Q.
Can this card’s "Throat Slasher" ability (“If your opponent has put a unit into play during your turn, then for the rest of that turn, you may special summon this from your hand as an instant action.”) be used as an instant action as soon as the opponent adds a card or ability to put a unit into play during your turn into the gate?
A.
No. You cannot play this ability until after the card or ability to put your opponent’s unit into play fully resolves, and an enemy unit has actually entered play during your turn as a result. Once that happens, then you can play this ability as an instant action.

This card’s "Twilight Ritual" ability is written as follows: “When this enters play through a "Sigrún" ability, special summon 1 non-legendary {Reginleif} unit of level 1 or less from your graveyard. At the end of a main phase, destroy this and the unit special summoned by this effect”. If you used «Parzival» to prevent the destruction of the unit that was special summoned through this ability, does it still get destroyed when the next turn’s main phase ends?
A.
Yes. As long as that unit remains in play, its destruction will continue to be triggered whenever the main phase ends in subsequent turns.

In order for this ability to be triggered, the combined total damage between both players must be 14 or more when you declare the geared up ruler’s initial attack.
Deathshade Apostle Goral, Deathspeaker Saint
Q.
Can you use the 【CNT】 abilities of cards placed in the damage zone by this card’s "Deathshade Hex: 'Awakening of the Lost'" ability?

Q.
When you use this card’s "All ways are my ways" ability (“- 【Turn 1】: At the end of a combat where this was the attacker, you may choose 1 allied unit in a defense zone and have it swap places with this.”) after this makes an attack, if you swap this card in an attack zone with an allied unit in a defense zone, does that allied unit become ready?

Q.
When playing this card’s "Silverback Rampage" ability (“ - 【Turn 1】 - Instant Action: [Destroy 1 allied unit and discard 1 card from your hand.] Ready this.”) by destroying an allied «Anubis Lookalike» as part of the cost, does this ability get added to the gate first, followed by the "Afterlife Judgment" ability of the «Anubis Lookalike»?
A.
Yes. In this scenario, the two abilities would be added to the gate in the order of "Silverback Rampage" first, then "Afterlife Judgment" (so "Afterlife Judgment" will resolve before "Silverback Rampage").
Q.
As you try to put this card into play, if you return this card to your hand through its ability, does that count as this unit having entered play?
A.
No, it has not entered play.
It returns to your hand without actually entering play.
Q.
If the face down card put into play by this card’s effect is flipped face up and revealed to be a unit other than «Moonlit Werewolf», does that unit still remain in play?
Also, is it possible to use any of that unit’s abilities which are triggered “when this unit is normal/special summoned” or “when this unit enters play”?
A.
Yes, the revealed unit still remains in play even if it is a unit other than «Moonlit Werewolf».
However, it is merely being turned face up while already in play, so this does not count as entering play. Hence, any abilities on that unit which trigger “when this unit enters play” or the like cannot be used.
Q.
While the “your ruler can directly attack your opponent's ruler” portion of this card’s "Just believe you can fly!" ability is applied due to you winning the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, are you able to attack your opponent’s ruler with your own ruler regardless of whether there is an enemy unit in your opponent’s defense zone?
A.
Yes, your ruler can choose to attack the opponent’s ruler.
Instead of attacking your opponent’s ruler, you may also choose to have your ruler attack any enemy unit in the defense zone as normal.

In that case, the chosen unit will not be destroyed, but it will still lose all of its abilities.

As a result, the card you played gets resolved first before your opponent’s (items in the gate are resolved in the reverse order they were added).

Can you have 8 copies of this card in a deck regardless of your ruler’s restrictions on the number of copies of a single card?
A.
Yes, regardless of which ruler you use, you can include up to 8 copies of this card in your deck.
Q.
Can this card’s "Kaiju Alert" ability (“If your opponent has put a unit into play during your turn, then for the rest of that turn, you may special summon this from your hand as an instant action.”) be used as an instant action as soon as the opponent adds a card or ability to put a unit into play during your turn to the gate?
A.
No. You cannot play this ability until after the card or ability to put your opponent’s unit into play fully resolves, and an enemy unit has actually entered play during your turn as a result. Once that happens, then you can play this ability as an instant action.
Q.
When your opponent puts 2 or more enemy units into play simultaneously during your turn, if you use this card’s "Death at First Sight" ability (“When your opponent puts a unit into play during your turn, you may destroy this. If you do, destroy that unit which your opponent put into play.”), can you destroy all of those enemy units?
A.
Yes, all of those enemy units will be destroyed.
Q.
If you use this card’s "Death at First Sight" ability (“When your opponent puts a unit into play during your turn, you may destroy this. If you do, destroy that unit which your opponent put into play.”) in response to your opponent putting a «Lucifer, the Lightbringer» into play during your turn, how does that get resolved?
A.
When multiple cards and/or abilities have the conditions that trigger them fulfilled simultaneously, first the active player decides which of their cards and/or abilities they want to use, and then add them to the gate in an order of their choice. This is then followed by the inactive player doing the same thing with their cards and/or abilities.
In the case of this scenario, you are the active player, so you decide whether to add your «Zamza Zamza»’s "Death at First Sight" ability to the gate. Afterwards, the opponent adds their «Lucifer, the Lightbringer»’s ability (“When this enters play, deal 5 damage to all units. This damage cannot be reduced.”) to the gate.
As a result, the opponent’s «Lucifer, the Lightbringer»’s ability is resolved first (items in the gate are resolved in the reverse order of which they were added). If your «Zamza Zamza» leaves play as a result of resolving this ability, then you cannot resolve the “you may destroy this” portion of its "Death at First Sight" ability, hence the “destroy that unit which your opponent put into play” portion is not executed.
Q.
Can you have 12 copies of this card in a deck regardless of your ruler’s restrictions on the number of copies of a single card?
A.
Yes, regardless of which ruler you use, you can include up to 12 copies of this card in your deck. However, this card is still subject to any restrictions on the total number of 【CNT】 cards you can have.
Q.
Let’s say that you used this unit’s ability (“【TD】【OD】 Declare 1 attribute. Until the end of turn, allied units with the declared attribute gain +2 ATK and +2 HP.”). If you then use an allied unit’s Familiar ability to give it the declared attribute after this unit’s ability was already resolved and its effect applied, does that unit with Familiar also get +2 ATK and +2 HP?
A.
No, only allied units in play that have the attribute you declare at the time of when you resolve this ability will get +2 ATK and +2 HP. The effect is not applied to other units that gain the declared attribute afterwards.
