The effects of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" do not target.: Effect Monster > Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow

If "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" is Special Summoned by its effect, then a Replay occurs, and the opponent can choose to stop the attack.

When the opponent declares a second direct attack, the effect of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" can be activated even if the monster which declared the first direct attack is no longer face-up on the field. After "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" is Special Summoned, its effect "this card's ATK and DEF becomes equal to the ATK and DEF of the first monster that attacked directly this turn" still activates, but the monster which performed the first direct attack is no longer face-up on the field, so the effect is not applied and the ATK and DEF of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" become 0.: Can the effect of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" be activated if the monster which attacked directly the first time is not on the field?

The effect of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" which alters its ATK and DEF does not target. When "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" is Special Summoned, its ATK and DEF become the same as the monster which performed the first direct attack.: Does the effect of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" which makes its ATK and DEF the same as the monster which attacked directly the first time target?

If the first direct attack that your opponent declares is negated by an effect like "Magic Cylinder", then that attack does not count as the first direct attack. Thus, if your opponent declares another direct attack, then you cannot Special Summon "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" from your hand.: If the first direct attack is negated, then can "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" be Special Summoned the next time there is a direct attack?

If you have copies of "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow", "Battle Fader", and "Darkness Neosphere" in your hand and your opponent declares a second direct attack, then you can only activate one of those card's effects and Special Summon one of those cards.: Can you activate the effects of "Battle Fader" and "Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow" which Special Summon them in a Chain?
