Q: If the effect of a “Therions’” monster is negated, will the monster equipped to it be destroyed?

For example, if Therions’ “Duke” Jule is equipped by its own effect with Therions’ “Lily” Borea, and then the effects of Therions’ “Duke” Jule are negated, the equipped Therions’ “Lily” Borea is destroyed.
On the other hand, if Therions’ “Bulls” Ein is Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effect of Therions’ Standup and equipped with Therions’ “King” Regulus by that effect, and then the effects of that Therions’ “Bulls” Ein are negated, the equipped Therions’ “King” Regulus is not destroyed.

Q: I control 2 “Therions’” monsters in my Monster Zone, and each of them are equipped with a copy of Therions’ “Leaper” Fam. Due to the effects of the equipped Therions’ “Leaper” Fam, each of the equipped monsters gains the effect that returns cards to the hand. Can I activate the gained effect of each monster during the same turn?
A: Only one monster’s effect can be activated. Whether the effect is activated by Therions’ “Leaper” Fam itself, or by a “Therions’” monster equipped with Therions’ “Leaper” Fam, this counts as using this effect of Therions’ “Leaper” Fam. Its text states that this effect can only be used once per turn, so 2 or more monsters that have gained that effect cannot activate it during the same turn.

When Ritual Summoning this card, you can also Special Summon it from somewhere other than your hand.

You can also Ritual Summon it from the Deck by the effect of High Ritual Art.
● To Pendulum Summon this card: If your Pendulum Scales allow you to Pendulum Summon Level 7 monsters, you can Pendulum Summon this card from your hand. (This card cannot be Pendulum Summoned from your face-up Extra Deck.) This card Special Summoned by Pendulum Summon is not treated as a Ritual Summoned monster.
Generally, this card cannot be Special Summoned other than by the above methods. But as an exception, if a card such as A Wild Monster Appears!

At this time, first the turn player decides whether or not they will Special Summon a Fusion Monster that lists Fallen of Albaz as a material from their Extra Deck. After that is determined, their opponent decides whether or not they will Special Summon a Fusion Monster that lists Fallen of Albaz as a material from their Extra Deck. If both players Special Summon, the 2 monsters are treated as being Special Summoned at the same time.
