Judge Program Forum Rulings
 | These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 1] |
- If "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed simultaneously with other "Six Samurai" monsters by an effect like "Dark Hole", the effect of "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" activates and adds 1 "Six Samurai" monster that is currently in the Graveyard to the hand. This does include the "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" and the other "Six Samurai" monsters that were destroyed by "Dark Hole".[1]
OCG Rulings
- When "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is sent to the Graveyard, the effect which adds 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your Graveyard to your hand starts a chain. It targets the monster to be added to your hand.[2]
- If "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed and banished, such as by "Macro Cosmos" or "Banisher of the Light", the effect which adds 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your Graveyard to your hand still activates.[2][3] The effect activates in the Graveyard if it is sent to the Graveyard, and activates in the Banished Zone if the monster is banished.[3]
- If "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed by an opponent's effect while in the hand or deck, the effect still activates.[4]
- You can Special Summon "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" from your hand when you control two or more "Six Samurai" monsters.[5]
- When "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, it can return itself to the hand.[6]
- When the effect of "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" which adds a "Six Samurai" monster from your Graveyard to your hand is activated, the effect of "Royal Oppression" cannot be chained because the effect of "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" does not Special Summon a monster.[7]
Previously Official Rulings
| These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[8] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai's" second effect targets 1 "Six SamuraI" [sic] monster in your Graveyard. If "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is in your Graveyard, it can target itself.
- If "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed by your opponent's card effect while in your hand or your Deck, its effect activates.
- If you Special Summon "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" and your opponent negates the Special Summon and destroys it with their "Royal Oppression", "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai's" effect activates. If your opponent uses the effect of your "Royal Oppression" to negate the Special Summon, "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai's" effect does not activate.
- If your opponent activates an effect to destroy one of your "Six Samurai" monsters and you use the effect of the "Six Samurai" monster to destroy your "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai", "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai's" effect doesn't activate because it was destroyed by your "Six Samurai" monster and not by your opponent's card effect.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Hero Mask: If you select "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" and change its name with "Hero Mask's" effect, and afterwards you Summon another "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai", when "Hero Mask's" effect disappears in the End Phase the Summoned "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed because you cannot control more than 1 face-up "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai".
