Best Answer

Really, only traps that negate his summon will work. That is because if his summon is negated, he never hits the field, and his continuous effect never 'switches on'.

So Solemn Judgment, Horn of Heaven and Forced Back can all negate his summon. Note that since his effect is continuous and does not activate, you cannot use Divine Wrath or Gladiator Beast War Chariot.

Secondly, if a Skill Drain is already active before he is summoned, when he hits the field, his trap negation effect will not switch on. Skill Drain will negate his effect, and other traps can be activated as normal.

Lastly, his effect only works while he's on the field, so can be affected while he's in the hand, with cards like Trap Dustshoot.

Does Skill Drain Work On Jinzo?

It depends on which is played first if u played skill drain before jinzo then jinzo cant negate traps but you cant activate skill drain after jinzo is summoned.


Can Torrential tribute kill jinzo?

Only if Jinzo's effect is being negated, or he is face down. When Jinzo is successfully summoned, his continuous effect will be applied before traps can be activated in response. That means you cannot use summon-responsive cards like Torrential Tribute or BTH while he is face-up on the field.


What does Jinzo do?

Jinzo is a powerful card. His text reads: Trap Cards cannot be activated. The effects of all face-up Trap Cards are negated.When he is summoned, either by Tribute Summoning or Special Summoning, the instant he is face-up on the field no Traps work or can be activated. No, he doesn't destroy Trap cards, but any face-down Trap cards cannot be flipped to activate their effect. So if you were planning on activating Trap Hole or Torrential Tribute when Jinzo is summoned, it will not be able to activate.If either player has a face-up Trap card, it is negated as well. For example, let's say the oppoent has Solemn Wishes face-up on the field. Whenever they darw a card, they gain 500 LP. Now with Jinzo on the field, when they draw a card, Solemn Wishes will not activate and he/she will not gain 500 LP. An important thing to remember is that Jinzo's Trap-negation applies to both players, so your Traps are inactive and negated too!As a rule of thumb we can say that when Jinzo hits the field, Traps are done for, but in reality there are a few ways to get around Jinzo. If Jinzo is removed from the field (returned to hand, sent to Graveyard, etc.) or flipped face-down, Traps can start working again. If any Trap card like Threatening Roar is activated before Jinzo is summoned, Threatening Roar will still prevent the opposing player from declaring an attack.One other thing to note is that when Jinzo is summoned, certain Counter-Trap cards can stop him. The most notable ones are Solemn Judgement and Forced Back. When a monster gets summoned, those particualar cards will negate the summon of the monster. Think of it like this: if you Tribute Summon Jinzo and your opponent activates Forced Back, Jinzo's Trap-negation effect never gets a chance to take effect and he gets return to your hand.


Can Jinzo in Yu-Gi-Oh be stopped with the Horn of Heaven?

If Jinzo is summoned it can be targetted by trap cards to stop it, once it has been succesfully summoned it's effect takes place and stops trap cards being activated. E.g you summon Jinzo, your opponent can immediately activate horn of heaven to destroy it. If Jinzo is already on the field then no trap cards can be activated. *Once he is summoned, he is impossible to stop with traps. If your trap says "negate the summon," then he was never summoned, and therefore didn't stop the trap. Otherwise it doesn't work. That is how you can tell in the future as well. -Dragonheart91*

Can Skill Drain nullify Jinzo's effect in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes and no. If Skill Drain is already active, then if Jinzo is summoned, his continuous effect is never applied. He will be negated. But if Jinzo is already face-up on the field, you can't even activate Skill Drain.Because Jinzo's effect is continuous, you can't wait until a player says they wish to summon Jinzo, and then try to activate Skill Drain. Jinzo will be summoned and be negating traps before your next opportunity to activate Skill Drain.
