Forum:Gagaga Gunman: ONLY during damage step?

Hello. I have a question that might seem stupid, but i'm asking it cause i learned that one single word can change the meaning of a card effect:

Gagaga Gunman 's first effect modifies his atk during the damage step, but i noticed they didn't use the phrase :"During the damage step ONLY". Does his effect increase his ATK only until the end of the damage step, or does it last until he is face-up on the field? Thank you Imadmagician (talk • contribs) 05:48, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
