Card Rulings:Ryu Senshi
OCG Rulings
- "A Fusion Summon of this monster can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters." is not treated as the effect of a monster.[1]
- When Fusion Summoning "Ryu Senshi", you cannot apply the effect of "King of the Swamp".[1]
- The "As long as this card remains face-up on the field, negate the effect of a Normal Trap Card by paying 1000 Life Points." effect is a Quick Effect. (It does not target. Paying 1000 Life Points is a cost to activate this effect. It must be chained to the activation of Normal Trap Cards. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
- The "Negate the effect of a Spell Card that targets this card and destroy it." effect is a Continuous Effect.
- "Double Snare" can destroy cards like "The Dragon's Bead", "Tyrant Dragon", "Fiend Skull Dragon", "Jinzo", "Royal Decree", and "Sorcerer of Dark Magic". It can target "Ryu Senshi", but "Double Snare" will be negated and destroyed.[2]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[3] 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.

- You can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard with "Monster Reborn" because its effect that negates Spell Cards is not active while it is in the Graveyard (but only if was properly Fusion Summoned originally).
- The effect of this card will not negate "Creature Swap", "Fissure", "Smashing Ground", "Dark Hole", "Raigeki", or similar cards that do not target.
- If you try to equip "Fusion Sword Murasame Blade" to this monster, it will be negated and destroyed.
