Mentions in Other Rulings
- Silver Wing: If a monster equipped with “Silver Wing” is equipped with “Blast Sphere” and would be destroyed during the Standby Phase, both “Blast Sphere” and “Silver Wing” are destroyed but the monster is not and no damage is inflicted.[Notes 1]
- Power Tool Dragon: If “Power Tool Dragon” is equipped only with “Blast Sphere,” you cannot send “Blast Sphere” to the Graveyard to prevent “Power Tool Dragon” from being destroyed by “Blast Sphere.” If “Power Tool Dragon” is equipped with “Blast Sphere” and another Equip Spell Card, you can send the other Equip Spell Card to the Graveyard to protect “Power Tool Dragon.” In that case, “Blast Sphere” is destroyed, but no damage is inflicted for “Blast Sphere’s” effect.[Notes 2]
OCG Rulings
- When "Goblin Attack Force"/"Goblin Elite Attack Force"/"Giant Orc"/"Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei"/"Destiny Hero - Dasher"/etc attack a face-down "Blast Sphere", "Blast Sphere" will equip to the monster and Damage Calculation will be skipped. However, "Goblin Attack Force" still entered the Damage Step, so it still will be changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase.[1]
- While "Power Tool Dragon" is equipped with "Blast Sphere", if it would be destroyed by the effect of "Blast Sphere", you can apply the effect of "Power Tool Dragon" and send that "Blast Sphere" to the Graveyard instead. In this case, since "Power Tool Dragon" was not destroyed, you take no damage.[2]
- If a monster attacks a face-down "Blast Sphere", then the Life Point recovery effect of "Savage Colosseum" is still applied, even though Damage Calculation is not performed because "Blast Sphere" was equipped to the attacking monster. Also, the attacking monster is not destroyed during the End Phase by the effect of "Savage Colosseum" because it attacked "Blast Sphere".[3]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Dragunity Arma Leyvaten: Suppose that your "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten" is equipped with a monster originally owned by your opponent. If "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten" is destroyed by an opponent's card effect, then you may Special Summon the equipped monster from your opponent's Graveyard.[4]
- Example: "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten" attacks an opponent's face-down "Blast Sphere", and "Blast Sphere" is equipped to "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten". During the Standby Phase after your opponent's turn, "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten" is destroyed by the effect of "Blast Sphere", and "Blast Sphere" is sent to your opponent's Graveyard. Here, you can use the effect of "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten" to Special Summon the "Blast Sphere" from your opponent's Graveyard.[4]

Mentions in Other Rulings
- Legendary Fiend: If "Legendary Fiend" is equipped with your opponent's "Blast Sphere", you can choose to activate "Legendary Fiend's" effect or pass to your opponent. If they decide to pass, you must activate "Legendary Fiend" effect.
Notes
- ↑ The latest print of "Blast Sphere" uses Problem-Solving Card Text, which makes it clear that the effect of "Blast Sphere" does not destroy itself, so if "Silver Wing" is destroyed instead of the equipped monster, "Blast Sphere" is not.
- ↑ The latest print of "Blast Sphere" uses Problem-Solving Card Text, which makes it clear that the effect of "Blast Sphere" does not destroy itself, so "Power Tool Dragon" can send "Blast Sphere" to the Graveyard to avoid destruction by its effect. Additionally, if "Power Tool Dragon" sends another Equip Card to the Graveyard to prevent itself from being destroyed by "Blast Sphere", "Blast Sphere" is not destroyed.
