Question 1

Does this card's "[Koji Minamoto]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement mean that [Koji Minamoto] is treated as a Digimon when it digivolves?

Accepted Answer

No, [Koji Minamoto] digivolves as a Tamer.

Question 2

Does this card's "[Koji Minamoto]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement to digivolve, do "when a Digimon digivolves" effects trigger?

Accepted Answer

No, they don’t trigger. "When a Digimon digivolves" effects don't trigger when a Tamer digivolves.

Question 3

Does this card's "[Koji Minamoto]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement to digivolve, do "when a Digimon would digivolve" effects trigger?

Accepted Answer

No, they don’t trigger. "When a Digimon digivolves" effects don't trigger when a Tamer digivolves.

Question 4

My opponent activates EX3-053 [Metallicdramon]'s [On Play] effect. Can I digivolve an unsuspended [Koji Minamoto] using this card's "[Koji Minamoto]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement in the next turn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Because you're digivolving from a Tamer, it isn't considered an unsuspended Digimon.

Question 5

Can I activate P-104 [Mental Training]'s <Delay> effect and digivolve using this card's "[Takuya Kanbara]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement in the next turn?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. P-104 [Mental Training]'s <Delay> effect digivolves 1 Digimon. It doesn't digivolve Tamers.

Question 6

If I use this Digimon's [When Digivolving] effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon], then it digivolves or is affected by <De-Digivolve>, what happens to the "delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" effect?

Accepted Answer

Digimon carry over effects after digivolving or de-digivolving, therefore it's deleted at the end of the turn.

Question 7

This Digimon has a Tamer card in its digivolution cards, and I used its [When Digivolving] effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon], then it was affected by a <De-Digivolve> effect and became a Tamer. Does the "delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" effect delete this Tamer at such times?

Accepted Answer

No, it isn't deleted because it's no longer considered a Digimon.

Question 8

I used BT3-109 [Back for Revenge!] on this Digimon, then I used this Digimon's [When Digivolving] effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon]. After this Digimon is deleted at the end of this turn, does BT3-109 [Back for Revenge!]'s effect play this card or [AncientGarurumon] into the battle area?

Accepted Answer

Digimon carry over effects after digivolving, therefore it plays [AncientGarurumon].

Question 9

I have BT17-023 [KendoGarurumon] with BT18-088 [Takuya Kanbara & Koji Minamoto] in its digivolution cards. At the end of the turn, I use BT18-088 [Takuya Kanbara & Koji Minamoto]'s inherited effect to attack, and I use BT17-023 [KendoGarurumon]'s [When Attacking] effect to digivolve into this card. If I use this card's [When Digivolving] effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon] at such times, the end of the turn timing has already passed, but does this card's effect delete that [AncientGarurumon]?

Accepted Answer

No, it won't be deleted. Effects that are processed at specific timings will be processed when that timing arrives, similar to triggered effects. If this card's effect is used to digivolve at the end of the turn, the end of the turn timing has already passed, therefore this card's "delete this Digimon at the end of the turn" isn't processed.

Question 10

Can I choose to not digivolve with this card's 1st effect?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. For this card's 1st effect, you declare a digivolution, then upon revealing this card, you can also choose a Tamer as the card to digivolve, and that Tamer is also treated as a level 3 Digimon. As with the normal digivolution procedure, after revealing this card and declaring a digivolution, you can't choose to not digivolve. In addition, you can't declare digivolution into this card in the first place unless there is a card on the field that you can digivolve.
