  • Only the owner of Despair from the Dark can use its effect, because it has to be sent from your hand to your GY.
  • When you discard Despair from the Dark with Painful Choice, Despair from the Dark's effect does not activate because it was your own card effect that caused it.
  • If Despair from the Dark is sent to the GY during a card effect's resolution, or during a chain, activate Despair from the Dark's effect after the current effect or chain has resolved.
  • If Despair from the Dark is sent to the GY by Last Turn's effect, Despair from the Dark is Special Summoned to the field before the attack of Last Turn happens.
  • Q: If "Despair from the Dark" is sent to the GY through the effect of "Morphing Jar #2", will its effect be activated? A: Yes it would be Special Summoned, but not until after the effect of Morphing Jar #2 has completed resolving.
