Dimension Fusion vs. XYX-Dragon Cannon: Finally resolved.

[densetsu_x]

Many people (including myself) have long wondered about the strange ruling for Dimension Fusion vs. XYZ-type monsters, which said that Dimension Fusion could revive them if they were Summoned "properly" in the first place (which is impossible according to the text).



This mystery has been solved. It seems that the Japanese text for the XYZ-monsters was revised before Magician's Force was released here. So we've always had the "modern" wording on the cards.



The Dimension Fusion vs. XYZ ruling referred to the original XYZ text (which we never had). But the ruling based on the original text was still "on the books" even after the text was changed.



This has been fixed. Case closed.

Translation: Finally. So no Dimension Fusion for the XYZ Fusions, effectively making all of them Nomi-monsters.

Why doesn't Kevin says in the end that you can't use Dimension Fusion. I thought first he only explained why. After I was that you said it couldn't.

Sometimes Kevin likes to talk in a 'round about' way.

He says the issue was because the card text was changed but the ruling was never removed. So when he says, "This has been fixed..", we're supposed to take that to mean the ruling has been removed 'from the books' as he put it.

Hope this helps.
