Some Six Samurai questions

1) Grandmaster of the Six Samurai- if he is destroyed by opponent's effect, he can return itself to my hand, right?

2) If I use the "If this card is destroyed, you can destroy a monster with "The Six- samurai" in its name, excluding this card, instead." ability, to destroy my Grandmaster, then its effect does not activate right? (because he was destroyed by "my effect")

3) If I have a face-up Nisashi (for example) and then summon Yachi calling priority to destroy one of my opponent's set cards (he has 2 set), and target one, then my opponent activates the other, which is Ring of Destruction, targeting my Nisashi, will Yachi ability still activate? (I ask this because his effect states that you must have another Six Samurai face-up on the field to use it's effect, but I'm not sure if the text means activate or apply at all).

That's it for now.

Thanks in advance

Yes, he can :)

No, his effect won't activate. As you said, he needs to be destroyed by opponent's effect.

The effect is already activated. The activation condition needs to be alright only during activation of card, not during resolving of effect.

Okay, if I am wrong somewhere, I hope that someone will correct me :)

You are not wrong. The condition for activating his effect was already met. The fact that the opponent chained Ring of Destruction does not negate the activation. The opponent could chain Ring of Destruction even if another card was targeted and the condition still exists. The only difference is that the opponent loses an additional S/T card due to the effect.

I'm going to go with the "Grandmaster cannot select himself" belief. All over its been debated because of some less-than-official information said it could. Common sense, however, will support that it cannot.

It's effect is similar "Night Assailant", and "Spear Cretin", in that they get a monster back that could fill their own criteria. However, both rule that they cannot get back the exact copy that is being sent to the graveyard. I'll stick with that until something official proves right or wrong.

...I've heard it asked probably 52 times in the last week.

Actually, he can select himself with his effect. That was part of the hype they (meaning the UDE people) were giving when they initially announced it.

Oh wait, you want proof on these things.

And yes, the only people that post in that part of the forums is the user "Upperdeck". So yes, he can get himself. And frankly it's official enough (even if it doesn't logically follow, but whatever, since when did logic apply to this game) since there HASN'T been anything more official to say otherwise.
