If your "Elemental HERO Absolute Zero" is under your opponent's control, then when it is banished by "Dark Core" etc, it activates as your effect, and you destroy all monsters on your opponent's field. If it is banished temporarily with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter"/"Dimensionhole"/etc, then it is considered to be under your opponent's control while banished, so it activates as your opponent's effect and destroys all monsters on your field.: When your "Elemental Hero Absolute Zero" is banished from your opponent's field, are either player's monsters destroyed?

If "Beast King Barbaros" or "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" is Normal Summoned without Tributes and has its ATK/DEF changed, then if it is flipped face-down by an effect like "Book of Moon", then the effect which changes its ATK/DEF is no longer applied, so "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" returns to 2800/2000. Also, if it is banished by "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", then the effect which changes its ATK/DEF is no longer applied as soon "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" leaves the field, so "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" returns to 2800/2000.: If "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" or "Beast King Barbaros" are Normal Summoned without Tributes and then are flipped face-down, then what are its ATK and DEF?

If you gain control of an opponent's monster with an effect like "Brain Control" or "Enemy Controller" and then the monster is banished by "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", then after the monster returns to the field during the End Phase, your opponent still regains control of the monster. Also, if the monster is banished by "Dimensionhole", then during the Standby Phase the monster returns to the opponent's side of the field.: When a monster whose control you gained by an effect like "Enemy Controller" is banished, does the monster return to the field of its original owner?

For effects like "Future Visions" and "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", when the banished monster is returned to the field the monster is not treated as being Special Summoned, so effects like "Torrential Tribute" may not be activated.: When a monster which was banished by "Future Visions" or "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" returns to the field, is it treated as a Special Summon?

If an effect like "Book of Moon" or "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" is Chained to the effect of "Worm Bait"Worm Bait" face-up on your side of the field when resolving the effect of "Worm Bait", then the "Worm Tokens" are still Special Summoned.: If "Worm Bait" is not face-up on the field when it resolves, then are the "Worm Tokens" still Special Summoned?

If "Battle Fader" is Special Summoned by its effect and then banished by an effect like "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", then "Battle Fader" is treated as being banished by its effect "banish this card when it leaves the field.", so during the next End Phase "Battle Fader" is not returned to the field and remains banished.: If "Battle Fader" is banished by "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", then does it return to the field during the End Phase?

Suppose you banish "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" with a card like "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", and then Summon another "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon", all while "Skill Drain" is active. During the End Phase, even though the effect "There can only be 1 face-up "Malefic" monster on the field." of the "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" on the field is negated, that effect of the banished "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is still active, so the banished "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cannot return to the field. Thus, the banished "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is sent to the Graveyard.: Can a second "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" return to the field by the effect of "Interdimensional Matter Transporter"?

Flelf: After the effect of "Flelf" resolves and increases its Level, if "Flelf" is flipped face-down by "Book of Moon" or banished by "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", then you no longer apply the Level-increasing effect.: After you increase the Level of "Flelf", if it becomes face-down or is banished, then does the Level return to its original value?

Gandora the Dragon of Destruction: Suppose "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" is banished by "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" during the turn in which "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" was Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned.
