Continuous Effect

Continuous redirects here for other uses see Continuous Cards

Continuous Monster Effects (永続効果, Eizokukōka) typically come into play as soon as the monster is successfully Summoned, and don't disappear until the monster is removed from the field or flipped face-down.

"Jinzo" and "Spell Canceller" are two such cards with Continuous Effects. Continuous Monster Effects do not start a Chain, therefore they cannot be negated by "Divine Wrath", "Pulling the Rug", "Doomcaliber Knight" or "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror". However, they can be negated by other continuous effects that negate Effect Monsters' effects (such as "Skill Drain").

Other Continuous Monster Effects aren't applied when the monster is summoned, but are applied at a specific time on the field. "Bountiful Artemis", "Ancient Gear Golem", and "Steamroid" are cards with this kind of Continuous Effect which is only applied at a certain time.
