If a Six Samurai is Summoned and immediately Booked, do Gateway/United counters still place?!
A Six Samurai is successfully Summoned and then flipped face-down.
Yes. Counters are placed upon successful Summon, before any effects can be activated.
If my Six Samurai is Bottomlessed, do I still get Gateway counters?!
A Six Samurai monster is Summoned and Bottomless Trap Hole is activated.
Yes. The monster was successfully Summoned, so Gateway gains counters even if it is immediately destroyed afterward.
