"'''Semi{{For|the Tip Card|Special Summon-Nomi'''" is a term that refers to a special sub-group of only monsters. If a monster is a "Semi-Nomi Monster", then it means it must be [[Special Summon]]ed by its listed effect before it can be [[Special Summon]]ed by another effect. "[[Aqua Spirit]]", (Tip Card)}}{{Show card image|Photon Thrasher|"[[Harpie Lady SistersPhoton Thrasher]]", and "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]" are all Semi-Nomi monsters. You can recognize a SemiSpecial Summon-Nomi only monster because it will have, "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by..." in its text (although some cards, like "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", do not have the first sentence, the "No Normal Summon or Set" rule still applies).}}

This only lasts as long as the Semi-Nomi monster does not return to the Hand or Deck. As long as the '''Semi-Nomi monster remains on the field''' monsters, in the is a category of [[GraveyardSpecial Summon Monster]], or s with printed Special Summoning [[removed from playprocedure]]s, you and can be Special Summon it again with Summoned by other card effects(from public knowledge locations) once they are [[properly Special Summon]]ed.
