• Q: I activated and applied the first monster effect of "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon", targeting my opponent's "D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon" this turn. In this situation, if my opponent activates "Skill Drain" and negates the effects of "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon", what happens to the effect that was already applied?

A: In this scenario, since the effects of "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon" are negated, the ATK increase is no longer applied, and its ATK returns to its original value of 3300. However, it will still have the gained name and effects of "D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon" until the End Phase. Also, the following monsters will retain their gained names and effects even if their effects are negated after being applied:
- "Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights"

A: You can target another "Legendary Knight Hermos" in your GY with the effect "Legendary Knight Hermos", and gain its name/effects. In that case, since it already had the name and effects of "Legendary Knight Hermos", the same effect cannot be activated again when it is targeted for an attack.
