Card Rulings:Number F0: Utopic Future

OCG Rulings

 * "This card is always treated as a Rank 1 monster." is not treated as a effect".


 * "Cannot be destroyed by battle, also any battle damage either player takes from a battle involving this card becomes 0.." effect is a Continuous Effect. (This effect is only applied during the Damage Calculation. Also, if the opponent's monster has lower ATK, the opponent's monster will be destroyed by battle.)


 * "At the end of the Damage Step, when this card battles an opponent's monster: You can take control of that opponent's monster until the end of the Battle Phase." effect is a optional Trigger Effect. (This effect does not target, and cannot be activated if the opponent's monster is destroyed by the battle.)


 * "If this face-up card would be destroyed by a card effect, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead." effect is a Continuous Effect. (Detaching the Xyz material is not a cost. This effect does not target. Also, this effect can be activated during the Damage Step.)


 * "Number F0: Future Hope" is not treated as a "Utopia" monster.


 * Unlike using "Number 39: Utopia" as the Xyz Material for "Number C39: Utopia Ray" or using the targeted monster as the Xyz Material with "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force", if you Xyz Summon "Number F0: Future Hope", you must use monsters written on the card (In case of "Number F0: Future Hope", 2 non-"Number" Xyz Monsters with the same Rank) as Xyz Materials and Xyz Summon as normal. If "Gagaga Cowboy" and "Gagaga Samurai" is used as the Xyz Materials for "Number F0: Future Hope", "Number F0: Future Hope" will have these two monsters as the Xyz Materials. Also, the Xyz Materials that "Gagaga Cowboy" and "Gagaga Samurai" had will not be treated as Xyz Materials for "Number F0: Future Hope", and will be sent to the graveyard.


 * "Number F0: Future Hope" requires "2 non-"Number" Xyz Monsters with the same Rank" as Xyz Materials. ("Number" monsters including "Number C" monsters cannot be used as Xyz Material.) For example, "Gagaga Cowboy" and "Gagaga Samurai" can be used as the Xyz Materials for "Number F0: Future Hope" since both monsters are Rank 4 Xyz monsters. Also, "Number F0: Future Hope" is always treated as a Rank 1 monster, but it does not require Rank 1 Xyz monsters as the Xyz Materials. (You can Xyz Summon "Number F0: Future Hope" 2 Rank 1 monsters, but 2 Rank 7 monsters or 2 Rank 10 monsters can be used to Xyz Summon "Number F0: Future Hope".)
