* If a monster is flipped face-up and it has a [[Continuous Effect]], then you generally apply the Continuous Effect. This includes the [[Continuous Effect]]s of monsters like “"[[Star Boy]]” " and “"[[Jinzo]]”", that apply as long as the monster is remains face-up on the field.** Effects that would prevent the flipped monster from being attackedtargeted for attacks, like “such as the effect of "[[Command Knight]]’s” effect", are do not applied apply at this time, because since the monster is has already being been attacked. If the monster survives the battle, its effect will be applied against protect itself from any following [[battle]]sfuture attacks.**If the flipped monster has a [[Continuous Effect]] that causes it to destroy itself under certain conditions ("[[Giant Kozaky]]", "[[Zombie Mammoth]]", etc.), then the monster is not destroyed yet, and damage calculation is still conducted. If the monster is destroyed by the battle, its effect is not applied. If the monster survives the battle, it is destroyed by its effect after damage calculation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=I&last=K |title=Individual Card Rulings [I-K&#93; |publisher=UDE |at=Giant Kozaky |accessdate=22 August 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090226221419/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=I&last=K |archivedate=26 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=U&last=Z |title=Individual Card Rulings [U-Z&#93; |publisher=UDE |at=Zombie Mammoth |accessdate=22 August 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090226215920/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=U&last=Z |archivedate=26 February 2009}}</ref>
