What happens to a Special Summoned Gemini monster?

The answer to this question can vary. Unless the card that Special Summoned the Gemini Monster specifically says otherwise, the Gemini Monster will be treated as a Normal Monster. If you have not already Normal Summoned this turn, you can perform said action on the Special Summoned Gemini Monster. There may be cards such as Black Brutdrago that states "The Special Summoned monster is treated as an Effect Monster, and gains its effect." In this case, as it states, the Special Summoned monster gains its effect while it is on the field and you do not have to resummon it.

Can 'The Rock Spirit' be summoned from the graveyard?

"The Rock Spirit" can only be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, if it was Special Summoned from the Hand via its effect first. In other words, if it was "improperly" sent to the Graveyard, such as by discarding from the Hand, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. If it was successfully Special Summoned by its own effect onto the field and is then sent to the Graveyard, it is then elligible to be Special Summoned from the same Graveyard. However, if it's Special Summon was negated by a card effect such as "Solemn Judgment" and sent to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.

How do you summon Goldd Wu-Lord of Dark World in Yu-gi-oh?

He can be Normal Summoned by offering one monster as tribute as normal.If you discard him to the graveyard by an effect of a card (NOT a 'cost'), then you can special summon him from the graveyard. So Dark World Lightning would let you special summon him, discarding a card is part of the effect and not an activation cost. But discarding him for Dark Core, which is a cost, would not let him summon himself.If it is an opponent's effect that causes you to discard him, then as above you can target up to two of the opponent's cards, then special summon Goldd and destroy the targets, if any.


Where can you special summon Blackwing Hillen the Tengu-wind from in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Hillen the Tengu-Wind triggers and special summons himself while in the graveyard. If he activates his effect and something moves him to another zone, then his effect resolves without effect, the other monster won't be summoned either. He can of course be special summoned from any appropriate zone by any other special summon card as he is not special summon-only and there are no other restrictions.
