A: As long as the monster is being Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, it is possible to use the effect of Confronting the “C”. In the case of Gladiator Beast Gyzarus, its effect will activate first and Confronting the “C” can be chained to it.

Q: Does Cybernetic Fusion Support perform a Fusion Summon on its own?
A: Cybernetic Fusion Support does not have an effect that Fusion Summons. After resolving the card, if you activate Polymerization, etc., you are able to use monsters from your hand, field, or Graveyard as the Fusion Materials by banishing them.

Q: If the only Fusion Material monster(s) available for a Fusion Summon is in the Graveyard, can Cybernetic Fusion Support be chained to Polymerization?
A: In this scenario, because Cybernetic Fusion Support has not resolved yet, the monsters required for the Fusion Summon need to be on the field or in the hand. Therefore, Polymerization cannot be activated to begin with. But if Cybernetic Fusion Support has already resolved, then Polymerization can be activated even if the only Fusion Material monster(s) available are not on the field or in the hand.

Q: If the effect of Cybernetic Fusion Support is being applied, how can Super Polymerization be resolved?
A: When resolving Super Polymerization, if you choose to apply the effect of Cybernetic Fusion Support, you can only use Fusion Material monsters from your hand, field, or Graveyard by banishing them. (You cannot use monsters your opponent controls.)

Q: When adding a Dragon-Type monster to your hand with The Melody of Awakening Dragon, must it meet both criteria of having 3000 or more ATK and 2500 or less DEF?
A: A Dragon-Type monster added to the hand must have 3000 or more ATK, but its DEF cannot exceed 2500. For example, Blue-Eyes White Dragon has 3000 ATK and 2500 DEF, so it can be added to the hand with The Melody of Awakening Dragon.

Q: If a monster Special Summoned by Powerful Rebirth is used as Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Material, what happens to Powerful Rebirth?
A: If a monster Special Summoned by Powerful Rebirth is destroyed, Powerful Rebirth is then destroyed, but if you use that monster as a material for a Summon, Powerful Rebirth will remain on the field meaninglessly.

A: If Mystical Space Typhoon is chained to Powerful Rebirth, you do not Special Summon the targeted monster from the Graveyard. Furthermore, if Mystical Space Typhoon destroys Powerful Rebirth after it has resolved, the monster remains on the field, however, its Level, ATK, and DEF will return to normal.

Q: If a player controls Protector of the Sanctuary and they have Silent Wobbegong in their hand, can they Special Summon it to their opponent’s side of the field with its effect? Furthermore, when applying the effect to draw a card and gain Life Points, how does it resolve?

In that case, the effect that activates when it is Special Summoned this way will activate, but if Protector of the Sanctuary is on the field, then the opponent will not draw and the other player will not gain Life Points.
