Special Summoning by ignoring the Summoning conditions is not considered properly Special Summoning, so if an [[Extra Deck]] monster or a [[Nomi]] or [[Special Summon-only monster]] is Special Summoned this way, it cannot be Special Summoned from the [[Graveyard]] or if [[banish]]ed.
Even with an effect that ignores the Summoning conditions, Nomi and Special Summon-only monsters cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed from the Graveyard or if banished unless they have first been properly Special Summoned.<ref>[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=10639&request_locale=ja Konami OCG Card Database]: Can a "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" that was sent to the Graveyard from your hand be Special Summoned by the effect of "Dark Flattop"?</ref>The only exception is the "[[Legendary Knights]]" summoned from the [[GY]] by "[[Timaeus the Knight of Destiny]]"'s effect.
The phrase was coined by [[Kevin Tewart]] of [[Upper Deck Entertainment]]{{fact}} to allow for flexibility when Summoning [[LV]] monsters with either "[[Level Up!]]" or "[[Level Modulation]]", although this term has been applied to many other groups of cards, such as monsters that [[cannot be Special Summoned]] and [[Special Summon Monster]]s.
