Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Toon Archetype

[@SirAsdf]

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

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.

[@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!

[@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

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.

[@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

[@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

[@hok_weee]

“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 😢

[@ThiefofRPGistheWanderingSoul]

I hope we get more Toon cards in the futures for Yugioh series as this and the Malefic archetype both have endless possibilities to make such cool cards based off of later duelists. Also fits that Paradox was trying to off Pegasus so it would be cool to see both represented in a future box Konami!

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.

[@Motleydoll451-r5r]

i can think of some fun card ideas. first... a retrain of classic toon world that is (not toon kingdom) that helps you search your toon cards and maybe let you swap those toons out for new toons when they get attacked or targeted for an effect, with the attack or effect FORCED to target the new toon(simulating the idea of a toon dodging from a threat and then grabbing another to potentially get hit instead). a toon card that referances the nostalgia of pegasus for the toons, and the happy innocence they instill in him... a card that gains life instead of paying life for toon monsters or "toon" spell cards to instead. also maybe lets you tribute toons from the hand or deck banishing them instead of being reliant on the field(the card gives more life to the first gen toons). and of course toon retrains of the other toonish monsters in pegasus's line up that were not true toons... but probably should have been. toon bikuri box shuffles toons as material into the deck to special summon it from the extra deck while toon world is on the field, giving you a nasty boy to attack enemies suddenly and without warning, maybe also doing some extra disruption as well. Toon Dark Funny Bunny is a normal summonable toon retrain of dark rabbit who can become immune to opponents card effects once per round and gets a dark energy boost when fighting monsters. toon gator is another tooned retrain of toon alligator that if it leaves the field lets you quickly snag a toon monster. toon parrot dragon can be summoned without a tribute and if toon world is on the field, maybe serves as support or as a big beater. not a clear idea how you would balance these, but i think those seem like they could be fun.

[@Yubl10]

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.

[@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).

[@PianoBounty]

Something to add: Toon Page-Flip showcases another card that has a White Castle popping out from Toon World. That is a reference to an equip card of that has that artwork and I think it supports LIGHT monsters or Fairy type monsters, something like that. It would’ve been cool if Konami retrained that card to another brand new Toon Field Spell.

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.

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.

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"?

[@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.

[@carolynbossom2297]

Out of curiosty, i could be misrembering, but doesn't the Shine Palace equip spell have toon world on its card art?

[@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.

[@callummilford9346]

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

[@ipsyc]

Another interesting fact about table of contents is that in its pages it states "God" which implies that pegasus potentialy had a toon version for the god cards

[@TheKpa11]

Toon gods hoo boi

[@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

[@TheBloodGod8]

Haven't played in ages but these videos are luring me back in! Used to love the Darkworld monsters so I look forward to hear your views on them

[@Bored_Barbarian]

1:05 no….they debuted in Magic Ruler; the third set, which was renamed to Spell Ruler. Pegasus deck came out later

[@Pookiebear]

Thanks for covering this :) always lived toons growing up and watching the og anime

[@BleachMeister]

Fun fact, while no official card exists and this match was only for show at tournaments, Pegasus technically Toonifed the Wing Dragon of Ra. If you look up the Pegasus vs Marik scripted match they did for a tournament in 2015, that is how Pegasus won and it is hilarious to think Pegasus who was so afraid of the power of the Egyptian God cards could technically counter them by turning them into Toons in a duel. I recommend looking it up for anyone who hasn't seen it, along with some of the other scripted duels. Love the Joey vs Kaiba one mainly because of Kaiba's instant disgust when Joey with pure luck managed to have Psychic Shockwave to summon Jinzo the moment Kaiba played Crush Card Virus.

[@SergDragon]

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

[@jonmann4980]

For your next duel analysis please do Kaiba vs Zigfreid. It’s such an interesting duel with so many counters/ saves from Kaiba I want to know who would’ve actually won

[@JohnJacksonJohnson]

Plus, both Pegasus and Ziegfried (and Leon) had an absolutely broken card that was one of a kind.

[@ggrarl]

"I activate Ride of the Valkyries! Auf weidershen, Herr Kaiba!" "I don't speak freaky-deaky Dutch, Pegasus." "I'm not Pegasus!"

[@paperfox19]

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.

[@PinkPulpito]

Someone said my drawings looked like first gen yugioh cards a couple years ago and i think about it everyday.

[@dellosayshello5405]

Cartoonly innocent creatures being evil and creppy has kinda been beaten to the ground in recent years but I still like the toon monster

[@scarletsage6267]

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

[@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).

[@brianaguilar8283]

6:15 I think you forgot Bickuribox

[@ChaosArchives667]

Extra Deck Monster ideas Toon Flame Wingman Atk 2100 This card can not be Special summoned except by Fusion Summon. This card can only be summoned with Toon Polymerization. 2 Warrior Type Toon Monsters When Toon Flame Wingman destroys an opponents monster in battle inflict damage to your opponet equal to that destoyed monsters original attack. Toon Stardust Dragon 1 tuner plus one or more non tuner Toon monsters This card can attack your opponent directly. If a card on your field would be destroyed by a card effect tribute this card negate that effect and destroy it then special summon this card at the end phase. Toon Utopia 39 2 level 4 Toon monsters This card can attack your opponent directly Once per turn if an opponent declares an attack detatch an XYZ material from this card negate that attack if this card is attacked while it has no XYZ monsters destroy it.

[@darkapostle1749]

Easily one of my favorite archetypes, complete with the always epic Pegasus/Toon World theme! ...Also @11:10.... Why didn't we get that?!

[@suteki-shi8291]

Thoroughly enjoyed this on my day off. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

[@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 😁

[@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

[@orochi888]

Nice archetype lore video! Perhaps try out the Raidraptor and Phantom Knights archetypes, but there are a lot of them...

[@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.

[@KempuraChicken]

Magic Ruler was the first time we got Toons, it came out before the Pegasus deck. Source: I was there, Gandalf, 3,000 years ago.

[@matthewluebbering7180]

Quick bit of trivia, despite not dueling all of them there is a toon for every ace monster of each Duelist Kingdom finalist

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

After seeing both the Thousand-Eyed Archetype and Toon Archetype, I now want to see a Duel Analysis video focusing on Maximilian Pegasus. Maybe Yugi vs. Pegasus, Kaiba vs Pegasus, it does matter which one, or (the most likely candidate,) Pegasus vs. Crowler vs. Bonaparte.

[@willnack5315]

Here’s some ideas for what cards they should toon-ify if they ever decide to give the Toons Extra Deck Monsters: 1) Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon 2) Master of Dragon Soldier 3) Dark Paladin 4) Cyber End Dragon 5) Decode Talker 6) Borreload Dragon 7) Goki the Great Ogre (the Gore would probably hate that as much as Kaiba did) I don’t think they should go beyond that because then we would also need to get Toon Tuners (that’s a tongue twist) if they did synchros and both Toon Xyz monsters and Toon Pendulums sound broken!

[@Ramsey276one]

Toon Gouki The Mean Ogre! Onizuka: #-_- ...you better not take that mask off... XD

[@willnack5315]

Funny, but I think “Toon Giuliano the Grumpy Ogre” would fit better!

[@Ramsey276one]

@@willnack5315 XD

[@Ramsey276one]

FYI, it's a reference to the Heel Mask for that Vrains episode?

[@willnack5315]

Ah, I see!

[@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

[@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*

[@121Corey121]

Comic hand lmao. You mean the shocker! That is quit comical 🤣
