| − | Both players each | + | Both players each control a "[[Sangan]]", and a "[[Peten the Dark Clown]]". The effect of "[[Dark Hole]]" resolves, destroying all monsters on the field. The last thing to happen is the resolution of Dark Hole, and all monsters on the field being destroyed, so all effects can be legally activated. Following the order for simultaneous effects, assuming that both players want to activate all their optional effects, we end up with the following chain: |
| − | + | Chain Link 1: Turn player’s "[[Sangan]]".<br /> | |
| − | + | Chain Link 2: Opponent’s "[[Sangan]]".<br /> | |

In this case, [[the last thing to happen]] is the [[Fusion Summon]] of "[[Elemental HERO Gaia]]", so the optional "when" effect of "[[Vanguard of the Dragon]]" cannot be activated. The mandatory effect of "[[Elemental HERO Gaia]]" is activated as Chain Link 1, and the optional effect of "[[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist]]" is Chain Link 2. |
