Forum:Suppose a Zenmaines punches a Blue Eyes in the face (Activation question)

So, I have a question. I was looking over the rulings and tips sections for Wind-Up Zenmaines and something occurred to me; if Zenmaines' effect triggers when it would be destroyed, then it should occur by battle as well, yes? So as long as Zenmaines has an Xyz material, you could have it attack an opponent's stronger monster, lose some health points, lose a material and destroy that monster at the End Phase.

I'm curious because I had been planning to include that in the Tips section myself; however, it seems a bit obvious, and because I didn't see it there, I'm wondering if there's a bit of technicality voiding that possible effect. If not, I obviously don't plan to make the edit, but if that's the case, I'd like to know why.

If there's no issue, well. I'll add it, just in case it comes in handy for somebody.
