Forum:Kaiju monsters and summoning conditions?

Let's say my opponent has a Kaiju monster on the field. I want to tribute a monster on his field to special summon my Kaiju to his field, except... the monster I choose to tribute would be his Kaiju. People tell me I can't do that because even though a tributed monster is technically no longer on the field, the process of special summoning happens at the same time, thus I would not be allowed to tribute his Kaiju unless both the act of tributing and special summoning are happening at different times (thus no Chains involved).

This sounds like the bogus technicality with monsters like the Koa'ki Meiru Wall that bypasses Soul Drain since the effect it uses to negate Spells would not be negated due to not being in the grave upon activation, and yet Skill Drain also cannot stop that monster because the effect does not activate on the field or resolve in either place.

Can someone clear this up for me, or is this Konami failing to word their effects correctly? I mean, we see cards that say "Once per Turn", and yet some cards don't require the text "On either player's turn" or even "This is a Quick Effect" to be an actual Quick Effect, which can confuse easily. You know what I'm talking about. RPG4Life (talk • contribs) 00:16, August 10, 2017 (UTC)
