Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Thanks to Hayato's excellent eyesight, he could see clearly that the border of the card Pegasus added to his hand was not the red of a Trap Card or the green of a Spell Card, but the brown of a Monster Card.

Therefore, he naturally began to guess which cartoon monster Pegasus would be searching for.

Pegasus didn't keep them in suspense and immediately revealed the cards added to his hand: "[Perfect World - Cartoon World] can search for cards including but not limited to [Cartoon] monsters. Any card with the [Cartoon] name can be searched."

"Therefore, the card that me searched for and added to my hand was actually this one, [Dark-eyed Fantasyist - Faceless Fantasyist], which does not contain the [Cartoon] field."

"Discard this card from my hand, and pick one of its two effects to activate!"

Before Pegasus could react after playing the card, Yugi and Jonouchi both exclaimed "Eh!" in unison.

"That's strange. Did Pegasus have this card before?" Jonouchi scratched his head, looking puzzled. "I don't remember it."

"I don't remember Pegasus having a card like this among his five new cards." Yugi also had a strange expression, then suddenly remembered something, "Right, did Pegasus just say that he actually has seven new cards?!"

"Oh dear, we've been found out~" Upon hearing their words, Becca laughed so hard her eyes crinkled. "However, it needs to be clarified that, at least when I was dueling with Yugi and Jonouchi, I did only complete five new cards."

"But it was precisely because of my duel with you that I discovered that the biggest flaw of the Toon team was still unresolved. So I further strengthened the last two cards, making my Toon army truly perfect!"

On the Pegasus field, the image of the classic monsters [Faceless Fantasy Master] and [Dark-Eyed Fantasy Master] was stitched together to form [Dark-Eyed Fantasy Master·Faceless Fantasy Master], which also revealed that its race was not the ordinary magician race, but the rare fantasy demon race!
"This card not only contains the power of the [Illusionists] I've used in the past, but also includes data on the Illusion Demon cards collected by the Kaiba Group and provided by you, Hayato. Finally, it was shaped using the remnants of my [Millennium Eye] power!"

Pegasus took a card from his deck. "The effect I chose is—from my hand/deck, place one 'Mind's Eye' face-up on my field!"

Pegasus placed a Trap Card face-up on the duel stage from his deck, and the Trap Card, which appeared in its activated state, immediately began to take effect.

Behind Pegasus, a golden "Eye of Ugato" appears, signifying that the power of the "Millennium Eye" contained within the card is beginning to take effect.

Then—

Hayato whirled around and discovered that his remaining four cards were being displayed in the air behind him!
"The effect of 【See Through the Mind】 is that as long as there is a 【Toon】 card on My field or in My Graveyard, my opponent must keep their entire hand exposed, and I can check my opponent's face-down cards at any time!"

Hayato's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"It's one thing to reveal all your cards, but do you want to listen to what you just said? What do you mean by 'at any time'? Can you find another 'time' like that in the entire Duel Monsters universe?" he scoffed. "You might as well print your own cards—oh, so you really are a card printer."

“There’s no need to say that about me, Hayato.” Pegasus looked helpless, then smiled. “If the first effect alone gets you this excited—what if I unleash the second effect?”

"The second effect of [Mind's Eye] is that if there is a Toon monster or a [Toon] Spell Card on my field or in my graveyard, you can declare the name of a card on the same chain that has not had its effect activated."

Pegasus stretched out his hand and pointed forward, looking at one of Hayato's cards revealed by [Mind's Eye], and said, "While [Mind's Eye] is face-up, until the end of the turn, the effects of cards with the same original card name and declared card are negated!"

"The card name I'm declaring now is—【Primal Life Form - Nibiru】!"

Behind Pegasus, the phantom-like [Millennium Eye] unleashed its power, a beam of light shining on Hayato's remaining cards. Suddenly, a large "X" appeared on the [Primal Life Form - Nibiru], its effect nullified!
Hayato laughed, not because he was amused, but because he was at a loss for words.

"I see. It was wrong of me to complain about the first effect. After all, the second effect of [Mind's Eye] is even more ridiculous. It even has a second-speed [Stop Order] that can be used once per turn. I might as well just declare you the winner."

Forcibly seeing through everyone's hand and sealing their use of trendy "look and activate" effects isn't the end of it; it can even declare and negate someone else's card at second speed under absolute information disadvantage.

In other words, this card can even declare its name and negate the effect of cards like Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring before they are activated, forcibly preventing the opponent from activating their effect and interrupting their own combo.

"That's so blatant!?" Jonouchi was also dumbfounded. "Wait a minute, Pegasus, you created this card after our duel? Could it be that this effect is specifically designed to counter cards like [Harpie's Feather Duster]?"

"After all, the flaws of the [Cartoon] style have always been quite obvious, but the appearance of this [Mind's Eye] has made up for those flaws." The game commented from the side, "However, it's made up for them a little too much, almost to the point where you can win however you want."

Despite his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), Hayato didn't forget that they were in a duel, and looked at Pegasus, saying, "However, even though I have other cards in my hand, I'm only focusing on [Primal Life Form - Nibiru]."

"Bekas, your cartoon is now supporting the expo?"

“Sodayo~” Pegasus nodded affirmatively, “Without the danger of the [Primal Life Form - Nibiru], my Cartoon Army can now appear without restraint!”

"Because [Funny Dark Rabbit] grants me an additional Normal Summon against a monster with the [Toon World] card name, I Normal Summon this [Comic Cat] in Defense Position."

The prototype is the cheat card that Pegasus used to love to use in the past - the magical version of "Grave Robber" "Copycat" that can directly steal monsters or spell/trap cards from the opponent's graveyard. A purple cat with rubber-like elasticity jumped out of the cartoon book.

Just as the Dark Rabbit, after transforming into the Comic Dark Rabbit, now carries a shovel, the new Comic Cat also holds a retractable hand toy. That card is also Pegasus's old favorite, Comic Hand, which can seize control of the opponent's monster.

Combining two magic cards into one monster card is, in terms of innovation, very much in the style of Pegasus, who likes to use one card art to impersonate multiple monsters—[Double-Mouthed Dark Ruler] and [Two-Headed Thunder Dragon] are really something else.

Putting everything else aside, the new card formed from two cards with maxed-out NTR attributes, Hayato felt that the card also carried some of the attributes of other people's cards. It was even a Level 1☆ monster with 0 attack and 0 defense, which looked very powerful.

【Comic Cat】【1☆/Dark】

[Orc/Effect]

[0/0]

But compared to Hayato, who thought a lot, Jonouchi, who was off the field, was much more direct: "The 'Copycat' with 'Manga Hand' is innovative, but I wanted to complain about it during the duel. Does combining the names of two cards make it a new card?"

"Because it is indeed a 'copycat held in the hand of a comic book,' it is simply called 'Comic Book Cat.'"

The game also commented, "Like the [Dark-Eyed Fantasyist - Faceless Fantasyist] from earlier, the name is terrible. Luckily, the name [Super Mage - Black Mage Apprentice] wasn't chosen by Pegasus, otherwise it would probably be called [Black Mage - Black Mage Girl]."

“I thought this name was pretty good,” Pegasus said, looking quite hurt after hearing the others’ comments. “Besides, although both [Copycat] and [Manga Hand] use each other’s cards in battle, [Manga Cat] is a completely different new card.”

"Can only be activated during the Main Phase for both players. Tribute one monster on my field, and Special Summon one monster with the card name of 'Toon World' from my hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

Without continuing, as if he had already stated the effect, Pegasus pointed to his field: "Release [Funny Dark Rabbit] on my field!" "Quack!?" Upon hearing that Pegasus was going to release it, [Funny Dark Rabbit] immediately showed a very hurt expression, its entire body turned grayish-white, as if it had burned out, and even when [Comic Cat] next to it used [Comic Hand] to hold it, it did not react.

With a mischievous grin, [Comic Cat] stuffed the [Funny Dark Rabbit] back into the cartoon book, then made a rummaging motion as if it were rummaging for something. Suddenly, it raised the [Comic Hand], and a magical gadget effect just like that of "Doraemon" appeared in its hand!

"Special Summon this [Toon Dark Magician] from my Deck." Pegasus revealed the card and placed it on the table. "Come forth, the strongest magician in the Toon world!"

[Anime Dark Magician] [7☆/Dark]

[Mage race/Cartoon/Effect]

[2500/2100]

The game's ace monster, [Dark Magician], appears in Pegasus's cartoon book in a cartoonish form. He looks much more chibi-like, but his stats haven't been reduced at all; he still has the standard 2500 attack power of a protagonist's ace.

Moreover, it also has special effects gained from being cartoonized.

"It's been seven years since my last duel with Hayato, hasn't it?" Pegasus recalled the past. "So, do you still remember the effect of this card?"

"Once per turn, discard one [Toon] card from my hand and activate one of two effects."

Pegasus draws a [Toon Cyber ​​Dragon] from his hand and sends it to the graveyard, saying, "I choose to Special Summon [Toon Dark Magician] from my Deck, ignoring its summoning conditions!"

"Come out, [Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon]!"

【Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon】【7☆/Dark】

[Dragon/Cartoon/Effect]

[2400/2000]

After the Dark Magician in the game, it was Jonouchi's turn to have the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. The Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon, appearing in a cartoonish form, stood next to the Cartoon Dark Magician and raised its claws to greet him.

"Red-Eyes can actually do such silly moves?" Jonouchi said with considerable surprise as he looked at the Red-Eyes Toon Dragon on the field.

The game, somewhat exasperated, reminded Jonouchi, "Jonouchi, actually, the Red-Eyes move you just made was completely imitating how you greeted me."

"Huh? Is my usual greeting really that stupid?" Jonouchi was taken aback, then turned to Pegasus on the stage and said, "Damn it, you actually imitated me! Unforgivable, Pegasus!"

"The final effect of [Perfect World - Toon World]: Search your Deck for one [Toon] card." Pegasus ignored him and played another card from his hand. "Then I'll use the effect of [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon]!"

"Once per turn, during my Main Phase, Special Summon One-Piece Monster (excluding Red-Eyes Toon Dragon) from your hand, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

"The card I'm summoning is the one I just searched!" Pegasus revealed the card, "[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]!"

【贝卡斯：4000LP，手牌：5→6→5→4→5→4→3→2→3→2】

The moment the card was placed on the dueling platform, the lights on the platform seemed to flicker, and the next moment, a miniature white dragon, resembling a child, jumped out of the cartoon book on Pegasus's field.

That is the Blue-Eyes Totoro, the creature that can enrage a seahorse!
[Blue-Eyes Cartoon Dragon] [8☆/Light]

[Dragon/Cartoon/Special Summon/Effect]

[3000/2500]

A superior dragon with 3000 attack power, 2500 defense power, and a light attribute level of 8! This combination of classic elements constitutes the [Blue-Eyes Cartoon Dragon].

“You’re really bold, Pegasus,” Hayato said with a laugh. “You actually dare to continue using this Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon?”

"That Kaiba guy is different from us. We might make a few comments when we see you using [Toon Dark Magician] or [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon], but Kaiba is really keen on [Blue Eyes]. Be careful he doesn't come looking for trouble!"

To everyone's surprise, Pegasus remained calm and composed, saying, "That's why I'm not going to duel him. Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon alone is enough to make him angry, let alone the monsters I'm going to summon next."

"Is it not over yet?" Hayato's interest was piqued, because Pegasus had already performed five Summons and Special Summons in one turn. If it weren't for the effect of [Mind's Eye], Hayato would have already smashed down [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] in his hand.

But judging from Pegasus's words, he hasn't shown all the cards yet? That makes sense. Pegasus has only shown five new cards so far. If he said there are seven new cards, then there are still two that haven't been shown.

Before Pegasus could play any cards, he snapped his fingers and all three "dragons" in his graveyard—the [Toon Cyber ​​Dragon], the [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon], and the [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon] on the field—flew up, their tails intertwined.

Then, the Trisolaran monster suddenly dissolved like paint mixed with water, then spun and twisted together, and finally exploded into a huge cloud of smoke with a bang!

In this animated sequence brimming with cartoonish special effects, a three-headed Blue-Eyes fusion monster appears. However, it is not Kaiba's beloved Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but rather—

"You can Special Summon a Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon and two Toon monsters from your hand, field, or Graveyard by returning them to your Deck or Extra Deck!"

"The ace of the all-new cartoon army, my proud new work, is about to make its dazzling debut!"

"Contact Fusion Summon, Level 12☆!"

"Strong, invincible, the strongest—" Shamelessly copying Kaiba's summoning phrase, Pegasus shouted, "[Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon]!"
