Q1 Q2642
What does "this Digimon can't leave the battle area other than by deletion" in this card's [Start of Your Main Phase] effect mean, exactly?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
It means that this Digimon can no longer leave the battle area by processing other than deletion. Such processing includes "return to the hand/deck," "place in the security stack," and "place under another Digimon or Tamer." It only leaves the battle area by deletion.

Q2 Q2643
If a Digimon that's affected by this card's [Start of Your Main Phase] effect would be trashed because it has no DP, is it still prevented from leaving the battle area?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
No, the card is trashed. Digimon without DP can't be in the battle area according to the rules, therefore upon the rule check timing, the card is considered a card that doesn't belong in the battle area and is trashed. This is why that card is trashed even if that Digimon is affected by this card's [Start of Your Main Phase] effect.
