Question 1

Can I process the part of the effect after "after" in this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] [When Attacking] effect without meeting the "by" condition?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't.  If you don't trash 1 card in your hand, you can't process the part after "after" in this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] [When Attacking] effect.

Question 2

Can I trash just 1 card in my hand for this card's 1st [All Turns] effect?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't.  A "by" condition can't be met if only some of the required actions are performed.  The conditions for this 1st [All Turns] effect require you to trash the specified number of cards in your hand.

Question 3

I activated this card's 1st [All Turns] effect when this card's DP becomes 0 and it would be deleted by a rule check, then it was prevented from being deleted.  Can I then activate the 2nd [All Turns] effect?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. After deletion is prevented by activating the 1st [All Turns] effect, a rule check occurs again, and this card is deleted because it has 0 DP. The 2nd [All Turns] effect can't activate because this card is deleted before it can activate.

Question 4

When "trash 1 card in your hand" is performed twice, does a "when your hand is trashed from" effect trigger twice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it triggers twice.

Question 5

When "trashing 2 cards in your hand" is performed once, does a "when your hand is trashed from" effect trigger twice?

Accepted Answer

No, it only triggers once.
