Card Rulings:Otohime

Spirit Monster rulings

 * The following rules apply to all Spirit Monsters:
 * Spirit is not a Type; you cannot declare "Spirit" for the effect of DNA Surgery.
 * Spirit Monsters are still Effect Monsters.
 * A Spirit Monster must be face-up on the field during the End Phase for it to return to the owner's hand. If it was destroyed or removed from play, it will not return to the owner's hand.
 * A Spirit Monster will return to the owner's hand during the End Phase, even if the opponent played it from their hand (such as through the effect of Exchange).

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * [Re: Amazoness Archers] If "Fushioh Richie" or "Otohime" are flipped face-up by "Amazoness Archers' effect, their effects are activated because their effects are not Flip Effects; their effects begin a new chain that resolves after the current chain.
