"Kaiba wasnt all the way evil."
Didnt Kaiba beat Yugi grandpa so badly he needed to be hospitalize.

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

I love how Pegasus had the only copy of toon world the same way Kaiba had the last three (undamaged) blue-eyes

[bastianokamiro]

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!

Fun fact: in duel links Zane has a voice line for when he summons Toon Cyber Dragon "Toon Cyber Dragon's bringing the charm"

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.

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

Haven't played in forever but the Toon archetype has always been a favorite of mine. Would love to see Toon variants of monsters continue to be made

The original artwork we see in the English dub for Mimicat I like the best

That green foggy colored background and the blue gradient on the cat was really appealing to me. It’s featured in Duelist of the Roses as well

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.

I always wanted to see Toon version of Dark rabbit. I think it was pretty iconic as it was based on the funny bunny cartoon Pegasus used to watch all the time, which inspired him to make toon world itself.

[samwill]

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.

[paperfox]

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.

“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.

[sierrasymone]

imagine how pissed I was when I thought I was gonna have all the the monsters turn into cartoons and do funny wacky things only to be massively disappointed to find out it only colored the field in yugioh duelists of the roses 😢😡😡😡😡

[kazumahyrikaru]

I love this series keep up the amazing work

[Yubl]

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.

[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! Just imagine cards like:
Toon Junk Warrior
Toon Cyber Angel Dakini

Toon Destiny Hero Plasma
Toon Black Rose Dragon
Toon Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon
Toon VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon
Number 32: Toon Shark Drake
The possibilities are endless.

Might as well mention this, but there's another Equip Spell that while not part of the Toon Archetype, it has Toon World in it's art, and that is: Shine Palace (or Bright Castle if you played Stairway to the Destined Duel)

Welcome to the World of Toons!
I really loved this archetype since I love watching cartoons as well
