• Oracle of the Sun: The effect to add "Fire Ant Ascator" or "Supay" to your hand activates even during the Damage Step.

OCG Rulings

• The effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" which Special Summons a Level 5 monster is a Trigger Effect.

• The effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" which Special Summons a Level 5 monster and the effect which sends it to the Graveyard at the end of the turn are resolved as the same effect.

• The effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" does not start a Chain Link when it sends the monster to the Graveyard during the End Phase.

• The effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" targets one Level 5 monster in your Graveyard.

• The effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" only negates effects which are applied while the monster is face-up on the field and effects which activate on the field. Thus, if "Oracle of the Sun" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" and is destroyed, then its effect to add "Supay" or "Fire Ant Ascator" to your hand will activate and will not be negated.

• If a monster which was Special Summoned by the effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" is flipped face-down by an effect like "Book of Moon", then the effect "Its effect(s) is negated, and it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase of this turn." of "Fire Ant Ascator" is no longer applied, and the Special Summoned monster's effects are now applied.

• If a monster like "Catapult Turtle" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Fire Ant Ascator", then if it activates its effect and Tributes itself, then the effect of "Catapult Turtle" is negated since it activated on the field, even though "Catapult Turtle" is no longer on the field.

Mentions in Other Rulings

• Call of the Reaper: The effect of "Call of the Reaper" targets one "Supay" or one "Fire Ant Ascator" in your Graveyard.

• Oracle of the Sun: The effect of "Oracle of the Sun" which adds "Supay" or "Fire Ant Ascator" to your hand will activate even if "Oracle of the Sun" on the field is destroyed during the Damage Step.

• Oracle of the Sun: If "Oracle of the Sun" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Fire Ant Ascator", then during the End Phase "Oracle of the Sun" is sent to the Graveyard. This is not the same as "destroying" it, so the effect which adds "Supay" or "Fire Ant Ascator" to your hand will not activate.
