Forum:During the End Phase, remove from play...

This post was made because I've been having trouble verifying the end result of, specifically, "Return from the Different Dimension", though I'm certain there are other cards that also have you removing from play a Special Summoned Monster during the End Phase. I've looked at the Rulings page for the card, as well as the ruling theories made by Falzar, but I'm unable to draw up a conclusion from what's given. Both have related scenarios, but due to certain discrepancies I wasn't certain if they applied.

Anyways, after all that rambling: If a Monster Special Summoned by Return from the Different Dimension's effect is removed from the field prior to the End Phase, is it still banished by the Trap? On the Rulings page, a now unofficial ruling stated that a Monster flipped face-down is not removed from play.

Apparently, this is no longer true.

Now, if the Monster is instead in the Hand, Deck, or Graveyard during the End Phase, is it still banished?

Also, say Shooting Star Dragon, having been Synchro Summoned previously (so that it has the proper Special Summon permission), is brought back into play with Return from the Different Dimension, and subsequently uses its third effect to negate the attack. While I presume the effect of the Trap is removed upon the Monster banishing itself, and it will be Special Summoned again with its own effect*, can someone verify this?


 * I also believe that Shooting Star Dragon's self-summoning effect would take place anyways, as a Monster removed from play can't be banished again, though I hope whoever provides an answer can detail as to why or why not Shooting Star Dragon would be Special Summoned during the End Phase.
