A: The effect of Eidos the Netherworld Knight is a mandatory effect that activates when it is Normal or Special Summoned. However, this effect only allows you to perform 1 Tribute Summon in addition to the regular Normal Summon/Set each player is allowed per turn.

Q: Can the effect of The True First Monarch that Special Summons it from the Graveyard be activated during the same turn it was sent to the Graveyard?

Q: If The True First Monarch is Special Summoned by its own effect as a Normal Monster, and is then destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard again, can I activate its effect once again to Special Summon it?
A: The effect of The True First Monarch that activates in the Graveyard can only be used once per turn. If The True First Monarch is Special Summoned by this effect, and then sent to the Graveyard again, you can activate the effect next turn and Special Summon it as a Normal Monster.
