Q4 Q2766
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?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
Yes, you can. Because you're digivolving from a Tamer, it isn't considered an unsuspended Digimon.

Q6 Q2768
When I use this card's 2nd [When Attacking] effect to digivolve into a Digimon card with the [Hybrid] trait in the hand, can it digivolve regardless of its digivolution requirements?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
No, this card's [When Attacking] effect does not allow ignoring digivolution requirements, so you can only digivolve into a card that meets the digivolution requirements.

Q7 Q2769
When this card attacks, which of its 2 [When Attacking] effects activate first?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
They trigger simultaneously, so the turn player chooses the effect to activate first. However, if you activate the 2nd [When Attacking] effect first and digivolve, the 1st [When Attacking] can no longer be activated.

Q8 Q4660
Can I choose to not digivolve with this card's 1st effect?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
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.
