Pendulum Text

  • The "You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 of your banished Dragon monsters; destroy this card, and if you do, add that monster to your hand" effect starts a chain. (It is an effect to add 1 Dragon monster that is banished face-up to your hand. This effect can only be activated in the Main Phase.)[1]
  • Paying 1000 life points is a cost to activate the effect to destroy this card and add 1 banished Dragon monster to your hand.[1]
  • "Destroy this card" and "add that monster to your hand" are considered to happen simultaneously.[1]

Monster Text

  • The "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand or Extra Deck) by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your GY. You can only Special Summon "Chaos Emperor, the Dragon of Armageddon" once per turn this way" are not effects. It is the conditions that describe how to play a Special Summon Monster. (Banishing a LIGHT and a DARK attribute monsters do not create a chain link.[1]
  • The "Once per turn: You can pay half your LP; send as many cards you control as possible to the GY, except from the Extra Monster Zone, and if you do, send cards your opponent controls to the GY, up to the number of your cards sent to the GY, then, inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card sent to their GY by this card's effect" effect is an ignition effect. (This effect does not target. Paying half your life points is a cost to activate this effect.)[1]
  • "send as many cards you control as possible to the GY, except from the Extra Monster Zone" and "send cards your opponent controls to the GY, up to the number of your cards sent to the GY" are considered to happen simultaneously, but "inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card sent to their GY by this card's effect" happens sequentially after these actions.[1]
  • The effect "If this face-up Special Summoned card leaves the field, return it to the bottom of the Deck" is not an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, nor a continuous effect. (It will also apply during the damage step.)[1]
