• It is destroyed and banished by “Bottomless Trap Hole”.

• Its Summon is negated by “Solemn Judgment” or “Thunder King Rai-Oh”.

• It would be sent from the field to the GY while “Skill Drain” is applying.

• It would be sent from the field to the GY while “Grave Protector” is applying.

• It would be sent from the field to the GY while “G.B. Hunter” is applying.
