Card Rulings:Shinato, King of a Higher Plane
OCG Rulings
- The effect that inflicts damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK is a Trigger Effect that activates on the field. (It does not target. It activates mandatorily at the end of the Damage Step in which "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" destroyed a Defense Position monster in your opponent's Monster Zone by battle and sent it to the Graveyard.)[1]
- This effect activates when the Defense Position monster destroyed by battle with "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" is sent to either player's Graveyard, and it inflicts damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the monster that was sent to the Graveyard.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- When your "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" destroys "Gradius' Option" or "Maju Garzett", your opponent takes no damage from "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane"'s effect.
- If "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" is removed from the field before monsters are sent to the Graveyard, for example if removed from play by "D.D. Warrior Lady", his effect does not activate. But if "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" attacks "Yomi Ship", "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" inflicts the damage from his effect even though he will be destroyed by "Yomi Ship"'s effect after "Yomi Ship" is sent to the Graveyard.
- When "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" destroys a Defense Position monster, your opponent can activate "Barrel Behind the Door" as a chain to "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane"'s effect.
- When your "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" is equipped with "Fairy Meteor Crush" and destroys your opponent's Defense Position monster, first, during damage calculation, "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points because of "Fairy Meteor Crush", and then, when the Defense Position monster is sent to the Graveyard, "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane"'s effect inflicts damage equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster.
