→Flipping the face-down monster face-up: saving changes
** Effects that would prevent the flipped monster from being targeted for attacks, such as the effect of "[[Command Knight]]", do not apply at this time, since the monster has already been selected as an attack target. If the monster survives the Damage Step, its effect will protect itself from any future 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 the Damage Step proceeds normally in this case until after damage calculation.<ref name="Kozaky">{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=I&last=K |title=Individual Card Rulings [I-K] |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 name="Mammoth">{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=U&last=Z |title=Individual Card Rulings [U-Z] |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>
*** The same applies for monsters with conflicting Types/Attributes while "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" or "[[Gozen Match]]" is active, as well as monsters with an [[Unclassified Effect]] that states "You can only control 1 ''<nowiki>'...'</nowiki>''" or "You can only control 1 ''<nowiki>'...'</nowiki>'' monster" (if there is another relevant monster on the field that conflicts with that Unclassified Effect); the fates of those monsters are determined after damage calculation.<ref name="ATiger">{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C] |publisher=UDE |at=Amazoness Tiger |accessdate=13 October 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref><ref name="Rivalry">{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=P&last=R |title=Individual Card Rulings [P-R] |publisher=UDE |at=Rivalry of Warlords |accessdate=13 October 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220140220/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=P&last=R |archivedate=20 February 2009}}</ref>
* Regardless of whether or not the attacked monster was initially face-down, if the attacked monster is changed to face-down Defense Position at this point or a later point in the Damage Step (such as by the effect of "[[Gemini Counter]]"), it will be immediately flipped face-up again.<ref>{{cite book |last=Konami |title=Stardust Overdrive Sneak Peek – Card Rulings (Version 1.0) |url=http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/gameplay/rulings/SOVR_sneak_ruling.pdf |at=Gemini Counter}}</ref>
