Forum:Safe Zone Prevent Targeting

The card Safe Zone has a ruling that says the monster equiped by Safe Zone can't be targeted by card effects. But I'm curious if the card can stop the effect if the monster is already being targeted. Example 1: I have Dark Magician on the field with a set Safe Zone. My Opponent activates Karma Cut on my Dark Magician, and I chain Safe Zone to the Karma Cut and equip it to Dark Magician. Would Dark Magician still be removed? The card ruling only says prevent the monster from being targeted, but Karma Cut has already target Dark Magician and is moving on to resolving the effect. Example 2: (This is just a similar situation but with lightswarns)I have a lightsworn monster on my field and a set call of the haunted. My opponent use karma cut on the lightsworn, and I chain call of the haunted to karma cut and summon Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid. Aurkus prevents lightsworns from being targeted by card effects, but the situation is the same as Example 1. So would the effect of Karma Cut and other targeting effects go through?
