TCG Rulings

• If “DNA Surgery” is making all monsters on the field into Dragons, and “Hyper Synchron” is used to Synchro Summon a monster that was not originally a Dragon, the effects of “Hyper Synchron” still activate. So the Synchro Monster gains 800 ATK and is removed [sic] during the End Phase.

• If the Synchro Monster is flipped face-down, the effects of “Hyper Synchron” are wiped, so the Synchro Monster will not gain 800 ATK or be removed from play [sic].

• If the End Phase is skipped, the Synchro Monster will be removed [sic] during the next End Phase.

• If “Imperial Iron Wall” is active, the Synchro Monster will not be removed [sic]. However, if “Imperial Iron Wall” is destroyed, the Synchro Monster will be removed [sic] during the next End Phase.

• If the Synchro Monster is not removed from play [sic] for some reason, it still retains the +800 ATK.

• The +800 ATK boost and the condition to remove the Synchro Monster from play [sic] resolve as a single Trigger Effect. This is not an effect that targets.

• Removing the Synchro Monster from play [sic] during the End Phase does not start a chain.

OCG Rulings

• The effect does not target.

• Banishing the monster is part of the effect which increases its ATK by 800. Banishing the monster does not start another chain.

• If the Synchro Monster is not banished during the End Phase, it is banished during the next End Phase.

• While "DNA Surgery" is active and declaring "Dragon", when you Synchro Summon a non-Dragon-Type monster with "Hyper Synchron", then the effect of "Hyper Synchron" activates. The Synchro Monster will gain +800 ATK and will be banished during the End Phase.

• When "Hyper Synchron" is used to Synchro Summon a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster, if the Synchro Monster is flipped face-down or leaves the field, then the effect of "Hyper Synchron" is no longer applied. The monster no longer gains +800 ATK and will not be banished during the End Phase, even if the Synchro Monster later becomes face-up on the field.

• The effects of "Hyper Synchron" and "Arcane Apprentice" activate (and start a Chain) after the Synchro Summon is successful, at the time that "When this card is successfully Special Summoned..." effects activate.

• If "Imperial Iron Wall" is active during the End Phase, a Synchro Summon Summoned by "Hyper Synchron" will not be banished. However, if "Imperial Iron Wall" leaves the field during a later turn, the Synchro Monster will be banished during the End Phase of that turn.

• If a Synchro Monster uses "Hyper Synchron" as a Synchro Material Monster and it is not banished during the End Phase because of "Imperial Iron Wall" etc, then it still has the +800 ATK during subsequent turns.
