9007: At what time do you apply the effect of monsters like "" which allows you to remove it from play when Ritual Summoning?

9008: When your opponent Special Summons multiple monsters simultaneously, can "[[:]" destroy all of them?]
 * If the effect of ":" is activated when multiple monsters are Special Summoned simultaneously, then all of those Special Summoned monster are destroyed.
 * Card Rulings:

9009: Will "Skill Drain" negate the effect of "[[:]" which is applied to a Ritual Monster?]
 * The effect of ":" which prevents your opponent from Special Summoning and the effect of ":" which lets you draw when an opponent's monster is destroyed are not treated as effects of the Ritual Monster which was Ritual Summoned. Thus, if the effect of the Ritual Monster is negated by an effect like "Skill Drain" or "Prohibited Chalice", then the effect of ":" which prevents your opponent from Special Summoning is still applied.
