Forum:Does Spring of Rebirth activate when Fusion/Synchro monsters return to the hand?

A. The controller of Spring of Rebirth gains 500 life points every time monsters return from the field to the owner's hand.

B. If a Synchro monster returns to the hand or the main deck via card effect, it is returned to the extra deck instead.

Does Spring of Rebirth activate when Fusion/Synchro monsters return to the hand?

For example:

1. Red Dragon Archfiend (synchro monster) attacks Wall of Illusion [Effect: A monster that attacks this monster is returned to its owner's hand after damage calculation. Damage calculation is applied normally.].

2.Wall of Illusion is destroyed by Red Dragon Archfiend

3.Red Dragon Archfiend is "returned to its owner's hand" via Wall of Illusion's card effect (that is, it would literally return to the extra deck since it is a synchro monster).

4a. Spring of Rebirth DOES NOT activate, since the card did not literally move from the field to the hand.

OR

4b. Spring of Rebrith DOES activate, since according to Wall of Illusion's effect, the attacking monster is returning to the hand.
