Mentions in Other Rulings
- Barrel Behind the Door: You can activate "Barrel Behind the Door" against Trigger Effects like..."Giant Germ"...
- Barrel Behind the Door: If one player's "Giant Germ" attacks another "Giant Germ" so that both effects activating during the Damage Step, they form a chain. If both players control "Barrel Behind the Door", only 1 player can chain theirs. The turn player will be able to chain "Barrel Behind the Door" to the opponent's "Giant Germ" because it is Step 2 of the chain.
- Last Turn: If a player's Life Points are reduced to zero during the special Battle Phase of "Last Turn", or afterwards during the normal course of the turn, then that player loses. Example: "Giant Germ" is Special Summoned by the turn player and is destroyed as a result of battle, and the opponent had 500 or fewer Life Points when activating "Last Turn".
- Metalsilver Armor: When you have a monster equipped with "Metalsilver Armor", your opponent CAN activate the effect of ... "Giant Germ" because their effects do not target 1 card.
- Prohibition: If ... "Giant Germ" is on the field when declared by "Prohibition", when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard its effect activates, but the Special Summoned ... "Giant Germ" "cannot be used", so their effects will not be applied when they are destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard.
