Q: If my opponent activates Crush Card Virus, and a Kozmo Sliprider in my hand is destroyed, can I activate the effect of Kozmo Sliprider that Special Summons a Level 4 or lower “Kozmo” monster from my Deck?

Q: I activate the effect of Kozmo Strawman that Special Summons one of my banished “Kozmo” monsters, and Special Summon Kozmo Goodwitch with its effects negated. Afterward, if I banish Kozmo Goodwitch to activate its effect that Special Summons a Level 5 or higher “Kozmo” monster from my hand, will that effect be negated?
A: The effects of a monster Special Summoned by the effect of Kozmo Strawman are negated if they activate or apply on the field. Although Kozmo Goodwitch is banished as the cost to activate its own effect in this scenario, since it is an effect that activated on the field, it will be negated and the Level 5 or higher “Kozmo” monster cannot be Special Summoned from your hand.

Q: I activate the effect of Kozmo Strawman that Special Summons one of my banished “Kozmo” monsters, and Special Summon Kozmo DOG Fighter. If Kozmo DOG Fighter is equipped with Heavy Mech Support Platform by the time I reach my End Phase, what happens?

In that case, the effects of Kozmo DOG Fighter will still be negated while it is face-up on the field, and it will be destroyed again during the next End Phase.

Q: I activate the effect of Kozmo Delta Shuttle that reduces the ATK and DEF of a monster on the field, by sending Kozmo Sliprider from my Deck to the Graveyard. If my opponent chains the effect of D.D. Crow and banishes Kozmo Sliprider from the Graveyard, will the effect of Kozmo Delta Shuttle be applied?
A: When resolving the effect of Kozmo Delta Shuttle, even if the “Kozmo” monster sent to the Graveyard to activate the effect is no longer in the Graveyard, the targeted monster still loses ATK and DEF equal to the sent monster’s Level × 100.

Q: When a Pendulum Monster is activated as a Spell Card in the Pendulum Zone, can the effect of Kozmo Dark Planet that negates the activations of Spell Cards be activated?
A: Activating a Pendulum Monster from the hand to the Pendulum Zone is considered the activation of a Spell Card, so it can be negated by the effect of Kozmo Dark Planet. Since a Pendulum Monster whose activation was negated is not treated as a card on the field, it will be sent to the Graveyard when it is destroyed.

Q: A Kozmoll Wickedwitch on my field is equipped with 2 copies of Kozmo Lightsword. In that case, how will the effects of each Kozmo Lightsword be applied?
A: If 2 copies of Kozmo Lightsword are equipped to the same monster, each copy will increase the equipped monster’s ATK and DEF by 500, so Kozmoll Wickedwitch gains a total of 1000 ATK in this scenario. Note that the effects that allow the equipped monster to attack monsters twice during each Battle Phase and inflict piercing battle damage to the opponent are not applied differently if multiple copies of Kozmo Lightsword are equipped. (In other words, the number of times the monster can attack does not change, and piercing battle damage it inflicts is not doubled.)

Q: While the effects of Necrovalley are applying, can I activate Kozmojo?
A: While the effects of Necrovalley are applying, you can still activate Kozmojo. In that case, the targeted monster is destroyed normally, but since you cannot banish any cards from the Graveyard, you must banish 1 card on your opponent’s field.

Q: Kozmourning is face-up on my field. In this situation, if a Kozmo Goodwitch is unaffected by Spell/Trap effects due to the effect of Forbidden Lance, and it destroys an opponent’s monster by battle, will the effect of Kozmourning shuffle the destroyed monster into the Deck? Also, if a Kozmo Goodwitch destroys an opponent’s monster that is unaffected by Spell/Trap effects due to the effect of Forbidden Lance, will the effect of Kozmourning shuffle that monster into the Deck?
Q: The effect of Kozmourning that shuffles monsters into the Deck if they are destroyed by battle with your “Kozmo” monsters is not an effect that affects monsters on the field.

Q: Kozmourning is face-up on my field, and Macro Cosmos is face-up on my opponent’s field. In this situation, if a “Kozmo” monster on my field destroys an opponent’s monster by battle, will the effect of Kozmourning shuffle the destroyed monster into the Deck?
A: If the effects of both Macro Cosmos and Kozmourning are applying, an opponent’s monster that is destroyed by battle with a “Kozmo” monster on your field is shuffled into the Deck instead of being banished.

A: While the effect of Kozmourning is applying, if a “Kozmo” monster on your field battles an opponent’s monster with the same ATK and both are destroyed by battle, the opponent’s monster will be shuffled into the Deck normally. In this scenario, your Kozmo Sliprider is sent to the Graveyard normally, but your opponent’s Manticore of Darkness is shuffled into the Deck instead.

Q: I activate the second effect of Kozmourning by banishing it from my Graveyard, so that the next battle damage I would take from a battle involving a “Kozmo” monster on my field increases my Life Points instead. In this situation, if my Kozmo Dark Planet attacks my opponent directly, but my opponent activates Dimension Wall, will the effect of Kozmourning be applied?
A: If your opponent activates Dimension Wall, you take any battle damage your opponent would take from this attack. In this scenario, since you would take battle damage from a battle involving a “Kozmo” monster on your field, the effect of Kozmourning that increases your Life Points instead will be applied. (You gain 4000 Life Points in this case instead of taking 4000 damage.)

Q: An Attack Position Kozmo Forerunner and Kozmo Sliprider are face-up on my field, and an Attack Position Kozmo Dark Destroyer is face-up on my opponent’s field. During my opponent’s Main Phase 1, I activate the second effect of Kozmourning by banishing it from my Graveyard, so that the next battle damage I would take from a battle involving a “Kozmo” monster on my field increases my Life Points instead. During the Battle Phase, if my opponent’s Kozmo Dark Destroyer attacks my Kozmo Forerunner, can I activate the effect of Kuriboh during damage calculation?
A: In this scenario, if the second effect of Kozmourning is applying, you cannot activate the effect of Kuriboh. When your opponent’s Kozmo Dark Destroyer battles your Kozmo Forerunner, you gain 200 Life Points instead of taking 200 battle damage.

Q: Can I Special Summon a Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju from my hand to my opponent’s field by Tributing a face-up Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju on my opponent’s field?
A: The third effect of every “Kaiju” monster states that a player can only control 1 “Kaiju” monster. In this scenario, since Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju is face-up on your opponent’s field, Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju cannot be Special Summoned to your opponent’s field. (Note that as long as there are no “Kaiju” monsters on your side of the field, you can still Special Summon Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju to your side of the field using its second Special Summon effect.)

In this scenario, since Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju is face-up on your field, you cannot Tribute Summon a Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju in face-up Attack Position.

Note that if you activated Interrupted Kaiju Slumber and Special Summoned Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju to your opponent’s side of the field, your opponent will be able to activate the effect of Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju.

Q: Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju is face-up on my field.

A: In this scenario, the effect of Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju resolves while the effect of Imperial Iron Wall is applying. The card whose effect activation was negated is not banished. As an example, if your opponent activated a monster effect on the field, or the effect of a Continuous Spell/Trap Card on the field, the effect of Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju will negate its activation, but that card will remain face-up on the field. But the effect of Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju had been chained to the activation of a Spell/Trap Card, since the activation is negated, that card is sent to the Graveyard.

Q: I activated the effect of Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju, and the ATK and DEF of a Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju on my opponent’s field were halved to 1500 and 600 respectively. During the next turn, if I activate the effect of Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju once again, does it halve the current ATK and DEF even further?
A: If the effect of Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju was applied, the ATK and DEF of the affected monsters remains halved as long as they are face-up on the field. Therefore, if the effect of Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju is activated once again during the next turn, the halved values are halved even further. (In this scenario, Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju will have 750 ATK and 300 DEF.)

Also, if my opponent activates the effect of Breakthrough Skill from their Graveyard, can I chain the effect of Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju to negate its effect?
A: The effects of Effect Veiler and Breakthrough Skill are both effects that target exactly 1 monster, so you can chain the effect of Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju.

A: The effect of Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran that equips a “Kaiju” monster to it does not target; the “Kaiju” monster is chosen when the effect resolves.

(In this scenario, the equipped Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.) Therefore, Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran only gains ATK due to the effect of Forbidden Chalice, so its ATK becomes 400.

(In this scenario, Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran gains 2700 ATK as a result of being equipped with Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju, but since it also loses 800 ATK due to the effect of Forbidden Lance, its ATK will be 1900.)

A: The effect of Kyoutou Waterfront that adds a “Kaiju” monster from your Deck to your hand does not remove Kaiju Counters. When you reach the Main Phase of your next turn, if Kyoutou Waterfront still has 3 or more Kaiju Counters on it, you can activate its effect again.

Q: A Kyoutou Waterfront with 3 Kaiju Counters on it is face-up in my Field Zone, and Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju is face-up in my Monster Zone. I activate the effect of Kyoutou Waterfront that adds a “Kaiju” monster from my Deck to my hand. If my opponent chains Cosmic Cyclone by targeting Kyoutou Waterfront, but I chain the effect of Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju by removing 2 Kaiju Counters from Kyoutou Waterfront, how does the effect of Kyoutou Waterfront resolve?
A: In this scenario, the activation of Cosmic Cyclone is negated by the effect of Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju, so Kyoutou Waterfront is not banished. In this case, even though Kyoutou Waterfront only has 1 Kaiju Counter on it when its effect resolves, you still add a “Kaiju” monster from your Deck to your hand normally.

Q: A Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran is face-up on my field, and Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju is face-up on my opponent’s field. If Interrupted Kaiju Slumber is activated, but my opponent chains Forbidden Lance so that their “Kaiju” monster becomes unaffected by Spell effects, how does Interrupted Kaiju Slumber resolve?
A: Interrupted Kaiju Slumber can be activated even if there is a “Kaiju” monster already on the field. However, when resolving the part of the effect that destroys all monsters on the field, if a “Kaiju” monster is unaffected by Spell effects, it remains on the field and the subsequent effects of Interrupted Kaiju Slumber cannot be applied. (In this example, if the effect of Forbidden Lance was applied to Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju, only your Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran is destroyed and the resolution of Interrupted Kaiju Slumber is completed.)
