| − | A '''Ritual Summon''' ({{Ruby|儀|ぎ}}{{Ruby|式|しき}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Gishiki Shōkan'') is a method of [[Special Summon]]ing a [[Ritual Monster]] which normally uses the effect of a [[Ritual Spell Card]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ritual Summons usually require [[Tribute]]s (from your hand or field) greater than or equal to, or sometimes strictly equal to, the [[Level]] of the Ritual Monster that is being Summoned. These Tributes are performed as part of the Ritual Spell Card's [[card effect|effect]] [[resolution]], rather than as a [[cost]]. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |title=Individual Card Rulings [L-O] |publisher=UDE |at=Lich Lord, King of the Underworld |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220023927/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |archivedate=20 February 2009}}</ref>

| |
| − | == Performing a Ritual Summon ==
| |
| − | A player can Ritual Summon a Ritual Monster by [[activate|activating]] a card or effect that performs a Ritual Summon (usually a [[Ritual Spell Card]]). When that effect resolves, the player must satisfy the requirements of the card or effect performing the Ritual Summon (usually [[Tribute|Tributing]] monsters from their hand and/or field). After that, the player Summons the Ritual Monster from the [[hand]] (or other specified location) to an unoccupied [[Main Monster Zone]] in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position|Attack]] or [[Defense Position]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When a card or effect that Ritual Summons resolves, if the requirement cannot be met or the Ritual Monster cannot be Ritual Summoned, no Ritual Summon occurs, nor is any action taken for the Ritual Summon's requirement.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |title=Individual Card Rulings [L-O] |publisher=UDE |at=Mask of Restrict |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220023927/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |archivedate=20 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |title=Individual Card Rulings [L-O] |publisher=UDE |at=Lightforce Sword |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220023927/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |archivedate=20 February 2009}}</ref> For example, if a player cannot Special Summon when resolving a Ritual Spell Card that Tributes monsters, no monsters are Tributed.

| − | ===Tributing monsters for a Ritual Summon===
| |
| − | If the card or effect that Ritual Summons does not mandate an exact total Level (e.g. "''You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 6 or more.''"), the player cannot Tribute additional monsters if they already met the minimum Level requirement.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=1408 |title=Absolute Powerforce Preview: Djinn Disserere of Rituals |author=Jerome McHale |date=3 February 2010 |publisher=Konami |accessdate=12 December 2015 |quote=When you Ritual Summon a monster, you need to Tribute monsters whose total Levels{{sic}} at least the Level of the monster you want to Summon, but you aren’t allowed to “overpay.” For example, if your Ritual monster{{sic}} is Level 7, you can Tribute a Level 5 and a Level 3 monster.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Monsters that do not have Levels, such as [[Xyz Monster]]s and [[Link Monster]]s, cannot be Tributed for a Ritual Summon.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A player can activate a card or effect that Ritual Summons even if all of their [[Main Monster Zone]]s are used, but only if they Tribute one of their monsters on the field when that card or effect resolves (if all their Main Monster Zones are still occupied by that point).{{fact}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Face-down]] monsters can be Tributed for a Ritual Summon, unless the card text specifies otherwise (such as "[[Forbidden Arts of the Gishki]]").<ref name="Raven">{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=P&last=R |title=Individual Card Rulings [P-R] |publisher=UDE |at=Ritual Raven |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220140220/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=P&last=R |archivedate=20 February 2009}}</ref> If a face-down monster has an effect that allows it to be used as the entire monster requirement for the Ritual Summon, such as "[[Ritual Raven]]", that effect can be applied if it is Tributed for the Ritual Summon of an appropriate monster.<ref name="Raven"/> If the player can Tribute an opponent's face-down monster due to a card effect (such as "[[Soul Exchange]]"), it cannot be used for a Ritual Summon because its Level is unknown.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=S&last=T |title=Individual Card Rulings [S-T] |publisher=UDE |at=Soul Exchange |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220024252/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=S&last=T |archivedate=20 February 2009 |quote=You can target a face-down monster, but you cannot Tribute it for a Ritual Summon or for “Metamorphosis” because you do not know its Level.}}</ref>

| |
| − | ===Atypical cases===
| |
| − | * While most cards that perform Ritual Summons are Ritual Spell Cards, there are some other cards and effects that can perform Ritual Summons; for example, the [[Trap Card]] "[[Urgent Ritual Art]]", the [[Field Spell Card]] "[[Amorphous Persona]]" and the [[Monster Effect]] of the [[Pendulum Monster]] "[[Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz]]" can perform Ritual Summons. In fact, "Urgent Ritual Art" can perform a Ritual Summon outside of the [[Main Phase]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * While most cards and effects can only Ritual Summon from the hand, some effects can also Ritual Summon from the Graveyard, such as "[[Nekroz Cycle]]" and "[[Odd-Eyes Advent]]".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * While most Ritual Spell Cards require monsters to be Tributed, some Ritual Spell Cards have requirements that do not involve monsters, such as "[[Gishki Photomirror]]" which requires the player to [[pay]] [[LP]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Ritual Summon support==
| |
| − | * Some monsters have effects that allow them count as the entire Tribute for a Ritual Summon, regardless of their Level and the required Level; for example, "[[Ritual Raven]]" and "[[Gishki Shadow]]" have this effect.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Some monsters have effects that allow them to be [[banish]]ed from the Graveyard instead of Tributing a monster for a Ritual Summon; for example, the [[Djinn of Rituals]] [[series]] of monsters all have this effect.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Ritual Monster Summoning conditions==
| |
| − | * A Ritual Monster cannot be Special Summoned from the [[Graveyard]] or while [[banish]]ed (except by Ritual Summon)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14410&request_locale=ja |date=20 November 2014 |title=Ｑ＆Ａ » 手札やデッキから墓地へ送られた「トリシューラの影霊衣」を、「影霊衣の反魂術」によって墓地から特殊召喚できますか？ |publisher=Konami |language=Japanese |trans_title=Q&A » If "Nekroz of Trishula" is sent from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard, can it be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by "Nekroz Cycle"? |accessdate=3 April 2016}}</ref>, unless it was originally Summoned by Ritual Summon.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=D&last=E |title=Individual Card Rulings [D-E] |publisher=UDE |at=Dimension Fusion |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090218205242/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=D&last=E |archivedate=18 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C] |publisher=UDE |at=Contract with the Abyss |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H |title=Individual Card Rulings [F-H] |publisher=UDE |at=Fulfillment of the Contract |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090226221414/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H |archivedate=26 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh!

| − | ** As long as the monster is not returned to the [[hand]] or [[Main Deck|Deck]], it is considered to have been originally properly Special Summoned, so it can still be Special Summoned from the Graveyard or while banished.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/community/forums/thread/853512.aspx |title=Ritual/Fusion Monsters vs. Legal Revival Target |date=18 September 2007 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20071102200622/http:/entertainment.upperdeck.com/community/forums/thread/853512.aspx |archivedate=2 November 2007 |accessdate=12 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh!

| − | ==Manga==
| |
| − | In the original manga, besides the needed tributes, Ritual Summon also requires a proper monster to become the vessel for the Ritual Monster. For example, when Yugi used "[[Black Magic Ritual]]" and "[[Black Luster Ritual]]", he used "[[Gaia The Fierce Knight]]" and "[[Dark Magician]]" to summon "Black Luster Solider" and "Magician of Black Chaos", respectively. Similarly, Maximillion Pegasus used "[[Dark-Eyes Illusionist]]" to summon "[[Relinquished]]".

| |
| − | ==Anime==
| |
| − | [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]] is the only Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime that did not feature any on-screen Ritual Summon whatsoever.
| |
| − | Before ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', there were no common animation patterns for Ritual Summon.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'', when a Ritual Card is activated, the altar depicted on it appears on the field, and then the Tributed monsters turn into a number of flames (equal to their individual Levels) before positioning themselves on the altar. A pillar of fire rises from the altar and explodes in the sky, after which the Ritual Monster descends from the sky.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', a circle is formed and the Tributed monsters turn into a number of flames (equal to their individual Levels) and disintegrate into the sky, before entering the circle. Then an explosion occurs, and the [[Ritual Monster]] is finally created.
