Can a monster be special summoned from the graveyard without being properly summoned?

If the monster is a 'special summon only' monster, then it can be revived from the graveyard by cards like Monster Reborn, only if the monster was properly special summoned by the listed methods. Synchro, Ritual and Fusion monsters count, and are considered properly summoned when Synchro, Ritual or Fusion Summoned. In the case of Fusion Monsters who can't be Fusion Summoned (XYZ fusions, Gladiator Beast Gyzarus), then simply following the text is enough to count as properly summoning it. Examples of 'improperly' summoning them would by Cyber Stein, and Starlight Road, as these do not Fusion/Synchro Summon.
If the monster says 'cannot be special summoned except by', then there is no possible revival from the graveyard except in the most specific circumstances (Level Modulation), and even then, it must be properly summoned first.
Lastly, if the monster has neither restriction, then it does not need to be summoned properly first, these cards can be discarded and Monster Reborn'd freely.

In YuGiOh can a ritual monster be special summoned from the graveyard after using Ritual Foregone?
No, because it wasn't 'properly' special summoned. To be able to special summon a Ritual Monster from the graveyard, it has to be initially summoned by Ritual Summon. Ritual Foregone does not Ritual Summon.
Can cyber end dragon be summoned by activating fusion guard and monster reborn?
No. A Fusion Monster cannot be summoned from the graveyard unless it was properly special summoned first. Normally this would be Fusion Summon - the only exception are Fusion Monsters who can't be fusion summoned, like the Neos and XYZ fusions. All you need to do for those is follow their text, for them to be properly summoned. Either way, a Fusion Monster placed straight into the graveyard by Fusion Guard cannot ever be special summoned from the graveyard by any method.
Can you use 'Monster Reborn' or 'Call of the Haunted' on a 'Judgment Dragon' that goes to the graveyard after it has been properly summoned?

Can 'Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon' be brought back with 'Monster Reborn'?
If a monster says "can only be special summoned by.." then if you summon it properly by this method, and it then goes to the graveyard, you can bring it back with Monster Reborn. If a monster says "cannot be special summoned except by.." then that's the only way it can ever be summoned. Even if you summon it properly first, it cannot be revived from the graveyard, except under the most extreme and specific circumstances (Level Modulation). Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon belongs to this latter group, so cannot be special summoned from the graveyard at all.
You want to special summon a monster from your graveyard by using monster reborn BUT the card says it can only be special summoned by discarding a card from your handdo you need monster reborn?
A monster's special summon text only applies while it is in your hand. If a monster says it can 'only be' special summoned by a certain method, then assuming you do summon it properly, and it is then destroyed, then you are allowed to use Monster Reborn and do not have to pay any additional costs. If the above monster was simply discarded from hand by something else, then it can not be special summoned by Monster Reborn. If it says 'cannot be special summoned except by..' then it can't be brought back with Monster Reborn even if it was properly special summoned first.

Can you special summon Chaos Sorcerer from the graveyard?
If you properly Special Summoned him first, and he is then destroyed, you can special summon him back from the graveyard with cards like Monster Reborn. You do not need to remove another Light and Dark monster to do this, and just as important, you cannot remove a Light and Dark monster to special summon him from the graveyard, he can only be summoned from hand by doing that.

Can you special summon a monster that was discarded into the graveyard?
Cards which are special summon-only (ie, say 'can only be special summoned by' or 'cannot be special summoned except by') can not be simply discarded to the graveyard and summoned. 'Can only be special summoned by' monsters can be special summoned from the graveyard if they were properly summoned initially by the text on their card, before they ended up going to the graveyard. A note though, you resummon them with cards like Call of the Haunted, you can't use their own text again, that's for when they are in the hand only, unless specifically stated otherwise. 'Cannot be special summoned except by' generally cards can't be resummoned from the graveyard at all even if they were properly summoned first. There are one or two cards that can summon them, but they all specifically say they can do this - like Level Modulation - and still, the monster must have been summoned properly first.
Can 'Chaos Sorcerer' be special summoned from the graveyard?
Chaos Sorcerer must be initially summoned from hand. You cannot use his own special summon effect from any other location, like the graveyard. However, if he is properly special summoned by this method, and then destroyed, you are allowed to special summon him from the graveyard using cards like Monster Reborn. Monsters who say "can only be special summoned by..." all work like this, but ones who say "cannot be special summoned except by.." can't use any other method but their own. Lastly, if he's in the graveyard but was not properly summoned (like, his summon was negated, or he was simply discarded there) you can't use Monster Reborn on him.

Even if you summon it properly first, it cannot be revived from the graveyard, except under the most extreme and specific circumstances (Level Modulation). Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon belongs to this latter group, so cannot be special summoned from the graveyard at all.
Does Syncro Monsters Go To The Graveyard?
Yes, you can.You can special summon Synchro Monsters from the Graveyard, but they need to be properly Synchro Summoned first...Just like a Fusion monster. You see, if you properly synchro Summoned a monster and your opponent used "Lightning Vortex", you can simply use a "Monster Reborn" or any other card to recover it; since it was properly summoned. Although, if it is sent directly from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can say "bye-bye" to that card for the rest of the duel.
Can Neos Wiseman be special summoned from the graveyard?
Neos Wiseman is a 'cannot be special summoned except by' monster. That means his listed summon text is the only way he can ever be summoned, and can only do it while he is in your hand. You are unable to discard him then use Monster Reborn. Also even if he is properly special summoned first, he still can't be special summoned by Monster Reborn, unlike monsters who say 'can only be special summoned by'.
