●(This card is always treated as an Archfiend card)
●Monsters destroyed by this card as a result of battle are not sent to the GY, so Sangan or Mystic Tomato would not have their effects activated, and the effect of Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer won't prevent them from being removed from play.
●This card does not negate the effects of monsters it destroys as a result of battle, so a Flip Effect like Cyber Jar or Trigger Effect like D.D. Warrior Lady will still be activated. Cyber Jar would still be removed from play in this example, since damage calculation occurs normally.
●If Lesser Fiend battles with Relinquished equipped with a Monster Card, and that equipped card is destroyed instead of Relinquished, it is not removed from play since it is the effect of Relinquished that destroyed it and not as a result of battle with Lesser Fiend.
