A '''Lingering Effect''' (残存効果 ''Zanzon Kōka'') is any effect that applies even if the card is no longer on the field. Lingering effects cannot be negated (except by negating the initial effect). Here are a few such cards with these effects:

TRADING CARD GAME Event Coverage|accessdate=17 May 2018|date=9 October 2017}}</ref> is a formerly official term used to describe the results of a [[card effect]] that has already been [[resolve]]d or applied but may still have an effect at some future time. It is ''not'' a type of effect, but the result of an effect. Even if the effects of the card that caused the lingering effect are later [[negate]]d, any lingering effects it has already applied are unaffected. The term "lingering effect" was used in [[Upper Deck Company]] rulings, but has never been officially used by [[Konami]] and there is no known official term to describe these effect results.
 
  
Some examples of cards with lingering effects are as follows:
 
 
* [[Final Countdown]]
 
* [[Final Countdown]]
 
* [[Last Will]]

Token Monsters are always [[Normal Monster]]s and never have any [[Card effect|effect]]s of their own; however, the card that Summons the Token Monsters may apply a lingering effect to them. For example, "[[Cobra Jar]]" Special Summons 2 "[[Poisonous Snake Token]]s", which, when destroyed, cause the opponent to take 500 damage; this is a lingering effect of "Cobra Jar", not an effect of the Tokens themselves. Despite this, many video games list these lingering effects in the card text of Token Monsters themselves.

One type of card which often has a "lingering" effect are the [[Token Monsters]]. Tokens are not [[Effect Monsters]] and they do not have any [[Card effect|effect]]s of their own; rather, the "effects" of Token Monsters are actually the lingering effect of the [[Spell Cards|Spell]], [[Trap Cards|Trap]] or Effect Monster that Summoned it, and the tokens are always treated as normal monsters.
  
Since a lingering effect has already been applied, even if a card affected by a lingering effect later becomes [[unaffected]] by card effects, the lingering effect still applies to that card. For example, if "[[Limiter Removal]]" affects a [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monster, but it ''later'' becomes unaffected by card effects (e.g. due to the effect of "[[Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora]]"), it is still destroyed during the End Phase. However, if the monster cannot be destroyed by card effects, it cannot be destroyed even by a lingering effect.

An example of this is [[Cobra Jar]].

These effects, however, are listed as effect(s) of the Token Monsters in video games to make their purposes less confusing.

Once applied, a Lingering Effect cannot be [[negate]]d. For example, if "[[Limiter Removal]]" affects a monster, and that monster later becomes [[unaffected]] by card effects (e.g. due to the effect of "[[Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora]]"), it will still be destroyed during the End Phase.
