Card-specific notes from database

  • (Konami neuron) If you target multiple "Kaiju" monsters while controlling none, they are all Special Summoned and you lose LP for all of them, but immediately afterward you must destroy "Kaiju" monsters you control until only 1 remains.
  • (Konami neuron) If multiple monsters are Special Summoned simultaneously, effects that trigger when a monster is Special Summoned (e.g., "Black Garden", "Trickstar Holly Angel") only activate once.
  • (Konami neuron) If a Link Monster and another monster are Special Summoned simultaneously, effects that trigger when a monster is Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to (e.g., "Topologic Bomber Dragon") do not activate, unless a monster was Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster already on the field pointed to.
  • (Konami neuron) If the opponent Special Summons multiple monsters simultaneously, you can activate "Dark Renewal" targeting 1 of those Special Summoned monsters and 1 face-up Spellcaster you control.
