Scout Plane' is destroyed by 'Raigeki Break' it is removed from play and its effect activates because it is placed face-up out of play. [Re: D.D. Scout Plane] 'D.D. Scout Plane''s effect can only activate once during the same End Phase so if a combo of 'Banisher of the Light' and 'King Tiger Wanghu' is set up 'D.D. Scout Plane' will only be Special Summoned once. [Re: Dark Coffin] If 'Banisher of the Light' is in play then 'Dark Coffin' does not activate its effect when destroyed because it is not sent to the Graveyard. [Re: Dark Necrofear] If 'Banisher of the Light' is on the field when 'Dark Necrofear' is destroyed the 'Dark Necrofear' is removed from play and does not return as an Equip Spell Card. [Re: Dark Nephthys] You can activate 'Dark Nephthys'' first effect while 'Banisher of the Light' or 'Macro Cosmos' is face-up but 'Dark Nephthys' will be removed from play. [Re: Dimensional Inversion] If your opponent controls 'Macro Cosmos' 'Banisher of the Light' etc. and an effect is activated by either player that sends a monster to the Graveyard you can activate 'Dimensional Inversion'. This is because your monster is being removed from play (instead of being sent to the Graveyard) by the effect of your opponent's card. [Re: Emergency Provisions] While 'Banisher of the Light' is face-up on the field you cannot activate 'Emergency Provisions' since it is impossible to send cards to the Graveyard. [Re: Fatal Abacus] Monsters that are removed from play and monsters that are destroyed while 'Banisher of the Light' is on the field do not trigger this card's effect.This is because they never go to the Graveyard. [Re: Gemini Imps] You cannot activate the effect of 'Gemini Imps' while 'Banisher of the Light' is face-up on the field because it would not be possible to send 'Gemini Imps' to the Graveyard. [Re: Giant Kozaky] The effect of 'Giant Kozaky' that inflicts damage to the controller activates in the Graveyard or the 'removed zone' wherever 'Giant Kozaky' goes to after being destroyed. 'The End of Anubis' will negate the effect of 'Giant Kozaky' if it was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard but 'Banisher of the Light' will not (because 'Giant Kozaky' does not have to be 'destroyed and sent to the Graveyard'). Nor will 'Skill Drain' negate the damage if 'Giant Kozaky' is destroyed. [Re: Grave Protector] If 'Banisher of the Light' and 'Grave Protector' are both active destroyed monsters are removed from play. [Re: Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button] 'Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button' starts a chain at the time that it is sent to the Graveyard. If 'Banisher of the Light' is on the field and 'Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button' is removed from play its effect still activates because it only has to be destroyed. [Re: Mystical Knight of Jackal] If 'Banisher of the Light' is in play the monster is removed from play and 'Mystical Knight of Jackal' does not activate its effect so the monster does not return to the top of the Deck.

The effect of 'Banisher of the Light' is not applied until after 'Reasoning' resolves. [Re: Return of the Doomed] If 'Banisher of the Light' is on the field a monster that is destroyed will be removed from play and cannot return to your hand since it never went to the Graveyard. [Re: Samsara] If 'Samsara' and 'Banisher of the Light' are both on the field the monsters Tributed for a Ritual Summon will be shuffled back into the Deck.
