Official Rulings:
 * Member of the "Kronos" archetype.
 * " If this card is Special Summoned: draw 1 card and reveal it, then if it’s a “Kronos” card, discard it, and if you do, banish all other cards in this card’s column. If the revealed card is not a “Kronos” card: return this card to the Extra Deck. " is a obligatory Trigger Effect. It cannot miss timing and does not target. This effect will resolve even if this card leaves the field, however in this case, it will not banish any cards since the game state does not recognize in what column this card is in. If the revealed card is not a "Kronos" card then this card will return itself to the Extra Deck, regardless of it's current location.
 * " Neither player can control 2 or more monsters with the same Level/Rank. (Cards already on the field before this card was Summoned are unaffected by this effect.) " is a Continuous Effect, it does not activate. While in effect, neither player can Summon, by any means, a monster with a Level/Rank equal to that of a monster they control, but they can set. However, any monster that is Set after this card was Summoned, if it's flipped face-up and it has an equal Level to a monster on the controllers side of the field, that flipped monster is immediately sent to the Graveyard by game mechanics.
 * " If this card is banished: You can banish 3 “Kronos” cards from your Graveyard; Special Summon this banished card during your next Standby Phase after this effect’s activation. " Is an optional Trigger Effect. Banish 3 cards is a cost. This effect leaves a lingering effect that resolves during the Standby Phase of the owner's next Standby Phase. If after activating this effect and before being Summoned by it, if this card leaves the Banish Zone, it will not be Summoned. If this card is banished before being properly Synchro Summoned, this effect cannot be activated.
