'''Toon monsters''' (トゥーンモンスター ''Tūnmonsutā'') are cartoonized counterparts of existing monsters, having some reliance on the card "[[Toon World]]".
 
−
 
 
−
Originally, in the manga and anime, Toon monsters were formed by having the effect of "[[Toon World (manga)|Toon World]]" applied to non-Toon monsters. These Toon monsters had the ability to dodge attacks.
 
−
 
 
−
In the ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[TCG]]'', Toon is an [[ability]]. Toon monsters exist as separate cards than their non-Toon counterpart, with whom they share no direct in-game relationship. They are capable of attacking the opponent directly and while they benefit from the card "[[Toon World]]", they can be used without it. There are [[#OCG/TCG|five classes]] of "Toon monsters", dubbed by fans Class A, B, C, D, and E.
 
−
 
 
−
All Toon monsters belong to the "[[Toon]]" archetype (including "[[Manga Ryu-Ran]]", since its Japanese name contains トゥーン).
 
−
 
 
−
Toon monsters were the first Effect Monsters with an ability to be introduced, debuting in ''[[Spell Ruler]]''. While [[Flip monster]]s (as Flip Effect Monsters) were introduced earlier, they were not treated as having an ability until much later.

This article is about the ability. For the archetype, see "Toon".
Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon
"Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon", a Toon monster.

Toon monsters (トゥーンモンスター Tūn Monsutā) are Effect Monsters with the ability "Toon". They are all members of the "Toon" archetype, and are cartoonized counterparts of existing monsters. Their signature effect is the ability to attack directly, and not being able to attack the turn they are Summoned.

Characteristics[edit]

Shared effects[edit]

Most Toon monsters share the following two effects:

  • Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned.
  • While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly.

All Toon monsters are counterparts to other existing monsters, and typically also feature the effects of their original counterparts.

All Toon monsters belong to the "Toon" archetype; this includes "Manga Ryu-Ran", since its Japanese name contains 「トゥーン」. Because of this, the characteristics that describe Toon monsters also describe "Toon" as an archetype.

In the manga[edit]

Originally, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Toon monsters were not individual cards, and were instead created when other non-Toon monster cards came under the effect of Maximillion J. Pegasus' "Toon World", and were transformed into their Toon counterparts. In their Toon forms, monsters could dodge attacks and hide within the "Toon World" book, and avoid being destroyed by battle.

Although "Toon World" was used to transform "Dark Rabbit", "Dragon Capture Jar" and "Bickuribox", they were not given separate names while affected, and "Dragon Capture Jar" did not demonstrate the ability to dodge attacks.

In the anime[edit]

Yu-Gi-Oh![edit]

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, during the Duelist Kingdom tournament, Toon monsters functioned the same way that they did in the manga.

After Duelist Kingdom, Toon monsters were changed to more closely match their OCG/TCG selves, becoming individual cards separate from their original counterparts.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX[edit]

In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, a "Toon Ancient Gear Golem" appeared when Pegasus used "Comic Hand" on "Ancient Gear Golem".

Trivia[edit]

  • Toon monsters were the first Effect Monsters with an ability to be introduced, debuting in Spell Ruler. While Flip monsters (as Flip Effect Monsters) were introduced earlier, they were not treated as having an ability until much later.
