Card-specific notes from database
- (YGOResources) If this card is Set by an effect that states it cannot be activated this turn (e.g., "Triple Tactics Thrust"), you cannot activate it that turn, even by applying its own condition.
- (YGOResources) If an effect allows a Trap to be activated the turn it is Set, you can choose to activate this card via that effect (without paying its specific condition cost) or via its own text (by banishing a "Maliss" monster).
- (YGOResources) "Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion" can be chained to this card's activation because it includes an effect that Special Summons a monster from the GY, even if there are no appropriate monsters in the GY at activation.
