VJMP-JP138 Subterror Guru
Q: Subterror Cave Clash is face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone. In this situation, when I Flip Summon Subterror Guru, I activate its effect that adds a “Subterror” card from my Deck to my hand. At this time, if there is a face-up monster on the field other than the Flip Summoned Subterror Guru, can I also chain the effect of Subterror Guru that changes it and another monster to face-down Defense Position?
A: In this scenario, since there is another “Subterror” card on your field, the second effect of Subterror Guru becomes a Quick Effect and can be chained to its first effect that adds a “Subterror” card from your Deck to your hand.

Q: Can I activate the second effect of Subterror Guru targeting a Token or Link Monster?

17CC-JP001 Code Talker
Q: Can Code Talker be Special Summoned by the effect(s) of Recoded Alive?

Q: If a Code Talker in my Extra Monster Zone battles an opponent’s Magnarokket Dragon in my opponent’s Main Monster Zone that it points, what happens?
A: In this scenario, your opponent’s Magnarokket Dragon has 1800 ATK, and your Code Talker gains 500 ATK due to its own effect, so it also has 1800 ATK. In this case, your opponent’s Magnarokket Dragon will be destroyed by battle normally, but Code Talker will not be destroyed due to its own effect.
