Q1: Does this card's "Koji Minamoto: Cost 2" digivolution requirement mean that Koji Minamoto is treated as a Digimon when it digivolves?
No, Koji Minamoto digivolves as a Tamer.
Q2: Does this card's "Koji Minamoto: Cost 2" digivolution requirement to digivolve, do "when a Digimon digivolves" effects trigger?
No, they don’t trigger. "When a Digimon digivolves" effects don't trigger when a Tamer digivolves.
Q3: Does this card's "Koji Minamoto: Cost 2" digivolution requirement to digivolve, do "when a Digimon would digivolve" effects trigger?
No, they don’t trigger. "When a Digimon digivolves" effects don't trigger when a Tamer digivolves.
Q4: My opponent activates EX3-053 Metallicdramon's On Play effect. Can I digivolve an unsuspended Koji Minamoto using this card's "Koji Minamoto: Cost 2" digivolution requirement in the next turn?
Yes, you can. Because you're digivolving from a Tamer, it isn't considered an unsuspended Digimon.
Q5: Can I activate P-104 Mental Training's Delay effect and digivolve using this card's "Takuya Kanbara: Cost 2" digivolution requirement in the next turn?
No, you can't. P-104 Mental Training's Delay effect digivolves 1 Digimon. It doesn't digivolve Tamers.
Q6: If I use this Digimon's When Digivolving effect to digivolve into AncientGarurumon, then it digivolves or is affected by De-Digivolve, what happens to the "delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" effect?
Digimon carry over effects after digivolving or de-digivolving, therefore it's deleted at the end of the turn.
Q7: This Digimon has a Tamer card in its digivolution cards, and I used its When Digivolving effect to digivolve into AncientGarurumon, then it was affected by a De-Digivolve effect and became a Tamer. Does the "delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" effect delete this Tamer at such times?
No, it isn't deleted because it's no longer considered a Digimon.
Q8: I used BT3-109 Back for Revenge! on this Digimon, then I used this Digimon's When Digivolving effect to digivolve into AncientGarurumon. After this Digimon is deleted at the end of this turn, does BT3-109 Back for Revenge!'s effect play this card or AncientGarurumon into the battle area?
Digimon carry over effects after digivolving, therefore it plays AncientGarurumon.
Q9: I have a situation where I have my "BT17-023 KendoGarurumon" with "BT18-088 Takuya Kanbara & Koji Minamoto" as its digivolution card. At the End of Turn, I attacked with the When Attacking effect of "BT18-088 Takuya Kanbara & Koji Minamoto" and "BT17-023 Galummon" evolved into this card with the When Attacking effect of "BT17-023 Galummon". At this time, if this card's When Digivolving effect evolved into "Ancient Garurumon", will that "Ancient Garurumon" be deleted by this card's effect, although the timing of the end of turn has already passed?
No, it is not deleted. Effects that are processed when a specific timing is reached are processed as triggered when the timing is reached. If the Digivolved by this card's effect at the end of the turn, the "Delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" of this card is not processed because the timing to be at the end of the turn has passed.
