9600: Effect Monster > Junk Blader
- Removing from play one "Junk" monster from your Graveyard is a cost to activate the effect of "Junk Blader".
- The ATK-increasing effect of "Junk Blader" can be activated multiple times in one turn.
- If you activate the effect of "Junk Blader" twice, then its ATK is increased by 800.
9601: Effect Monster >
- "[[:]]" is a Special Summon monster.
- The effect of "[[:]]" which equips a monster to it is an Ignition Effect.
- The effect of "[[:]]" targets the one face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field which will be equipped to this card as an Equip Card.
- [[:Card Rulings:]]
9602: Effect Monster > Transforming Sphere
- The effect of "Transforming Sphere" which equips a face-up Defense Position monster to it is an Ignition Effect.
- The effect of "Transforming Sphere" targets the one monster on the opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position which will be equipped to it as an Equip Card.
9603: Effect Monster > The Tyrant Neptune
- The text "You can Tribute Summon or Set this card by Tributing 1 monster." of "The Tyrant Neptune" is a procedure for Summoning. It is not treated as the effect of an Effect Monster.
- When "The Tyrant Neptune" is successfully Tribute Summoned, its effect activates and targets one of the Tributed monster which is in the Graveyard.
- After "The Tyrant Neptune" has been Tribute Summoned and has gained the name and effects of a Tributed monster in the Graveyard, its effect does not continuously targets that monster.
- The ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" are increased by the printed ATK and DEF of the monster which was Tributed from the field.
- Example: If "Zoma the Spirit" (1800 ATK / 500 DEF) is Tributed for "The Tyrant Neptune", then the ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" is increased by 1800, and its DEF is increased by 500.
- Example: If a "Rose Token" (800 ATK / 800 DEF) from "Black Garden" is Tributed for "The Tyrant Neptune", then the ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" are each increased by 800.
- Example: If a "Emissary of Darkness Token" (? ATK / ? DEF) from "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" is Tributed for "The Tyrant Neptune", then the ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" do not increase.
9605: If "The Tyrant Neptune" is equipped with "Megamorph", then what does its ATK become?
- If "The Tyrant Neptune" is equipped with "Megamorph", then "Megamorph" will halve its Original ATK, and afterwards the ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" will increase by its own effect. Thus, its Original ATK of 0 will be halved to 0, and then its ATK will increase by the total ATK of the Tributed monsters.
- If "Tragoedia" is equipped with "Megamorph", then "Tragoedia"'s Original ATK of 0 is halved to 0, and then its ATK increases by the number of cards in your hand x600.
- When activating the effect of "The Tyrant Neptune", you can only target one of the monsters which was Tributed to the Graveyard for its Tribute Summon. You cannot target a monster in the Graveyard which was Tributed for another purpose, such as for the activation cost of a different effect.
- When resolving the effect of "The Tyrant Neptune" which activates when "The Tyrant Neptune" is Tribute Summoned, if the targeted monster is not in the Graveyard - for example, the effect of "D.D. Crow" was Chained - then "The Tyrant Neptune" does not have its name changed, and it does not gain the monster's effects. Also, the effect which increases "The Tyrant Neptune"'s ATK and DEF was applied when "The Tyrant Neptune" is successfully Tribute Summoned, so the effect will continue to be applied.
9608: Does the ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" become 0 if it is negated by "Skill Drain"?
- If "Skill Drain" is active, then the ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" becomes 0, and will remain at 0 even if "Skill Drain" is removed from the field.
- If you Tribute "Mosaic Manticore" for the Tribute Summon of "The Tyrant Neptune", then during your next Standby Phase you cannot activate the effect which Special Summons the monster(s) Tributed for the Tribute Summon.
1X
- The damage inflicted by the effect of "Lightning Warrior" is based on the number of cards in your opponent's hand when the effect resolves.
- Example: Your opponent has two cards in his hand, and your "Lightning Warrior" attacks your opponent's "Sangan". The effect of "Lightning Warrior" activates as Chain Link 1, and the effect of "Sangan" activates as Chain Link 2. Resolving backwards, the effect of "Sangan" adds a card to your opponent's hand, and afterwards the effect of "Lightning Warrior" resolves. At this time, your opponent has three cards in his hand, so your opponent takes 900 damage.
9611: If the monster is face-down when resolving the effect of "Transforming Sphere", then does it get equipped?
- If an effect like "Book of Moon" is Chained to the effect of "Transforming Sphere" so that the monster is face-down when resolving the effect of "Transforming Sphere", then that face-down monster is still equipped to "Transforming Sphere". The monster is equipped face-down to "Transforming Sphere", so the ATK of "Transforming Sphere" does not increase. During the End Phase, the face-down monster is Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position.
- You can Special Summon "[[:]]" by removing from play a Token Monster, such as a "Sheep Token".
- You can remove from play a Dragon-Type Token Monster from the field to Special Summon "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon".
- Card Rulings:Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Card Rulings:Scapegoat, [[:Card Rulings:]]
- If you Tribute "Mobius the Frost Monarch" for the Tribute Summon of "The Tyrant Neptune", then after "The Tyrant Neptune" gains the effect of "Mobius the Frost Monarch" it is no longer "When this card is successfully Summoned", so you cannot activate the effect of "Mobius the Frost Monarch" which destroys up to two cards on the field.
9614: Can the effect of "Junk Blader" be activated multiple times in one turn?
- You can activate the effect of "Junk Blader" multiple times in one turn.
- If "The Tyrant Neptune" is targeted by "Shrink", then its Original ATK is halved by the effect of "Shrink", and afterwards the ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" increases by its own effect. Thus, its Original ATK of 0 is halved to 0, and then its ATK increases by the ATK of the Tributed monsters.
- If you Tribute a monster owned by your opponent for the Tribute Summon of "The Tyrant Neptune" - for example, via the effect of "Soul Exchange" - then the effect of "The Tyrant Neptune" can target that monster to have "The Tyrant Neptune" gain that monster's name and effects, even though that monster is in your opponent's Graveyard.
9617: Is the effect of "Sky Scourge Invicil" applied if "The Tyrant Neptune" gains it?
- Suppose you Tribute "Sky Scourge Invicil" and a LIGHT Fairy-Type monster to Tribute Summon "The Tyrant Neptune". If you have "The Tyrant Neptune" gain the effect of "Sky Scourge Invicil", then the "● LIGHT Fairy-Type monster:" effect of "Sky Scourge Invicil" is not applied.
9618: Does "Skill Drain" negate the name and the effects gained by "The Tyrant Neptune"?
- After "The Tyrant Neptune" gains the name and effects of a monster, if "Skill Drain" is activated, then "The Tyrant Neptune" keeps its changed name. If "The Tyrant Neptune" gained a Continuous Effect, then "Skill Drain" negates that effect. If "The Tyrant Neptune" gained an Ignition, Trigger, or Quick Effect, then the effect can be activated, but "Skill Drain" will negate the effect when it resolves. Furthermore, the effect of "The Tyrant Neptune" which increases its ATK & DEF is negated, so its ATK & DEF become 0.
9619: Does the ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" increase by the total ATK and DEF?
- The ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" is increased by the total ATK(s) of the Tributed monster(s); the DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" is increased by the total DEF(s) of the Tributed monster(s). You do not increase the ATK by the combined ATK and DEF.
- Example #1: "Sangan" (1000 ATK / 600 DEF) is Tributed for "The Tyrant Neptune". The ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" increases by 1000, and the DEF increases by 600. (You do not increase the ATK and DEF by 1600 each.)
- Example #2: "Sangan" (1000 ATK / 600 DEF) and "Light and Darkness Dragon" (2800 ATK / 2400 DEF) are Tributed for "The Tyrant Neptune". The ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" increases by 3800, and the DEF increases by 3000. (You do not increase the ATK and DEF by 6800 each.)
2X
9620: The ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" increases by that of the Tributed monster at what time?
- The ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" are increased by the printed ATK and DEF of the monster which was Tributed from the field.
- Example: If "The Tyrant Neptune" is Summoned by Tributing a "Beast King Barbaros" which was Summoned without Tributes (1900 ATK / 1200 DEF), then the ATK of "The Tyrant Neptune" becomes 3000, and the DEF becomes 1200. If you Tributed two copies of "Beast King Barbaros", then the ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" will increase by 6000 and 2400, respectively.
- If "Transforming Sphere" is equipped with a monster like "Vanity's Fiend" or with a Special Summon Monster like "Dark Armed Dragon" that cannot be Special Summoned, then during the End Phase the effect to Special Summon the equipped monster to your opponent's field still activates. However, the monster cannot be Special Summoned, so it is sent to the Graveyard. Similarly, if you cannot Special Summon during the End Phase - for example, if the effect of "Vanity's Fiend" is active, or if you activated "Scapegoat" during this turn - then the effect of "Transforming Sphere" still activates during the End Phase, but the equipped monster is sent to the Graveyard since it cannot be Special Summoned.
9622: Is discarding a card for "Transforming Sphere" a cost?
- Discarding one card from your hand for "Transforming Sphere" is a effect, which occurs when resolving the effect. It is not a cost.
- When resolving the effect of "Transforming Sphere", if you cannot discard a card from your hand, then you do not apply the effect which equips an opponent's monster to it.
- When resolving the effect of "Transforming Sphere", if "Transforming Sphere" or the opponent's targeted monster is not on the field, then you still discard from your hand.
- If the effect of a monster like "[[:]]" or "[[:]]" or "[[:]]" is negated by an effect like "Skill Drain" or "Forbidden Chalice", then its effect "If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card." is also negated. Thus, "[[:]]" won't be destroyed if the Field Spell Card is removed from being face-up on the field.
- The effect of "[[:]]" only prevents Field Spell Cards from being destroyed by cards effects, such as that of "Heavy Storm" or "Mystical Space Typhoon". Thus, if your opponent activates a new Field Spell Card while you already have a Field Spell Card active, then your Field Spell Card is destroyed.
- Card Rulings:Heavy Storm, [[:Card Rulings:]], Card Rulings:Mystical Space Typhoon
9625: Does "Judgment Dragon" destroy both "" and the Field Spell Card?
- Suppose you control "[[:]]" and a Field Spell Card. If your opponent activates an effect like that of "Demise, King of Armageddon" or "Final Destiny" or "Judgment Dragon" which would destroy "[[:]]" and the Field Spell Card simultaneously, then the Field Spell Card is not destroyed since it cannot be destroyed by card effects.
- Card Rulings:Demise, King of Armageddon, Card Rulings:Final Destiny, Card Rulings:Judgment Dragon, [[:Card Rulings:]]
9626: If the effect of "" is negated, then can other monsters attack?
- If the effect of a monster like "[[:]]" or "[[:]]" or "[[:]]" is negated by an effect like "Skill Drain" or "Forbidden Chalice", then its effect which prevents your other monsters from attacking is also negated, so you can attack with a monster other than "[[:]]".
- You cannot Special Summon a Synchro Monster if it was not properly Synchro Summoned previously, such as if it was removed from play directly from the Extra Deck. Thus, you cannot use an effect like "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation" or "Return from the Different Dimension" to Special Summon a "Stardust Dragon" which was removed from play to Special Summon "[[:]]". Also, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" are Normal Summon monsters, so they may be Special Summoned even if they are removed from play directly from the Deck.

- After "Call of the Haunted" Special Summons a monster, if "Call of the Haunted" is negated by an effect like "Royal Decree" or "Trap Stun", then the Special Summoned monster remains on the field and is not destroyed.
