Q&A Rulings
- Q: While "Mayosenju Hitot" is face-up in my Monster Zone, I activate "Hey, Trunade!" and return 2 Set cards on the field to the hand. In this case, how does the effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" that increases the ATK of my "Yosenju" monsters by 500 activate?
- A: In this scenario, if multiple cards are returned to the hand by the effect of "Hey, Trunade!", the effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" will activate once. (It does not activate once for each card returned to the hand.)[2]
- Q: When I Pendulum Summon "Mayosenju Daibak" and "Mayosenju Hitot" at the same time, I activate both of their effects that return cards to the hand. In this case, how does the effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" that increases the ATK of my "Yosenju" monsters by 500 activate?
- A: In this scenario, if cards are returned to the hand by the effects of "Mayosenju Daibak" and "Mayosenju Hitot" each, the second effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" will activate twice in a new Chain. (After both effects resolve, "Yosenju" monsters on your field will gain 1000 ATK.)[3]
- Q: When I Normal or Special Summon "Mayosenju Hitot", I activate its effect targeting my opponent's "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". In this case, "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" returns to the Extra Deck instead of the hand, but will the effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" that increases the ATK of my "Yosenju" monsters by 500 activate?
- A: In this scenario, since "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" did not return to the hand or Main Deck, the effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" does not activate.[4]
- Q: A "Destrudo the Lost Dragon's Frisson" that was Special Summoned by its own effect is face-up in my opponent's Monster Zone. In this situation, when I Normal or Special Summon "Mayosenju Hitot", if I activate its effect targeting that "Destrudo the Lost Dragon's Frisson" and it returns to the bottom of the Deck due to its own effect, will the effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" that increases the ATK of my "Yosenju" monsters by 500 activate?
- A: In this scenario, "Destrudo the Lost Dragon's Frisson" returns to the bottom of your opponent's Deck instead of their hand due to an opponent's card effect. Since it did not return to the Deck by your own card effect, the second effect of "Mayosenju Hitot" does not activate.[5][6]
