INFO-JP044 クイーンマドルチェ・ティアラフレース Queen Madolche Tiara Fraise /Madolche Queen Tiara A-La-Fraise
ATK 2600/DEF 2500
EARTH Rank 5 Fairy Xyz Effect Monster
3 Level 5 “Madolche” monsters
Once per turn, you can also Xyz Summon “Madolche Queen Tiara A-La-Fraise” by using “Madolche Queen Tiaramisu” you control. (Transfer its materials to this card.)
(1): Once per opponent’s turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card, then target up to 2 “Madolche” cards in your GY; shuffle them into the Deck, and if you do, shuffle up to that many cards your opponent controls into the Deck. 
(2): If this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent and sent to your GY: Return it to the Extra Deck.

TL Note: “Fraise” is French for “strawberry”.
Updated TL Note: “à la fraise” is the French phrase used for “with strawberries” in terms of some desserts, such as “parfait à la fraise”; the name is likely a mashup of “Tiara” and “à la fraise” taking advantage of the lack of L/R distinction in Japanese. Tiara Fraise, Ti-a-la-fraise, Tiara-a-la-Fraise, take your pick!


INFO-JP050 ミニャーマドルチェ・ニャカロン Minyaa Madolche Nyacaron/Madolche Mewgnard  Meowcaron
ATK 2300
EARTH Link-3 Beast Link Effect Monster
↙↓↘
2+ Effect Monsters, including a “Madolche” monster
You can only use the 1st and 2nd effect of this card’s name once per turn each.
(1): If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 “Madolche” card from your Deck to the hand.
(2): You can target 1 monster in your GY; you cannot activate non-“Madolche” monster effects for the rest of this turn, also Special Summon 1 “Madolche” monster from your hand, and if you do, shuffle that target into the Deck.

TL Note: “Minyaa”, while containing a “nyaa” (meow) pun, is not itself a word; it may be a pun on “mignon” or “mignard”, both meaning “cute/little”, or possibly “mignardise”, a bite-sized dessert.


INFO-JP077 マドルチェ・デセール Madolche Dessert 
Normal Trap
You can only use 1 of the effects of this card’s name per turn, and only once that turn.
(1) Target 2 Effect Monsters on the field, including at least 1 “Madolche” monster; return those Effect Monsters to the hand/Extra Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 “Madolche” monster from your hand or Extra Deck with ATK equal to or less than the returned monsters’ total original ATK.
(2) If a “Madolche” card(s) is returned from your GY to the Deck and/or Extra Deck while this card is in your GY: You can attach this card to 1 Xyz Monster you control as material.

TL Note: This uses the French pronunciation for “dessert” (i.e., “de-sair”).
