A: In the proposed scenario, the effect of the Performapal Big Bite Turtle destroyed in battle would be activated to destroy the opponent’s monster that battled (= Blackwing – Steam the Cloak)
If both monsters are destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, since the monster that would be destroyed is no longer on the field, the effect cannot be activated.

Q: While Macro Cosmos is active, can the Monster Effect of a Performapal Big Bite Turtle destroyed in battle be activated?
A: Even in the proposed scenario, the Monster Effect of a Performapal Big Bite Turtle destroyed in battle can be activated.
In that case, the Performapal Big Bite Turtle destroyed in battle is not added to the Extra Deck and is banished instead by the effect of Macro Cosmos, but its Monster Effect can be activated when it is banished.

Q: Can the Monster Effect of 2 copies of Performapal Guiturtle be activated targeting a Performapal Kaleidoscorp in the Pendulum Zone?
A: Yes, it can.
Since the Pendulum Scale of Performapal Kaleidoscorp is 4, it becomes 8 until the end of the turn by the Monster Effect of the 2 copies of Performapal Guiturtle.

Q: The Monster Effect of Timesword Magician that banishes monsters has been activated.
If Book of Moon is activated in a chain to the activation of that effect, so that the Timesword Magician that activated its effect is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does this resolve?
A: Even in that case, the effect resolves normally.
In that case, Timesword Magician is banished in face-down Defense Position, and during your next Standby Phase, it is returned to the field in face-down Defense Position.
