9500: Can both players use the effect of ""?
 * The effect of ":" can only be used by the player who activated it.
 * Card Rulings:

9501: If "" is active, then can you Tribute Summon by Tributing two monsters?
 * When Tribute Summoning a Level 7+ monster, applying the effect of ":" is optional. If ":" is active, then you can choose to not apply its effect and Tribute Summon a Level 7+ monster by Tributing two monsters, including a Level 5+ monster(s).
 * Card Rulings:

9502: If an ATK is increased by an Equip Spell Card, then how does "" change the ATK?
 * Card Rulings:: When ":" resolves, its effect replaces the monster's ATK and DEF values.
 * Example: "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" (1900 ATK / 1300 DEF) is equipped with "Axe of Despair" (+1000 ATK). After ":" resolves, "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" will have 1300 ATK / 2900 DEF.  These values do not change if "Axe of Despair" is destroyed.  Afterwards, if "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" is then equipped with "Black Pendant" (+500 ATK), then "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" will have 1800 ATK.

9503: If there are no "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters when resolving "", then can you destroy cards on the opponent's field?
 * When resolving ":", if you do not control any "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters - for example, if "Book of Moon" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device" is Chained - then the effect of ":" which destroys the opponent's cards still resolves.

9504: How long does the ATK/DEF-replacing effect of "" last?
 * The ATK and DEF which are replaced by the effect of ":" remain as long as the monster remains face-up on the field. If the monster is flipped face-down or is removed from the field, then its ATK and DEF return to their original amounts.
 * Card Rulings:

9505: Are the "destroy" and "recover" effects of "" treated as resolving simultaneously?
 * The effect of ":" which destroys the monster and the effect which recovers Life Points are treated as resolving simultaneously.
 * Example: If "Archfiend of Gilfer" is destroyed by ":", then you can equip "Archfiend of Gilfer" to a monster on the field.
 * Card Rulings:Archfiend of Gilfer Card Rulings:

9506: Can the effect of "" or "Pineapple Blast" destroy Spell and Trap Cards?
 * The effect of ":" destroys cards on the opponent's side of the field, so you can also destroy Spell and Trap Cards until your opponent controls the same number of cards as you control monsters.
 * The effect of "Pineapple Blast" destroys the opponent's monsters, so you cannot destroy Spell nor Trap Cards until your opponent controls the same number of monsters as you.
