Q: If I have 2 copies of Gogogo Aristera & Dexia face-up on my side of the field, and their effects are applying, can my opponent attack either monster?
A: In this scenario, since the only monsters on your side of the field are “Gogogo” monsters, your opponent cannot attack either Gogogo Aristera & Dexia. Note that if the effect of a monster such as Number 47: Nightmare Shark is applied, and a monster is able to attack directly, your opponent can declare a direct attack.

Q: While the effect of a face-up Gogogo Aristera & Dexia is applying, can my opponent target face-down Defense Position “Gogogo” monsters for attacks or card effects?
A: While the effect of a face-up Gogogo Aristera & Dexia is applying, your opponent cannot target any face-up “Gogogo” monsters on your side of the field for attacks or card effects. Therefore, any face-down Defense Position “Gogogo” monsters can be targeted with attacks or card effects.

Q: Number 55: Gogogo Goliath is Xyz Summoned using Gogogo Aristera & Dexia and Gogogo Golem as Xyz Material. If the “●” effect gained by Number 55: Gogogo Goliath is activated, can a monster with 0 DEF be targeted?

Q: Number 39: Utopia is Xyz Summoned using Gogogo Aristera & Dexia and Gogogo Gigas as Xyz Material. The “●” effect gained by Number 39: Utopia is activated by targeting an opponent’s Galaxy Dragon. If Number 39: Utopia is then destroyed by battle or card effect, what happens to the DEF of Galaxy Dragon?
A: In this scenario, Gogogo Aristera & Dexia was used as Xyz Material, and the gained effect was activated, so it has already been applied. Therefore, even if the Xyz Monster leaves the field, the targeted monster’s DEF remains 0.

Q: Number 39: Utopia is Xyz Summoned using Gogogo Aristera & Dexia and Gogogo Ghost as Xyz Material. The “●” effect gained by Number 39: Utopia is activated by targeting an opponent’s Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Then, during the Battle Step, if the effect of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is activated and it is banished until the end of the Battle Phase, what happens to the DEF of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon when it returns to the field?
A: In this scenario, once Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is banished, the gained “●” effect no longer applies. Therefore, when Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon returns to the field at the end of the Battle Phase, its DEF will be 2500.

Q: Gogogo Aristera & Dexia and Gogogo Giant are both used as Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, and the “●” effect gained by the Xyz Monster is activated by targeting an opponent’s Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon. If Zero Gravity is chained, and Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon is changed to Defense Position, how does the “●” effect resolve?
A: In this scenario, if the “●” effect granted by Gogogo Aristera & Dexia is activated, but Zero Gravity is chained, the targeted monster cannot be changed to Defense Position by that effect. Therefore, the DEF of Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon does not become 0.

Q: When an “Infernity” monster on my side of the field is destroyed by battle, and I apply the effect of Infernity Bishop in my Graveyard, when is Infernity Bishop banished?

Q: I activate the effect of Infernity Necromancer, and Special Summon Infernity General from my Graveyard. At this time, if my opponent activates Torrential Tribute, so that 2 of my “Infernity” monsters would be destroyed, can I apply the effect of an Infernity Bishop in my Graveyard instead?
A: Even if 2 or more “Infernity” monsters would be destroyed at the same time, you can apply the effect of an Infernity Bishop in your Graveyard. In this scenario, your 1 Infernity Bishop is banished from the Graveyard, and neither Infernity Necromancer nor Infernity General are destroyed by the effect of Torrential Tribute.

Q: I have 0 cards in my hand, and both Infernity Archfiend and Stygian Street Patrol are face-up on my side of the field. In this scenario, if my opponent activates the effect of Evilswarm Exciton Knight, can I apply the effect of an Infernity Bishop in my Graveyard?
A: Even if an “Infernity” monster and a non-“Infernity” monster would be destroyed at the same time, you can apply the effect of an Infernity Bishop in your Graveyard. In this case, by applying the effect of Infernity Bishop, Infernity Archfiend is not destroyed by the effect of Evilswarm Exciton Knight, but Stygian Street Patrol is destroyed normally.

Q: Infernity Archfiend is face-up on my side of the field, and Infernity Bishop is in my hand. If my opponent activates Dark Hole, but I chain Raigeki Break so that Infernity Bishop is discarded and I now have 0 cards in my hand, can I apply the effect of Infernity Bishop?
A: In this scenario, if you activate Raigeki Break as Chain Link 2 by discarding Infernity Bishop, when Dark Hole resolves at Chain Link 1 you will have no cards in your hand and an “Infernity” monster on your side of the field would be destroyed. Therefore, you can apply the effect of Infernity Bishop and banish it from your Graveyard instead.

Q: If Infernity Knight is in face-down Defense Position on my side of the field, and would be destroyed by Shield Crush, can I apply the effect of Infernity Bishop in my Graveyard? Also, if Infernity Archer is in face-down Defense Position on my side of the field, and would be destroyed by an opponent’s monster’s attack, can I apply the effect of Infernity Bishop in my Graveyard?
A: The effect of Infernity Bishop can only be applied when a face-up “Infernity” monster on your side of the field would be destroyed by battle or card effect. Therefore, when a face-down “Infernity” monster is attacked by an opponent’s monster and flipped face-up, and would be destroyed by that battle, you can apply the effect of Infernity Bishop. But if your face-down “Infernity” monster would be destroyed by a card effect such as Shield Crush, you cannot apply the effect of Infernity Bishop.

This turn, am I able to activate the effect of Beatrice, the Eternal Lady that sends 1 card from my Deck to the Graveyard?
A: Not being able to activate the effect of Beatrice, the Eternal Lady during the turn you Xyz Summon it this way is not considered an effect of this monster.

A: If you Xyz Summon Beatrice, the Eternal Lady by sending a “Burning Abyss” monster from my hand to the Graveyard and using a “Dante” monster as the Xyz Material, only that copy of Beatrice, the Eternal Lady cannot activate its effect this turn.

Q: Can I activate the first effect of Beatrice, the Eternal Lady while the first effect of Stellarknight Constellar Diamond is applying?
A: While the effect of Stellarknight Constellar Diamond is applying, you cannot send cards from the Deck to the Graveyard, so you cannot activate the effect of Beatrice, the Eternal Lady.
