Card Rulings

  • The ② effect will trigger even if it is returned to the Extra Deck or banished.

  • “Starlight Road” can be chained to the ② effect as long as you control at least 2 monsters. (However, Stardust will only be summoned if this effect is being activated while in the Extra Deck).

  • The ② effect won’t trigger if it was face-down when removed from the field. (If it was attacked while face-down, it is flipped face-up, and does activate when destroyed by battle).

  • If this card is tributed to Tribute Summon a monster with a Trigger effect (i.e. any Monarch), the ② effect must be Chain Link 1.

Card Text

1 “Elemental Hero”, “Destiny Hero”, or “Evil Hero” monster + 1 WATER monster Ⓒ This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. ① This card gains 500 ATK for each face-up WATER monster on the field, except “Elemental Hero Absolute Zero”. ② When this card is removed from the field, destroy all monsters your opponent controls.

Card Rulings

  • Fusion Material cannot include “Hero Kid”, as it is neither a HERO monster nor a WATER monster.

  • The Ⓒ Condition restricts how this card can be Special Summoned.

    • This card CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Graveyard / removed from play.

    • This card CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by “Summoner of Illusions”.

  • The ① Continuous Effect does not activate.

    • This effect does not apply if your other WATER monster is named “Elemental Hero Absolute Zero”.

  • The ② mandatory Trigger Effect is activated by the owner of “Elemental Hero Absolute Zero”.

    • ACTIVATES IF: this face-up card leaves the field (even under your opponent’s control), even if it was returned to the Extra Deck.

    • DOES NOT ACTIVATE IF: this face-down card leaves the field [1, 2, 3].

  • VS. “Starlight Road”:

    • If Absolute Zero’s effect activated in the Graveyard / banished, “Starlight Road” can negate its effect but cannot destroy it. Thus, “Stardust Dragon” cannot be Special Summoned.

    • If Absolute Zero’s effect activated in the Extra Deck, “Starlight Road” can negate its effect and destroy it (sending it to the Graveyard), and “Stardust Dragon” can be Special Summoned.

  • VS. “De-Fusion”:

    • If “Elemental Hero Prisma” used its effect to change its name to “Elemental Hero Neos” and was used alongside a WATER monster to Fusion Summon Absolute Zero, you can still Special Summon that same “Elemental Hero Prisma” when “De-Fusion” resolves and returns Elemental Hero Absolute Zero to the Extra Deck, even though it was being treated as “Elemental Hero Neos” at the time of the Fusion Summon.
