Rulings
- When Destiny Hero - Departed is sent to the GY to pay a cost, it is not removed from play.
- Destiny Hero - Departed's first effect is a Trigger Effect. It is not optional.
- Destiny Hero - Departed's effect is not activated while King Tiger Wanghu is face-up on the field because an infinite loop would result. If Destiny Hero - Departed's ATK would become greater than 1400 when Special Summoned, because of another card's effect, it is Special Summoned.
