Destroy (破壊 Hakai) is a term that refers to the act of moving a Z/X to another zone, generally into the Charge, as a result of battle or effect.

A Z/X is said to be "destroyed" by Rule Effect if it received damage equal to or greater than its Power, or if its Power is reduced to 0 or less. A Z/X is also said to be "destroyed" if it was affected by any effect that specifically said to "destroy" it.

While destroyed cards are generally put into their owner's Charge, certain abilities or effects (like "Easygoing Rurijissa" and "Magical Beast of the Country of Mirror, Jabberwock") may instead put the destroyed cards into other zones.

Destroyed by Battle[]

If a Z/X is destroyed as a result of the damage it receives during the Battle Damage Step, that Z/X is considered as "destroyed by battle", and the Z/X that dealt lethal damage to that Z/X is considered as the one that "destroys (that Z/X) by battle". However, neither of them will be considered as such if the destroyed Z/X is destroyed by any other means of damage outside the Battle Damage Step (even the one that occurs during that same battle).

Destroyed by Card Effect[]

If a Z/X is destroyed as a result of an effect or ability that originated from a card, that Z/X is considered as "destroyed by (a) card's effect" or "destroyed by ... ability", even if the effect or ability doesn't specifically mention "destroy" in its text. This includes being destroyed as a result of receiving lethal damage or having its Power reduced to 0 or less from an effect or ability.

However, a Z/X is not considered as destroyed by a card's effect or ability if it was destroyed as a result of dealing with the aftermath of said effect or ability. For example, if you control 2 "Ciel the Sky" on Normal Square with the first one already taken 3500 damage, and then your opponent plays "Hero of Restoration, Sakamoto Ryouma" to deal 1500 damage to the first "Ciel" and 4500 damage to the second "Ciel", the first "Ciel" is considered as being destroyed by the ability "Sakamoto Ryouma" since the damage was lethal, but the second "Ciel" is not as it was destroyed by having its Power reduced after the first "Ciel" is destroyed.

Comprehensive Rules[]

1007 Destroy

  • 1007.1 If there is an instruction to "destroy (a card)", if that card is a Z/X, move that card into its owner's Charge. If that card is not a Z/X, move that card into its owner's Trash.
  • 1007.2 If a Z/X is put from Square into Charge by any method without the instruction to "destroy", that action is not considered as "destroy".

1203 Destroyed by Battle

  • 1203.1 If a Z/X receives damage (1001.1) during the Battle Damage Step of a battle, and is destroyed by Lethal Damage Effect (904) in the propriety preprocessing (702) immediately after that, that Z/X is considered as "destroyed by battle".
  • 1203.2 If a Z/X deals damage (1001.1) during the Battle Damage Step of a battle, and the unit that was dealt damage is destroyed by Lethal Damage Effect (904) in the priority preprocessing (702) immediately after that, the Z/X that dealt damage in that battle is considered as "destroyed (the Z/X that received damage) by battle".

1204 Destroyed by Card Effect

  • 1204.1 If a Z/X is destroyed by an effect that originates from a card, that Z/X is considered as destroyed by the source of the effect.
  • 1204.2 If a Z/X is specified by an effect to be processed with the "destroy" keyword, the Z/X is considered as destroyed by that effect.
  • 1204.3 If a Z/X is dealt damage by a singular effect or has its Power reduced by a new occurrence of continuing effect, and is destroyed by Lethal Damage Effect (904) from the first Rule Effect (900) in the priority preprocessing (702) immediately after executing the singular effect or after applying the continuing effect, that Z/X is considered as destroyed by the source of the effect that dealt damage to or reduced the Power of that Z/X.
  • 1204.3a If a Z/X that is already damaged or has its Power reduced by a source is destroyed by additional damage or a new occurrence of Power reduction from another source, it is not considered as being destroyed by the source of the effect that dealt damage to or reduced the Power of that Z/X before the last effect.
  • 1204.3b If a new Rule Effect occurred after dealing with the first Rule Effect in the priority preprocessing, and a damaged Z/X becomes destroyed because of that, that Z/X is not considered as being destroyed by the effect that previously occurred.
Example : You controls 2 "Ciel the Sky" (Power 4500, gets Power +500 for every 1 of your [Angel] on Square except this card), and one of them has taken 3500 damage. Your opponent puts "Hero of Restoration, Sakamoto Ryouma" (when appears, distribute 6000 damage to up to 2 Z/X on Normal Square) on Square, deals 1500 damage to the damaged "Ciel the Sky", and deals 4500 damage to the other "Ciel the Sky". The former "Ciel the Sky" is destroyed by the first Rule Effect, and the latter "Ciel the Sky" is destroyed by the new Rule Effect that occurred a the result. Because of that, while the former "Ciel the Sky" is considered as destroyed by the effect of "Hero of Restoration, Sakamoto Ryouma", the latter "Ciel the Sky" is not considered as being destroyed by the effect of "Hero of Restoration, Sakamoto Ryouma".
  • 1204.3c If a Z/X is destroyed by battle damage (604.3a), that Z/X is not destroyed by effect.
