- While "Heat Wave" is active, "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" and other Gemini Monsters cannot be Gemini Summoned. Also, Gemini Monsters in the hand cannot be summoned to the field.
- If more than 1 of your cards is banished from the same place, then you can still only banish up to 2 of your opponent’s cards from that same place.
- If your cards are banished from different places at the same time, then you can banish up to 2 of your opponent’s cards from each of those places.
- "Embodiment of Apophis" is treated as a Normal Monster so it can be Special Summoned during the turn that "Heat Wave" is active.
- "Zoma the Spirit" is treated as an Effect Monster so it cannot be Special Summoned during the turn that "Heat Wave" is active.
- The Sheep Tokens are treated as Normal Monsters so Scapegoat can be activated during the turn that "Heat Wave" is active.

10221: How long does the monster need to be a "Scrap" monster in order to Special Summon "Scrap Searcher"?
- The "Scrap" monster that is destroyed must be a "Scrap" monster in the Graveyard as well as on the field.
- Example: Suppose that "Phantom of Chaos" is copying a "Scrap" monster, and is destroyed. It is no longer a "Scrap" monster when in the Graveyard, so you cannot activate the effect of "Scrap Searcher".
- "You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card" is not treated as an effect. Thus, if "Scrap Lube" is removed from the field or is negated (by "Imperial Order", etc.) in the same turn that it is activated, then you still cannot conduct your Battle Phase.
- When resolving the effect "this card's maximum number of attacks this turn is equal to the number of Tuner monsters revealed.", if "Shooting Star Dragon" is no longer face-up on the field, then you still reveal the five cards.
- If "Macro Cosmos" is active and a monster is destroyed by "Man-Eater Bug"'s effect and banished, then you cannot apply the effect of "Mirror of the Ice Barrier", since the effect of "Man-Eater Bug" does not banish monsters.
10225: Can "Shooting Star Dragon" still be Special Summoned if its effect cannot negate the attack?
- When resolving the "negate the attack" effect, if you cannot negate the attack, then during the End Phase "Shooting Star Dragon" is still Special Summoned.
- If you Flip Summon a "Karakuri" monster, then a Karakuri Counter will be placed on this card.
- If you flip a "Karakuri" monster face-down with "Book of Moon", then a Karakuri Counter will not be placed.
10227: At what time do you place the Spellstone Counter on "Powersink Stone"?
- You place the Spellstone Counter when the monster’s effect finishes resolving. That is, when the effect initially activates, do not yet place the Spellstone Counter.
- If control of one or more of the targets is switched before this effect resolves, then you neither destroy your card nor return the opponent's cards to his hand.
10229: Can you activate "D2 Shield" during the Damage Step?
- You can activate this card during the Damage Step, as long as you do it before damage calculation.
- If you activate multiple copies of this card on the same monster, then the monster's DEF will just be double its Original DEF.

10231: Can you activate "Miracle Synchro Fusion" if the name of "Phantom of Chaos" is "Naturia Barkion"?
- If the name of "Phantom of Chaos" is being treated as "Naturia Barkion" or "Naturia Beast", then you can activate "Miracle Synchro Fusion" and use it as a Fusion Material for "Naturia Exterio".
10232: Is "Mine Mole" banished if it leaves the field while face-down?
10233: If "Beast Rising" is no longer there, then does the raised ATK return to its previous value?
- "Beast Rising" does not continue to target monsters that gained ATK from its effect. Thus, if "Beast Rising" is removed from the field, then the monster's ATK does not return to its previous value.
- Suppose that you activate "Skill Drain" while "Naturia Bamboo Shoot" is on the field. When "Skill Drain" is removed from the field, you re-apply the effect of "Naturia Bamboo Shoot".
- The "select and destroy 1 "Scrap" monster" and "send 1 Tuner to the Graveyard" effects are treated as resolving simultaneously.
10236: With the effect of "Vylon Sigma"' can you equip an Equip Card with an activation cost?
- You can use the effect of "Vylon Sigma" to equip it with an Equip Spell Card that has an activation cost, such as "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou". If you do so, then you do not have to pay the card's activation cost.
10237: The ATK-increasing effect of "Amazoness Trainee" is applied for how long?
- The ATK gains last as long as "Amazoness Trainee" remains face-up on the field. In addition, each time "Amazoness Trainee" destroys a monster by battle it gains an additional +200 ATK.
- "Majestic Star Dragon"'s effects during the End Phase all resolve as part of the same effect. So, if "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" gains the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon", then during the End Phase you can return "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" to the Extra Deck to Special Summon "Stardust Dragon".
10239: Can you Chain "Solemn Warning" to "Starlight Road"?

- When Special Summoning "Gem-Knight Ruby" from the Extra Deck, you can only use the Fusion Materials which are written on the card. You cannot use "Goddess with the Third Eye" as a Fusion Material.
- When resolving the effect of "Effect Veiler", if the targeted monster is face-down, then do not apply the effect of "Effect Veiler" and do not negate the targeted monster's effect.
- Example: "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" activates its effect, and "Effect Veiler" is Chained and targets "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", and then "Book of Moon" is Chained also targeting "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier". Resolving backwards, "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" is flipped face-down, so that "Effect Veiler" cannot negate its effect.
10244: If the monster targeted by "Scrapstorm" is no longer there, then do you still draw?
- If an effect is Chained to "Scrapstorm" so that the targeted monster is no longer on the field, then you still send a "Scrap" monster to the Graveyard and draw a card.
- You resolve the effect normally if the targeted monster is face-down at resolution.
- The effects do no resolve simultaneously. You send a "Scrap" monster to the Graveyard, and then draw, and lastly destroy the targeted monster.
