Q: My God-Eyes Phantom Dragon has 4000 ATK after gaining 1000 ATK from the effect of Juragedo.

In this scenario, if a Stardust Dragon Special Summoned by Stardust Wish is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, it is no longer targeted by Stardust Wish, so even if it changes to Attack Position again, the effect that prevents it from being destroyed by battle will not apply again.

A: If you did not already apply the effect of Bye Bye Damage that turn, you can activate 2 copies of Bye Bye Damage during damage calculation on the same Chain when your monster is attacked. However, since the effect of Bye Bye Damage can only be applied once per turn, in this situation the effect of the copy that was activated as Chain Link 2 will resolve normally, but the effect of the copy that was activated as Chain Link 1 will not apply.

Q: During damage calculation, if I activate Bye Bye Damage, but I take damage so that my Life Points become 0, what happens to my opponent's Life Points? A: When the effect of Bye Bye Damage is applied, the battle damage you take and the double effect damage your opponent takes occur at the same time.
