OCG Rulings[]
- The effect "Other monsters cannot change their battle position or attack." is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- The effect "Once per turn, you can equip 1 monster your opponent controls to this card (max 1)." is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 monster in your opponent's Monster Zone. It can also target a face-down Defense Position monster.)[1]
- The effect "This card's ATK and DEF become the same as the equipped monster's. If this card would be destroyed by battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead." is a Continuous Effect. (It is only applied if a monster is equipped to this card by the effect of "Thousand-Eyes Restrict".)[1]
- If a Ritual Monster in your hand is listed as a Fusion Material on a Fusion Monster, you can use that Ritual Monster as a Fusion Material. Therefore, when Fusion Summoning "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", you can use a "Relinquished" in your hand as a Fusion Material.[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. References: [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] |
- If 2 or more "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" are face-up on the field, no monsters can attack.
- If "Imperial Order" is active, "Thousand-Eyes Restrict's" ATK and DEF still are still equal to the Monster Card it is equipped with.
- The Battle Position of monsters can still be changed with card effects.
- If "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" is equipped with a face-down Monster Card, its ATK and DEF become 0.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Ameba / Griggle: This card’s effect is not activated when equipped to an opponent’s ... "Thousand-Eyes Restrict".
- Blindly Loyal Goblin: Your opponent cannot target your "Blindly Loyal Goblin" with the effect of..."Thousand-Eyes Restrict".
- Deck Devastation Virus: If you use "Change of Heart" to take control of your opponent's "Magical Scientist" during the turns after "Deck Devastation Virus" has resolved, it will not be destroyed. If you then use its effect to Special Summon "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", it will also not be destroyed.

- Last Turn: If you activate "Last Turn" and select your face-up "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", the turn player cannot attack so unless they can destroy your "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" with a card effect, each of you will have a monster during the End Phase and the Duel will end in a DRAW.
- Remove Brainwashing: "Remove Brainwashing" has no effect on a Monster Card equipped to..."Thousand-Eyes Restrict", and the Monster Card remains where it is, because it is an Equip Spell Card.
Out of Date
- Collected Power: Monster Cards equipped to "Relinquished" or "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" can be moved to another "Relinquished [sic] or "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" but if either of these monsters is already equipped with a Monster Card, the new one is destroyed. If these moved to any other monster, the cards are destroyed.[Notes 1]
Notes[]
- ↑ Version 8.0 of the official rulebook states that monsters treated as Equip Card (except Union monsters equipped by their own effects) cannot have their equip target changed.
