Q: Tyrant’s Temper is face-up on my field, and its effect that makes all monsters on the field that I own unaffected by other Trap effects is applying. In this situation, if my opponent activates Ceasefire, and my Des Feral Imps is flipped face-up, what happens?
A: In this scenario, when resolving the effect of your opponent’s Ceasefire, any Set monsters on the field are flipped face-up, also you take 500 damage for each Effect Monster on the field. Once the effect’s resolution is completed, the effect of Tyrant’s Temper is applied to the flipped Des Feral Imp. Therefore, since Des Feral Imps was flipped face-up by the effect of Ceasefire, its effect does not activate.

Q: A Darkstorm Dragon treated as a Normal Monster by its own effect is face-up on my field. In this situation, if Supervise is activated and equipped to Darkstorm Dragon, treating it as an Effect Monster that has been Normal Summoned again, can my opponent activate Torrential Tribute?
A: If a Gemini monster treated as a Normal Monster is equipped with Supervise, although it is then treated as an Effect Monster that has been Normal Summoned again, there was no Normal Summon actually performed. Therefore, in this scenario, if Darkstorm Dragon is equipped with Supervise, your opponent cannot activate Torrential Tribute.

Q: Heavy Knight of the Flame is Special Summoned from the Graveyard with the effect of Monster Reborn. Afterward, if Supervise is activated and equipped to Heavy Knight of the Flame, treating it as an Effect Monster that has been Normal Summoned again, is it possible to equip Bashing Shield to that Heavy Knight of the Flame?
A: Bashing Shield can only be equipped to a monster that was Normal Summoned/Set. A Special Summoned Gemini monster that is equipped with Supervise and treated as an Effect Monster is not considered to have been Normal Summoned, so it cannot be equipped with Bashing Shield.

Q: When resolving the effect of Odd-Eyes Fusion, if I want to apply the effect of Chain Material, from where can I use monsters as Fusion Materials?
A: If you resolve the effect of Odd-Eyes Fusion without applying the effect of Chain Material, you can use Fusion Materials from your field or hand for the Fusion Summon. At this time, if your opponent controls 2 or more monsters while you have none, you can also use appropriate monsters in your Extra Deck. (Even in this case, if you activated Chain Material this turn, you cannot attack.) Furthermore, if you wish to apply the effect of Chain Material, you can banish monsters from your hand, field, Deck, and/or Graveyard as Fusion Materials, but even if your opponent controls 2 or more monsters while you have none, you cannot use monsters from your Extra Deck. (In this case, since you Fusion Summoned by applying the effect of Chain Material, the Fusion Monster is destroyed during the End Phase of this turn.)
