished/Eyes Restrict or even Toon Extra Deck monsters

[@zerocalvin]

the saddest thing is, Toon Harpie Lady doesnt count as Harpie Lady while on the field or in the graveyard, so she doesnt get harpie support... but at least she still count as a harpie card or harpie monsters...

[@tronjenkins4710]

This feels like an archetype that would do well with a link 1 or 2 that gives protection or counts as too world itself. That or a weird boss monter that is near unkillable.

[@Nero4221]

I play solely toon cards in Yu-Gi-Oh master duel an i love it. Bookmark is absolutely essential to summoning toon kingdom. Red eyes and dark magician always feed monsters or traps to the field. Nibiru with shadow toon card also is a very good otk

[@Albortomagico]

We need retrains of the entire archetype that work like they did in the anime and nothing can change my mind If dark magician can have a dragoon fusion card that is immune to everything and everyone then it's only fair the original villain gets that effect on *every monster*

[@shandog7]

Off topic, would love to see a vid on Joey and Mai's duels during the Awakening the Dragons arc

[@NidotheKing]

Pegasus' deck has a lot of similarities with Sora Perse's from Arc-V. They both have childish cards as well as nightmarish ones. A duel between them would have been interesting!

[@cupcakemedia1143]

I decided recently to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh, and my love of drawing plus this video made me seek out a Toon Deck to make on Master Duel. Thank you for giving me the keys to the Toon Kingdom 😁

[@dennisbih9457]

Such a great video, thanks !!

[@Billy_Wyatt]

I really wish Toon to become a viable deck because as it is right now, it's very unstable. Such a fun deck to play with nonetheless and Pegasus ofc being the first main villain to use such uncanny monsters is pretty cool.

[@matthewmoloney5974]

Finally I adore the toon archtype quick question what music did u use when talking about the gx toon cards ?

[@Crunttown]

Kaiba was a full on antagonist in the beginning of the manga. Theres even an arc where Kaiba designed a Saw like theme park designed around killing Yugi and his friends

[@gamer7234]

I've never known about so many of these like buster blader and black luster soldier

[@quickfreeze4]

OH thank you. I've been waiting for you to do a Archtype on toon monsters.

[@TheYoSongMan]

Now that you made this video, they're going to release more Toon support in the form of a structure deck or being the face of the next set.

[@XJ9LoL]

I liked the original toon world art. It was meant to be a "kids book" but its filled with dark secrets.

[@TheKpa11]

Same. In contrast. I find “toon kingdom’s” artwork pretty bland

[@FruityGroovy]

I think one interesting way to get more Toon support is for there to be toonified cards of the monsters of other participants in Duelist Kingdom. Cards from Weevil, Rex, Mako, and Bonz would probably be the most ideal candidates (Para, Dox, and Panik wouldn't make sense, since they were hired by Pegasus).

[@Osprey441]

Starter Deck Pegasus was my first actual deck- also I wish there were toon fusion monsters-

[@bladersmosh]

Not related to this but I thought I might bring this up if you’re interested. You spoke in the Yusei vs Jack duel analysis vid about the lack of extra deck variety. I thought that If you want to analyse a duel with extra deck variety, I recommend doing “Was Ai about to beat Playmaker?”. Why? Because Playmaker used exactly 15 extra deck monsters in that duel and could he have finished the duel quicker or lost if he played certain link monsters at a different point in the duel sooner or later. Plus, it’s one of my favourite Vrains and ceremonial duels. What do you think?

[@KoniXyz]

He used exactly 15? I remember Accesscode, Mage, Darkfluid, Furious, Proxy F and Quantum. What were the others?

[@bladersmosh]

His extra deck during his duel with Ai consisted of… 1. Decode Talker 2. Transcode Talker 3. Cyberse Witch 4. Cyberse Wicckid 5. Clock Spartoi 6. Splash Mage 7. Proxy F Magician 8. Linkross 9. Exslayer 10. Firewall Dragon Darkfluid 11. Accesscode Talker 12. Borreload Furious Dragon 13. Cyberse Clock Dragon 14. Cyberse Quantum Dragon 15. Firewall eXceed Dragon With all that in mind, would the duel have ended sooner in Playmaker’s favour if he summoned any these monsters earlier or later in the duel? I think it would be fun for Sam to try cover knowing what his extra deck has in that duel. What do you think?

[@callummilford9346]

In the original toon video you did a Pegasus voice for toon cards tgs anime I couldn't stop laughing

[@dariusmichel4435]

Technically theres also the equip card Shine Pallace, tho not technically directly part of the archetype is incredibly closesly associated with it.
