Question 1

I activated this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] effect, and when my opponent's Digimon would leave the battle area for the 1st process, an immediate-type effect such as a "when [...] would leave" effect caused this card to be removed from the battle area. Can I then process the part of the effect after "then" in this card's effect?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. If an effect activates, it is to be fully resolved even if the card that activated the effect is removed from that area during the processing.

Question 2

When does a "when [...] leaves the battle area" effect trigger?

Accepted Answer

It triggers when a card in the battle area is placed in another area. The following areas are considered other areas: ●Deck●Digi-Egg deck●Breeding area●Hand●Trash●Security stack●Under a card (in a Digimon's digivolution cards or under a Tamer)

Question 3

Does a "when [...] leaves the battle area" effect trigger even if a "when [...] would leave the battle area" effect activates and prevents it from leaving?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't trigger.
