Card effect (current official text)While this card is on the field, this card's name becomes "Umi". Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Fish, Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monster you control; banish that target. During your End Phase: Special Summon the monster(s) banished by this effect.
Rulings
- You can activate the effect to remove a monster from play on either player’s turn.
- It targets that monster.
- Special Summoning the monster does not target.
- If you take control of your opponent’s monster and remove it from play, it returns to your side of the field during your End Phase.
- The field is not treated as "Umi" while this card is active.
- "Royal Decree" will negate the effect to treat this card’s name as "Umi."
- The effect to remove a monster from play is Spell Speed 2 and can be activated during either player’s turn. It starts a Chain.
- If you remove 1 monster from play on your opponent’s turn and another during your turn, both will be Special Summoned during the End Phase. They are Special Summoned at the same time, so if you only have 1 open Monster Card Zone you choose 1 monster to Special Summon and the other goes to the GY.
- The effect to Special Summon starts a Chain.
- If you control this card and "A Legendary Ocean" you can send either to the GY to activate the effect of "Codarus."
