Howdy folks,

Jus' need some quick clarification on a card, Evil Hero Dark Gaia. I didn't have any luck with finding any previous references to this, but please 'scuse me if it's already been covered. Anyhoo, here's the text of the card for reference:

Evil Hero Dark Gaia
1 Fiend-Type monster + 1 Rock-Type monster
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except with "Dark Fusion". The original ATK of this card is equal to the combined ATK of the Fusion Material Monsters used to Fusion Summon it. When this card declares an attack, change all Defense Position monsters your opponent controls to face-up Attack Posititon. (Flip Effects are not activated at this time.)

What I'm wondering is how far the attack for the card is retained? Would Book of Moon cause it to reset to 0 or would it being 'original attack' cause it to stay as such until it's killed? In the same vein, would removing it from the field with Interdimensional Matter Transporter 'till the end phase (for example) cause it to lose it's reference for it's attack or not? I choose IMT due to the 'except' special summoning restrictions. I'm really interested to see what you guys think on the subject, since it's confusing the heck outta me, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading! ;)
 
Both Book of Moon and Interdimensional Matter Transporter would cause its ATK to reset to 0.

The ATK thing lasts as long as it remains face-up on the field. If it's flipped face-down or removed from the field, even temporarily, then its ATK resets.
