if i ban a set monster the monster get banned face down? if i leave one of banned monsters(with ddr for example), when that card it's destroyed my opponent can return his monster?!
During a duel, several cards are involved, including Different Dimension Gate and D.D. Scout Plane.
If a face-down monster is selected for this effect, it will remain face-down while removed from play. So if a face-down "D.D. Scout Plane" is removed from play with this card, its effect will not activate. When a monster removed with "Different Dimension Gate" is sent to the Graveyard with "Miracle Dig", the monster won't return to the field when "Different Dimension Gate" is destroyed, but the other monster removed with "Different Dimension Gate" will still return to the field. This means you resolve the interaction according to that ruling, and any dependent parts only apply if the required condition or activation is successfully met.
Does Different Dimension Gate follow the same return logic as Junk Archer for removed monsters?!
Players are comparing rulings for Different Dimension Gate with similar temporary banish effects like Junk Archer.
Yes. The removed monsters return in their previous battle position when Different Dimension Gate is destroyed, similar to Junk Archer's temporary banish rulings used for Edison.
