    • The card is removed from play face-up, and “Dimensional Alchemist” simultaneously gains 500 ATK.

  • The ② Optional “When […] you can” Trigger Effect can miss the timing.

    • This effect can activate in Substep 7 - End of the Damage Step when it is sent to the Graveyard.

    • This effect can activate when the last thing to happen in Chain Link 1 was this card’s destruction.

    • This effect cannot activate if this card was destroyed as Chain Link 2+.

    • This effect cannot activate if this card was removed from play, it must be sent to the Graveyard.
