- By digivolving that Digimon into a Digimon card with Imperialdramon in its name in your hand without paying the cost, prevent that deletion.
Rulings
Q1: When I use this card's Main effect to digivolve into a level 5 or higher Digimon card with the Free trait in the hand, can it digivolve regardless of its digivolution requirements?
No, this card's Main effect does not allow ignoring digivolution requirements, so you can only digivolve into a card that meets the digivolution requirements.
Q2: When I use this card's Delay effect to digivolve into a Digimon card with {{EffectLinkArchetype|Imperialdramon}} in the hand, can it digivolve regardless of its digivolution requirements?
No, this card's Delay effect does not allow ignoring digivolution requirements, so you can only digivolve into a card that meets the digivolution requirements.
Q3: When BT16-025 Paildramon is deleted by an opponent's effect, can I activate BT16-025 Paildramon's Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) effect after using this card's Delay effect to digivolve?
No, you can't activate it. Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) and this card's Delay effect will trigger simultaneously, but if you use this card's effect to digivolve first, the triggered Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) on BT16-025 Paildramon will be negated and won't activate.
Q4: When BT16-025 Paildramon is deleted by an opponent's effect, can I activate BT16-025 Paildramon's Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) inherited effect after using this card's Delay effect to digivolve?
No, you can't activate it. BT16-025 Paildramon's Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) inherited effect can't be activated because it doesn't trigger when the Digimon is deleted by an opponent's effect.
Q5: When a Digimon with BT16-025 Paildramon in its digivolution cards is deleted by an opponent's effect, can I activate BT16-025 Paildramon's Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) inherited effect after using this card's Delay effect to digivolve?
Yes, you can. Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) and this card's Delay effect will trigger simultaneously, and the triggered Partition (blue Lv.4 + green Lv.4) on BT16-025 Paildramon can be activated, even if you use this card's effect to digivolve first.
Q6: If multiple Digimon with "Free" in their trait are simultaneously deleted outside of my effect, and I activate the All Your Turns effect of this card, can I make all of those Digivolves digivolve and no longer disappear?
No, you cannot. Only one card can be evolved at a time. You cannot have multiple cards digivolving separately at the same time. Therefore, if multiple Digimons with "Free" as a trait are deleted by an effect other than your own, only one of them can be evolved by the effect of this card. Also, only the digivolved Digimon will not be deleted.
Q7: During my opponent's turn, when a Digimon with "Free" in its trait is deleted by an effect other than my own, I evolved that Digimon into "EX3-063 Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode" with this card's Your Turns effect. At this time, can I attack "EX3-063 Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode" with its When Digivolving effect, "Blitz"?
No, you cannot. Only the turn player can attack. In this situation, you cannot make your "EX3-063 Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode" attack because it is not your turn.
