Forum:A few things about Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String

Hello everybody. I wanted to know 3 things:

1-Does Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String's destruction Effect activate ONLY during end phase of the turn that comes immediately after the turn in which the effect of placing string counters has been activated, or does it activate during every opponent's end phase when there are string counters on the monsters?

2-I placed string counters on the monsters with my 1st Heaven's String, but it got destroyed before my opponent's end phase. However, I summon another Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String and use his effect to place other counters. If my opponent negates the effect of placing counters but Heaven's string remains on the field, does its destruction effect activate later?

3- It starts the same as in Case 2, But there's an opponent monster who hasn't received a string counter from my SECOND Number due to some effect, but still retains a string counter placed on him by the effect of my FIRST summoned Number 40 . Does the destruction effect of the SECOND Number 40 destroy ALL monsters with String Counters, even if the counters were placed on them by another Heaven's String? (The first one that got destroyed before my opponent's end phase) Thank you , i really appreciate it Imadmagician (talk • contribs) 18:28, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

1. The 2nd effect of Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String is triggered by the 1st. You've must have activated the 1st effect that places String Counters for the 2nd effect to activate during the End Phase of your opponent's next turn.

2a) Heaven's String has to be face-up on the field during the End Phase of your opponent's next turn for the 2nd effect to activate.

2b) If the 1st effect was negated, the 2nd effect will not activate.

3. The 2nd effect doesn't care from which monster those String Counters come from. As long as a monster has it, it will be destroyed.  HHT   - (Talk to the Turtle) 18:42, June 8, 2012 (UTC)
