'''Toon Monsters''' are a special breed of [[Monster Cards|Monsters]] that debuted in [[Spell Ruler]]. They are [[Retrained]] [[Monster Cards|monsters]] that are able to [[attack]] the opponent [[Direct attack|directly]]. In the manga and anime, they were the trademark [[Monster Cards|Monsters]] of [[Maximillion Pegasus]].  There are [[Toon Monsters#The Three Classes|three classes of "Toon Monsters"]].
+
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 ==
 +
Originally, in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|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 (manga)|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.
  
−
* As mentioned above, the basic strategy of a '''Toon Deck''' is [[Direct Attack]]s on your opponent.  However, all the cards within this classification require you to be in control of "[[Toon World]]" on the field.  "[[Toon Table of Contents]]" can aid you in adding this card to your hand.
+
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.
  
−
* Since most Toon Monsters cannot be Special Summoned unless "[[Toon World]]" is present on the field, you can summon more than one Toon in a turn, but Toon Monsters Level 5 and higher are treated as [[Tribute Summon|Tribute-Summoned]] monsters.  Furthermore, since most of the Toons are considered [[Special Summon]]s, you can tribute tokens generated from cards like "[[Scapegoat]]" or "[[Fires of Doomsday]]".

* "[[Toon Gemini Elf]]" and "[[Toon Masked Sorcerer]]" can maintain hand control, because, while you control "[[Toon World]]", their effects will trigger if they launch [[Direct Attack]]s.  ("[[Toon Gemini Elf]]" forces your opponent to discard a random card from their hand, while "[[Toon Masked Sorcerer]]" allows you to draw a card if it inflicts [[Battle Damage]]).

* Except for "[[Toon Dark Magician Girl]]", no Toon Monster can attack when it is summoned in the same turn.

After Duelist Kingdom, Toon monsters were changed to more closely match their ''OCG''/''TCG'' selves, becoming individual cards separate from their original counterparts.
−
* Toon Monsters are very reliant on "[[Toon World]]" and all of them are destroyed when "[[Toon World]]" is destroyed.  Cards like "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Dark Bribe]]", and "[[Solemn Judgment]]" can negate any card destruction effects.
 
−
**You could even try "[[Defender, the Magical Knight]]", or "[[Card Guard]]".
 
−
**It is also possible to chain a "[[Emergency Provisions]]" to your "[[Toon World]]" and in this way "evade" the destruction of your Toon Monsters but since "[[Toon World]]" is now in the [[Graveyard]], your Toons lose the ability to attack directly.
 
−
**"[[Forbidden Chalice]]" can also be used to negate the effect of a Toon Monster, so it will not be destroyed when "[[Toon World]]" is destroyed.  However, it can also be used to counter the [[Summoning Conditions]] of Toons, so they can attack during the turn they are summoned.  But, if "[[Forbidden Chalice]]" is used, Toons also lose their [[Direct Attack|Direct-Attack]] effects.
 
−
**"[[Vengeful Bog Spirit]]" can also be used in a Toon Deck, because, while it will not impair your Toons much (since they cannot attack when they are summoned anyway), it will impair your opponent greatly.
 
−
**"[[Future Visions]]" can also be included in a Toon Deck, since most Toon Monsters are considered [[Special Summon]]s, which are unaffected by "[[Future Visions]]".

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.
