Forum:Grapha, Dragon Lord of DW special summoning opponent's monster

Hello,

I really wonder about the Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World's special summoning opponent's monster effect.

The question is 'Can Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, after it has been discarded by opponent card's effect, special summon the monster that has this condition stated in the card which is "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by..." ?

For example, player A has a Vampire Genesis in his hand and a Spirit Reaper on his side of the field. Player A directly attacks Player B who has nothing for defense but only Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World in his hand.

Then, Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World was discarded and, therefore, can activate the aformentioned special summoning effect by randomly choosing a card in Player A's hand which was the Vampire Genesis.

However, the Vampire Genesis's card description states firmly that "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play 1 "Vampire Lord" you control. Once per turn, you can discard 1 Zombie-Type monster to the Graveyard to select 1 Zombie-Type monster in your Graveyard with a Level less than the discarded Zombie-Type monster's, and Special Summon it."

So, what would happen in this case? I reall cannot figure it out.
