'''Toon monsters''' (トゥーンモンスター ''Tūn monsutā'') are [[Effect Monster]]s 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.

'''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"]]. These are Class A, B and C (more information below).
+
== Characteristics ==
 +
=== Shared effects ===
 +
Most Toon monsters share the following two effects:
  
==Strategies==
+
* 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.
  
===Strengths===
+
All Toon monsters are [[counterpart]]s to other existing monsters, and typically also feature the effects of their original counterparts.
* 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.
 
*Since most Level 5 and above 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 above, still require tributes for their Level, they are still treated as [[Special Summon]] monsters, so 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]]).
 
  
===Weaknesses===
+
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.
*Except for "[[Toon Dark Magician Girl]]", no Toon Monster can attack when it is summoned in the same turn.
 
*Toon Monsters are very reliant on "[[Toon World]]" and all of them are destroyed when "[[Toon World]]" is destroyed. "[[Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell]]" renders your decks pretty much useless. Cards like "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Dark Bribe]]", and "[[Solemn Judgment]]" can negate any card destruction effects. However, if the Toon World would be removed from the field by means other than destruction, such as with [[Giant Trunade]] or for the cost of [[Anteatereatingant]], then the Toon monsters would remain unscathed.
 
**You could even try "[[Card Guard]]", or "[[Carrierroid]]"
 
**It is also possible to chain a "[[Emergency Provisions]]" to your "[[Toon World]]", and, in this way, you can "evade" the destruction of your Toon Monsters.  Unfortunately, since "[[Toon World]]" is now in the [[Graveyard]], your Class C Toons lose their [[Direct Attack|Direct-Attack]] effects.
 
**"[[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, and it can also negate the [[Summoning Conditions]] of Toons, so they can attack during the turn they are summoned.  However, again, Toons will also lose their [[Direct Attack|Direct-Attack]] effects.
 
**"[[Book of Moon]]" can be used to flip a Toon Monster Face down and thus saving it from destruction when wToon World is Destroyed however it will need to wait an additional turn to commence an attack.
 
**"[[Vengeful Bog Spirit]]" can be very useful 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]]".
 
**"[[Card Guard]]" can be very useful in a Toon deck to help protect "[[Toon World]]".
 
**"[[Breaker the Magical Warrior]]" is also very useful to protect Toon World from Spell Cards or Trap Cards.
 
**[[Starlight Road]] is very useful against mass destruction cards that pose a threat against [[Toon World]], such as [[Heavy Storm]] and [[Mobius the Frost Monarch]].

Class A Toons: "[[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]]", "[[Toon Summoned Skull]]", "[[Manga Ryu-Ran]]", "[[Toon Mermaid]]"
+
== 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.
  
You can use "[[Soul Exchange]]" as a tribute since you can't attack with them in the turn they are summoned, or special summon a mermaid and tribute her for a stronger "[[Toon]]" monster. Since it's not a normal tribute summon you can also make use of tokens from cards like "[[Scapegoat]]" and "[[Fires of Doomsday]]"
+
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 ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''  anime, during the [[Duelist Kingdom]] tournament, Toon monsters functioned the same way that they did in the manga.
  
Attack with one "[[Toon]]" directly, Chain "[[Magician's Circle]]" on the action tag out an additional "[[Toon Dark Magician Girl]]" and boost the attack damage dealt by 2000 points. Or/And chain "[[Magical Dimension]]" on the attack swap one of both "[[Toons]]" that has already attack for an additional "[[Toon Dark Magician Girl]]" and boost the attack even further and destroy a monster on your oponents side of the field. Perhaps you could summon a "[[Toon Gemini Elf]]" or "[[Toon Masked Sorcerer]]" but it's advised to wait a moment with these since they suffer from "[[Summon Sickness]]" tag these out during your opponent's Main Phase 2. This way your hand remains a mystery for as long as possible and they're healed from their "[[Summon Sickness]]" during your opponents turn.

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.
