PP19-JP001 Performapal Ballad
Q: A face-down Defense Position “Performapal” monster is attacked by my opponent’s monster. In this case, can I activate the Pendulum Effect of Performapal Ballad at the start of the Damage Step?
A: Since the effect of Performapal Ballad activates at the start of the Damage Step, the effect will activate and resolve before face-down monsters are flipped face-up by the attack. In this scenario, if your battling monster is in face-down Defense Position, it is not considered a “Performapal” monster, so you cannot activate the Pendulum Effect of Performapal Ballad.

PP19-JP002 Performapal Barracuda
Q: Can the Pendulum Effect of Performapal Barracuda only be activated if the ATK of the opponent’s battling monster is higher than its original ATK?
A: The Pendulum Effect of Performapal Barracuda can be activated when the ATK of the opponent’s battling monster is different than its original ATK. For example, if the opponent’s battling monster is an Edge Imp Sabres whose ATK has been reduced by 300 by the effect of your Wonder Balloons, and you activate the Pendulum Effect of Performapal Barracuda, the difference from its original ATK of 1200 is 300, so its ATK is further reduced to 600. Similarly, if the opponent’s battling monster is a Raidraptor – Blade Burner Falcon whose ATK is increased by 3000 by its own effect, and you activate the Pendulum Effect of Performapal Barracuda, the difference from its original ATK of 1000 is 3000, so its ATK is reduced to 1000.

PP19-JP003 Speedroid Domino Butterfly
Q: Can I activate the Pendulum Effect of Speedroid Domino Butterfly by targeting one of my banished WIND Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monsters such as Clear Wing Fast Dragon?
A: Yes, you can. In that case, the targeted monster is returned to the Extra Deck instead of your hand. In this example, Clear Wing Fast Dragon is also a Pendulum Monster, but when it returns to the Extra Deck, it will be returned face-down. (You cannot place it face-up in the Extra Deck.)

PP19-JP004 Pendulum Fusion
Q: Performapal Barracuda and Odd-Eyes Personal Dragon are both in my Pendulum Zones. In this situation, I activate Pendulum Fusion and use Performapal Barracuda and Odd-Eyes Personal Dragon to Fusion Summon Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw. Where will the monsters in my Pendulum Zones used as Fusion Materials be sent to?
A: When performing a Fusion Summon with the effect of Pendulum Fusion, the required Fusion Material monsters are sent from the field to the Graveyard. At this time, if you include any monsters in your Pendulum Zones as Fusion Materials, they are added face-up to the Extra Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard.

Q: Performapal Ballad and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon are both in my Pendulum Zones. I activate Pendulum Fusion, and apply the effect of Chain Material so that I can banish monsters from my field, hand, Main Deck, and/or Graveyard as Fusion Materials. In this case, can I also include cards in my Pendulum Zones as Fusion Materials?
A: When resolving the effect of Pendulum Fusion, if you apply the effect of Chain Material, you must use monsters from your field, hand, Main Deck, and/or Graveyard as Fusion Materials. In that case, even if you have 2 Pendulum Monsters in your Pendulum Zones, you cannot include them as Fusion Materials.

Q: Macro Cosmos is face-up on my opponent’s field, and its effect that banishes any cards that would be sent to the Graveyard is applying. In this situation, can I activate Pendulum Fusion?
A: Even while the effect of Macro Cosmos is applying, you can activate Pendulum Fusion. The Fusion Material monsters selected from your Monster Zones, as well as monsters in your Pendulum Zones used as Fusion Materials, are banished, but the Fusion Monster is Special Summoned normally.

Q: Performapal Skullcrobat Joker and Performapal Extra Slinger are both in my Pendulum Zones. In this situation, if I activate Pendulum Fusion and use cards in my Pendulum Zones as Fusion Materials, can I Fusion Summon a Starving Venom Fusion Dragon?
A: When Fusion Summoning a Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, the required Fusion Materials are 2 non-Token DARK monsters on the field. In this scenario, since both Performapal Skullcrobat Joker and Performapal Extra Slinger are DARK Monster Cards, you can use them as the Fusion Materials to Fusion Summon Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.

Q: Performapal Silver Claw and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon are both in my Pendulum Zones. In this situation, if I activate Pendulum Fusion, but my opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon and destroys Performapal Silver Claw, how does the effect resolve?
A: The effect of Pendulum Fusion only allows you to use monsters in your Pendulum Zones as Fusion Materials if you have 2 cards in your Pendulum Zones when resolving the effect. In this scenario, since one of the cards in your Pendulum Zones has been destroyed, you can only use monsters in your Monster Zones as Fusion Materials. (You cannot include the remaining monster in your Pendulum Zone as Fusion Material. If you do not have the appropriate Fusion Material monsters in your Monster Zones, Pendulum Fusion resolves without effect.)

PP19-JP005 Frightfur Daredevil
Q: My Frightfur Daredevil destroys an opponent’s Performapal Ballad by battle, and it is placed face-up in my opponent’s Extra Deck. In this case, can I activate the effect of Frightfur Daredevil that inflicts 1000 damage to my opponent?
A: Even if an opponent’s monster destroyed by battle with your Frightfur Daredevil is not sent to the Graveyard, such as when a destroyed Pendulum Monster is placed face-up in the Extra Deck, you can activate the effect of Frightfur Daredevil at the end of the Damage Step.

Q: My opponent activates Monster Reborn and Special Summons Frightfur Daredevil from my Graveyard. At this time, if either player activates Torrential Tribute, and Frightfur Daredevil is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, can I activate the effect of Frightfur Daredevil that inflicts 500 damage to my opponent for each “Frightfur” monster in my Graveyard?
A: In this scenario, since Frightfur Daredevil did not leave the field while in its owner’s control, whether it is destroyed by your card effect or your opponent’s, you cannot activate its effect that inflicts 500 damage to your opponent for each “Frightfur” monster in your Graveyard.

In this situation, if Frightfur Daredevil is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, can I activate its effect that inflicts 500 damage to my opponent for each “Frightfur” monster in my Graveyard?
A: Even in this case, the effect of Frightfur Daredevil can be activated. Frightfur Daredevil is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard, so it will be you (the owner) that activates its effect, not your opponent.

Q: I activated Raid Raptor Replica this turn targeting a face-up Raidraptor – Vanishing Lanius. During the same turn, if Book of Eclipse is activated so that the Raidraptor – Vanishing Lanius that was targeted with Raid Raptor Replica is changed to face-down Defense Position, what happens?
A: As in this scenario, if the monster that was targeted with Raid Raptor Replica is changed to face-down Defense Position after the effect is applied, the effects of Raid Raptor Replica no longer apply. (Also note that in a situation where the monster that was Special Summoned by the effect of Raid Raptor Replica is changed to face-down Defense Position, the effects of Raid Raptor Replica no longer apply.)

Q: A face-up Raidraptor – Singing Lanius on my opponent’s side of the field was targeted with the effect of Raid Raptor Replica this turn. In this situation, if I activate Forbidden Lance targeting a monster on my field, can that monster attack that Raidraptor – Singing Lanius?
A: If the effect of Forbidden Lance has been applied, that monster is unaffected by the effects of Raid Raptor Replica, so it can attack the monster that was targeted with Raid Raptor Replica (in this example, the first Raidraptor – Singing Lanius). Note that the part of the effect of Raid Raptor Replica that prevents the opponent from targeting that monster with card effects is still applied normally, so that if the monster affected by Forbidden Lance activates its effect, Raidraptor – Singing Lanius cannot be targeted by it.

A: In this scenario, although you have 2 face-up Xyz Monsters on your field, the one with the lowest Rank among them is the Rank 1 Number 39: Utopia Roots. You cannot target a Rank 1 monster with Chain Summon, so you cannot activate Chain Summon in this scenario.

A: In this scenario, although the Rank 3 Number 47: Nightmare Shark was targeted when activating Chain Summon, the Rank 2 Cat Shark has been Special Summoned when Chain Summon resolves so that Number 47: Nightmare Shark is no longer the Xyz Monster with the lowest Rank on your field, but even so the effect is applied normally. (Since Number 47: Nightmare Shark was targeted, you will Special Summon a Rank 1 or 2 monster from your Extra Deck.)

Q: I attack directly with Number 28: Titanic Moth, using its own effect. If I activate Call of the Haunted during the Battle Step, and a new monster is Special Summoned to my field, what happens to the attack?
A: In this scenario, if a new monster is Special Summoned to your field during the Battle Step after Number 28: Titanic Moth attacks directly with its own effect, since it is no longer a situation in which you control no other monsters, Number 28: Titanic Moth cannot attack directly. A replay occurs, and you can choose to attack a monster or stop the attack.

A: When resolving the effect of Number 70: Deadly Sin that banishes an opponent’s monster, even if Number 70: Deadly Sin has been destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, the effect is applied normally.

PP19-JP012 Necroid Synchro
Q: If I want to Special Summon a Stardust Warrior with the effect of Necroid Synchro, do I need to banish a Tuner Synchro Monster and non-Tuner Synchro Monsters from my Graveyard?

Q: Junk Synchron, Nitro Synchron, Turret Warrior, and Junk Destroyer are in my Graveyard. If I activate Necroid Synchro, but my opponent chains D.D. Crow and banishes one of those monsters from my Graveyard, how does Necroid Synchro resolve?

Crow resulting that you cannot banish a combination of 1 Tuner and up to 2 non-Tuner monsters from your Graveyard whose total Levels equal the Level of a “Stardust” Synchro Monster in your Extra Deck, the effect of Necroid Synchro does not apply. (No monsters are banished from your Graveyard.) If you are still able to apply the effect, the appropriate monsters are banished from your Graveyard and the “Stardust” Synchro Monster is Special Summoned from your Extra Deck normally.

Q: I Special Summoned a Stardust Dragon with the effect of Necroid Synchro, and its effects are negated. If I activate the effect of Stardust Dragon by Tributing it, will that effect be negated?
A: A monster Special Summoned by the effect of Necroid Synchro has any of its effects negated that activate or apply on the field. The effect of Stardust Dragon that negates the activation of a card/effect is an effect that activates on the field, even though Stardust Dragon itself is Tributed as the cost to activate it. Therefore, the effect of Stardust Dragon will be negated by Necroid Synchro. (In that case, the effect of Stardust Dragon that Special Summons it from the Graveyard will not activate during the End Phase.)

A: A monster Special Summoned by the effect of Necroid Synchro has any of its effects negated that activate or apply on the field. The effect of Stardust Warrior that Special Summons a Level 8 or lower “Warrior” Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck is an effect that activates in the Graveyard in this scenario.

A: When Darklord Descent resolves, you must choose 1 face-up monster on your opponent’s field whose current Level equals the Level of a “Darklord” monster(s) in your Graveyard. In this scenario, since your opponent does not control a face-up monster when Darklord Descent resolves, its effect is not applied.
