− | '''Special Summon-only monsters''', often referred to as '''Semi-Nomi''' monsters, are [[Special Summon Monster]]s that normally can only be [[Special Summon]]ed from a non-[[public knowledge]] location by the method specified in their card text.

| | | |
− | Some examples of Special Summon-only monsters include "[[Aqua Spirit]]", "[[XYZ-Dragon Cannon]]" and "[[Gem-Knight Ruby]]".
| + | They are distinguished from "[[Nomi]]" monsters, who also have printed Special Summoning procedures, but cannot be Special Summoned by effects even after they are properly Special Summoned. |
− | | |
− | ==Mechanics==
| |
− | A Special Summon-only monster cannot be Special Summoned from a non-[[public knowledge]] location (the [[hand]], [[Main Deck]], or [[face-down]] [[Extra Deck]]), except by the specified method, unless the card effect [[Ignoring the Summoning conditions|ignores the Summoning conditions]].
| |
− | | |
− | A Special Summon-only monster can be Special Summoned from a public knowledge location (the [[Graveyard]], while [[banish]]ed, [[face-up]] Extra Deck, [[Spell & Trap Zone]], or [[Pendulum Zone]]) by methods other than the specified one, as long as it was Special Summoned properly first. This contrasts to "[[Nomi]]" monsters, which can only be Summoned by the specified method, even after they have been properly Special Summoned.
| |
− | | |
− | If the Summon of a Special Summon Monster is [[negate]]d (such as by "[[Black Horn of Heaven]]"), it is not considered to have been properly Special Summoned, even if the negated Summon was a [[Flip Summon]] after being properly Special Summoned. If a Special Summon Monster is in a public knowledge location and was not Special Summoned properly, it cannot be Special Summoned by any means other than the proper method, even by ignoring the Summoning conditions.<ref name="PRB">{{cite book |author=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh!

− | After a Special Summon Monster is properly Special Summoned, as long as that Monster Card remains in a public knowledge location (on the [[field]] even if face-down, in the Graveyard, [[banish]]ed, or face-up in the [[Extra Deck]]), it is considered properly Special Summoned.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Example==
| |
− | A player [[banish]]es three [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monsters from the Graveyard to Special Summon "[[Dark Necrofear]]".
| |
− | *If "Dark Necrofear" is [[Send|sent]] to the Graveyard, such as by being destroyed by "[[Raigeki Break]]", it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with a card like "[[Monster Reborn]]".
| |
− | *If "Dark Necrofear" is banished, such as by "[[Dark Core]]", it can be Special Summoned while banished with a card like "[[Dimensional Inversion]]".
| |
− | | |
− | However, if it is moved to other locations, it cannot be Special Summoned except by the specified method.
| |
− | *If "Dark Necrofear" is [[return]]ed to the [[hand]] or [[Main Deck|Deck]], such as by "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]" or "[[Phoenix Wing Wind Blast]]", it cannot be Special Summoned by any way other than the proper way (except by a card or effect that [[Ignoring the Summoning conditions|ignores its Summoning conditions]], like "[[A Wild Monster Appears!]]").
| |
− | **Even if it is later sent to the Graveyard or banished, such as by "[[Graceful Charity]]" or "[[Allure of Darkness]]", it cannot be Special Summoned because it was not properly Special Summoned.
