Talk:Snake Whistle

How this card was used in the anime compared to its real life effect
It was stated in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 118 page that Snake Whistle can only activate when a Reptile-type monster is destroyed by a card effect. It can't activate when the monster is destroyed by battle since that would miss the timing (This happens if the lore says "when" it happens but it would not if the lore said "if" it happens). Viper activated this card when his Venom Snake was destroyed by Jaden's Plasma Vice in battle, but this could not be possible in the real game since Snake Whistle only activates "when" a Reptile-type monster is destroyed by a card effect. It can't be activated if the Reptile monster is destroyed in battle.
