OCG Rulings[]
- The Special Summon of a Synchro Monster which used "Eccentric Boy" as a Synchro Material Monster is treated as a Synchro Summon. Thus, the Synchro Monster is treated as if it was Synchro Summoned properly, so the Synchro Monster may be Special Summoned by effects like "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation".[1]
- You cannot Special Summon a Synchro Monster if it was not properly Synchro Summoned previously, such as if it was removed from play directly from the Extra Deck. Thus, you cannot use an effect like "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation" or "Return from the Different Dimension" to Special Summon a "Stardust Dragon" which was removed from play to Special Summon "Malefic Stardust Dragon". Also, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" are Normal Summon monsters, so they may be Special Summoned even if they are removed from play directly from the Deck.[2]
Previously Official Rulings[]
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[3] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- You cannot activate "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation" if you do not have any monsters in your Removed Zone that can be Special Summoned, even if you would discard a monster while "Macro Cosmos" or "Dimensional Fissure" is face-up on the field.
